SCATT problem

Hi, My Scatt has started to fie of a shot by itself if I do a fast lift and come in to the target "with speed". Some time it has happened when holding still.
The piezo is adjusted to 0,5 where it is at its best, I can do about 40 shots, if I am careful, without a "wild shot".
The pistol is a Hämmerli FP60

Is there anything rattling on the pistol? Have you tried using a velcro strap to run the cable back to wrist before it goes to the unit.

You need to eliminate all sources of rattles and clicks.

It is alway possible that something might have become loose in the sensor and that is rattling with a fast raise.

No, no sound or anything. Just a fast sweep and it goes bang 30%.
Even if there was some thing loose anwhere the movement is so smoth as it can be and yes i have a velcro tape so no movement there.
If I go careful in to the target it works 95 % of the times but a fast sweep and one can be sure to have a bang 30 - 50%. Once it went bang when all was fairly still in the middle :-( It is in a quiet room!

If adjusting the piezo sensitivity doesn't work then I'm afraid it sounds like it needs to go back for test/repair Kent.

How close is the target to the pistol (Sensor)? If it is too close I have observed that same problem.

PS: the piezo sensitivity seems like it is very low. Why is tyhat the case and why won't it work at the typical setting of ~4.5-5?
