6) Changing Special Firing Modes - To
❏ ❏
change the Special Firing Mode - follow the
instructions in the Advanced User Programming
Section on page 2.
Advanced User Programming Section
There are several programming options which affect the operation of the
Tippmann® X7TM E-GripTM. The Advanced User Programming has been
designed to allow users the maximum amount of customization possible for
their E-Grip
Dwell, Debounce
TM
. There are four menu items in the Advanced User Programming:
TM
, Rate-of-fire, and Special Firing Mode. Read and familiarize
yourself with each of these items as they are explained in the following sections.
Menu Items-Dwell, Debounce
TM
, Rate-of-fire, and Special
Firing Mode Explained:
This section will discuss the four menu items in detail so that a user will
understand fully the purpose and use of each menu item.
Dwell - (Factory Default Value = 8 milli-seconds) The Dwell menu item is
used to change the amount of time that power is supplied to the solenoid.
The solenoid is the part of the electronics which actually contacts the sear of
the marker , allowing it to fire. This setting will directly affect the battery life of
the E-Grip
Grip
TM
. If this is changed to a value less than 8 milli-seconds, your E-
TM
battery will last longer , but this may not allow the solenoid enough time
to trip the sear properly. If this value is set greater than 8 milli-seconds, the
solenoid will have power supplied to it for a longer time, but will reduce the
life of the battery . Changing this value can cure or create performance issues
for the user. This menu item can only be updated with the values of 2-20
milli-seconds.
Debounce
TM
- (Factory Default Value = 50 milli-seconds) The Debounce
TM
menu item is used to change the amount of time between accepted trigger
pulls. Quite simply, this adjusts the amount of time from one trigger pull
being accepted by the electronics to the next trigger pull which can be
accepted. If a Debounce
TM
setting is too low, a user may shoot more times
than they had expected. This can be explained by what is called "Trigger
Bounce." When a paintball marker is fired, the marker will move and vibrate
in a user's hand. This vibration can allow the trigger to reset itself and trip
without the user realizing that their finger has actually moved. NOTE: This
menu item can only be updated with the values of 25-65 milli-seconds.
Rate-of-Fire - (Factory Default Value = 13 bps) The Rate-of-Fire menu item
may be used to update the Safe Full-auto Firing mode. This is the only Special
Firing Mode which is affected by this menu item. All other Special Firing
modes cannot have their rate of fire adjusted. This menu item can only be
updated with the values of 8-30 bps. Please note that extremely high rates of
fire (over 20 bps), paint breakage can occur due to the maximum feed rate of
the Tippmann
®
CycloneTM Feed System.
Special Firing Mode - (Factory Default Setting = Safe Full-auto ) The Special
Firing Mode menu is used to select a default Special Firing Option. There
are 5 options so this menu item can only accept a value of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
The 5 Special Firing Options are:
• 1 LED Flash = Safe Three-shot Burst- Pulling the trigger three times in
less than one second will result in a 3-shot burst at a rate of 13 balls per
second (bps) on the third trigger pull. Each pull of the trigger in less than
one second after this will result in another 3-shot burst.
• 2 LED Flashes = Safe Full-auto (Factory Default Setting)- Pulling the
trigger three times in less than one second will result in full-automatic firing.
Holding the trigger down on the third pull will sustain this full-auto mode.
The default rate of fire for this mode is 13 bps.
• 3 LED Flashes = Auto-Response- The marker will fire on the pull and the
release of the trigger . This mode effectively doubles your manual firing rate.
• 4 LED Flashes = Turbo Mode- Pulling the trigger three times in less than
one second will result in full-automatic firing at a rate of 15 bps. To sustain
this rate of fire, the trigger must be pulled at least once per second.
• 5 LED Flashes = Semi-automatic- One pull/release of the trigger fires 1
time. This semi-automatic Special Firing Mode is available for fields or
tournaments which restrict the use of automatic firing modes. This mode
is the same as selecting the F firing mode with the safety/selector switch.
❏
To identify your current firing option setting: While the X7
powered on, press and hold the power button
for a ½ second. The LED
TM
E-GripTM is
will flash orange to indentify the current Special Firing Mode Option and
then turn back to green. Repeat and count the number of orange flashes and
match that number to the options listing above to identify the current setting.
