QUICK SETUP

Switching your Droid on and off

The on/off switch is located on the upper section of the rear of the frame. This

slide switch should be switched towards the barrel of the marker to switch the
marker on. Slide the switch the opposite direction to switch the marker off. Suc-

cessful power up is indicated by the LED on the side of the wrap around grip.

Firing your Droid

If a Paintball is loaded in your Droid, and the power is switched on, you may
re the Droid by pulling the trigger. If a paintball is not loaded, then you need to

either load one, or read the section below on disabling the beam sensor.

Understanding the beam sensor

Your Droid is equipped with a visible light sensor to determine if a paintball is

correctly loaded. This system is used to prevent accidental ball breakage due to
misloaded paintballs. The LED indicator on the side of your grip will show you
the status of the beam sensor:

Green: Ball is loaded
Red: Ball is not loaded
Flashing Orange: Sensor malfunction
Flashing Red: Sensor disabled

Ball

Loaded

Disabling the beam sensor

To disable the sensor (for dry ring), hold the trigger in until the indicator LED
begins ashing red. You can re-enable the beam sensor the same way.

No Ball

Loaded

Installing a Preset Air System

Your MacDev Droid comes equipped with a high quality venting ASA (Air Sys-

tem Adaptor) that is designed for use with commercially available Air/Nitrogen

systems.

The venting ASA that is included with your Droid uses a screw cap to turn the
air from your preset system on or off. Before installing your preset air system,

you must unscrew the ASA cap by approximately 3 turns (do not unscrew it

further, as the cap can come off completely).

WHEN SCREWING YOUR AIR SYSTEM INTO THE ASA, THE
THREADS SHOULD BE LOOSE. IF AT ANY POINT THEY BECOME
TIGHT, DO NOT FORCE THE THREADS, THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE
TO YOUR SYSTEM OR YOUR DROID MARKER!

Once this is done, carefully screw your air system into the ASA until it stops.

Turning the air on and off

To pressurise your Droid marker, screw the ASA cap down until it stops. This

will depress the pin on the end of your air system and pressurise the marker

(provided you have sufcient air in your air system).

NOTE: WHEN YOU UNSCREW THE ASA CAP, YOUR MARKER USU­ALLY STORES ONE SHOT. POINT THE MARKER IN A SAFE DIREC­TION AND FIRE OFF THAT SHOT BEFORE ENTERING A SAFE AREA.

Using a loader with your Droid

Your Droid Marker can operate using any commercially available loader.

The software and beam sensor will compensate for the speed of the hopper,
together ensuring that the marker res as quickly as the loader allows.

All Droid markers are equipped with a cam lever clamping feed tube. This

system allows the easy installation and removal of your loader. You will need
to adjust the feed tube to suit the loader that you have.

Installing a loader onto your Droid

Open the cam lever as shown. This should allow your loader neck to t into
the feed tube as shown. If your feed tube does not t into the feed tube, then
you may have to loosen the adjustment screw slightly. Once your loader is

MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR LOADER.

pushed all the way down into the feed tube, close the cam lever. If your loader
is loose, you may now tighten the adjustment screw (by turning clockwise) to

tighten the loader in place.

Removing your loader

Open the clamp by swinging the lever on its hinge. This will loosen the loader
and allow you to remove it easily. If it does not remove easily, then it means

that you have the clamp adjustment screw overtightened.

loaders here

USING YOUR DROID

To get the most out of your Droid, make sure that you follow the instructions in

this section to ensure that the marker is adjusted correctly.

Adjusting the velocity

The velocity of the Droid is adjusted via an adjustment screw on your inline
regulator. To increase velocity, use a 3/32” allen key to turn the adjustment

screw anti clockwise. Always adjust your Droid gently and using a chrono­graph.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR VELOCITY ABOVE 300FPS, AND ALWAYS
OBEY LOCAL LAWS AND REQUIREMENTS.

Adjusting the trigger

Your Droid trigger has three adjustment screws, they are located in the front

face of the trigger in the following order from top to bottom:

- Pull tension

- Switch actuation point

- Pull length
You may easily adjust these three screws to personalise the feel of your trigger.

CAUTION! WHEN ADJUSTING THE SWITCH ACTUATION SCREW,
MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU DO NOT ADJUST THE SCREW IN TOO
FAR, AS THIS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR MICROSWITCH.

Replacing the battery

Lay your Droid on a table with the barrel pointing to your left and the feed tube
pointing away from you.

Remove the three screws that hold the wrap around grip on and peel the grip back to allow access to the
battery. Remove the old battery, and replace it with a new one. Only use high quality alkaline 9V batteries,

the best possible choice is to use a MacDev Militia PowerPack (type 6LR61).

CAUTION! WHEN REMOVING THE BATTERY, TAKE CARE NOT TO PULL ON THE WIRES CONNECT­ING IT TO YOUR BOARD.

Once your new battery is installed, ensure that all wires are in the grip cavity before replacing the wrap
around grip and xing it in place using the three screws.

Advanced Setup

About the tourney lock

The Droid board is equipped with a tourney lock system. When the tourney lock system is activated, the gun
cannot be reprogrammed on the eld - making it tournament legal.

DO NOT USE A SHARP OR METAL OBJECT ON THE TOURNEY LOCK BUTTON. DO NOT USE EX­CESSIVE FORCE - THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR BOARD!

To use the tourney lock, you must remove the three screws holding the left hand side of the wrap around grip
on your frame. On the board, there is a small copper button. Use a q-tip or similar non metallic, blunt object
to hold this down. The board will ash red/green, and then end on either red or green. This ending colour
indicates the state of the tourney lock:

Red: Tourney lock on
Green: Tourney lock off

Once you have nished with the tourney lock, replace the wrap around grip and

screws before playing.

Programming the Droid Software

To program the board, turn the gun off. Hold down the trigger whilst turning the
gun on. The indicator light will turn white, continue to hold the trigger until it goes
blue (debounce register). Press the trigger once to advance to the next setting

as given below. When you have a setting you would like to change, hold the trig­ger until the indicator light goes out. Release the trigger, and the indicator light
will ash to show the current setting. Then when it goes out, input the new setting by the trigger and wait

for the indicator light to go solid again.

Setting the Debounce - LED Colour Blue

The debounce setting of your marker is used to control the amount of ”bounce” in your trigger. A very
low debounce setting will result in a lot of bounce. In some tournaments or elds, it will be necessary to

reduce the amount of bounce by increasing the debounce setting. Always increase the debounce slowly,

because settings higher than 15 will result in your marker feeling unresponsive.

Setting the Dwell - LED Colour Red

The dwell setting controls the amount of time that your solenoid is held open. A very low dwell will result

in very poor performance from your Droid, whilst a very high value will result in a very slow maximum rate

of re. For best results, you should only operate your Droid dwell in the range of 12-16ms.

Setting the Fire Mode - LED Colour White

Your Droid is equipped with 12 different re modes. These re modes will allow you to use your Droid in

many different situations - tournament play, recreational and scenario. Always follow the rules and local

regulations when selecting your re mode. The available re modes are given below:

1 Uncapped semi

2 Capped semi

3 PSP Auto Response

4 PSP/Millenium mild ramp
5 PSP/Millenium max ramp

6 PSP Z-Burst

7 NXL Full Auto

11 3 shot burst
12 Full auto

NOTE: SOME VERSIONS MAY
HAVE SOME MODES REMOVED
TO COMPLY WITH LOCAL LAWS.
FOR EXAMPLE, ALL MARKERS
SOLD IN AUSTRALIA OFFER
ONLY SEMI AUTO MODES.

Setting the Rate of Fire (ROF) - LED Colour Green

Your Droid can electronically limit its maximum ROF. This is required in some
tournaments or elds. In uncapped modes, the ROF will only be limited by the
speed of the gun and hopper. If you use a capped mode (like PSP or Millenni­um), the mode will obey the maximum ROF. The ROF is adjustable from 11bps
in 1/4bps increments (1=11, 2=11.25, 3=11.5 ... 26=uncapped).

Setting the Loader Delay

Contents

Quick Setup
Using your Droid
Advanced Setup
Maintenance
Parts List
Troubleshooting

This is a small dwell included to allow the ball to settle into your marker breach
before ring. For a very fast loader, this may be set to 1, for slow hoppers it
should be higher. If your loader delay is set too low for your loader, then you may experience paintballs

breaking in the Droid breech.

Setting the Anti Mechanical Bounce (AMB)

Primarily, you should use the Debounce register to remove bounce from your Droid marker. However, if
you experience excessive bounce, it may be from a mechanical source. This AMB lter is designed to

remove excessive bounce, and it should be incremented slowly to remove bounce when bounce cannot
be removed using the Debounce register.

Setting the Anti Bolt Stick (ABS)

When your marker is idle for long periods, friction and settling effects can cause your bolt or other mov­ing parts to be sticky. The ABS system is used to overcome this on the rst shot by temporarily increas­ing the dwell setting. The ABS is adjustable from 1-10ms where the setting is the temporary increase in
dwell, and a setting of 1 removes the ABS completely.

Setting the Ramp Start

When using a ramp mode, this setting can be used to set the re rate at which ramping starts – adjust­able from 4-14bps. Current PSP rules require a minimum setting of 5bps, whilst current Millennium

14

rules require a minimum setting of 8bps.

Setting the Cycle Filter

Your software allows the buffering of a single shot in case you pull the trigger during a cycle. This lter
can be used to reduce the time allowed to buffer this shot. Adjustable from 1 (full buffer) to 10 full cycle
lter. Higher settings will reduce the amount of mechanical bounce in the marker, whilst low settings will

make the marker feel aggressive and responsive.

Setting the Eye Mode

Your Droid can utilise the beam sensor (eye) in different ways. This setting can be used to select which
way you would like to have the sensor used. The system can use a delayed mode, where if a ball is not
detected in the breech, a shot will be red after a half second delay. This mode is useful if you are using

a sound activated loader, or if you would like your gun to indicate to you when you are out of paintballs.

Another option is the forced mode. In this mode, the marker will only re if a ball is detected. However,
the user can force a shot to be red by holding the trigger until the marker res.
The beam sensor can also be used to test the speed of your Droid by watching the bolt during dry ring.
To allow this, your Droid has two test modes - test mode with full dwell, and test mode with adjusted
dwell. When red in these modes, your Droid will report back to you the approximate speed achieved via
the colour of the indicator LED. The colours are given below:
To set your eye mode, use the following register settings:

red : less than 10bps
yellow : 10-15bps
green : 15-20bps

The test mode with full dwell uses the same dwell that you are currently using with your marker, the test

mode with adjustable dwell allows you to conveniently change the test mode dwell without changing the

1 - delayed

2 - forced

blue : 20-25bps
white : 25+bps.

3 - test mode with full dwell
4 - test mode with adjusted dwell

usual operating dwell of your marker. To adjust this dwell, use the last register
(Test mode dwell).

Setting the Bolt Tracking Delay

The bolt tracking delay is a parameter used to ensure that bolt tracking is work­ing correctly. Do not adjust this unless you are advised by a MacDev tech.

Setting the Test Mode Dwell

The test mode dwell is used to adjust the dwell used when the user selects the
test mode with adjustable dwell in the eye mode register (Described above).
The user may adjust this setting from 1-30ms.

Resetting the Software

If required, the software may be reset to the
factory defaults. This is useful if the user has

made changes to the software settings that
result in malfunctions, the software may be
quickly and easily reset to default.

Before attempting to reset the board, you

must have the wrap around grip open on the
left hand side and be able to enter program-

ming mode. If your board has the tourney lock

enabled, you will have to disable it before

continuing. For instructions on this see the

beginning of the Advanced Setup section.

mode (turn the Droid on with the trigger depressed). The indicator LED should now show blue (debounce
register). Use a q-tip or similar non metallic, blunt item to depress the tourney lock button as shown. Hold the
button for approximately 10 seconds until you see the indicator LED ash a rainbow of colours. The software

is now reset to default settings.

If you experience difculties setting or resetting your software, please contact your closest MacDev tech for

advice.

Maintenance

If you take 10 minutes after every day of play to maintain your Droid, you will be rewarded with consistent

reliable performance.

You should perform basic cleaning after every day of play, and you should perform drive train and inline regu­lator maintenance after at least every 2 days of play. You can clean and maintain your Droid more often, it is
up to you.

When maintaining your Droid, use only MacDev accessories. Your Droid is packaged with an allen key set

and a small tub of MacDev Militia Lube, only use Militia Lube to lubricate your Droid.

Basic cleaning

After using your Droid, always clean old paint from the outside. Always clean your barrel using a barrel swab

to remove traces of dirt and paint. Use your barrel swab to clean the breech and feed tube in a similar way.

Your Droid internal parts are quite well protected and sealed. However, when not in use, dirt can get into the
marker and cause problems - so storage of your marker is just as important as cleaning. When storing your

marker, ensure that it is stored in a closed box or bag that is free of dirt, otherwise dirt may get into the vent­ing ASA or breech.

Maintaining the drive train

The drive train is the hardest working part of your Droid. To work well, it should be cleaned and relubri­cated using the MacDev Militia Lube included with your Droid.

Before working on the drive train, ensure that your Droid is depressurised, switched off and has no paint
inside. To remove the drive train assembly, rst you must remove the top locating screw. Then remove

the back cap, and use the short end of your allen key to hook the slots on the rear of the drive train. You
should then be able to pull the drive train out of your Droid.

Now that the drive train is out of the marker, you can put the marker body aside to concentrate on the
drive train.

Disassemble the drive train by unscrewing the keg, joiner and valve keg. You can now remove the bolt.

Unscrew the power tube cap and remove the power tube and valve.

All of the internal parts are now separated, so clean the old grease off them using a clean cloth, and
clean the old grease out of the keg and valve keg bores using a q-tip.

18

Use Militia Lube to lubricate the valve bore and valve o-rings. Slide the valve back into the valve bore.

Make certain that it is inserted the correct way - as shown.

Slide the power tube back into the valve keg and screw the retainer cap rmly over the end. Ensure that
the oating valve keg oating o-ring is in place, and screw the joiner into the valve keg.

Lubricate the keg bore, and the bolt switching o-rings, and then slide the bolt back into the keg.

Make sure that the keg oating o-ring is in place. Lubricate the power tube o-rings and slide the bolt and

keg over the power tube, and screw it over the joiner.

Lubricate the drive train outside o-rings, and align the keg locating slot carefully to the top of your Droid.
Slide the drive train into the Droid body without twisting it, until it stops.
Look down the locating hole to check the alignment of the locating hole with the locating slot on the keg.

If it is slightly misaligned, use a small allen key to push it into place through the locating hole. If it is very

badly misaligned, you may have to remove the drive train and begin again.

Once the drive train is correctly aligned, x it in place using the top locating screw and seal the chamber

by replacing the back cap.

Your Drive train is now primed and ready for use. If your Droid does not work correctly after maintaining

the drive train, check that it is aligned, and reassembled correctly.

Maintaining the inline regulator

Your inline regulator (otherwise know as Gladiator reg), regulates the pressure from your air system
down to the pressure used to re your Droid. It is very important that your inline regulator is working
well, if not, you may experience problems with velocity uctuation or shootdown.

Before working on your Gladiator reg, make certain that the air supply is turned off (via the venting
ASA), and safely re any gas out of the gun to ensure it does not have any residual pressure.

Contents

Remove the hose from the tting in the bottom of the Gladiator reg - you do this
by pushing the collar in, whilst pulling the hose out. Once the hose is removed,

you can unscrew the Gladiator reg from your Droid. Put your Droid aside so that
you can concentrate on your Gladiator reg.

Unscrew the bottomworks from the topworks of the Gladiator reg. You should
be able to do this by hand, however, if you nd it difcult, there is an allen hex

inside the topworks and ats that you can use for grip on the bottomworks.

Use an allen key from your tool set to push the internals out of the topworks. Disassemble the internals

as shown.

Use a clean cloth to wipe the old grease from the o-rings. Use a q-tip to clean the old grease from inside

the topworks bore.

Apply a thin lm of grease to the shaft of the piston and the retainer o-rings before re-assembling the
internals. Use your nger or a q-tip to apply a thin lm of grease to the topworks bore, and apply a gener­ous lm of grease to the piston o-ring before pushing the internals back into the Gladiator reg topworks.

Now use your clean cloth to remove any excess grease from the piston tip and clean the seat (the red
plastic part in the centre of the bottomworks. Screw the topworks and bottomworks back together. Make
certain that the Gladiator reg is screwed together rmly by hand. This will prevent it from unscrewing ac­cidentally during play.

Re-assemble your Droid be attaching the Gladiator inline reg and hose. Push the hose in rmly until it
stops. Re-chronograph your Droid before use on the eld.
