Troubleshooting the NateChrony

There’s no WiFi
The NateChrony will always create the ChronyX Wi-Fi network, ensure there are no other networks with the same name nearby. If it is not connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network, perform a Wi-Fi password reset and reconfigure.
If connecting to an existing network, connect to the ChronyX network first and view the IP address in the lower left of the screen. If it is 0.0.0.0 then it has not connected successfully to an existing network.

It is not detecting my shots
The pellet must pass both sensors to register a shot. Use the troubleshooting procedure (dropping a AAA battery through the NateChrony) to verify it is functioning correctly. If this is successful - then it is an alignment issue. Ensure the adapter is correctly and firmly installed on the barrel.
Check the IR transmitters by removing the 2 top covers, power the NateChrony and use your mobile phone to see that both transmitters (2 legs) are glowing a faint purple colour.

My speed readings are zero
This will be due to a dirty or blocked rear (closest to the muzzle) sensor. Ensure your rifle is clean and that it is not blowing out debris (i.e. graphite lubricant, moderator) or burnt lubricant. Clean the barrel with cleaning pellets before, and while using the NateChrony to keep it clean. Use compressed air or a vacuum to remove any obstructions or debris from inside the NateChrony. You can also perform the teardown and clean procedure, use a cotton bud to clean the transmitters and sensors.

My speed readings are bonkers high
This will be due to a dirty front sensor (farthest from the muzzle). Ensure your rifle is clean and that it is not blowing out debris (i.e. graphite lubricant, moderator) or burnt lubricant. Clean the barrel with cleaning pellets before, and while using the NateChrony to keep it clean. Use compressed air or a vacuum to remove any obstructions or debris from inside the NateChrony. You can also perform the teardown and clean procedure, use a cotton bud to clean the transmitters and sensors.

I’ve lost my WiFi passwords and cant connect
Perform the password reset procedure.

  1. Remove the NateChrony from the rifle
  2. Insert an object/finger into the front sensor & keep it in there
  3. Power up the NateChrony & count 3 seconds
  4. Remove the object/finger It will then remove all WiFi passwords and reboot. You can then connect to the Chrony WiFi network without a password
