INSTALLING

A 9V BATTERY

Ensure that the Ego8 is switched off. Lay the marker on a ﬂat

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 any ﬁtted battery by sliding your thumb or ﬁnger 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 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 microswitch and opto sensors so as not

to interfere with their operation and replace the rubber grip and

replace the three countersunk screws.

DO NOT over-tighten the screws.

NOTE: BATTERY VOLTAGE MUST NOT EXCEED 10 VOLTS. SOME 9 VOLT

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES CAN EXCEED THIS VOLTAGE IF OVER

CHARGED. IF IN DOUBT DO NOT USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.

user to easily achieve high rates of ﬁre.

THE EGO8 CIRCUIT

BOARD

There are three sockets on the Ego8 Circuit board two of which

are occupied by the BBSS Connector (A) and the Ego8 Solenoid

(B). The third socket on the board (C) is the Auxiliary socket to

which third party products such as loaders and RF transmitters

can be connected using the relevant wiring harness. (SEE FIGURE

3.2)

QUICK SET-UP

USING THE BREAK

BEAM SENSOR

SYSTEM

The Break Beam Sensor System is used to detect when a

paintball is ready to ﬁre from the Ego8. If no paintball is ready

then the BBSS will inhibit the Ego8 from ﬁring. This prevents the

Ego8 from ‘chopping’ paintballs that are not fully loaded into the

marker.

To switch off the Break-Beam Sensor System, press and hold the

button for 0.5 second (SEE FIGURE 3.3).

The break beam sensor system indicator on the top right of the

LCD will change from (enabled) to (disabled) .

To switch the Break-Beam Sensor System back on, press and hold

the button for one second. The indicator will change back to

When the Break-Beam Sensor System is enabled, the indicator

will change depending on if 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 .

Additional features of the Ego8’s Break-Beam Sensor System are

covered in full on page 20 of this user manual.

QUICK SET-UP

QUICK GUIDE

SETTING UP

Before you can begin to use your Ego8, you will need to attach

an air-system and a paintball loader.

INSTALLING A

PRESET AIR SYSTEM

Every Ego8 comes complete with an Eclipse On/Off 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/Off knob is wound out approximately half way (SEE

FIGURE 4.1).

Be careful not to unscrew the On/Off knob too far as it will come

completely off the OOPS. If this happens, replace the On/Off

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/Off knob in a clockwise direction allowing the OOPS

to depress the pin of the preset air system causing the Ego8 to

become pressurized, providing that there is sufﬁcient air in your

tank (SEE FIGURE 4.3).

You have now installed a preset air system onto your Ego8.

NOTE: WHEN USING AN OOPS ON YOUR EGO8, THE EGO8 WILL STILL

HAVE STORED AIR IN THE VALVE CHAMBER, GAS LINE AND INLINE

REGULATOR AFTER YOU HAVE SWITCHED THE OOPS OFF. PLEASE

REMEMBER TO DISCHARGE THE STORED AIR IN A SAFE DIRECTION AS

YOU ARE UNSCREWING THE ON/OFF KNOB ON THE OOPS.

NOTE: THE EGO8 CANNOT BE USED WITH CO2, IT CAN ONLY BE

USING YOUR EGO8

T-SLOT

MOUNTING SYSTEM

The Ego8 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).

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 ﬁttings in the

correct manner:

Pull back the collet section of the macroline ﬁtting and keep the

collet depressed.

Pull the macroline hose out of the macroline ﬁtting and release

the collet.

Before installing the macroline hose into the macroline ﬁtting

ensure that the end has been trimmed correctly to ensure a tight

ﬁt in the ﬁtting.

IF YOU EVER REMOVE THE MACROLINE HOSE FROM THE FITTING,

ALWAYS CHECK THE CONDITION OF YOUR MACROLINE HOSING AND IF

IT IS WORN OR THE WRONG LENGTH REPLACE IT IMMEDIATELY.

INSTALLING AN

ADJUSTABLE

AIR SYSTEM

Firstly disconnect the macroline hosing from the elbow attached

to the OOPS at the base of the grip frame

(SEE FIGURE 4.4).

Unscrew the On/Off knob completely from the OOPS and

using a 3/32” hex key turn the two screws on the bottom of the

OOPS in a counter clockwise direction so that the OOPS can be

removed from the rail by sliding it backwards (SEE FIGURE 4.5).

As well as the integrated slide rail at the base of the Ego8’s grip

frame, there are also two 10-32 UNF threaded screw holes which

will accept all standard bottom line screws (SEE FIGURE 4.6).

Attach the air system of your choice, taking care to ensure that

you use the correct length and size of hosing to accommodate

your requirements.

BEFORE ATTACHING ANY FIXED AIR SYSTEM, PLACE ATTACHING SCREW

IN DESIGNATED SLIDE RAIL AND MEASURE PROTRUDING SCREW LENGTH.

SCREW LENGTH MUST NOT PROTRUDE MORE THAN 10MM/0.40”

OTHERWISE THE EGO8 CIRCUIT BOARD WILL BECOME DAMAGED.

ATTACHING A LOADER

Using a 5/32” hex key, turn the top screw of the clamping feed

neck counter clockwise (SEE FIGURE 5.1).

Release the clamping lever on the feed neck (SEE FIGURE 5.2)

and test to see if your loader can easily be pushed into the top

of the feed neck. If the loader cannot easily be pushed into the

feed neck, loosen the top screw of the clamping feed neck a little

more by turning it counter clockwise using a 5/32” hex key (SEE

FIGURE 5.1).

When you have managed to push your loader into the clamping

feed neck, close the clamp to secure it ﬁrmly in place (SEE FIGURE

5.3). If the loader is loose then you will need to release the clamp,

tighten the screw slightly by turning it clockwise with a 5/32” hex

key and closing the clamp. Repeat this process as necessary to

secure your loader in place.

You have now attached a loader to your Ego8. Once you have

ﬁlled your loader and air tank you will then be ready to begin

using your Ego8.

USING YOUR EGO8

QUICK GUIDE

SETTING THE

TRIGGER

The Ego8 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 ﬁrst

select the method of trigger detection that you wish to use by

entering the Set-Up Menu and making your selection from the

Hardware Menu (SEE PAGE 48).

There are four adjustment points on the trigger – the Front Stop

Trigger Screw, the Rear Stop Trigger Screw, the Magnet Return

Strength Screw and the Micro Switch Activation Screw.

As standard each Ego8 comes with a factory set trigger travel

of approximately 2mm in total length; one millimeter of travel

before the ﬁring point and one millimeter of travel after the

ﬁring 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 ﬁring. 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 ﬁring point and the marker

will not work. Turn this screw counter clockwise to increase the

amount of trigger travel (SEE FIGURE 7.1).

The Rear Stop Trigger Screw is used to set the amount of travel

after the marker has ﬁred. 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 ﬁring point and the marker

will not work. Turn this screw counter clockwise to increase the

amount of travel (SEE FIGURE 7.2).

FIG 7.2

FIG 7.1

16.

USING YOUR EGO8

SETTING

THE TRIGGER CONT...

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

7.3).

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

7.4).

If you have selected SWITCH from the HARDWARE Menu and are

consequently using the micro-switch as the method of trigger

detection then check that the micro-switch activates and de-

activates fully on each trigger pull and trigger release. If you have

selected OPTO from the HARDWARE Menu and are using the

OPTO sensor as the method of trigger detection, refer to setting

the BAND HI and BAND LO (SEE PAGE 45-46) as it is crucial that the

trigger pull and trigger ﬁlters are set up together for the trigger

ﬁltering to work correctly.

ADJUSTING

THE VELOCITY

When using your Ego8, you may wish to change the velocity

at which your Ego8 is ﬁring. This is done by inserting a 1/8" hex

key into the adjuster screw at the bottom of your Ego8 Inline

Regulator and adjusting it accordingly (SEE FIGURE 6.1). 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.

ADJUSTING THE LPR

PRESSURE

When using your Ego8, you may wish to change the output

pressure of your LPR. This is easily done by inserting a 5/32"

inch hex key into the adjuster screw at the front and adjusting it

accordingly (SEE FIGURE 6.2). However we recommend that the

LPR screw be left set ﬂush with the front of the LPR cap.

By turning the adjuster screw clockwise, you decrease the output

pressure of your LPR and consequently reduce the pressure

driving your rammer back and forth. By turning the adjuster

screw counter clockwise, you increase the output pressure of

your LPR and consequently increase the pressure driving your

rammer back and forth.

NOTE: AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT FIRE TWO CLEARING SHOTS TO

GAIN AN ACCURATE VELOCITY READING. NEVER EXCEED 300FPS.

NOTE: TURNING THE ADJUSTER SCREW OUT TOO FAR WILL CAUSE

IT TO FALL OUT.

comprise the Navigation Console.

SWITCHING ON

Pressing and holding the button will switch the Ego8 on.

The LCD display will show the Ego8 logo. When the button is

released, the LCD will show the Run Screen, which is the screen

displayed during the normal use of the Ego8.

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 Ego8. A typical Run Screen is shown

on the right.

On the left of the screen is a display option that is user selectable

from the Main Menu (see page 29). This option can be:-

> A GAME TIMER

> A SHOT COUNTER

> AN AVERAGE RATE OF FIRE

UNDERSTANDING

THE BBSS INDICATOR

(BBSS)

The BBSS is able to switch itself off in the event that a blockage

or contamination prevents 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 Ego8 can be ﬁred at the maximum rate of ﬁre

determined by the chosen ﬁring mode.

BBSS SENSOR FAULT HAS

BEEN CLEARED

The sensor has been re-enabled. A ball is detected

and the Ego8 can be ﬁred at the maximum rate of

ﬁre determined by the chosen ﬁring mode.

BBSS ENABLED NO BALL

DETECTED

The Ego8 cannot be ﬁred.

BBSS FAULT HAS BEEN

CLEARED

The sensor is enabled. No ball is detected so the

Ego8 cannot be ﬁred. To reset the BBSS icon, use

the button to switch off the BBSS and then

back on again.

BBSS DISABLED

The Ego8 can be ﬁred at a maximum rate of ﬁre as

set by the OFF ROF

parameter (SEE PAGE 36)

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 ﬁre is

limited by the ﬁring mode.

BBSS FAULT DETECTED

The system is disabled. The Ego8 can only be ﬁred

at a maximum rate of ﬁre of 10bps, regardless of

the chosen ﬁring 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 off, the achievable rate of ﬁre is

limited by the OFF ROF parameter (see page 36).

USING YOUR EGO8

UNDERSTANDING THE

AUX OUT INDICATOR

(AOI)

The Aux Out Indicator on the main screen is used to convey if

the Aux Out parameter in the Hardware menu (AUX OUT) is

switched on or off.

There are two possible conditions that the SOI can indicate:

The Trigger Detection Indicator on the main screen is used to

convey both the method of trigger detection in use and the

current state of the trigger.

From the factory the Ego8 will have the opto sensor enabled.

The micro-switch option can be selected by referring to the

HARDWARE Menu (see page 48).

There are seven possible conditions that the TDI can indicate:

MICRO-SWITCH SELECTED,

NOT ACTUATED

The Ego8 is conﬁgured to use the micro-switch

to detect trigger pulls. The micro-switch is not

currently actuated, i.e. the trigger is released

OPTO SENSOR SELECTED,

WITHIN BAND

The Ego8 is conﬁgured to use the opto sensor to

UNDERSTANDING THE

LOCK INDICATOR

The Ego8 has a tournament lock which prevents the user from

making changes to any parameter that affects the way in which

the Ego8 shoots, without the need for tools. This feature is

necessary in order to make the Ego8 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 .

UNDERSTANDING

THE BATTERY LEVEL

INDICATOR

The battery level indicator is used to show the state of the

battery within the Ego8. 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 Ego8 will no longer function reliably,

the indicator will start to ﬂash. At this point the battery must be

changed 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 conﬁgured to start on

a trigger press with the START parameter (see page 31).

When the Game Timer reaches the ALARM time the Gamer Timer

will start to ﬂash and the audible alarm will sound every second,

provided that the optional Ego8 expansion board is ﬁtted and

the BEEPER parameter is set to ‘on’.

When the Game Timer reaches 00:00, GAME OVER will be

displayed and the audible alarm will sound continually, provided

that the optional Ego8 expansion board is ﬁtted and the BEEPER

parameter is 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 Ego8 is switched off.

THE SHOT COUNTER

The Shot Counter increments every time that the Ego8 is ﬁred,

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.

22.

USING YOUR EGO8

THE AVERAGE RATE

OF FIRE

When the Average 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 the last second - the average rate

of ﬁre over the second. The number below it is

the maximum average rate of ﬁre that has been

recorded. To reset this maximum, press and hold

the button for 0.5 seconds.

THE PEAK RATE

OF FIRE

When the Peak ROF is selected for display

the Run Screen will look something like the

screen to the left, which differs from the

display of the Average ROF by the inclusion

of the indicator ‘PK’. The value displayed in

the top left of the screen represents the rate

of ﬁre measured between the last two shots.

The number below it is the maximum peak

rate of ﬁre that has been recorded. To reset

this maximum, press and hold

the button for 0.5seconds.

The Peak ROF is typically higher than the

Average ROF as it is much easier to ﬁre

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 multiple levels of menus. Each menu contains a number of

menu items and each menu item can either be an

editable parameter or a branch to another menu.

Branches always have an animated graphic whereas

parameters indicate their current value.

The menu structure is shown in the following pages.

The menus are ‘smart menus’ in that they will expand and

contract depending upon the state of certain parameters. For

example, the MAX ROF parameter is only visible when the ROF

CAP parameter is set to ‘on’. Smart menu items are indicated with

a * in the table below.

parameter can be set between 4.0 and 15.0 balls per second and

should always be set to the slowest speed of the loading system

in use.

THE RAMP SETTINGS

MENU (RMP SET)

This menu is only available when ramping has been selected

with the MODE parameter and comprises a list of parameters

that control the way in which the Ego8 ramps, as shown below:

36.

ADVANCED SET-UP

THE RAMP TYPE

PARAMETER (TYPE)

This parameter is used to select the ramping style and has the

following choices:-

> STEP:

Step ramping will cause the Ego8 to shoot in

semi-automatic until a number of trigger pulls, set by PULL

NO, have been made at a minimum pull rate, set by KICK IN.

At this point the rate of ﬁre will step up to the maximum rate

of ﬁre as set by MAX ROF (or the maximum loader speed

if the rate of ﬁre cap, ROF CAP is off). Ramping is maintained

as long as the user continues to pull the trigger at a required

rate set by SUSTAIN.

> LINEAR:

Linear ramping will cause the Ego8 to shoot

in semi-automatic until a number of trigger pulls,

set by PULL NO, have been made at a minimum pull rate,

set by KICK IN. At this point the rate of ﬁre will equal the rate

of trigger pulls increased by the percentage speciﬁed by

RATE up to a maximum rate of ﬁre as set by MAX ROF, if the

rate of ﬁre cap is off). Ramping is maintained as long as

the user continues to pull the trigger at a required rate set by

SUSTAIN.

> CANCEL:

Editing is cancelled and no changes are

made to the parameter.

THE LINEAR RAMP

RATE PARAMETER

(RATE)

The parameter is only available when Linear Ramping is selected

and is used to set the percentage increase in rate of ﬁre over rate

of trigger pulls.

For example, if the user is pulling the trigger at a rate of 10 pulls

per second and the RATE parameter is set to 50% then the rate of

ﬁre is 10 plus 50% extra which is 15 balls per second.

This parameter can be set between 0 and 100% in 10%

increments.

THE RAMP START

PARAMETER

(PULL NO)

The parameter sets the number of trigger pulls that are required

at the KICK IN rate before ramping will start. The parameter can

be set between 4 and 9 pulls in increments of 1.

THE RAMP KICK-IN

PARAMETER

(KICK IN)

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 5.0 and 15.0 pulls per second in 0.1 pulls per second

increments.

38.

ADVANCED SET-UP

THE SUSTAIN

RATE PARAMETER

(SUSTAIN)

Once the Ego8 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 5.0 and 15.0 pulls

per second in 0.1 pulls per second increments.

THE RAMP RESTART

PARAMETER

(RESTART)

The RESTART parameter deﬁnes 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 other ramp start conditions have to be met

before ramping will restart. This parameter can be set between

0.0 and 1.0 seconds in 0.1 second increments.

THE TIMING MENU

The parameters on the Timing menu all relate to the timing of

speciﬁc events.

THE DWELL

PARAMETER (DWELL)

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 Ego8. Setting this parameter too low will

result in low velocity shots and/or excessive

shot to shot velocity ﬂuctuations. Setting the

parameter too high will simply waste gas and

make the Ego8 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 Ego8 ‘beds-in’.

THE FIRST SHOT

DROP-OFF

COMPENSATION

PARAMETER (FSDO)

First shot drop off is a reduction in velocity of the ﬁrst shot ﬁred

after an extended period of not ﬁring and is caused by the

stiction between dynamic o-rings and the surfaces that they are

in contact with. In order to compensate for FSDO this parameter

can be set to add extra time to the DWELL parameter for the

ﬁrst shot. This parameter can be set

between 0.0 and 3.0 milliseconds.

40.

ADVANCED SET-UP

THE LIGHT

PARAMETER (LIGHT)

The LCD backlight is illuminated whenever any of the buttons

are pressed on the Ego8. The LIGHT parameter is used to set the

amount of time that the backlight stays lit between 0.0 and 20.0

seconds in 0.5 second increments.

THE SLEEP

PARAMETER (SLEEP)

If the Ego8 is inactive for a period of time then it will

automatically switch off in order to save power. The SLEEP

parameter is used to set that time between 5 and 60 minutes in

5 minute increments.

(EMPTY)

In order for the BBSS to function correctly it must ﬁrst detect

that the bolt is fully retracted and the breech is empty, and then

detect that a paintball is loaded into the breech before the Ego8

is allowed to ﬁre.

Slots or holes in some third party bolts can fool the BBSS and

so this parameter is used to specify a minimum time that the

breech must be empty. The parameter can be set between 1.0

and 20.0ms in 0.5ms increments.

THE BALL

PARAMETER (BALL)

Tumbling paintballs can take time to settle in the breech before

they can be successfully ﬁred. This parameter is used to set the

amount of time that a paintball has to be in the breech before

the Ego8 is allowed to ﬁre. This parameter can be set between

1.0 and 2.0 milliseconds in 0.5ms increments.

THE PULL

PARAMETER (PULL)

The PULL 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 1.0 and 20.0

milliseconds in 0.5 increments.

44.

THE RELEASE

PARAMETER

(RELEASE)

The RELEASE parameter is used to set the minimum amount of

time that the trigger must be released before it is recognised as a

valid trigger release. This parameter can be set between 3.0 and

25.0 milliseconds in 0.1 millisecond increments.

THE BAND HIGH

PARAMETER

(BAND HI)

The BAND HI parameter is only available if OPTO has been

selected in the HARDWARE menu. BAND HI deﬁnes the point at

which the trigger is considered pulled and is adjustbale between

51% and 99% in 1% increments.

THE BAND LOW

PARAMETER

(BAND LO)

The BAND LO parameter is only available if OPTO has been

selected in the HARDWARE menu. BAND LO deﬁnes the point

at which the trigger is considered released and is adjustable

between 1% and 49% in 1% increments.

BASIC TRIGGER

FILTER SET-UP

95% of trigger bounce problems can be eliminated by utilizing

one of the nine ﬁxed DEBOUNCE choices (LEVEL 1-9). In

attempting to eliminate trigger bounce it is advisable to try the

nine ﬁxed DEBOUNCE choices before attempting any advanced

set up of the trigger ﬁlters.

ADVANCED TRIGGER

FILTER SET-UP

In order to optimize the Trigger Filters it is necessary to have

the BAND HI parameter set as high as possible and the BAND LO

parameter set as low as possible:

1. Select the BAND HI parameter. Observe that the graphical bar

rises and falls as the trigger is pulled and released. The actual

value of the graphical bar is displayed in the top right of the

display.

2. Set the REAR STOP TRIGGER SCREW as required, ensuring that

the bar is as close to 100% as possible when the trigger is fully

depressed against the set screw. It is advisable to allow for some

extra travel in the trigger pull once the bar has reached its

maximum value.

3. Adjust the BAND HI parameter so that when the trigger is fully

depressed the bar settles above the indicator on the left hand

side of the screen (SEE PAGE 45).

4. Select the BAND LO parameter. Observe that the graphical bar

rises and falls as the trigger is pulled and released. The actual

value of the graphical bar is displayed in the top right of the

display.

5. Set the FRONT STOP TRIGGER SCREW as equired, ensuring that

the bar is as close to 0% as possible when the trigger is fully

released against the set screw. It is advisable to allow for some

extra travel in the trigger release once the bar has reached its

minimum value.

46.

ADVANCED SET-UP

6. Adjust the BAND LO parameter so that when the trigger is fully

released the bar settles beneath the indicator on the left hand

side of the screen (SEE PAGE 43).

7. Set the MAGNET RETURN STRENGTH SCREW and the Micro

Switch Activation Screw as required, making both the spring

tension and the return force as strong as possible without

compromising the “feel” of the trigger.

Optional (only if TT had been selected in Debounce parameter):

8. Select the TT TOL parameter. With the gun gassed up and

preferably ﬁtted with loader and ﬁring paint, try to get the

marker to bounce by pulling the trigger very slowly. If the

marker bounces, then reduce the TT TOL

value until it no longer does so. If the

marker does not bounce then increase

the TT TOL value until it starts to bounce

and then reduce it again until the

bouncing stops.

Whilst this set up process should

completely eliminate bounce, it may result

in a trigger pull that is not ideally suited to

the user, in which case it will be necessary

to make adjustments to the trigger and

then modify the Trigger Filter parameters

accordingly.

THE TRAINING

PARAMETER

(TRAININ)

The TRAININ parameter is used to select Training Mode. In

Training Mode the Ego8 will function exactly the same as normal

but with two important differences:-

1. The solenoid valve is under - driven so that the rammer only

moves a small amount and does not strike the exhaust valve. This

simulates the ﬁring cycle without wasting air and generating

lots of noise.

2. The BBSS is overridden so that the Ego8 can cycle without

paint. The centre of the BBSS indicator changes to a ‘T’ to indicate

that Training Mode is enabled.

The Training parameter choices are as follows:-

> OFF:

Training Mode is disabled and the Ego8 functions

normally

> ON:

Training Mode is enabled.

> CANCEL:

Cancel editing and leave the parameter

unchanged

NOTE: THE FASTEST WAY TO SHOOT AN EGO8 IS TO WALK THE

TRIGGER WITH TWO OR MORE FINGERS. FEATHERING (NOT FULLY

RELEASING) THE TRIGGER WILL CAUSE THE FILTERING SYSTEM TO

REDUCE THE RATE OF FIRE DOWN IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE WHAT IT

PERCEIVES AS TRIGGER BOUNCE.

QUICK GUIDE

THE HARDWARE MENU

The HARDWARE Menu comprises parameters that control low

level functionality of the Ego8 electronic hardware.

THE TRIGGER

PARAMETER

(TRIGGER)

The Ego8 is ﬁtted with a dual trigger pull detection system. A

non - contact opto-electronic trigger sensor arrangement is used

to detect trigger movement whilst a micro - switch is used to

provide a more traditional tactile feedback for the trigger. The

TRIGGER parameter is used to select which system is used. The

choices available are as follows:-

> OPTO:

Select the Opto sensor for trigger pull detection

> SWITCH:

Select the microswitch for trigger pull

detection

> CANCEL:

Cancel editing and leave the parameter

unchanged

THE BBSS

PARAMETER (BBSS)

This parameter controls the amount of power used by the Break

Beam Sensor System and should normally be left on it’s default

low power setting. However scratches on the surface of either of

the sensors, or the use of some third party sensors, may require

that the BBSS power level be increased. Higher power levels will

cause more drain on the battery. The choices available for this

parameter are:-

> LO POWER:

Low power BBSS drive

> HI POWER:

High power BBSS drive

> CANCEL:

Cancel editing and leave the parameter

unchanged

THE SOLENOID

PARAMETER

(SOLNOID)

This parameter controls the amount of power used by the

pneumatic solenoid and should normally be left at it’s default

low power setting. Cold weather (sub - zero degress Celcius)

will cause lubricants to thicken and increase stiction in the

system which may cause velocity drop - off and/or shot to shot

inconsistancy. Increasing the solenoid power will often help to

eliminate these problems however the higher power level will

cause more drain on the battery. The choices available for the

paramater are:-

> LO POWER:

Low power solenoid drive

> HI POWER:

High power solenoid drive

> CANCEL:

Cancel editing and leave the parameter

unchanged

THE AUX OUT

PARAMETER

The auxiliary output is on a three pin connector in the circuit

board and is used to provide an interface between the Ego8 and

third party equipment such as loaders. The AUX OUT parameter is

used to enable the auxiliary output which pulses every time the

Ego8 is ﬁred. The parameter choices are:-

> OFF:

Auxiliary output off

> ON:

Auxiliary output on

> CANCEL:

Cancel editing and leave the parameter

unchanged

NOTE: If the optional Ego8 expansion board is ﬁtted then the

output on that board is pulsed at the same time as the auxiliary

output.

To correctly assemble the QEV Block it is essential that the

internal components are arranged in the correct order. Using a

cotton bud soaked in Eclipse Oil, lubricate the chambers at both

the back and front of the QEV Block. Referring to FIGURE 17.10,

assemble the QEV Block as shown, ensuring that once the Front

and Rear QEV Caps hold the relevant internals in place they are

secured by the Retainer Clips.

It is Important to pay attention to the orientation of the QEV

Diaphragm and to make sure that they are sat in the correct

position before inserting the end caps. Make sure they are

perfectly square and not tilted over.

You have now successfully stripped and cleaned your QEV Block.

THE EGO8 SOLENOID

ASSEMBLY

Ego8 utilises a purpose built solenoid. Unlike previous Ego

solenoids - the Ego8 solenoid is NON-serviceable and as

such ANY attempt to strip or service your Ego8 solenoid will

immediately void your warranty.

If you experience any issues with your Ego8 solenoid then please

contact your nearest Eclipse Service Center for details on how

to get a replacement Ego8 solenoid. Details of Eclipse Service

Centers can be found (SEE PAGES 70-71) at the back of this

manual or in the Support section online at
