Low Battery Indicator
When the battery begins to lose power, the LED (see Figure 6) stops flashing green, and
G
changes to flashing red. While performance may vary while the LED is flashing red, the
L
electronics will still function under this condition until the battery has lost power to the point
I
that it will not cycle the firing system. When this happens you can move the Selector Switch
S
to F mode and fire the marker in mechanical mode (one shot per pull of the trigger).
: The Electronics will not automatically shut off. Be sure to put the Selector Switch in
NOTE
H
Safe mode when not in use to preserve battery life.
Changing the Firing Mode
Put the Selector Switch in FA mode. Press and hold the Programming button for ½ second
to advance to the next firing mode. The button is below flush and must be pushed with a
pin or your ⅛" allen wrench as shown in Figure 6. The LED
flashes orange to represent the number of the Firing mode as
listed on page 9. The Factory Default Value is 2 flashes (Safe
Full-Auto).
Advanced Programming
There are several programming options which affect the
operation of your Tippmann X7 Phenom marker. The
Advanced Programming has been designed to allow users
the maximum amount of customizing possible. There are four
menu items available in the Advanced Programming Menu:
Dwell, Debounce, Rate-of-fire, and Firing mode. Each menu
item has a corresponding color code as follows:
•
Solid Red - Dwell
•
Solid Green - Debounce
•
Flashing Green - Rate of fire
•
Alternating Red/Solid Green - Firing mode
Programming Menus
This section discusses the four menu items in detail, so that the user fully understands the
purpose and use of each menu item.
- (Factory Default Value = 8 milliseconds) The Dwell menu item is used to change
Dwell
the amount of time that power is supplied to the solenoid. The solenoid is the part of the
electronics which actually contacts the Trigger Lever of the marker, allowing it to fire. This
setting directly affects the battery life. If this is changed to a value less than 8 milliseconds,
your battery will last longer, but this may not allow the solenoid enough time to fire the
marker properly. If this value is set greater than 8 milliseconds, the solenoid will have power
supplied to it for a longer time, reducing 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 values
of 2-20 milliseconds.
- (Factory Default Value = 52 milliseconds) The Debounce menu item is used
Debounce
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
that can be accepted. If a Debounce setting is too low, a user may shoot more times than
expected. This is explained by what is called "Trigger Bounce." When a paintball marker is
fired, the marker moves and vibrates in the user's hand. This vibration sometimes allows the
trigger to reset itself and trip without the user realizing that their finger has actually moved.
This menu item can only be updated with values of 25-65 milliseconds.
