• Make sure the
t battery hass a min. of 7.55 VDC
• Place the Chhrony so shotss fired will 4” to 6” above the
t top of the photo-sensors
p s (black boxess). 4”
for open sightts, 6” for scop
ped rifles

Step-2
Minimum disstance of Chro ony from muzzzle:
• Air gun & .222 rim fire – 3’ 3
• Bow & Arrow w – 4’
• Shot gun – 5’ 5
• Small calibre centre
c fire – 8’ (lo
ow velocity round
nds)
• High calibre ceentre fire – 10’ to
o 15’ (the bigger bblast, the longer distance)

Step-3
• For indoor shooting
s ensurre no fluoresccent lights are used, & installl only 6.5” roods as guides.
• For outdoorr shooting, maake sure nothinng is between the Chrony and the sky (brranches, roofss)
nly the 6.5” wire rrods as aiming guides
• On hazy, clouddy days install on g

Indoor / “hazy weather” set-up


p:

• On clear, suunny days, commmon set-up w would includee installing 6.55” wire-rods innto the sensorr
housings, folllowed by 9.25 5” rods, and usse of all 6 difffusers pieces. Bench-rest shhooters may op pt. to
only use the 9.25”
9 rods, leaaving out the ccentre section
n of the white diffusers
d more reliable, accurate
for m
readings.

Common set-upp: Bench-resst set-up:


Functions:
Having turned on the unit it will identify itself as a Beta model by flashing “[BE]” with symbols on either side. You
have 6 memory strings available, with 10 shots in each string. The Chrony starts to register shots in the first
empty string. Shots are all recorded in temporary memory that will be lost when the unit is turned off unless the
shots are stored in permanent memory by pressing the red “ST” button. After 10 shots the Chrony will
alternately flash “=LN=” three times which means “Last Number” available in this string. If you continue to
shoot you will overwrite the information recorded as shot #1 in this string, and the display will alternately flash
“=SO=” after each shot meaning “Shot Over”.

•Red “ST” Button:


Press & release to record all shots in your current string to permanent memory, and move to the next
string to start recording (the number of the next string will be displayed as long as you hold the red
“ST” button).

• “FU” Button:
Press and release to cycle through string data. You can return to shooting mode by pressing “ST” at
any time.

“Sn” – Shot number


“Lo” – Lowest velocity
“Hi” – Highest velocity
“Av” – Average velocity
“ES” – Extreme Spread
“Sd” – Standard deviation
“I’o” – Total # of shots fired since unit was turned on
“10” though “1” – Cycles though shots fired in the current string
“[ ]” – End of cycle, ready to shoot again

•“Forget” Button:
Used only to delete an entire string from temporary memory. Select a string number using the “ST”
button, press & release “Forget” to delete all shots in that strings temporary memory.

Deleting a single shot:


Press & release the “FU” button until the desired shot number is displayed then hold the “FU” button until the
display flashes.

Deleting all permanent memory:


Press & release the “FU” button until “HI” appears, then hold the button in until “CL” appears, release the
button until “CLR“ appears, press & release the button twice and “CLE” appears, press & hold the button until
the display flashes & release the button immediately. Turn the unit off.

Troubleshooting:
False or incorrect readings are usually caused by either light conditions, or muzzle blast.

The display may flash any one of the following codes:


“Lb” – Low battery
“Err 1” – The first sensor did not detect the passage of the bullet.
“Err 2” – The second sensor did not detect the passage of the bullet.
“Err 3 thru 9” – Poor light conditions. Installing, adjusting, or removing the diffusers may help.

Calculating Energy:

Average velocity X average velocity X weight of bullet in grains /450,240 = _________ft. lbs.
