5. PSJ-M3 installation
! PSJ should be installed by specia lists only!
Advanced knowle dge of AEG replic a s is crucial!
Basic knowledge of electronics and s oldering skil ls are needed as well .
Never use soldering gun!
Manufacturer takes no responsi bility for damages c a used by unprofessiona l installati on!
5.1. Preparation
For PSJ-M3 installation, take ge a r b ox out of your replica, open it and remov e all of its content.
Pict.1: Gearbox with all of its content removed
5.2. PSJ-M3 mounting
Insert your unit into gearbox, bottom side first. If it does not fit properly, you need to adjust gear box. Prepare gearbox for smoo th unit insertion. After your unit is place d, check for any c onductive contacts with g ea rbox. If there are any, you need to insulate th em ! You can sharpen your gearbox or you ca n use some insulation m a te r ial. Bottom side of un it is insulated by pre-installed insul ation foil. Before final insertion, r em ove protective f oil from heat-conducting foil. Now you can fix the unit with a screw and organise cables. Never sharpen the unit.

5.3. Selector plate
Insert prepared selector pl a te in to position of your g earbox. Check if the magnet is right above the probe, when selector is set on se m i. If not, adjust magnet on selector plate. If you wish to m od ify your own se lector plate, you need to remove part of plate where it meets cut-off lever. Finally, stick the m agnet on selector, so it is a b ove the probe when selector is s et on semi. Magnet polari ty does n’t matter, magnet must be ov er the probe when is set on semi. For better placing, we r e c om mend to mill a slot for the magnet.

5.4. Cut-off lever installation
Place the magnet on your cut-off lever, s o in its default position, m agnet almost touches the probe. It is enough to use superglue. For correct installation, there is LED indicator on the unit. For control of right position of mag net, connect your battery to laboratory pow er s upply and insert the piston gear. By rotat ing it, cut-off leve r s hould lift and return and LED indicator should r e a c t b y turning off an d on again. If you incorre c t c onnect power source and it will cause a short-circuit, it will lead to irrefutable damage of your PSJ.
Test example: connect battery power source to power wires +(red) and –(black), LED indicator will light up for 5s (will make unit check), then is possible to rotate pisto n gear and test cut-off le ver function. LED indicator will turn on and off when magnet will be closer or farther from probe.
Importatnt warning: if you press trigger with alre ady ins talle d magnet, you will deactivate test mode and LED indicator will not react on cut-off lever move. For test mode reactivation you need to disconnect a connect again power source.

5.5. Trigger prepartion
Insert trigger into your gearbox a nd check if it goes smooth ly. If not, adj ust your trigger. Set the trigger to position, wher e you want your replica to fire and mark the c e nter of the probe. Now stick the magnet onto the trigger. If needed, you can very gently bend the probe to be ver y close to magnet, but not to touch it.

Values (after you selec t value, confirm it by holdin the trigger pulled f
1) Burst setting
Number of trigger pulls = number of s hots in burst (default = 3 shots)
2) Battery check setting
1) Li-Pol, Li-Ion (default)
2) Li-Fe
3) Off (recommended for Ni-MH, Ni-CD)
3) Fire mode setting
1) Semi - Burst/Auto (default)
2) Semi - Auto
3) Semi - Semi
4) Semi - Burst only
5) Burst only - Auto
6) Burst only - Burst/Auto (every trigger pull is followed by motor vibrating as ma ny times as the number of currently selected of fire mode is)
4) Shooting delay setting
Each trigger pull = +20ms
(every time you s e t the delay, you sta r t from the default value 0ms, for default value, just hold the trigger pulled for 5s )
5) Reset to defau lt values (returns all settings to their default values)
Hold the trigger pu lled for 5s to confirm r e s ta rt. If you do not wis h to reset your settings, disconnect your battery
6) Rate of fire setting
Each trigger pull = - 10% (range 100% - 10%) (every time you s e t the rate, you start from the default value 100%, for defau lt value, just hold the trigger pulled f or 5s)
7) Active brake setting
Each trigger pull = - 10% (range 100% - 0%) (every time you set the brak in g effect, you start from the defa ult value 100%, for default value, just hold the trig ge r pulled for 5s)
6.1. Preset modes
6.2. Unit programming
a) For programming, connect a battery and within 5 seconds pull and hold the trigger for another 5 secon d s .
Entering is confirmed by the motor vib r a ting twice.
b) Next, choose category from menu by pulling the trigger as many times as the category number you wish to
select indicates. To confirm selecti on, pull and hold th e tr igger for 5 seconds . Your choice is confirmed by motor vibrating as many times as th e s e lec ted number is and you are now in the su bm enu.
c) When changing fire mode (s ubmenu 3), every trigger pull is followed by motor vibrating as m a ny times as
the number of cur rently selected fire mode indicates. Submenu goes in circle, so number 6 is followed by number 1. For submenu values, refer to the table below.
d) When you are done with setting value, pull and hold the trigger for 5 seconds to sa ve your settings. Double
vibration confirms successful s a ving and exiting programming fun c tion. Now you’re ready to go. Your settings stay saved even after disconnecting the battery.
(selection is con firmed by motor vibrations, number of vibrations =
g
or 5s)
.
Example of programming:
Then pull the trigger 3 times and then pull and hold for 5s – you‘re entering Fire mode setting. Ente ring is confirmed by three vibrations. Now pull the trigger - after each pull, vibrations will tell you which mode you‘re on. If you pulled the trigger 5 times, you chose number 5 (mode Burst only - Auto). Five vibrations will confirm this selection. To save it, pull and hold the trigger for 5s. Now double vibration sounds, which means the setting is saved and the programming mode has been shut. Your replica is now ready with selected setting.
First, connect the battery and pull and hold the trig ge r for 5 seconds. Double vibration will sound.

6.3. Motor vibrations meaning
1x vibration - after th e ba tter y has been connected, unit perf orm s a s elf-check and confirms functionality
2x vibration - entering programming mode, savin g a nd exiting programming mode
3x vibration - malf unction or damage detected
4x vibration - low battery detec ted
6x vibration - entering manual mode
6.4. Manual mode
If your PSJ indic a te s d a m age and you are sur e it is not m echanical malfunction and your replica is able to shoot, you can access manual mode. In this mode, malfunction is ignored and you are allow ed to fire on full au to m od e, regardless of selected fire m ode or s elector setting.
WARNING! By poor judgement, you c an cause more damage to your replica and PS J unit!! This mode is not recommended for users without advanced knowledge of A EG replicas principles!
To enter manua l m ode a fter your replica indicates malfu nction, just pull a nd hold the trigger for 10 s e c onds. Entering is confirmed by 6 vibration s .
7. Troubleshooting
Is your PSJ not working correctly? Check, where the probl em could be:
7.1. Replica is not reacting at all.
Check if the battery is conn ec ted a nd charged properly. Also check that all wires are connected properly to
all elements – motor , battery.
If the replica is equipped with safety fuse, check if the fuse hasn’t been blown.
7.2. Replica vibrates when battery is connected, but a fter that it does not re a c t .
Problem in trigger s etting. Chec k if your trigger is ins talled properly – ma g net should almost touch the
sensor when the trigger is pulled. Adjust if needed.
7.3. Selector is set on “semi”, but acts like “auto” is selected.
Poor selector pla te installation. Check, whether the magnet on the selector is directly abov e the sensor when
selector is set on semi. Adjust if needed.
7.4. Selector is set on “auto”, but acts like “semi” is selecte d.
Poor selector pla te installation. Check, whether the magnet on the selector is away from sensor when
selector is set on auto. Adjus t if needed.
Check if the fire s e lec tor is properly moving the selector pla te when switched.
Check if the selector plate is run ning smoothly in the gearb ox. I fit gets jammed, adjust the selector plate or
the gearbox to allow s mooth movement.
7.5. Replica s hoots one or more shots a nd th e n vibrates 3 ti mes.
Cut-off lever not working properly. Check if the magnet is close enough to the sensor, L ED indication will
help you. Adjust if necess ary .
Check if the selector plate spring is s tr ong enough to retur n the cut-off lever to its base position. If not, the
magnet might be too far from th e s ensor. The cut-off lever needs to return to its ba se position in all fir e modes. Using stronger spring is recommended.
Check if the cut-off lever is installed properly. Im pr op er installation can result in lateral movement of cut-off
lever during sh ooting, pushing it ou t of range of the sens or .
7.6. Replica does not shoot, just vibrates 3 times and the vibrates with each trigger pull.
Mechanical ma lfunction of your r ep lic a has been detected. Check if the motor and th e gea r s a r e not jammed
and are working properly. If you are sure the replica is mechanically ok, you can access manual mode – see figure 6.4.
Check if the selector plate is not lifting up the cut-off lever a nd preventing the cycle to be f inished. If so, it‘ s
necessary to en la rge the area cut off of the selector plate in or der not to lift the c ut-off lever.
7.7. Replica vibrates 4 times repeatedly.
Your battery is disc harged. Chan g e your battery and do n ot forget to charge th e discharged one.
If your battery is charged proper ly, your battery setting ma y be wrong – see figure 6.2 to adjust th e s ett ing.
7.8. If your installation is unsuc c essful.
If your installa tion is unsuccessful, you can opt to send your replica to our installation and r epa ir c enter.
