ECLIPSE SHAFT 3 BARREL
NOTE: THE BORE SIZE OF YOUR SHAFT 3 MAY VARY
ACCORDING TO THE MODEL OF EGO10 YOU HAVE.
Your Eclipse Ego10 comes as standard with an Eclipse Shaft 3 barrel.
The barrel screws into the body of the Ego10 using a
meaning that if you hold the Ego10 pointing away from you the barrel
screws into the body in a counter-clockwise direction.
The barrel comprises of two parts, a barrel back and a barrel front .
The two parts are joined together with a left hand thread meaning that
if you hold the barrel, with the back nearest you, the front unscrews in a
counter-clockwise direction. The bore size of the barrel back is engraved
at the end of the barrel back .
On the barrel back there is a 016 NBR 70 o-ring which prevents the
barrel from vibrating loose from the Ego10 body when the marker is
red. There is also a 015 NBR 70 o-ring on the barrel front helps with
alignment when the two sections are screwed together.
Replace and lubricate these o-rings with Eclipse Grease as necessary.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
Below is a brief overview of what happens during
the Ego10 ring cycle. The location of parts
discussed in the text below can be found on page
74-75.
Assuming the Ego10 is gassed up and turned on,
FIGURE 1.1 shows the marker in its idle position. The
rammer is held in its rear position with pressurised
air from the LPR directed through the solenoid to
the front of the rammer. The valve chamber is full of
pressurised air from the inline regulator.
Providing a ball is in the breach, when the trigger
is pulled, a signal is sent to the solenoid which
redirects the supply of air from the front of the
rammer to the rear, which pushes the rammer and
bolt forward toward the valve FIGURE 1.2. As this
happens the air in front of the rammer is vented out
through an exhaust port in the solenoid manifold.
The rammer makes contact with the valve stem
and continues to be pushed forward, now pushing
the valve forward with it. This breaks the valve seal
allowing pressurised air to ow up through the
valve and into the bolt and vent down the barrel,
propelling a ball. FIGURE 1.3
The time that the rammer is held in this forward
position is dependant on the
The longer the dwell time the longer the Ego10
vents gas down the barrel. When this dwell time
has elapsed, the solenoid redirects the supply of air
from the back of the rammer to the front, pushing
the rammer and bolt back to the rear position. This
loss of forward force allows the valve to re-seal and
the valve chamber is re-pressurised. As the rammer
moves back air behind it is vented through an
exhaust port in the solenoid manifold FIGURE 1.4.
The Ego10 has now completed one cycle and is
ready to re again.

QUICK SET-UP
INSTALLING A 9V BATTERY
Ensure that the Ego10 is switched o. 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” (2mm) hex wrench to remove the three
countersunk screws that hold the rubber grip onto the
frame. Peel the grip to the right to expose the circuit board
within the frame.
Remove any tted battery by sliding your thumb or nger
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 front side of the frame SEE FIGURE 2.2.
Ensure that all of the wires are within the recess of the
frame and away from the trigger micro-switch and Opto
sensors so as not to interfere with their operation and
replace the rubber grip and replace the three countersunk
screws.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

enabling any user to easily achieve high rates of re.
THE EGO10 CIRCUIT
BOARD
There are three sockets on the Ego10 circuit board two
of which are occupied by the BBSS connector (A) and
the Ego10 solenoid connector (B). The third socket on
the board (C) is the auxiliary socket to which third party
products such as loaders and RF transmitters can be
connected using the relevant wiring harness SEE FIGURE
3.2.

FIG 3.2
USING THE BREAK BEAM
SENSOR SYSTEM
The break beam sensor system, referred elsewhere in this
manual as ‘BBSS’ is used to detect when a paintball is ready
to re from the Ego10. If no paintball is ready then the
BBSS will inhibit the Ego10 from ring. This prevents the
Ego10 from ‘chopping’ paintballs that are not fully loaded
into the marker.
To switch o the BBSS, press and hold the button for 0.5
seconds SEE FIGURE 3.3.
The BBSS indicator on the top right of the LCD will change
from (enabled) to (disabled).
To switch the BBSS back on, press and hold the button
for 0.5 second. The indicator will change back to .
When the BBSS is enabled, the indicator will change
depending on if the system has detected a ball or not.
When no ball has been detected the indicator looks like
this when a ball has been detected the icon changes to
look like this .
Additional features of the Ego10’s break beam sensor
system are covered in full on page 26 of this user manual.

SETTING UP YOUR EGO10
Before you can begin to use your Ego10, you will need to
attach an air system and a paintball loader.
INSTALLING A PRESET AIR
SYSTEM
Every Ego10 comes complete with an Eclipse On/O
Purge System (OOPS) which provides a direct connection
for a preset air system. Before screwing the air system
into the OOPS ensure that the On/O knob is wound out
approximately half way SEE FIGURE 4.1. Be careful not to
unscrew the On/O knob too far as it will come completely
o the OOPS. If this happens, replace the On/O knob
by screwing it back onto the OOPS body in a clockwise
direction.
Screw the preset air system into the OOPS SEE FIGURE
4.2
so that the bottle screws in all the way and is tight.
Slowly turn the On/O knob in a clockwise direction
allowing the OOPS to depress the pin of the preset
air system causing the Ego10 to become pressurised,
providing that there is sucient air in your tank SEE
FIGURE 4.3.
You have now installed a preset air system onto your
Ego10.

TSLOT MOUNTING
WARNING
SYSTEM
The Ego10 utilises a T-slot arrangement to mount the OOPS
to the bottom of the frame. The T-slot is an improvement
over the dovetail mounting system found on most
paintball markers, and is much more able to withstand the
rigours of modern tournament paintball.
For backwards compatibility there are industry standard
mounting holes in the base of the frame for mounting third
party air source adaptors (ASAs).
TSLOT
MOUNT
MACROLINE HOSING AND
ELBOWS
To aid the longevity of your macroline hosing, it is very
important to remove it from (and install it back into) the
ttings in the correct manner:
Pull back the collet section of the macroline tting and
keep the collet depressed.
Pull the macroline hose out of the macroline tting and
release the collet.
Before installing the macroline hose into the macroline
tting ensure that the end has been trimmed correctly to
ensure a tight t in the tting.

return strength screw,
and the spring return strength screw.
As standard each Ego10 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, and the trigger detection method set
to Opto.
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 6.1
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
6.2
.
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 6.3.

The micro switch activation screw is used to adjust the
point in the trigger pull at which the micro-switch is
activated. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the
amount of trigger travel to the activation point. Turn the
screw counter clockwise to increase the amount of trigger
travel to the activation point SEE FIGURE 6.4.
The spring return strength screw can only be adjusted by
rst removing the frame from the marker body, as per the
instructions in the Maintenance section on page 57. The
spring return strength screw is used to adjust the spring
strength that returns the trigger to its resting position.
Turn the screw clockwise to increase the amount of spring
return strength in the trigger pull. Turn this screw counter
clockwise to reduce the amount of spring return strength
in the trigger pull. Do not turn the screw too far counter
clockwise or there will not be enough force to return the
trigger consistently SEE FIGURE 6.5.
When setting the trigger it is important to ensure that the
electronic trigger detection is working correctly. When the
trigger is fully depressed the trigger detection indicator
(TDI) should point upwards .
When the trigger is fully released the TDI should point
downwards .
For more information, see understanding the trigger
detection indicator (TDI) on page 27 and The FILTER menu
on page 40.

ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY
When using your Ego10, you may wish to change the
velocity at which your Ego10 is ring. This is done by
inserting a 1/8" hex key into the adjuster screw at the
bottom of your Ego10 inline regulator and adjusting it
accordingly SEE FIGURE 7.1. 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. On the bottom of the inline regulator there are
engraved arrows to illustrate which direction to turn the
hex key to make the relevant adjustment.
NOTE: AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT FIRE TWO CLEARING
SHOTS TO GAIN AN ACCURATE VELOCITY READING. NEVER
EXCEED 300FPS.

ADJUSTING THE LPR
PRESSURE
When using your Ego10, you may wish to change the
output pressure of your LPR. This is easily done by inserting
a 1/8" inch hex key into the adjuster screw at the front
and adjusting it accordingly SEE FIGUR E 7.2. However
we recommend that the LPR screw be left set 2 turns in
(clockwise) from the screw being ush with the front of the
LPR cap.
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 IN TOO FAR WILL
PREVENT THE EGO10 FROM FIRING.

USER INTERFACE
The Ego10 has a simple user interface through which all
aspects of it’s electronic control system can be monitored
and adjusted by means of the three pushbuttons and
graphical LCD which comprise the navigation console.
RUN SCREEN LAYOUT
The root of the user interface is the run screen. This screen
is the one most often displayed and provides the user with
essential feedback on the state of the Ego10. A typical run
screen is shown on the right.
