USING YOUR MARKER |
USING YOUR MARKER |
Air Supply |
Adjusting Velocity |
The NT should be operated using air/nitrogen gas only. This air needs to be supplied to the Hyper3™ in-line regulator at a regulated pressure of no more than 850 psi. The Hyper3™ in-line regulator comes factory preset at 130psi.
Gassing Up Your NT
Screw in your air system to the ON/OFF airport and rotate the side lever counter clockwise until the internal stop is reached.
Turning On Your NT
The velocity is adjusted through the Hyper3™ in-line regulator. The Hyper3™ in-line is preset from the factory at approximately 130 psi. This pressure setting should have the marker shooting at about 285fps. Your paint-to-barrel fit will also have a noticeable effect on your velocity. Make sure that the paintball fits into the barrel and does not drop through.
NOTE: For the Hyper3™, turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the output pressure, decreasing the velocity. Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the output pressure, increasing the velocity..
CHANGING THE BATTERY
The NT’s power is controlled by two buttons. The top button turns the marker on and off, while the bottom button turns the eyes on and off. Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the marker on. The LED in the grip will illuminate during the boot sequence.
NOTE: If the eye is not working properly, try replacing the battery..

Hopper
The battery is housed on the right side of the grip frame. To access the battery, unhook the tool-less grips from the grip frame and open to expose the circuit board and battery. For detailed instructions on how to open the tool-less grips please see page 23. Carefully lift the battery out of the frame. When inserting a new battery, notice the + and – marks engraved on the gripframe. The positive lead of the 9V battery goes to the right. The battery should be inserted leads first and then the bottom of the battery pressed firmly into the frame.
To get the best performance out of your NT, it is recommended that you use a motorized loader, preferably the Rotor™ loader.
•A low battery will not be able to power both the ACE eye and the trigger switch, causing ACE eye failure.
•If the battery is low, it may not be able to power the solenoid correctly. This will affect the NT’s velocity, causing it to become inconsistent and/or low.

ULTRALITE AIRPORT - FEEDNECK |
NT BOARD |
|
Settings and Functions |
on/off ULTRALITE airport
The NT comes equipped with an ON/OFF Ultralite Airport attached to the bottom of the frame. To turn on the gas supply, rotate the side lever counter clockwise until the internal stop is reached. To turn off the gas supply, rotate the side lever clockwise until the other stop is reached. As you rotate the side lever past the mid point, the residual gas between the Hyper3™ and the ON/OFF airport will vent. See page 33 for service information. To remove the UL Airport from the UL frame see page 26.
Cam lever feed neck
The Cam Lever Feedneck is adjustable to fit any standard loader. To adjust the cam locking system, lift the cam lever away from the feed collar, and rotate the lever clockwise to tighten or counterclockwise to loosen the grip on the
loader. Once the cam lever is facing in the forward direction, press the cam lever down against the feed collar to secure the loader in the feedneck. To loosen the locking system and remove the loader, lift the cam lever away from the feed collar. Take care not to over-tighten the cam locking system. The lever should not be overly difficult to lower into the locked position.
NOTE: Even with the air supply removed the marker may have gas inside. Be sure to vent this gas. Mmake sure there are no paintballs in the breech and dry fire the marker in a safe direction..
FIGURE 1
NOTE: The eye is always activated when you turn the marker on..
Turning the NT ON and OFF
To turn on the NT, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds (see figure 1) until the LED’s turn blue. The blue light indicates board boot up. After the boot up sequence, the LED’s will turn either RED (no ball) or GREEN (ball ready to fire). To turn the NT off, press and hold the power button until the LED’s turn off.
NOTE: The NT automatically switches off after 10 minutes of non-use..
Firing the NT
As soon as the marker is turned on and the LED’s turn from blue to either red or green, the NT is ready to fire. If there is no ball and the LED’s are RED, you need to hold the trigger for 1 second to force the NT to fire once. If there is a paintball inside the breech and the LED is green, just press the trigger to fire the marker.
LED Light Indicator
The NT uses two super bright LED’s mounted on the circuit board inside the grip frame. These two lights are used to provide information to the user about the NT. They will always show the same information and it does not matter which LED you look at. One is mounted behind the NT logo on the left side of the grip panels. The other one can be seen by looking at the top left side of the grip frame while holding the NT in the position you would while playing a game.

When servicing your marker:
•Make sure a barrel sock is fitted to the NT.
•Make sure your hopper is removed from the NT.
•Make sure there are no paintballs in the breech of the NT.
•Always remove the first stage regulator and relieve all residual gas pressure from the NT before disassembly.
•The NT can hold a small residual charge of gas, typically 2 shots, with the first stage regulator removed. Always discharge the marker in a safe direction to relieve this residual gas pressure.

BOARD SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION MODE |
|
|
There are four settings you can alter on the NT board with the |
|
|
DIP switches inside the grip frame (see figure 1): |
|
|
Trigger Sensitivity - This setting adjusts the delay between |
|
|
two trigger pulls. |
|
|
Dwell - This is the time the solenoid is activated for. |
|
|
ROF - Rate Of Fire - When the eye is deactivated. |
|
|
Firing Mode - This is the firing mode the NT uses. |
|
|
There are two DIP switches mounted on the board of the NT |
|
|
(See figure 1). The first one is used for the factory reset and |
|
|
the second one is used to access the configuration mode, |
|
|
where changes to the four settings are made. |
|
|
DIP switch 1 (factory settings reset) – When DIP switch 1 is |
|
|
down, settings will be reset to |
|
|
|
|
factory values outlined on pages 10 and 11 once the NT is turned on. |
|
|
NOTE: User defined settings can’t be saved if DIP switch 1 is in the |
|
|
down position even if the values are changed in configuration mode.. |

NT BOARD
Settings and Functions
Configuration Mode -The following settings can only be modified in configuration mode and if dip switch one is in the ON (up) position. To activate configuration mode, turn your marker off and set DIP switch 2 to the ON position. Next, turn your marker on. The LEDs cycle through all colors for one second to indicate
that you have entered the configuration mode.
Normal Configuration
Mode Mode
To cycle through different settings, pull and release the trigger. Configuration mode has 4 settings that can be changed.
Green - Trigger Sensitivity Values 1 - 20 (factory default 3)
Trigger sensitivity is the amount of time that the trigger has to be released before the next trigger pull is allowed. In some situations with too low of a value, the NT can register more trigger pulls than what was actually pulled. This can cause the NT to shoot full auto, even in semi-automatic mode. To fix this, adjust trigger sensitivity setting higher.
Red - Dwell |
Values 0 - 20 (factory default 6) |
||
|
|
Dwell is the amount of time that the solenoid will be activated during |
|
|
|
||
|
|
each shot. |
|
|
|
• |
It is not recommended to adjust the Dwell. |
|
|
• |
If you choose to adjust the Dwell and use too low of setting the NT |
|
|
|
will not cycle. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
If you choose to adjust the Dwell and use too high of setting the |
|
|
|
NT will begin to double fire. |
