Release the middle pushbutton, and
manually test all three push buttons, to
ensure that the Zero-B board is in the
correct position. Reconnect the cocking
solenoid to the top port on your Zero-B
PCB, the sear solenoid to the middle
port on your Zero-B PCB and the Breech
sensor to the bottom port on your Zero-B
PCB.

Install a fresh 9 volt battery and turn the
Zero B frame on in exactly the same
manner as your old Eclipseblade PCB.
Ensure that the trigger activates the
PCB when pulled, and if not make the
necessary adjustments (see setting the
trigger in either the Eclipseblade or the
E2 manual).

Screw in the three rubber grip screws on
the right hand side of your frame using
the 5/64th inch hex key.

Congratulations! You have now installed

With the breech sensor on (and no paint
present), the rate of re will be limited by
your Cocking Time Out setting as it will
determine the length of time the breech
is held open waiting for a ball to fall into
the breech.

To use the Rate of Fire screen without
shooting paint, simply switch the breech
sensor off using the Raise pushbutton.

The Rate of Fire Indicator records every
pull and release of the trigger over a
period of one second and calculates the
number of valid shots that were red
during that period.

The current Rate of Fire is displayed in
the top right hand corner. The maximum
Rate of Fire that has been achieved
is displayed in the bottom right hand
corner.

To reset the maximum Rate of Fire
simply push and hold the Lower
pushbutton for a 1 second period.

Graphic Option

The GRAPHIC option is a means
by which you can display either the
standard Eclipseblade Zero.B logo or a
custom graphic of your choice that has
been uploaded using the Eclipseblade
Programmer Kit (sold separately). When
GRAPHIC is chosen from the Display
menu, it simply displays the graphic that
you have chosen whilst the frame is in
use.

REFLECTIVE BREECH SENSOR

The Eclipseblade Zero.B is designed to
be used with a Reective breech sensor.
The breech sensor is an advanced anti­chop eye. When the breech sensor is
on, the software will prevent the breech
from closing until a ball is detected in
the breech. In this way the Eclipseblade
Zero.B prevents the bolt from closing
prematurely and chopping or trapping a
paintball.

The Eclipseblade Zero.B is compatible
with the Eclipseblade E2 Break-beam
eye kit, available separately from

www.planeteclipse.com

THE SENSITIVITY PARAMETER Setting the

Using Zero.B

12

Using Zero.B

13

The sensitivity parameter is used to
dene the point at which the Eclipse­blade Zero.B registers that a ball is in the
breech of the marker.

Scroll through the Main Menu until the
SENSTIV parameter is displayed.

The signal from the breech sensor is
represented as a percentage value and
this value is shown at the top right of the
display. As an object passes in front of
the breech sensor (or between the trans­mitter and receiver in the case of a break
beam sensor) then this value increases,
as the object is removed then the value
decreases. The breech sensor value is
also represented by a graphical bar on
the right-hand side of the screen.

The Sensitivity parameter is shown at the
bottom right of the display and this is also
expressed as a percentage value. When
the breech sensor value is less than the
Sensitivity then the Eclipseblade Zero.B
considers that the breech is empty. When
the breech sensor value is greater than
the Sensitivity then the Eclipseblade
Zero.B considers that the breech is full,

i.e. that a paintball is present.

To determine whether or not the breech
sensor is working correctly, simply open
the breech by retracting the bolt and
watch the breech sensor value drop.
Close the bolt and the breech sensor
value will rise.

sensitivity Paramater

The factory setting for the Sensitivity
parameter should be ne for most setups
and paint, however you may have to
make adjustments to this parameter
if the breech sensor is not detecting
paintballs.The procedure for doing this is
as follows:

1. Retract the bolt and ensure that noth­ing is in the breech. Note the breech sen­sor value in the top right of the display.

2. Drop a paintball into the breech. In
the case of multi-coloured paintballs,
ensure that the darker colour is facing
the breech sensor (not applicable for
break beam sensors). Note the breech
sensor value.

3. Set the Sensitivity parameter to a
value approximately half way between
the two recorded breech sensor values.

To adjust the parameter, press SELECT
to enter the edit mode. Press and release
the Raise pushbutton to increase the pa­rameter value. Press and hold the Raise

pushbutton to increase the parameter
value more rapidly. Press and release the
Lower pushbutton to decrease the pa­rameter value. Press and hold the Lower
pushbutton to decrease the parameter
value more rapidly.

USING THE MODE MENU

In SEMI mode, depressing the trigger will
start the ring cycle as follows:

The Sear solenoid is energised, which
actuates the sear and causes the ham­mer to be released.

The Cocking solenoid is energised,
which causes the cocking block to retract
the bolt and open the breech.

continued ...

If the breech sensor is active, then the
cocking block remains retracted for a
preset time (determined by your C T/OUT
value) or until a paintball is detected in
the breech. If the breech sensor is inac­tive then the cocking block will remain
retracted for a preset time (determined
by your C ON value).

The cocking solenoid is de-energised
and the cocking block brings the bolt
forward, closing the breech.

In CLASSIC mode, depressing the
trigger will again start the ring cycle as
follows:

The Sear solenoid is energised, which
actuates the sear and causes the ham­mer to be released.

The Cocking solenoid is energised,
which causes the cocking block to retract
the bolt and open the breech.

If the breech sensor is active, then the
cocking block remains retracted until the
trigger is released, and either a ball is
detected by the sensor or a preset time
has elapsed without a ball being detected
(determined by your C T/OUT value). If
the breech sensor is inactive then the
cocking block will remain retracted until
the trigger is released, provided that the
cocking block has been retracted for at
least a preset time (determined by your
C ON value).

The cocking solenoid is de-energised
and the cocking block brings the bolt
forward, closing the breech.

continued ...

CLASSIC mode provides the feel of a

classic mechanical marker, but without
the possibility of “short stroking” the
trigger.

In TRAINING mode, depressing the trig­ger will start the cocking cycle as follows:

The Cocking solenoid is energised, which
causes the cocking block to retract the
bolt and open the breech.

If the breech sensor is active, then the
cocking block remains retracted for a
preset time (determined by your C T/OUT
value) or until a paintball is detected in
the breech. If the breech sensor is inac­tive then the cocking block will remain
retracted for a preset time (determined
by your C ON value).

The cocking solenoid is de-energised
and the cocking block brings the bolt
forward, closing the breech.

In TRAINING mode the ring cycle does
not activate. Training mode provides a
way of using your Eclipseblade Zero.B to
increase your rate of re and nd a trig­ger set-up that suits your requirements,
without the noise of the marker ring.

TRANSITION FILTERING

The Zero.B incorporates an advanced
debounce (anti-bounce) algorithm known
as the Trigger Transition Filter (TT Filter),
which is fully adjustable and can be used
to completely eliminate trigger bounce.
The TT Filter works by analysing each
trigger pull and determining whether
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.

There are two adjustable parameters
associated with the TT Filter -

TT BAND

This parameter denes the operating
range of the TT Filter in terms of trigger
movement. The larger the TT Band, the
less the gun is able to bounce.

TT TOLERANCE

This parameter denes how strictly the
TT Filter applies its debounce rules - the
lower this value, the less the gun is able
to bounce.

SETTING UP THE TT FILTER

In order to optimise the TT Filter it is nec­essary to have the TT Band parameter
as high as possible and the TT Toler-
ance parameter as low as possible -

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

2. Set the Post-travel Trigger Stop
as required and ensure that the bar is
as close to 100% as possible when the
trigger is fully depressed against the set
screw.

3. Set the Pre-travel Trigger Set Screw
as required and ensure that the bar is as
close to 0% as possible when the trigger
is fully released against the set screw.

4. Set the Trigger Return Force Set
Screw as required, making the return
force as strong as possible without com­promising the ‘feel’ of the pull.

5. Adjust the TT Band parameter, shown

in the bottom right of the screen, and ob­serve the movement of the two horizontal
markers by the side of the bar. As the
TT Band is decreased these markers
move closer together, and as the TT
Band is increased these markers move
further apart. Set the TT Band such that
when the trigger is fully depressed the
bar settles above the upper marker and
when the trigger is fully released the bar
settles below the lower marker. This en­sures that the TT Band operates across
the full range of the trigger pull

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

Whilst this set up should completely
eliminate bounce, it may result in a trig-

user, in which case it will be necessary
to make adjustments to the trigger and
then modify the TT Filter parameters
accordingly.

Note: The fastest way to shoot an E2 is
to walk the trigger with two or more n­gers. Feathering (not fully releasing) the
trigger will cause the TT Filter to reduce
the rate of re in order to eliminate what
it perceives as trigger bounce.

THE BREECH SENSOR TYPE

The Breech Sensor Type parameter
denes which type of breech sensor is
tted to the marker.

REFLECTV refers to the standard Re­ective Breech Sensor which is supplied
with the Eclipseblade / Eclipseblade E2.

BRK BEAM refers to the Break-beam
Breech Sensor system, sold separately.

NONE allows the Zero.B to be used with
no Breech Sensor tted.

Note: When selecting NONE , the Zero.B
will power up with the breech sensor
permanently disabled and the user will
not be able to switch it on or off.

THE FACTORY SETTINGS PARAMETER

The Factory settings option gives the
user a simple way of selecting a group
of factory settings to suit their marker,
without having to individually go through
and adjust each parameter.

As a guideline, we would recommend
that:

When using the Zero.B on a standard au­tococker with standard pneumatics using
a gravity fed loading device, the frame
should be set at Factory Slow.

When using the Zero.B on a mid-range
autococker, such as an Eclipse Pro
Series or Pro Series Plus marker using
an electronic loading device, the frame
should be set at Factory Medium.

When using the Zero.B on a top of the
line autococker, with heavily upgraded
pneumatics (Nexus Ram and QEV’s),

Advanced Set-Up

such as the Nexus DC2 marker, the
frame should be set at Factory Fast.

As an aside, if the user has chosen to
deviate from the factory settings,

CUSTOM will be displayed as the se­lected choice.
