    Skan chrono faulty

    Hi, does anyone know anything about fixing skan chrono's as skan will not touch them if it's an older model, there fix was to buy a new one with 5 year warranty.
    It's a pro 1 series 3 from 2004, it's only catching about 30% of shots, or giving ridiculous high readings of 1560 fps where should be around 780 fps or not catching anything. No lighting or alignment issues, and all shot from around a foot or more away. Run off power supply giving around 15volts. All shots were made with the polish chrono in front which recorded all shots.

    Skan

    Martyn, have you tried cleaning/wiping the glass that is over the sensors in the diamond shape you shoot through. I had funny readings on mine a few times, found that the glass was very dusty on two of the bottom ones. Worked fine after cleaning gently, do not put to much pressure on them as they do not seem very strong may even be perspex.

    Put a piece of cardboard over the exit to keep the sunlight out.

    Skan chrono

    It is funny; a lot of firms want us to buy a new one instead of a repair/upgrade. I had this with my TomTom sat nav.

    I have one of these also, and a chrony. All of which are cheaper and better than the Skan.

    I use it inside so no sunlight, also happens in all types of lighting also in dark.
