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.

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 1.3
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 OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS.

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 .

Every Geo2 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 FIGUR E 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 Geo2 to become pressurised, providing
that there is sucient air in your tank SEE FIGURE 4.3.

TSLOT 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).
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.
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 .

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.

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 briey pressing the button on the
navigation console.

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.
THE SOUND INDICATOR
The sound indicator on the run screen is used to convey if
the SOUND parameter in the HARDWARE menu (page 41) is
switched on or o.
There are two possible conditions that can be indicated:
SOUND ENABLED
The SOUND parameter is enabled. The Geo2
will make sounds when switched on and o
and when the game timer alarms or times out.
SOUND DISABLED
The SOUND parameter is disabled. The Geo2
will not make any sounds.
THE TRIGGER DETECTION
INDICATOR TDI
In order for the trigger to be successfully operated it must
rst 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 LOCK INDICATOR
The Geo2 has a tournament lock which prevents the user
from making changes to any parameter that aects the
way in which the Geo2 shoots, without the need for tools.
This feature is necessary in order to make the Geo2 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 .
To enable or disable the tournament lock see Accessing the Menu System on page 32.
THE BATTERY LEVEL
INDICATOR
The battery level indicator is used to show the state of
the battery within the Geo2. 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 Geo2 will no
longer function reliably, the indicator will start to ash. At
this point the battery must be changed immediately.
As well as displaying the voltage level of the battery,
the indicator also warns if the battery being used has
an incorrect voltage to operate the electronics reliably.
The icon for a battery with an incorrect voltage output
is . If this icon is shown the battery must be replaced
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 congured to start on a trigger press with the START
parameter (see page 45).
When the game timer reaches the
ALARM T IME the gamer timer will start
to ash and the audible alarm will
sound every second, provided that the
SOUND parameter is on.
When the game timer reaches 00:00,
GAME OVER will be displayed and the
audible alarm will sound continually,
provided that the
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 Geo2 is switched o.

THE SHOT
COUNTER
The shot counter will increment
every time that the Geo2 solenoid
is activated, 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.
There is also an optional shot gauge
that can be displayed on this run
screen. The gauge counts down from
a user adjustable number. To alter the
gauge settings see pages 44.
The gauge is reset whenever the Geo2 is switched o or
the button is pressed.
THE ACTUAL
RATE OF FIRE
When the actual 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
a second - the actual rate of re over
that second. The value below it is the
maximum actual rate of re that has
been achieved. The graph below this
number shows the actual rates of re
achieved over time where each bar
represents the amount of pulls in that
second. To reset the maximum, press
and hold the button for 1 second.
THE PEAK RATE
OF FIRE
When the peak ROF is selected for
display the run screen will look
something like the screen to the
right, which diers from the display
of the actual ROF by the inclusion
of the indicator ‘PK’. The value
displayed in the top left of the screen
represents the maximum rate of re
that has been recorded over the last
second. The value below it is the
maximum peak rate of re that has
been achieved. The graph below
this number shows the peak rates
of re achieved over time. To reset
this maximum, press and hold the
button for 0.5 seconds.
The peak ROF is typically higher than the actual ROF as it is
much easier to re 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 two layers of menus. Each menu contains a
number of menu items and each menu item can either be
a parameter or a branch to another menu. Branches have
an animated graphic on the right of the display, whereas
parameters have their current value
.

At the bottom of the parameter screen the unit for that
parameter will be displayed. Some parameters will not
have units, such as on or o parameters. For a detailed list
of which parameters have units, and what they stand for,

For example, if the user is pulling the trigger
at a rate of 10 pulls per second and the
parameter is set to 50% then the rate of re
is 10 plus 50% extra which is 15 balls per
second.
This parameter can be set between 0 and 100% in 10%
increments.
RATE
SEMI SHOTS
THE SEMI SHOTS MENU
The parameter sets the number of shots
in semi-automatic that are required at the
KICK IN rate before ramping will start. The
parameter can be set between 3 and 9 pulls
in 1 pull increments.
KICK IN
THE KICKIN 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 3.3 and 10.0 pulls per
second in 0.1 pulls per second increments.
SUSTAIN
THE SUSTAIN RATE PARAMETER
Once the Geo2 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 3.3 and 10.0 pulls per second in
0.1 pulls per second increments.
RESTART
THE RAMP RESTART PARAMETER
The RESTART parameter denes the amount
of time 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

DWELL
THE DWELL PARAMETER
The DWELL parameter sets the amount of
time that the solenoid is energized and
therefore the amount of gas that is released
with each shot of the Geo2. Setting this
parameter too low will result in low velocity
shots and/or excessive shot to shot velocity
uctuations. Setting the parameter too
high will simply waste gas and make the
Geo2 louder. The DWELL can be set between
0.0 and 25.0 milliseconds. The factory default setting can
normally be reduced after a few thousand shots as the
Geo2 ‘beds-in’.
FSD COMP
THE FIRST SHOT DROPOFF
COMPENSATION PARAMETER
First shot drop o is a reduction in velocity
of the rst shot red after an extended
period of not ring and is caused by the
stiction between dynamic o-rings and the
surfaces that they are in contact with. In
order to compensate for rst shot drop-o
this parameter can be set to add extra
time to the DWELL parameter for the rst
shot. This parameter can be set between 0.0 and 5.0
milliseconds.
FSD DLY
THE FIRST SHOT DROPOFF DELAY
PARAMETER
The time that has to elapse before the
FDS COMP is applied to a shot following a
previous shot. This parameter can be set
between 00:00 and 04:00 minutes.
FILTER
THE FILTER MENU
The parameters on the FILTER menu are all used to tune the
Geo2’s software lters which prevent the Geo2 from ring
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 modication
of one or more of these parameters.
DEBOUNCE
THE DEBOUNCE PARAMETER
The DEBOUNCE parameter is used to combat
any trigger bounce that might occur in the
Geo2 and can be set between level 1 and
level 9 in one level increments.

The parameter can be set between 1.0 and
20.0ms in 0.5ms increments.
FULL
THE BREECH FULL TIME PARAMETER
Tumbling paintballs can take time to
settle in the breech before they can be
successfully red. This parameter is used
to set the amount of time that a paintball
has to be in the breech before the Geo2 is
allowed to re. This parameter can be set
between 1.0 and 20 milliseconds in 0.5ms
increments.
PULL TM
THE TRIGGER PULL TIME PARAMETER
The PULL TM parameter is used to set the
minimum amount of time that the trigger
must be pulled before it is recognised as a
valid trigger pull. This parameter can be set
between 3.0 and 20.0 milliseconds in 0.5
increments.
RELEASE TM
THE TRIGGER RELEASE
TIME PARAMETER
The RELEASE T M parameter is used to set the
