THE EGO NAVIGATION CONSOLE

At the rear of the Ego’s grip frame you will nd the Navigation Console. The Navigation Console is used for several purposes including:

- TURNING THE EGO ON AND OFF USING THE BUTTON

- SCROLLING THROUGH MENU CHOICES WITH AND BUTTONS

- SELECTING PARAMETERS TO EDIT USING THE BUTTON

- EDITING PARAMETERS USING THE AND BUTTONS

- TURNING THE EGO BBSS ON AND OFF USING THE BUTTON

- RESETTING CERTAIN DISPLAY FEATURES USING THE BUTTON

INSTALLING A BATTERY

Ensure that the Eclipse Ego is switched off. Lay the marker on a at surface in front of you, with the feed tube furthest away and with the barrel pointing to the right.

Use a 5/64” hex wrench to remove the three countersunk screws that hold the rubber grip onto the frame (Note: a 2mm hex key can also be used). Peel the grip to the right to expose the electronics within the frame.

If present, remove the existing battery by sliding your thumb into the recess below the battery and levering the battery out of the frame (SEE FIGURE 2.1).

DO NOT pull on the top of the battery to remove it as this can cause the battery

terminals to bend and will result in a poor electrical connection.

Fit a 9-volt alkaline battery (type PP3, 6LR61 or MN1604) into the recess with the battery terminals away from you. The positive terminal should be on the right hand side, nearest to the side of the frame (SEE FIGURE 2.2).

Ensure that all of the wires are within the recess of the frame then replace the rubber grip and replace the three countersunk screws.

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

INSTALLING A PRESET AIR SYSTEM

Every Eclipse Ego comes complete with an Eclipse On/Off System allowing a preset regulator and tank to be screwed straight in for immediate use. Before screwing the preset into the Eclipse On/Off ensure that the On/Off knob is wound out approximately half way [SEE FIGURE 3.1].

Be careful not to unscrew the On/Off knob too far as it will come completely

NOTE: WHEN USING AN ECLIPSE ON/OFF ON YOUR ECLIPSE EGO, THE ECLIPSE EGO WILL STILL HAVE STORED AIR IN THE VALVE CHAMBER, GAS LINE AND INLINE REGULATOR AFTER YOU HAVE SWITCHED THE ECLIPSE ON/OFF OFF. PLEASE REMEMBER TO DISCHARGE THE STORED AIR IN A SAFE DIRECTION AS YOU ARE UNSCREWING THE ON/OFF KNOB ON THE ECLIPSE ON/OFF SYSTEM.

out of the Eclipse On/Off System. If this happens, replace

the On/Off knob by screwing it back into the Eclipse

On/Off system in a clockwise direction.

Screw the preset air system into the

Eclipse On/Off System [SEE FIGURE 3.2]

so that the bottle screws in all the

way and is tight. Slowly turn the

On/Off knob in a clockwise direction

allowing the Eclipse On/Off System

to depress the pin of the preset air system causing the Eclipse Ego to become pressurized, providing that there is sufcient air in your tank [SEE

FIGURE 3.3].

You have now installed a preset air

system onto your Eclipse Ego.

INSTALLING AN ADJUSTABLE AIR SYSTEM

Firstly disconnect the ” hosing from the elbow attached to the Eclipse On/ Off system at the base of the grip frame [SEE FIGURE 3.4].

Unscrew the On/Off knob completely from the Eclipse On/Off system and using a 3/32nd hex key turn the two screws on the left hand side of the integrated slide rail at the base of the grip frame in a counter clockwise direction so that the Eclipse On/Off can be removed from the rail by sliding it backwards [SEE FIGURE 3.5].

As well as the integrated slide rail at the base of the Eclipse Egos grip frame, there are also two 10-32 UNF threaded screw holes which will accept all standard bottom line screws [SEE FIGURE 3.6].

Attach the air system of your choice, taking care to ensure that you use the correct length and size of hosing to accommodate your requirements.

ADJUSTING

THE BBSS OPERATION

The BBSS is able to switch itself off in the event that a blockage or contamination prevents it from functioning correctly. In this instance, the BBSS will switch itself back on once the blockage is cleared and the correct operation can be resumed.

The BBSS icon on the main screen is used to indicate the six possible states of the BBSS as follows:

The BBSS is enabled and a ball is detected. The Ego can be red at the maximum rate of re determined by the chosen ring mode.

The BBSS is enabled and no ball is detected. The Ego cannot be red.

The BBSS is disabled. The Ego can be red at a maximum rate of re as set by the OFF ROF parameter ( see page 32 ).

A BBSS fault has been detected and the system is disabled. The Ego can only be red at a maximum rate of re of 10bps, regardless of the chosen ring mode.

A BBSS sensor fault has been cleared and the sensor has been re-enabled. A ball is detected and the Ego can be red at the maximum rate of re determined by the chosen ring mode.

A BBSS fault has been cleared and the sensor is enabled. No ball is detected so the Ego cannot be red. To reset the BBSS icon, use the button to switch off the BBSS and then back on again.

YOUR VELOCITY

When using your Eclipse Ego, you may wish to change the velocity at which your Eclipse Ego is ring. This is done by inserting a 1/8th" hex key into the adjuster screw at the bottom of your Eclipse Ego Inline regulator and adjusting it accordingly (SEE FIGURE 3.10). By turning this adjuster screw clockwise you decrease the output pressure of the inline regulator and consequently the velocity, by turning the adjuster screw counter clockwise you increase the output pressure of the inline regulator and consequently the velocity.

NOTE: AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT FIRE TWO CLEARING SHOTS TO GAIN AN ACCURATE VELOCITY READING. NEVER EXCEED 300FPS.

YOUR LPR PRESSURE

When using your Eclipse Ego, you may wish to change the output pressure of your LPR. This is easily done by inserting a 5/32nd" inch hex key into the adjuster screw at the front and adjusting it accordingly (SEE FIGURE 3.11).

By turning the adjuster screw clockwise, you decrease the output pressure of your LPR and consequently reduce the pressure driving your rammer back and forth. By turning the adjuster screw counter clockwise, you increase the output pressure of your LPR and consequently increase the pressure driving your rammer back and forth.

NOTE: TURNING THE ADJUSTER SCREW OUT TOO FAR WILL CAUSE IT TO FALL OUT.

SETTING THE TRIGGER

There are four adjustment points on the trigger – the FRONT STOP TRIGGER

SCREW, the REAR STOP TRIGGER SCREW, the MAGNET RETURN STRENGTH SCREW and

the SPRING TENSION SCREW.

As standard each Eclipse Ego comes with a factory set trigger travel of approximately 2mm in total length; one millimeter of travel before the ring point and one millimeter of travel after the ring point.

The FRONT STOP TRIGGER SCREW is used to set the amount of trigger travel prior to the marker ring. Turn this screw clockwise to reduce the amount of travel. Do not turn the screw too far or the trigger will be pushed past the ring point and the marker will not work. Turn this screw counter clockwise to increase the amount of trigger travel [SEE

FIGURE 4.1].

The REAR STOP TRIGGER SCREW is used to set the amount of travel after the marker has red. Turn this screw clockwise to reduce the amount of travel. Do not turn the screw too far or the trigger will be prevented from reaching its ring point and the marker will not work. Turn this screw counter clockwise to increase the amount of travel [SEE FIGURE 4.2].

The MAGNET RETURN STRENGTH SCREW is used to adjust the amount of force with which the trigger is returned to its rest position by the magnet. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the amount of force. Do not turn the screw too far or it will negate the position of the Front Stop Trigger Screw. Turn the screw counter clockwise to reduce the amount of force. Do not turn the screw too far or there will not be enough force to return the trigger [SEE FIGURE 4.3].

The SPRING TENSION SCREW is used to adjust the amount of spring tension behind the trigger when it is pulled. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the amount of spring tension. Turn the screw counter clockwise to reduce the amount of spring tension [See FIGURE 4.4].

Once you have set the trigger to your preference, refer to setting the BAND HI and BAND LO (SEE PAGE 37), as it is very important that the BAND HI, BAND LO and trigger pull are set up together for the trigger ltering to work correctly.

SENSOR SYSTEM

During the ring cycle, the breech sensor looks rst for an empty breech and then for a paintball within the breech. Only when the sensor has detected both conditions will it allow the Eclipse Ego to be red. The sensor software lter allows you to ne tune the operation of the Break-Beam Sensor System by allowing you to specify how long the sensors have to see an 'empty' breech for and how long they have to see a ball for.

USING THE FILTERING SYSTEMS

The Eclipse Ego incorporates two different ltering systems to allow the maximum amount of ne tuning when setting up your marker. Both the

INTELLIGENT DEBOUNCE FILTER (ID FILTER) and the TRIGGER TRANSITION FILTER (TT FILTER) are fully adjustable and can be used to completely eliminate bounce.

The ID FILTER is intended to be used independently of the TT FILTER, with the user having the option to turn the TT FILTER on or off as and when it is required.

Both the ID FILTER and the TT FILTER work by analyzing each trigger pull and determining whether or not that trigger pull is a legitimate pull of the trigger by the user, or one that has been caused by the gun bouncing, in which case the algorithm will take steps to stop that bounce by varying the cycle time of the marker.

There are ve adjustable parameters associated with the ID FILTER:

DEBOUNCE

This parameter is used to choose from 5 groups of standard lter settings for your Ego and is also used to turn the TT FILTER on or off. The higher the Debounce value, the less the marker is able to bounce.

TPUL

This parameter denes the amount of time that the trigger must be pulled for in order to register a valid trigger pull. The greater the TPUL value, the less the marker is able to bounce.

TREL

This parameter denes the amount of time that the trigger must be released for in order to register a valid trigger release. The greater the TREL value, the less the marker is able to bounce.

BAND HI

This parameter denes the point in the triggers movement at which the ID

FILTER begins to register a trigger pull. The greater the BAND HI value, the less

the marker is able to bounce.

BAND LO

This parameter denes the point in the triggers movement at which the ID

FILTER begins to register a trigger release. The lower the BAND LO value, the less

the marker is able to bounce.

There is one adjustable parameter associated with the TT FILTER:

TT TOLERANCE

This parameter works in conjunction with BAND HI and BAND LO and denes how strictly the TT Filter applies its anti-bounce algorithm. The lower this value is, the less the marker will be able to bounce

SETTING THE DEBOUNCE LEVEL

This parameter is used to set the level of DEBOUNCE (anti-bounce) on your Ego. It can also be used to turn the TT Filter on or off. Selecting the TT option from the available parameters turns the TT Filter on, whilst selecting DEBOUNCE 1-5 turns the TT Filter off.

Scroll through the Filter menu until the DEBOUNCE parameter is displayed.

The current value of the DEBOUNCE setting is shown on the right hand side of the display see below.

QUICKGUIDE

BASIC TRIGGER FILTER SET UP

95% of trigger bounce problems can be eliminated by utilizing one of the ve xed debounce parameters (Debounce 1-5). In attempting to eliminate trigger bounce it is advisable to try the ve xed debounce parameters before attempting any advanced set up of the trigger lters.

ADVANCED TRIGGER FILTER SET UP

In order to optimize the ID FILTER it is necessary to have the BAND HI parameter set as high as possible and the BAND LO parameter set as low as possible:

1. Select the BAND HI parameter. Observe that the graphical bar rises and falls as the trigger is pulled and released. The actual value of the graphical bar is displayed in the top right of the display.

2. Set the REAR STOP TRIGGER SCREW as required, ensuring that the bar is as close to 100% as possible when the trigger is fully depressed against the set screw. It is advisable to allow for some extra travel in the trigger pull once the bar has reached its maximum value.

3. Adjust the BAND HI parameter so that when the trigger is fully depressed the bar settles above the indicator on the left hand side of the screen

[SEE PAGE 36].

4. Select the BAND LO parameter. Observe that the graphical bar rises and falls as the trigger is pulled and released. The actual value of the graphical bar is displayed in the top right of the display.

5. Set the FRONT STOP TRIGGER SCREW as required, ensuring that the bar is as close to 0% as possible when the trigger is fully released against the set screw. It is advisable to allow for some extra travel in the trigger release once the bar has reached its minimum value.

6. Adjust the BAND LO parameter so that when the trigger is fully released the bar settles beneath the indicator on the left hand side of the screen

[SEE PAGE 37].

7. Set the MAGNET RETURN STRENGTH SCREW and the SPRING TENSION SCREW as required, making both the spring tension and the return force as strong as possible without compromising the “feel” of the trigger.

Optional (only if TT had been selected in Debounce parameter):

8. Select the TT TOL parameter. With the gun gassed up and preferably tted with loader and ring paint, try to get the marker to bounce by pulling the trigger very slowly. If the marker bounces, then reduce the TT TOL value until it no longer does so. If the marker does not bounce then increase the TT TOL value until it starts to bounce and then reduce it again until the bouncing stops.

Whilst this set up process should completely eliminate bounce, it may result in a trigger pull that is not ideally suited to the user, in which case it will be necessary to make adjustments to the trigger and then modify the ID FILTER parameters accordingly.

NOTE: THE FASTEST WAY TO SHOOT AN ECLIPSE EGO IS TO WALK THE TRIGGER WITH TWO OR MORE FINGERS. FEATHERING (NOT FULLY RELEASING) THE TRIGGER WILL CAUSE THE FILTERING SYSTEM TO REDUCE THE RATE OF FIRE DOWN IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE WHAT IT PERCEIVES AS TRIGGER BOUNCE.

USING THE RESET PARAMETER

The RESET parameter gives the user a simple way of resetting their Eclipse Ego to the factory default settings; without having to individually go through and adjust each parameter.

Scroll through the Set-up Menu until the RESET parameter is displayed and then press the button to enter the RESET parameter see below.

With the Eclipse Ego upside down and facing forward, tilt the solenoid and minifold to the left freeing the right hand side of the minifold allowing both the minifold and solenoid to be freed from the Eclipse Ego body (SEE FIGURE 6.46).

Slide the rammer assembly out of the rear of the Eclipse Ego, remembering to remove the valve and valve spring (SEE FIGURE 6.47).

Remove the exhaust valve and valve spring from the rammer assembly, and inspect the sealing face of both the rammer assembly body and exhaust valve for any excessive wear or damage (SEE FIGURE 6.48). If the exhaust valve or brass bushed valve guide is damaged then replace using authentic Eclipse Ego parts.

FIG 6.45

Taking the Eclipse Ego body, turn it so that

the underside of the front regulator mount

(FRM) is visible, exposing the retaining

screw (SEE FIGURE 6.49). Using a 3/16th"

hex key remove the FRM retaining

screw and remove the FRM from the

Eclipse Ego body (SEE FIGURE 6.50).

Once the FRM has been removed

the LPR body is exposed through the

bottom of the Eclipse Ego body. Slide

the complete LPR out of the Eclipse

Ego body (SEE FIGURE 6.51).

You have now stripped down your Eclipse Ego.

QUICKGUIDE

Having stripped down the Eclipse Ego, here is a guide of how best to re-assemble it.

Clean and lubricate the seal at the back of the LPR body (SEE FIGURE 6.52). Slide the entire LPR back into the Eclipse Ego body, so that the bottom of the LPR body lines up with the FRM window in the bottom of the Eclipse Ego body

(SEE FIGURE 6.53).

Insert the FRM, ensuring that all of the seals are in the correct place and that the FRM lines up with the bottom of the LPR body (SEE FIGURE 6.54). Using the 3/16th” hex key tighten down the FRM retaining screw to secure both the FRM and LPR in place.

Lubricate the two seals at the front of the rammer assembly (SEE FIGURE 6.55) and lubricate the exhaust valve shaft before inserting exhaust valve into the brass bushed valve guide (SEE FIGURE 6.56).

FIG 6.54

FIG 6.55

Remembering to include the valve spring, begin to insert the rammer assembly into the Eclipse Ego body, taking care not to damage any of the low-pressure hosing. Line the rammer assembly up so that the minifold can slide into the groove in the bottom of the Eclipse Ego body (SEE FIGURE 6.57).

By applying slight pressure to the back of the rammer assembly (SEE FIGURE

6.58), hold the rammer in place against the exhaust valve spring tension, so

that the valve plug can be replaced (SEE FIGURE 6.59).

NOTE: DO-NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE VALVE PLUG SCREW.

Line the low-pressure hose up neatly in the groove provided in the Eclipse Ego body, so that it doesn’t get in the way when re-attaching the grip frame

(SEE FIGURE 6.60) and attach low-pressure hosing to the barb at the back of the FRM (SEE FIGURE 6.61).

Replace the frame tag, and using a 1/8th" hex key secure the frame tag in place (SEE FIGURE 6.62).

NOTE: DO-NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE FRAME TAG SCREW.

QUICKGUIDE

Carefully thread the solenoid and Break-Beam Sensor leads through the access hole in the top of the grip frame (SEE FIGURE 6.63), and reattach the grip frame to the marker, tightening the grip frame screws using a 1/8th” hex key (SEE FIGURE 6.64).

Ensure that the Break-Beam Sensor cables lie neatly in the slots provided for them in the Eclipse Ego grip frame (SEE FIGURE 6.65). Connect the solenoid and the Break-Beam Sensors into their relevant places on the Eclipse Ego PCB

(SEE FIGURE 6.66) and re-attach the Eclipse Ego grips by securing the six grip

screws using a 5/64th" hex key (SEE FIGURE 6.67).

Screw the inline regulator back into the FRM (SEE FIGURE 6.68) and connect any hosing that was disconnected (SEE FIGURE 6.69). Replace bolt and locate bolt pin in the designated groove in the rammer.

You have now assembled your Eclipse Ego.

NOTE: CHECK THAT NO WIRES ARE TRAPPED BEFORE TIGHTENING DOWN THE FRAME SCREWS.

CLEANING THE SOLENOID

Remove the three rubber grip screws from the right hand side of your grip frame and unplug the solenoid and BBSS from the PCB. Remove the two frame screws allowing you to remove your frame, Inline regulator and hosing set-ups from your Ego so that you are left with the solenoid exposed (SEE

FIGURE 6.71).

Using a small Philips head screw driver, undo the two solenoid retaining screws (SEE FIGURE 6.72 ) and remove the solenoid from the minifold taking care not to loose the 3 small o-rings from the face of the minifold.

With the solenoid detached from the minifold, use a small at instrument to gently lever the two solenoid retainer clips off the solenoid (SEE FIGURE 6.73). This will allow you to split the solenoid into two and access the spool valve.

Using a pair of needle-nose pliers remove the spool from the front section of the solenoid (SEE FIGURE 6.74). Note that it is the at side of the spool valve facing you when you remove the spool valve. It may be necessary to also remove the front cap of the solenoid to push the spool out, if it cannot be pulled out with the needle nose pliers.

FIG 6.71

FIG 6.72

FIG 6.73

Thoroughly clean and inspect the spool and its O-rings for any debris or dirt

(SEE FIGURE 6.75). Lubricate the o-rings using Dow 33 or similar lubricant and

re-insert the spool into the solenoid body.

FIGURE 6.76 and FIGURE 6.77 show the difference between the at end of the

spool and the raised end of the spool.

Replace the two solenoid retaining clips to the sides of the solenoid body and having ensured that the minifold o-rings are in place; screw the solenoid back into the correct position on the minifold. For reference, the end of the solenoid with the wire attached should be towards the rear of the marker.

Replace the Inline regulator, grip frame and hosing set-up, taking care to feed the solenoid and BBSS leads through the grip frame correctly so that they do not get caught or damaged. Having screwed ini the three rubber grip screws to nish the process.

You have now stripped and cleaned your Ego solenoid.
