I am trying to set up in my garage to tune my rifles and I am having trouble. I have led light above the photo eyes and the best I can get is 485fps or a error. Do I have to buy the lights made for this or can I do it another way. The lights in the garage lights are off and then tried with the lights on the same either way.

What type and model of gun are you using?
My competition crony works best inside with the light kit
you can purchase separately for it. The readings are slightly
faster and hardly any errors with that setup.
That light kit is UV and you don't even see the light only
the power indicators.

Try putting a cover over the chrony like an umbrella so it does not have direct light shinning down on it.

The lights probably have a flicker. You need an incandescent or an led that is steady on. Also, the light hitting the sensors needs to be consistent and soft. I'll post a pic of what mine looks like when I get home.

I was having similar problem with my chrony ( competition electronics) , and after purchasing the IR led kit it has been flawless. I have mine set up in basement that just has pull string fixtures. If they make a kit that works with that model I would say its worth the money.

I'm using led lights I think I'm not setting it up right. I'll check out your picture when you post it. Thanks.

I was tired of struggling with my F1 chrony indoors so I got a pro with IR screens. Not one error in thousands of shots. Put the screens on my F1 before I gave it away, and it also worked perfect. I highly recommend IR screens for any chronograph!!
It really is nice to simply plug in the screens and turn on the chrono with no worries of errors or bad readings and no more fiddling with lights and what not trying to get the chrono to read.

I was referring to what model air gun not crony.
That would be a an ok fps for a co2 such as a crosman pistol.
I would keep it at least 3' from the muzzle.

Three bulbs on each light, I'm sure its overkill. I already had this around the house.
So far this has worked for me both on the porch in the evenings and outside at night. I needed to find something to get my F1 Chrony to work in low light, as the days here are soon to be very short.
Your best bet to get LEDs that work is to get battery powered or DC converted lights. Some of them still may not work if the lights are connected to a circuit instead of direct to battery. The sensors on the chrono need to have steady light. I was going to use an incandescent light for mine, but couldn't find one I liked.

I see where I went wrong. Thank you for the picture it is worth 10000 words. I know what to do. I had the lights below the defusers. I can fix this after work. Thank-you thank you thank you. Frank.

The important part of the lights is that they simulate a cloudy day. That's why the light needs to be soft and steady. You can use an overhead light on the ceiling as well. I like mounted lights so I can move my Chrony where I need to do my testing at.

Yes I did thank-you for the pictures that really helped Bill. Now how fast can I shoot jsb 25.4 pellets before I do more harm than good. I know less than 1150 fps. Now I'm at 950.

I think anything over 1,000fps is breaking the sound barrier... I may be wrong. .25 @ 950 is cooking
what's that 50fpe? Upvote 0
