ECLIPSE SHAFT4 BARREL

The Eclipse Geo2 comes as standard with an Eclipse Shaft 4 barrel.

The barrel screws into the body of the Geo2 using a hold the Geo2 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 Geo2 body when the marker is red. There is also a 015 NBR 70 o-ring on the tip of the barrel back helps with alignment when the two sections are screwed together.

right hand thread meaning that if you

Replace and lubricate these o-rings with Eclipse Grease as necessary.

The bore size of your Shaft4 may vary according to

the model of Geo2 you have.

The Geo2 will only accept COCKER Threaded barrels.

Do not use any other type of barrel thread.

The Eclipse Shaft4 front and back barrel sections are not interchangeable with older version shaft front and back barrel sections (including Shaft3 barrel kits).

The model of barrel accompanying your Geo2 may dier from above.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Below is a brief overview of what happens when you re your Geo2. The location of parts discussed in the text below can be found on page 72-73.

Assuming the Geo2 is gassed up and turned on

FIGURE 1.1 shows the marker in its idle position.

The Firing Chamber is full of compressed air, the Prop Shaft is pushed back into the Back Cap by this compressed air. 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.

As air is vented from the Firing Chamber the force pushing the Prop Shaft back is overcome by the Spring tension in the Back Cap. The Spring pushes the Prop Shaft forward. The front 14x2 o-ring on the Prop Shaft enters the bolt and seals o the Firing Chamber FIGURE 1.4.

The length of time the Bolt remains in this forward position 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. Simultaneously the Firing Chamber is re-lled through the Solenoid Valve to the operating pressure set by the user via the Inline Regulator, and the Prop Shaft is pushed into its rear position by the air pressure inside the Valve Chamber. FIGURE 1.5.

FIG 1.4

FIG 1.5

INSTALLING A 9V BATTERY

Ensure that the Geo2 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 the 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 OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

SWITCHING ON THE GEO2

To switch on the Geo2 press the button twice in quick succession, referred to elsewhere in this manual as ‘doubleclicking’. The Geo2 can also be switched on by pushing and holding the button FIGURE 3.1.

SWITCHING OFF THE GEO2

Press and hold the button until the display shows TURN

OFF.

Release the button and re-press it to turn o the Geo2. Alternatively double click the button to enter the menu tree then press to turn o the Geo2.

FIG 3.2

USING THE BREAK BEAM SENSOR SYSTEM

The break beam sensor system, referred to elsewhere in this manual as ‘BBSS’ is used to detect when a paintball is ready to re from the Geo2. If no paintball is ready then the BBSS will inhibit the Geo2 from ring. This prevents the Geo2 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 upon whether 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 .

TSLOT MOUNTING SYSTEM

The Geo2 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 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.

IF YOU EVER REMOVE THE MACROL INE HOSE FROM

THE FITTING, ALWAYS C HECK THE CONDITION OF

YOUR MACROLINE HO SING AND IF I T IS WORN OR THE

WRONG LENGTH REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY.

SETTING THE TRIGGER

The Geo2 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 rst select the method of trigger detection that you wish to use by entering the Main menu and making your selection from the HARDWARE menu (see page 40).

There are ve adjustment points on the trigger – the front

stop trigger screw return strength screw,

and the spring return strength screw.

As standard each Geo2 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 55. 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 FI LTER menu on page 38.

ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY

When using your Geo2, you may wish to change the velocity at which your Geo2 is ring. This is done by inserting a 1/8" hex key into the adjuster screw at the bottom of your Geo2 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.

USING yOUR GEO2

After each adjustment re two clearing shots to gain an accurate

velocity reading. Never exceed 300fps.

USER INTERFACE

The Geo2 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 Geo2. A typical run screen is shown on the right.

On the left of the screen is a display option that is user selectable from by briey pressing the button on the navigation console.

> A GAME TIMER > A SHOT COU NTER > AN ACTUAL RATE OF FI RE INDICATOR > A PEAK RATE OF FIR E INDICATOR

On the right of the screen are a number of icons, each of which provides graphical indication on dierent parts of the Geo2 control electronics:

The layout of the run screen is correct at time of printing. However newer versions of the Geo2 software may have a dierent layout of the run screen from what is printed in this manual. You may nd some icons have been added or removed entirely. If you are unsure about any icons which do not feature in the manual contact your local dealer/service centre or Planet Eclipse directly.

THE BREAK BEAM SENSOR SYSTEM INDICATOR BBSS

The BBSS is able to switch itself o in the event of a blockage or contamination preventing 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 Geo2 can be red at the maximum rate of re determined by the chosen ring mode.

BBSS ENABLED NO BALL DETECTED

The Geo2 cannot be red.

BBSS DISABLED

The Geo2 can be red at a maximum rate of re as set by the BS OFF ROF parameter (see page 35).

BBSS FAULT DETECTED

The system is disabled. The Geo2 can only be red at a maximum rate of 2bps less than the maximum rate of re, up to a maximum of 10 bps.

BBSS FAULT HAS BEEN CLEARED AND BALL DETECTED

The sensor has been re-enabled. A ball is detected and the Geo2 can be red at the maximum rate of re determined by the chosen ring mode.

BBSS FAULT HAS BEEN CLEARED AND NO BALL DETECTED

The sensor is enabled. No ball is detected so the Geo2 cannot be red. To reset the BBSS icon, use the button to switch o 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 re is limited by the ring 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 o, the achievable rate of re is limited by the BS OFF RO F parameter (see page 35).

THE AUX OUT INDICATOR

The auxiliary socket on the Geo2 circuit board allows third party products such as loaders or RF transmitters to be interfaced to the Geo2.

The AUX out indicator is turned on and o via the AUX OUT parameter (see page 42).

There are two possible conditions that can be indicated:

AUX OUT ENABLED

The AUX OUT is enabled. Each time the circuit board detects a valid trigger pull a signal will be sent to the AUX connector on the circuit board.

AUX OUT DISABLED

The AUX OUT is disabled. No signal will be sent to the AUX connector on the circuit board.
