Setting UpUsingTheUsing TheEgo EgoBefore you can begin to use your Eclipse Ego, there are a few necessarycomponents that are required to enable the Eclipse Ego to function; namelyan air system and a loader of your choice.16FIGURE 3.1Note: The Eclipse Ego cannot be used with Co2, it can only bepowered by Compressed Air or Nitrogen.Installing a Preset Air SystemEvery Eclipse Ego comes complete with an Eclipse On/Off Purge System(OOPS) allowing a preset regulator and tank to be screwed straight in forimmediate use. Before screwing the preset system into the OOPS ensurethat the on/off knob is wound out approximately half way (See Figure 3.1) . Becareful not to unscrew the on/off knob too far as it will come completely outof the OOPS. If this happens, replace the on/off knob by screwing it backinto the OOPS in a clockwise direction.Screw the preset air system into the OOPS (See Figure 3.2) so that the bottlescrews in all the way and is tight. Slowly turn the on/off knob in a clockwisedirection allowing the OOPS to depress the pin of the preset air system,causing the Eclipse Ego to become pressurised, providing there is sufficientair in your tank (See Figure 3.3) . You have now installed a preset air systemto your Eclipse Ego.Note: When utilising an OOPS on your Eclipse Ego, the EclipseEgo will store air in the valve chamber after the OOPS has dumpedthe supply in your gas line and inline regulator. Please remember todischarge the stored air in a safe direction as you are unscrewing theon/off knob on the OOPS.FIGURE 3.2FIGURE 3.3

at the base of the frame (See Figure 3.4) . Unscrew the on/off knob from theOOPS, and using a 3/32” Hex key turn the two screws on the left hand sideof the OOPS rail counter clockwise so that the body of the OOPS can beremoved by sliding it out (See Figure 3.5) . Using a 5/32” hex key remove thetwo screws that attach the OOPS rail to the bottom of the Eclipse Ego gripframe and remove the OOPS rail (See Figure 3.6) .Attach the air system of your choice, taking care to ensure that you usethe correct length and size of hosing and elbows to accommodate yourrequirements.FIGURE 3.5WARNING: Before attaching any fixed air system, placeattaching screw in designated slide rail and measure protrudingscrew length. Screw length must not protrude more than 10mm/0.40" otherwise the Ego Printed Circuit Board will becomedamaged.FIGURE 3.6Using The EgoFirstly disconnect the 1/4” hosing from the elbow attached to the OOPSUsing The EgoFIGURE 3.4Installing anAdjustable Air system17

Push your choice of loaderfirmly into the clamping feed tube so that it rests on the shelf inside theclamping feed tube (See Figure 3.8) . Using a 5/32” hex key, tighten the topscrew of the clamping feed tube by turning it clockwise until the loader isfirmly gripped (See Figure 3.9) .FIGURE 3.8You have now attached a loader to your Eclipse Ego. Once you have filledyour loader and air tank you will then be ready to begin using your EclipseEgo.FIGURE 3.9

The Rate of Fire screen looks like the screen tothe left.With the Break Beam Sensor System enabled andpaint present, the rate of fire is only limited to the speedof your loader. To achieve the highest rates of fire werecommend using a high-speed loader such as theHALO, Evolution 2 or Q-loader. With the Break BeamSensor System enabled, and no paint present, the rateof fire will be 0, as your Eclipse Ego will not be able tofire.To use the Rate of Fire screen without shooting paint,simply switch the Break Beam Sensor System off usingthe Raise pushbutton. In this scenario, the Rate of Fire isonly limited to whatever value you have selected in theMAX ROF option in the TIMING Menu.The Rate of Fire Indicator records every pull andrelease of the trigger over a period of one second andcalculates the number of valid shots that were firedduring that period.The current Rate of Fire is displayed in the top righthand corner. The maximum Rate of Fire that has beenachieved is displayed in the bottom right hand corner.To reset the maximum Rate of Fire simply push andhold the Lower pushbutton for a 1 second period.

You have now enteredthe INFORMATION Menu .By using the Raise and Lower pushbuttons, you canscroll through the INFO Menu as illustrated below:In the INFO Menu, the Eclipse Ego displays the currentversion of firmware that it has programmed into it,and the total number of shots that the frame has fired.There is no user interaction in the INFORMATION Menu, itis simply a way of finding out facts about your EclipseEgo.To display the current Version of Firmware being used,scroll to the VERSION option.To display the Total number of shots that your Ego hasfired, scroll to the T SHOTS option.To return to the Main Menu, scroll to the BACK optionand press Select .

Note: after each adjustment fire two clearing shots togain an accurate velocity reading. Never exceed 300fps.Adjusting your LPR PressureWhen using your Eclipse Ego, you may wish to change the output pressureof your LPR. This is easily done by inserting a 5/32nd" inch hex key into theadjuster screw at the front and adjusting it accordingly (See Figure 3.11) . Byturning the adjuster screw clockwise, you decrease the output pressure ofyour LPR and consequently reduce the pressure driving your hammer backand forth. By turning the adjuster screw counter clockwise, you increase theoutput pressure of your LPR and consequently increase the pressure drivingyour hammer back and forth.FIGURE 3.11Note: turning the adjuster screw out too far will cause it to fall out.Using The EgoFIGURE 3.10When using your Eclipse Ego, you may wish to change the velocity atwhich your Eclipse Ego is firing. This is done by inserting a 1/8th" hex keyinto the adjuster screw at the bottom of your Eclipse Ego Inline regulatorand adjusting it accordingly (See Figure 3.10) . By turning this adjuster screwclockwise you decrease the output pressure of the inline regulator andconsequently the velocity, by turning the adjuster screw counter clockwiseyou increase the output pressure of the inline regulator and consequentlythe velocity.Using The EgoAdjusting Your Velocity27

AdvancedSet-UpAdvanced Set-Up28Setting The TriggerThere are three adjustment points on the trigger - the Front Stop TriggerScrew, the Rear Stop Trigger Screw and the Return Strength Trigger Screw.As standard each Eclipse Ego comes with a factory-set trigger travel ofapproximately 2mm in total length: one millimetre of travel before thefiring point, and one millimetre of travel after the firing point.FIGURE 4.1The Front Stop Trigger Screw is used to set the amount of trigger travelprior to the marker firing. Turn this screw clockwise to reduce theamount of travel. Do not turn the screw too far or the trigger will bepushed past its firing point and the marker will not work. Turn this screwcounter clockwise to increase the amount of trigger travel (See Figure 4.1)The Rear Stop Trigger Screw is used to set the amount of trigger travelafter the marker has fired. Turn this screw clockwise to reduce theamount of travel. Do not turn the screw too far or the trigger will beprevented from reaching its firing point and the marker will not work.Turn this screw counter clockwise to increase the amount of triggertravel (See Figure 4.2)The Return Strength Trigger Screw is used to adjust the amount of forcewith which the trigger is returned to its rest position. Turn the screwclockwise to increase the amount of force (See Figure 4.3) . Do not turnthe screw too far or it will negate the position of the Front Stop TriggerScrew. 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 returnthe trigger.Once you have set the trigger to your preference, refer to setting the TTBAND (see page 37), as it is very important that the TT BAND and trigger pullare set up together for the Trigger Transition Filtering to work correctly.FIGURE 4.2FIGURE 4.3
