B. Open grip panel and install 9V battery into the connector inside the frame

C. Close grip panel and tighten the two screws back. While closing the panel observe that no wires get caught between the frame and the grip panel

STEP 2. BARREL INSTALLATION

A. Screw on the barrel to the front of the PMR. Make sure it threads all the way in and tightens good

B. Attached the barrel sock so that it covers the tip of the barrel and secure the strap around the back of the PMR

STEP 3. LOADER INSTALLATION

A. Tighten your loader into the adjustable feed neck on the PMR with a 5/32” sized allen key. For best performance you need a force feeding

motorized loader.

STEP 4. ATTACHING GAS SOURCE

A. Screw on a preset air system into the airport located on the bottom of the grip frame. Make sure air system is screwed in all the way. If there is a leak

screwing in the air system or if no gas comes out of the air system even when screwed in all the way consult page 11 in this manual for pin depressor

adjustment.

STEP 5. TURNING ON THE PMR AND CHECKING THE VELOCITY

A. Make sure you and everybody around you is wearing ASTM / CE approved paintball masks

B. Press and hold the top button located behind the grip frame until the PMR turns on. WARNING, the PMR is LIVE. Make sure barrel sock is in place and

do not point the PMR to anything you don’t intend to shoot.

C. Fill up the loader with .68 caliber paintballs

D. Shoot the PMR over a chronograph to check the velocity. If adjustment is needed adjust the velocity by turning the Hyper2 velocity adjustment screw

PMR BOARD

SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS

BUTTONS AND LED LIGHT INDICATOR

There are two buttons and an LED light indicator mounted inside the frame of the PMR. These are accessible on the back side of the frame. The top button is used to turn the PMR ON and OFF. The bottom button is used to turn the Eye feature of the PMR ON and OFF. To turn the PMR ON press and hold the top button until the LED light turns on. The Eye feature is always on when the PMR is turned on, to turn off the eye feature press and hold the bottom button until the LED light starts blinking Red indicating the eye feature is turned off.

In normal operation mode the LED light indicator shows you the following information:

SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION MODE

There are five settings that can be altered in the PMR circuit board.

Settings 2-5 are changed from a configuration mode. Setting 1, Anti Bolt Stick, is changed by turning DIP switch #1 on the circuit board either ON or OFF. When the ABS is turned on the dwell is increased after 15 seconds of non-use for the next shot fired. This helps to prevent bolt stick. Factory default is ON. Notice that the setting is only activated after re-starting the PMR.

To change settings 2-5 you will need to activate the configuration mode. To activate the configuration mode, turn your marker off, open the two left side grip panel screws with a 3/32” allen key and set DIP switch 2 to the on position. Next, turn your marker on. The 3-color LED will cycle through all colors for one second to indicate that you have entered the configuration mode. To cycle through different settings, pull and release the trigger. Configuration mode has 4 settings that can be changed.

GREEN – TRIGGER SENSITIVITY. VALUES 1 - 20 (factory default 5)

Trigger sensitivity is the amount of time that the trigger has to be released before the next trigger pull is allowed. In some situations with too low of a value, the marker may begin to shoot full-auto.

RED – DWELL. Values 1 - 40 (factory default 25)

Dwell is the amount of time tha

• Remove loader and any paintballs from the PMR marker.

• With the dwell set at 20, start increasing the value until the marker begins to fire.

• When you reach the setting where the marker begins to fire, get some paint and a loader and go to a chronograph.

• Increase the dwell until you see no increase in the velocity. This is the optimal dwell setting to be used.

Yellow: Boot up Sequence

Red: No ball detected inside the PMR, eye is turned on

Green: Ball detected inside the PMR, eye is turned on

Blinking red: Eye is turned off Blinking green: Eye blocked. Either the eye is dirty, the marker is not gassed up, there is bad connection between the board and the eye’s or the battery is low.
