NOTE: THE BORE SIZE OF YOUR SHAFT 3 MAY VARY

ACCORDING TO THE MODEL OF GEO YOU HAVE.

Your Eclipse Geo comes as standard with a Eclipse Shaft 3 barrel.

The barrel screws into the body of the Ge meaning that if you hold the Geo 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 w 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 NBR70 o-ring which prevents the barrel from vibrating loose from the Geo body when the marker is ﬁred. There is also an o-ring on the barrel front (#015 NBR70) helps with alignment between the barrel back and front.

Replace these o-rings as necessary.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Below is a brief overview of what happens when you ﬁre your Geo. The location of parts discussed in the text below can be found on page 78-79.

Assuming the Geo is gassed up and turned on

FIGURE 1.1 shows the marker in its idle position.

The Firing Chamber is full of compressed air whilst the Bolt is held back by the air in the Can. Both the Firing Chamber and the Can are supplied with air via the Solenoid Valve.

Providing a ball is in the breach and the Trigger is pulled, a signal is sent to the Solenoid which stops the supply of air to the Firing Chamber and allows the air in the Can to be exhausted. This removes the force holding the Bolt in its rear position and the bolt is propelled forwards

(FIGURE 1.2).

As the Bolt passes the Front Prop Shaft O-ring the Firing Chamber seal is broken and the air in the Firing Chamber vents down the Bolt, in turn propelling a ball. (FIGURE 1.3)

The length of time the Bolt remains in this forward position venting air from the Firing Chamber is dependant on Dwell. When the Solenoid has completed its Dwell time, air is routed back into the Can and pushes the Bolt back towards its rear position resealing the ﬁring chamber. As the Firing Chamber is resealed it is re-ﬁlled through the Solenoid Valve to the operating pressure set by the user via the Inline Regulator (FIGURE 1.4).

The Geo has now completed one cycle and is ready to ﬁre again.

INSTALLING A 9V BATTERY

Ensure that the Geo is switched off. Lay the marker on a ﬂat 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 ﬁtted battery by sliding your thumb or ﬁnger 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 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 OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

NOTE: BATTERY VOLTAGE MUST NOT EXCEED 10 VOLTS.

SOME 9 VOLT RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES CAN EXCEED THIS VOLTAGE IF OVER CHARGED. IF IN DOUBT DO NOT USE

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.

SWITCHING ON THE GEO

SWITCHING OFF THE GEO

Press and hold the button until the display shows

OFF? Release the button and re-press it to turn off

the Geo. Alternatively when the display reads OFF?, you can pull the trigger once to turn off the Geo.

FIRING THE GEO

Pull the trigger to ﬁre the Geo. The entire ﬁring sequence is controlled electronically by the Geo circuit board, enabling any user to easily achieve high rates of ﬁre.

THE GEO CIRCUIT BOARD

There are three sockets on the Geo Circuit board two of which are occupied by the BBSS Connector (A) and the Geo Solenoid (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).

NOTE: WHEN THE GEO IS TURNED ON, THE AUXILIARY SOCKET IS AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHED ON AND CANNOT BE

SWITCHED OFF

FIG 3.1

USING THE BREAK BEAM SENSOR SYSTEM

The Break Beam Sensor System is used to detect when a paintball is ready to ﬁre from the Geo. If no paintball is ready then the BBSS will inhibit the Geo from ﬁring. This prevents the Geo from ‘chopping’ paintballs that are not fully loaded into the marker.

To switch off the Break Beam Sensor System, press and hold the button for 0.5 second (SEE FIGURE 3.3).

The break beam sensor system indicator on the top right of the LCD will change from (enabled) to (disabled).

To switch the Break Beam Sensor System back on, press and hold the button for one second. The indicator will change back to .

When the Break Beam Sensor System 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 Geo’s Break Beam Sensor System are covered in full on page 24 of this user

manual.

SETTING UP

Before you can begin to use your Geo, you will need to attach an air-system and a paintball loader.

NOTE: THE GEO CANNOT BE USED WITH CO2, IT CAN ONLY

BE POWERED BY COMPRESSED AIR OR NITROGEN.

INSTALLING A PRESET AIR SYSTEM

Every Geo comes complete with an Eclipse On/Off 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/Off knob is wound out approximately half way (SEE FIGURE 4.1).

Be careful not to unscrew the On/Off knob too far as it will come completely off the OOPS. If this happens, replace the On/Off 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/Off knob in a clockwise direction allowing the OOPS to depress the pin of the preset air system causing the Geo to become pressurised, providing that there is sufﬁcient air in your tank (SEE

FIGURE 4.3).

You have now installed a preset air system onto your Geo.

WARNING: ALWAYS RELIEVE ALL RESIDUAL GAS

PRESSURE FROM THE GEO BEFORE UNSCREWING THE

PRESET AIR SYSTEM.

FIG 4.1

FIG 4.2

FIG 4.3

T-SLOT MOUNTING SYSTEM

The Geo 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).

T-SLOT 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 ﬁttings in the correct manner:

Pull back the collet section of the macroline ﬁtting and keep the collet depressed.

Pull the macroline hose out of the macroline ﬁtting and release the collet.

Before installing the macroline hose into the macroline ﬁtting ensure that the end has been trimmed correctly to ensure a tight ﬁt in the ﬁtting.

WARNING: IF YOU EVER REMOVE THE MACROLINE

HOSE FROM THE FITTING, ALWAYS CHECK THE CONDITION

OF YOUR MACROLINE HOSING AND IF IT IS WORN OR THE

WRONG LENGTH REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY.

INSTALLING AN ADJUSTABLE AIR SYSTEM

Firstly disconnect the macroline hosing from the elbow attached to the OOPS at the base of the grip frame

(SEE FIGURE 4.4).

Using a 3/32” hex key turn the two screws on the bottom of the OOPS in a counter clockwise direction so that the OOPS can be removed from the rail by sliding it backwards (SEE FIGURE 4.5).

As well as the integrated slide rail at the base of the Geo’s grip frame, there are also two 10-32 UNF threaded screw holes which will accept all standard bottom line screws (SEE FIGURE 4.6).

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.

WARNING: BEFORE ATTACHING ANY FIXED AIR SYSTEM,

PLACE ATTACHING SCREW IN DESIGNATED SLIDE RAIL AND MEASURE PROTRUDING SCREW LENGTH. SCREW

LENGTH MUST NOT PROTRUDE MORE THAN 10MM/0.40”

OTHERWISE THE GEO CIRCUIT BOARD WILL BECOME

DAMAGED.

FIG 4.4

FIG 4.5

ATTACHING A LOADER

Using a 5/32” hex key, turn the top screw of the clamping feed neck counter clockwise (SEE FIGURE 5.1).

Release the clamping lever on the feed neck (SEE

FIGURE 5.2) and test to see if your loader can easily

be pushed into the top of the feed neck. If the loader cannot easily be pushed into the feed neck, loosen the top screw of the clamping feed neck a little more by turning it counter clockwise using a 5/32” hex key (SEE

FIGURE 5.1).

When you have managed to push your loader into the clamping feed neck, close the clamp to secure it ﬁrmly in place (SEE FIGURE 5.3). If the loader is loose then you will need to release the clamp, tighten the screw slightly by turning it clockwise with a 5/32” hex key and closing the clamp. Repeat this process as necessary to secure your loader in place.

You have now attached a loader to your Geo. Once you have ﬁlled your loader and air tank you will then be ready to begin using your Geo.

WARNING: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE CLAMPING FEED

NECK AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE LOADER.

QUICK GUIDE

SETTING THE TRIGGER

The Geo provides the user with the option to use either a Micro- Switch or an Opto Sensor as the means for detecting trigger pulls. Before you begin to adjust and set your trigger, you must ﬁrst select the method of trigger detection that you wish to use by entering the Set-Up Menu and making your selection from the Hardware Menu (see page 52).

There are ﬁve adjustment points on the trigger – the

Front Stop Trigger Screw, the Rear Stop Trigger Screw, the Magnet Return Strength Screw, the Micro Switch Activation Screw and the Spring Return Strength Screw.

As standard each Geo comes with a factory set trigger travel of approximately 2mm in total length; one millimeter of travel before the ﬁring point and one millimeter of travel after the ﬁring 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 ﬁring. 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 ﬁring 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 ﬁred. 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 ﬁring 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).

FIG 6.1

FIG 6.2

FIG 6.3

(CONTINUED)

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 ﬁrst removing the frame from the marker body, as per the instructions in the Maintenance section on page 61. 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 25 and The Filter Menu on page 46.

ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY

When using your Geo, you may wish to change the velocity at which your Geo is ﬁring. This is done by inserting a 1/8" hex key into the adjuster screw at the bottom of your Geo 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.

NOTE: AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT FIRE TWO CLEARING

SHOTS TO GAIN AN ACCURATE VELOCITY READING.

NEVER EXCEED 300FPS.

ADJUSTING THE FIRING CHAMBER VOLUME

When using your Geo you may wish to change the volume of your Firing Chamber using the Prop Shaft Adjuster Screw located in the rear of the Prop Shaft (SEE

FIGURE 7.2).

This is easily done by inserting a 1/8” hex key into the Prop Shaft Adjuster Screw and adjusting it accordingly.

By turning the Prop Shaft Adjuster Screw clockwise you decrease the volume of the Firing Chamber and consequently you will need to increase the output pressure from your Inline Regulator to achieve velocities similar to the ones you had prior to adjusting the Prop Shaft Adjuster Screw. By turning the Prop Shaft Adjuster Screw counter clockwise you increase the volume of the Firing Chamber and consequently you will need to decrease the output pressure from your Inline Regulator to achieve velocities similar to the ones you had prior to adjusting the Prop Shaft Adjuster Screw.

NOTE: AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT FIRE TWO CLEARING

SHOTS TO GAIN AN ACCURATE VELOCITY READING.

NEVER EXCEED 300FPS.

FIG 7.1

FIG 7.2

USER INTERFACE

The Geo 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.

SWITCHING ON

To switch on the Geo press the button twice in quick succession, referred to elsewhere in this manual as ‘double-clicking’. The Geo can also be switched on by pushing and holding the button. The LCD will display startup information including model number and software version before displaying the Run Screen. To skip the startup information simply press the button.

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 Geo. A typical Run Screen is shown on the right. On the left of the screen is a display option that is user selectable from the Main Menu (see page 33). This option can be:-

> A GAME TIMER > A SHOT COUNTER

> AN AVERAGE RATE OF FIRE > A PEAK RATE OF FIRE

Brieﬂy pressing the button will replace the display option with the name of the currently selected Preset (see page 37), or CUSTOM if a parameter of the selected preset mode has been edited.

On the right of the screen are up to ﬁve icons, each of which provides graphical indication on different parts of the Geo control electronics.

QUICK GUIDE

UNDERSTANDING THE BBSS INDICATOR (BBSS)

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 Indicator on the main screen is used to indicate the eight possible states of the BBSS as follows:

BBSS ENABLED AND BALL DETECTED

The Geo can be ﬁred at the maximum rate of ﬁre determined by the chosen ﬁring mode.

BBSS ENABLED NO BALL DETECTED

The Geo cannot be ﬁred.

BBSS DISABLED

The Geo can be ﬁred at a maximum rate of ﬁre as set by the OFF ROF parameter (see page 40)

BBSS FAULT DETECTED

The system is disabled. The Geo can only be ﬁred at a maximum rate of ﬁre of 10bps, regardless of the chosen ﬁring mode.

BBSS SENSOR FAULT HAS BEEN CLEARED

The sensor has been re-enabled. A ball is detected and the Geo can be ﬁred at the maximum rate of ﬁre determined by the chosen ﬁring mode.

BBSS FAULT HAS BEEN CLEARED

The sensor is enabled. No ball is detected so the Geo cannot be ﬁred. To reset the BBSS icon, use the button to switch off the BBSS and then back on again.

BBSS ENABLED IN TRAINING MODE The BBSS has been over-ridden as the user has selected training mode. As the user has chosen to leave the BBSS on, the achievable rate of ﬁre is limited by the ﬁring mode.

BBSS DISABLED IN TRAINING MODE The BBSS has been over-ridden as the user has selected training mode. As the user has chosen to turn the BBSS off, the achievable rate of ﬁre is limited by the OFF ROF parameter (see page 40).

UNDERSTANDING THE SOUND INDICATOR

The SOUND Indicator on the main screen is used to convey if the SOUND parameter in the Hardware menu (page 52) is switched on or off.

There are two possible conditions that can be indicated:

SOUND ENABLED

The SOUND parameter is enabled. The Geo will make sounds when switched on and off and when the game timer alarms or times out.

SOUND DISABLED

The SOUND parameter is disabled. The Geo will not make any sounds.

UNDERSTANDING THE TRIGGER DETECTION INDICATOR (TDI)

In order for the trigger to be successfully operated it must ﬁrst be released and then pulled. The Trigger Detection Indicator (TDI) is used to indicate each of the possible trigger states.

OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING 0% The Geo is conﬁgured to use the opto sensor to detect trigger pulls. The opto sensor is currently reading 0%, i.e. the trigger is fully released.

OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING BELOW RELEASE POINT

The Geo is conﬁgured to use the opto sensor to detect trigger pulls. The opto sensor is currently reading below the Opto Release Point, i.e. the trigger is considered ‘released’.

OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING MIDRANGE

The Geo is conﬁgured to use the opto sensor to detect trigger pulls. The opto sensor is currently reading somewhere between the Opto Release Point and the Opto Pull Point, i.e. the trigger is half depressed.

OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING ABOVE PULL POINT

The Geo is conﬁgured to use the opto sensor to detect trigger pulls. The opto sensor is currently reading above the Opto Pull Point, i.e. the trigger is considered ‘pulled’.

OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING 100% The Geo is conﬁgured to use the opto sensor to detect trigger pulls. The opto sensor is currently reading 100%, i.e. the trigger is fully depressed.

MICRO-SWITCH SELECTED, NOT ACTUATED

The Geo is conﬁgured to use the microswitch to detect trigger pulls. The microswitch is not currently actuated, i.e. the trigger is released.

QUICK GUIDE

UNDERSTANDING THE LOCK INDICATOR

The Geo has a tournament lock which prevents the user from making changes to any parameter that affects the way in which the Geo shoots, without the need for tools. This feature is necessary in order to make the Geo legal for tournament play.

When the lock is enabled the lock indictor will show a closed padlock .

When the lock is disabled the lock indictor will show an open padlock .

UNDERSTANDING THE BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR

The battery level indicator is used to show the state of the battery within the Geo. When the battery is fresh the indicator will show a ‘full’ battery and as the battery is drained, so the indicator will show the battery emptying. When the battery reaches a point at which the Geo will no longer function reliably, the indicator will start to ﬂash. At this point the battery must be changed immediately.

THE GAME TIMER

When the Game Timer is shown on the Run Screen then it can be started by pressing the button and the timer will start to count down. The Game Timer can also be conﬁgured to start on a trigger press with the

START parameter (see page 35).

When the Game Timer reaches the Gamer Timer will start to ﬂash and the audible alarm will sound every second, provided that the SOUND parameter is on.

ALARM time the

When the Game Timer reaches 00:00, GAME OVER will be displayed and the audible alarm will sound continually, provided that the SOUND parameter is set to ‘ON’.

To stop the Game Timer at any time press and hold the button for 0.5 seconds.

To reset the Game Timer to it’s preset start time, push and hold the button for 1 second. The Game Timer will also be reset whenever the Geo is switched off.

THE SHOT COUNTER

The Shot Counter increments every time that the Geo is ﬁred, regardless of whether the Shot Counter is displayed or not. When the Shot Counter is displayed on the Run Screen it can be reset to 0 by pressing and holding the button for

0.5 seconds.

THE AVERAGE RATE OF FIRE

When the Average ROF is selected for display the Run Screen will look something like the screen to the right. The value displayed in the top left of the screen represents the number of full cycles completed in the last second the average rate of ﬁre over the second. The number below it is the maximum average rate of ﬁre that has been recorded. To reset this maximum, press and hold the button for 0.5 seconds.

THE PEAK RATE OF FIRE

When the Peak ROF is selected for display the Run Screen will look something like the screen to the left, which differs from the display of the Average ROF by the inclusion of the indicator ‘PK’. The value displayed in the top left of the screen represents the rate of ﬁre measured between the last two shots. The number below it is the maximum peak rate of ﬁre that has been recorded. To reset this maximum, press and hold the button for 0.5 seconds.

The Peak ROF is typically higher than the Average ROF as it is much easier to ﬁre two shots in quick succession than it is to maintain a string over a longer period of time.

THE MENU SYSTEM

Behind the Run Screen is a structured menu system comprised of multiple levels of menus. Each menu contains a number of menu items and each menu item can either be an editable parameter or a branch to another menu. Branches always have an animated graphic whereas parameters indicate their current value.

TYPICAL BRANCH

PARAMETER

The menu structure is shown in the following pages.

The menus are ‘smart menus’ in that they will expand and contract depending upon the state of certain parameters. For example, the MAX ROF parameter is only visible when the ROF CAP parameter is set to ‘on’. Smart menu items are indicated with a * in the table below.

MAIN MENU AND SET-UP MENU ARE JOINED TOGETHER

WHICH MEANS THAT THEY CAN BE ACCESSED IN EITHER OF

THE TWO WAYS ABOVE.

MOVING AROUND THE MENUS

Press and release the button to display the next item on the menu. When the last menu item is displayed, pressing the button will display the ﬁrst item.

Press and release the button to display the previous item on the menu. When the ﬁrst menu item is displayed, pressing the button will display the last item.

When the displayed item is a branch, as indicated by an animation on the right of the screen, press the button to move to another menu.

ALTERING PARAMETERS

When the displayed item is a parameter, as indicated by a parameter value on the right of the screen, pressing the button will activate the EDIT mode which allows the parameter value to be altered. When EDIT mode is active, edit indicators appear on the left of the screen as shown in the screen below.

EDIT INDICATORS

There are two types of parameter, numeric parameters and choice parameters. A numeric parameter has a value which is a number whereas a choice parameter is one that has a small number of distinct choices. Altering parameter values is essentially the same for both types of parameter.

To alter a numeric parameter, ﬁrst activate the EDIT mode. Press the button to increase the parameter value one step at a time. Press and hold the button to increase the parameter value rapidly. When the value reaches it’s maximum it will revert to it’s minimum value. Press the button to decrease the parameter value one step at a time.

THE RAMP SETTINGS MENU

This menu is only available when ramping has been selected with the MODE parameter and comprises a list of parameters that control the way in which the Geo ramps, as shown below:

TYPE

THE RAMP TYPE PARAMETER

This parameter is used to select the ramping style and has the following choices:-

> STEP:

Step ramping will cause the Geo to shoot in

semi-automatic until a number of trigger pulls, set by

PULL NO, have been made at a minimum pull rate, set

by KICK IN. At this point the rate of ﬁre will step up to the maximum rate of ﬁre as set by MAX ROF (or the maximum loader speed if the ROF CAP parameter is set to off). Ramping is maintained as long as the user continues to pull the trigger at a required rate set by

SUSTAIN.

> LINEAR:

semi-automatic until a number of trigger pulls, set by

PULL NO, have been made at a minimum pull rate, set

by KICK IN. At this point the rate of ﬁre will equal the rate of trigger pulls increased by the percentage speciﬁed by RATE up to a maximum rate of ﬁre as set by MAX ROF, if the ROF CAP is on. Ramping is maintained as long as the user continues to pull the trigger at a required rate set by

THE RAMP START PARAMETER

The parameter sets the number of trigger pulls that are required at the KICK IN rate before ramping will start. The parameter can be set between 4 and 9 pulls in increments of 1.

KICK IN

THE RAMP KICK-IN PARAMETER

This parameter sets the minimum rate at which the user has to pull the trigger in order to start ramping. This parameter can be set between 5.0 and 15.0 pulls per second in 0.1 pulls per second increments.

SUSTAIN

THE SUSTAIN RATE PARAMETER

Once the Geo is ramping the user has to continue to pull the trigger at a minimum rate in order to maintain the ramping. This parameter sets this rate and can be between 5.0 and 15.0 pulls per second in 0.1 pulls per second increments.

RESTART

THE RAMP RESTART PARAMETER

RESTART parameter deﬁnes the amount of time

The after the last trigger pull during which the ramp can be restarted with a single trigger pull. If a trigger pull occurs after the RESTART time has expired, then the other ramp start conditions have to be met before ramping will restart. This parameter can be set between

TIMING

THE TIMING MENU

The parameters on the Timing Menu all relate to the timing of speciﬁc events.

DWELL

THE DWELL PARAMETER

DWELL parameter sets the amount

The of time that the solenoid is energized and therefore the amount of air that is released with each shot of the Geo. Setting this parameter too low will result in low velocity shots and/or excessive shot to shot velocity ﬂuctuations. Setting the parameter too high will simply waste gas and make the Geo louder.

DWELL can be set between 0.0 and

The

25.0 milliseconds. The factory default setting can normally be reduced after a few thousand shots as the Geo ‘beds-in’.

FSD COMP

THE FIRST SHOT DROP-OFF COMPENSATION PARAMETER

First shot drop off is a reduction in velocity of the ﬁrst shot ﬁred after an extended period of not ﬁring and is caused by the stiction between dynamic o-rings and the surfaces that they are in contact with. In order to compensate for FSD this parameter can be set to add extra time to the DWELL parameter for the ﬁrst shot. This parameter can be set between 0.0 and 5.0 milliseconds.

FSD DLY

THE FIRST SHOT DROP OFF DELAY PARAMETER

This parameter sets the amount of time after the last shot before the FSD COMP is used on the next shot. The ﬁrst shot after powering on the Geo will always have FSD COMP. This parameter can be set between 30 and 240 seconds in 10 second increments.

LIGHT

THE LIGHT PARAMETER

The LCD backlight is illuminated whenever any of the buttons are pressed on the Geo. The LIGHT parameter is used to set the amount of time that the backlight stays lit between 0.0 and 20.0 seconds in 0.5 second increments.

SLEEP

THE SLEEP PARAMETER

If the Geo is inactive for a period of time then it will automatically switch off in order to save power. The

SLEEP parameter is used to set that time between 5 and

60 minutes in 5 minute increments.

THE FILTER MENU

The parameters on the Filter Menu are all used to tune the Geo’s software ﬁlters which prevent the Geo from ﬁring unless all of the necessary conditions are met. The factory default settings will be suitable for most set-ups, however certain loader and trigger set-ups may require modiﬁcation of one or more of these parameters:

DBOUNCE

THE DEBOUNCE PARAMETER

The DBOUNCE parameter is used to combat any trigger bounce that might occur in the Geo and can be set between level 1 and level 9 in one level increments.

EMPTY

THE EMPTY BREECH TIME PARAMETER

In order for the BBSS to function correctly it must ﬁrst detect that the bolt is fully retracted and the breech is empty, and then detect that a paintball is loaded into the breech before the Geo is allowed to ﬁre.

Slots or holes in some third party bolts can fool the BBSS and so this parameter is used to specify a minimum time that the breech must be empty. The parameter can be set between 1.0 and 10.0ms in 0.5ms increments.

The majority of trigger bounce problems can be eliminated by utilizing one of the nine ﬁxed DBOUNCE

choices (LEVEL 1-9). In attempting to eliminate trigger bounce it is advisable to try the nine ﬁxed DBOUNCE

choices before attempting any advanced set up of the trigger ﬁlters.

ADVANCED TRIGGER FILTER SET-UP

In order to optimize the Trigger Filters it is necessary to have the PULL PT parameter set as high as possible and the REL PT parameter set as low as possible:

1. Select the PULL PT 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 PULL PT 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

49).

4. Select the REL PT 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 REL PT 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 49).

7. Set the Magnet Return Strength Screw and the Spring Return Strength Screw as required, making both the spring tension and the return force as strong as possible without compromising the “feel” of the trigger.

NOTE: THE FASTEST WAY TO SHOOT A GEO 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 IN ORDER TO

ELIMINATE WHAT IT PERCEIVES TO BE TRIGGER BOUNCE.

TRAININ

THE TRAINING PARAMETER

The TRAININ parameter is used to select Training Mode. In Training Mode the Geo will function exactly the same as normal but with two important differences:-

1. The solenoid valve is under - driven so that the bolt only moves a small amount and does not release a burst of air. This simulates the ﬁring cycle without wasting air and generating lots of noise.

2. The BBSS is overridden so that the Geo can cycle without paint. The centre of the BBSS indicator changes to a ‘T’ to indicate that Training Mode is enabled.

The Training parameter choices are as follows:-

> OFF:

Training Mode is disabled and the Geo functions

normally.

> ON:

Training Mode is enabled.

> CANCEL:

unchanged.

THE HARDWARE MENU

The Hardware Menu comprises parameters that control low level functionality of the Geo electronic hardware.

TRIGGER

THE TRIGGER PARAMETER

The Geo is ﬁtted with a dual trigger pull detection system. A non-contact optoelectronic trigger sensor arrangement is used to detect trigger movement whilst a micro-switch is used to provide a more traditional tactile feedback for the trigger. The TRIGGER parameter is used to select which system is used. The choices available are as follows:-

> OPTO:

Select the Opto sensor for trigger

pull detection.

> SWITCH:

SOUND

THE SOUND PARAMETER

The Geo board is capable of emitting a variety of sounds to audibly indicate when certain functions have been performed, including, but not limited to, powering up, powering off, changing the BBSS mode and successfully changing parameters. This parameter determines if this feature is switched on or off, switching it on will cause more drain on the battery. The choices available for this parameter are:

>OFF: Sounds switched off.

>ON: Sounds switched on.

>CANCEL: Cancel editing and leave the

parameter unchanged.

TONES

THE TONES PARAMETER

This parameter sets the Geo emits a tone each time any of the pushbuttons on the Navigation Console are activated. As part of the Smart menu system the TONES parameter will only be shown in the Hardware Menu if the SOUND parameter is switched on. The choices available for this parameter are:

>OFF: Tones switched off.
