Keiron PRO Swinger Target
The Keiron PRO Swinger Target behaves in a very similar manner to a swinger target as used in competition shooting. A weight is used to provide a swinging, pendulum type motion once released, much like traditional targets. However, instead of a rope attached to a steel plate being used to release the target, the Keiron PRO Swinger target is activated and released wirelessly by the Keiron PRO network.
A simple pairing process creates a wireless link between the Swinger target and another Keiron PRO device. For example, if paired with a Keiron PRO target, then when the paired target is shot, the Swinger target is released and becomes active. Similarly, it could be paired with a Keiron PRO Motion Detector, which will activate the Swinger target once it detects motion. You can even pair it with another PRO Swinger Target, and you may also control it manually using the Keiron PRO Remote control.
The target is easy to reset, and also easy to setup to provide a full or limited range of motion, to the left or to the right.
When turned on, the Swinger Target can be in one of 3 states:
1. Waiting to be activated. The Swinger Target will not respond to any shots.
2. Activated. The Swinger Target will respond to strikes. The duration of this state may be programmed easily using a PRO Timer. (Active Time).
3. Paused. The Swinger Target can not be activated, nor will it respond to any shots. The duration of this state may be programmed easily using a PRO Timer. (Reset Time).
The ability to program the "Active Time" and "Reset Time" referred to above, gives the range designer great flexibility in designing training scenarios. For example, difficulty may be greatly increased by setting the Active Time to (for example) 3 seconds.
The Reset Time referred to above, is simply to prevent the target being activated erroneously during a training session.

Keiron PRO Motion Detector
The Keiron PRO motion detector uses a passive Infrared detector to detect motion within 160 degrees and up to 9 metres. The motion detector may be used to trigger:
1.A sound effect using a Keiron PRO EFFECTS Audiobox
2.Some actual physical movement using the Keiron PRO Motion Actuator
3.A Keiron PRO Swinging Target
4.Flashing or steady lights

Keiron PRO Motion Actuator
The Keiron PRO Motion Actuator may be triggered by a target or a Keiron PRO motion detector. Once triggered, a linear movement is created. The standard “desktop” model is battery powered and uses a 2mm steel rod that protrudes the side. One can choose to have the rod push or pull an item. It may be placed anywhere, to (for example) knock over an object, creating a noise and distraction and revealing a target, or to release an object. One could use it to pull the trigger of a paintball marker. As a highly portable battery powered device, range of motion is limited to +- 40mm and torque is limited, but custom actuators may be ordered. For example, Jacstech can provide an actuator with a range of motion of 12 inches and 100lbs force.

Keiron PRO Illuminator
The Keiron PRO Illuminator contains a bright LED light which is wirelessly activated by another, paired Keiron PRO device. It is intended to be used to either alert or distract a shooter, or for low light training to simulate a situation where the shooter is suddenly faced with an unexpected bright light. (For example, simulating a situation where a building is being cleared at night and a suspect turns on the lights).

Keiron PRO Remote Control
The Keiron PRO Remote Control is a handheld remote that offers some manual control over the Keiron PRO system. Generally all accessory products such as the swinger target, light effects and sound effects are automatic but sometimes it is useful to be able to trigger lights, sound effects and so on manually.

General Notes and Highlights
With just a PRO Timer and some PRO targets, you can set up a state of the art, laser based SAFE target training system. However, the system is very powerful and can do so much more. A basic concept behind all the Keiron PRO accessories is to create semi or fully automated training environments, that immerses the shooter in a dynamic environment, with movement, lights, sound and so on.
For LE and other tactical training, the system can be configured to provide a realistic training environment that can be trained often and safely. In real life any shooting situation is most likely to be stressful, high risk, adrenaline pumping type of affairs, so it is important to train accordingly. So for example, shooting on the move, from behind a barricade, shooting from the weak side from behind cover, and so on is all easy to do with Keiron PRO.
For competition shooters, it is straightforward to set up replicas of stages / competition environments in your home, and train hard and often.
