4) Point your

marker in a safe direction and fire several times to

be sure there are no balls lodged in the chamber and

/ or barrel.

❏

5) Visually inspect the CycloneTM Feeder and

chamber for paintballs.

2. Remove The Air Supply - To remove a charged

air supply cylinder:

❏

1)

Turn the cylinder approximately 3/4 of a turn

counterclockwise or out. This allows the air

supply pin valve to close so that no air will enter

the marker.

❏

2)

Point the marker in a safe direction and

discharge the remaining gas in the marker by

pulling the trigger until the marker stops firing. This

may take 4-5 shots.

If your marker continues to

fire the tank pin valve has not closed yet (because

of the variances in tank pin valve parts, each tank

varies slightly on exactly how far it should be

turned) and

❏

you will have to turn the tank

counterclockwise a little further and repeat

step-2) until the marker does not fire,

❏

then

remove the tank.

NOTE: If you turned the tank and it began to leak

before you pulled the trigger the tank o-ring should

be checked for damage before reassembly.

6) Changing Special Firing Modes - To

change the Special Firing Mode - follow the

instructions in the Advanced User Programming

Section on page 2.

Double Trigger Kit (Optional, not included with X7TM E-GripTM Kit)

If installing a double trigger into the E-GripTM, it may

be necessary to use the magnet from the single trigger

that came with this kit if the double trigger does not

have a magnet. Before removing the magnet from

your single trigger, be sure to take note of which side

of the trigger has the red dot on the magnet. The

magnet will need to be inserted into the double trigger

in the same orientation into opening . The red

dot should be visible if the magnet is inserted into

the double trigger shown in the orientation of the

trigger as shown.

The trigger slider/spring will need to be removed before

installing the double trigger into the E-GripTM. This can be accomplished

by removing pins and from the double trigger. This will allow the

trigger slider and spring to be removed from the trigger.

IMPORTANT: Keep these instructions for future reference.

Menu Items-Dwell, DebounceTM, 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-GripTM. If this is changed to a value less than 8 milli-seconds, your E-

GripTM 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.

DebounceTM - (Factory Default Value = 50 milli-seconds) The DebounceTM

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 DebounceTM 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.

Step 2: Choosing a menu item

The four menu items contained in the Advanced User Programming menu

are Dwell, DebounceTM , Rate-of-fire, and Special Firing Mode. Each of these

menu items has a corresponding color code as follows.

1. Solid Red - Dwell

2. Solid Green - DebounceTM

3. Flashing Green - Rate of fire

4. Alternating Red/Green - Special Firing Mode

❏ ❏

❏ ❏

❏

1) Cycling through the menu - To cycle through the menu, pull and

release the trigger. Each time the trigger is pulled and released, a different

color will be displayed on the LED in accordance with the list above.

❏ ❏

❏ ❏

❏

2) Enter a menu option - Once the LED displays the color of the menu

item that is needed, pull and hold the trigger for two seconds.

❏ ❏

❏ ❏

❏

3) Current Value - Upon entering a menu item, the LED will begin to

flash red. The flashes represent the current menu value. The current value

will be flashed twice with a short pause between the number flashes. If a

new value is not entered before the end of the second value display, the

electronics will automatically return to the main menu.

❏ ❏

❏ ❏

❏

4) Enter a new value - At any time while the menu is flashing the LED in

accordance with its current value, a new value can be entered by pulling

and releasing the trigger. Each pull and release of the trigger will count as a

1 when entering the new value. Example: To enter a number 5, pull and

release the trigger five times. Once the user is done entering the value,

release the trigger.

❏ ❏

❏ ❏

❏

5) Successfully updated menu confirmation - Once the user has

entered an a new value for a menu item, the LED will flash red/orange/

green twice to signify an acceptable value has been entered. The electronics

will then return to the main menu. If an unacceptable value has been entered,

the LED will quickly flash red and return to the main menu. The value of the

menu item will not be updated if this happens.

❏ ❏

❏ ❏

❏

6) Power off - Once a menu item has been changed, the user must

power-off the electronics before the change will take effect. Hold the power

button for 2 seconds. The LED will change to solid red. Release the power

button and the electronics will power off.

❏ ❏

❏ ❏

❏

7) Optional: Factory settings reset - A factory settings reset can be

accomplished by pressing and holding the power button for 10 seconds.

The board will appear to power on normally, but after 10 seconds, the LED

will flash red/orange/green twice, then the board will power-off. All factory

settings will be reset at this point.
