Auto Pause is not working properly

Former Member over 7 years ago

I have setup the Auto Pause on my Garmin Edge 520, but I am facing an issue as it pause to record my rides even when I am still moving. I've noticed it pauses when I stop pedaling (on a descent), so I´d assume it´s because it uses the cadence sensor to admit that I´ve stop and not the GPS.
I have set it to use my velocite to pause recording, but it didn´t work as when I am stop pedaling (on a descent) the
speedometer shows 0 km/h. Do someone could help me?

It is most likely a problem with the wheel sensor. If it is the GSC 10 (that's the cadence/speed combo with magnets) check the alignment of the wheel magnet. It should be centered on the line on the speed…

Do you have a wheel speed sensor? If so, what kind?

Yes I do. It's the the sensor that came with Edge 520 Bundle (sorry but can't find the model name)

It is most likely a problem with the wheel sensor. If it is the GSC 10 (that's the cadence/speed combo with magnets) check the alignment of the wheel magnet. It should be centered on the line on the speed arm and the gap should be 2 to 5 mm. If you have the newer magnetless sensor that goes on the hub, I am not sure what the problem would be. You could disable the sensor in settings until you get the sensor problem sorted.

You need to change the battery in your sensor. If a hub sensor, you could also move it to the front hub to put it closer to the 520.

As I can´t find the sensor name I found a pict of it:

It is new, yesterday I realinged it on the hub, let´s see if it will works properly now if not I will change the battery.

I´ve also noticed that is not taking the distance correctly so yesterday I changed the wheels size in my device, hopefully it will now be right as well.
