Battery Information
The MARQ uses a standard 9v battery. To change the battery, remove the Left Rubber Grip Panel. You’ll
notice the battery fits into the bottom of the Trigger Frame. Remove the old battery and insert the new battery.
CAUTION!
At this time you’ll want to verify that no screws are protruding through the bottom of the grip and into
the interior components. Failure to do so may result in damage to the battery and/or Circuit Board.

Chop Eyes
*
The MARQ incorporates a break beam Anti-Chop Eye system, commonly referred to as the ACE system.
The ACE system consists of a set of sensors mounted near the bottom of the breech to restrict firing until
a paintball is completely loaded into the breech. Always operate the MARQ with the eyes ON. Failure to
do so will more than likely result in broken paintballs in the breech. The Transmitter Eye is located on
the right side of the Marker and has a 2-Wire Harness. The Receiver Eye is located on the left side of the
Marker and has a 4-Wire Harness. Both Eyes run onto a single wiring harness that connects directly to
the board. Always inspect ACE System wiring and harness upon removal to ensure there is no damage
present. If there is damage to either the wiring and/or harness, the Eyes and/or harness should be replaced
to ensure the ACE system does not fail during operation.
* The MARQ was designed to incorporate the first ever Smart 4-Eye Anti-Chop Eye System. This system
was developed by Bob Long to make the Marker-to-Loader interface more seamless than ever thought
possible. The first set of eyes is positioned at the base of the feedneck while the second set is positioned
directly below, at the bottom of the breech. This Smart System times the loader’s feedrate in order to precisely
calculate when a paintball will be fully seated in the breech. This eliminates the Ball-In-Place Delay normally
implemented in the standard 2-Eye Systems and accelerates firing speeds. This System is an upgrade
and can be purchased through B.L.A.S.T. Simply call [phone] to order.

LED
]
The MARQ Series Marker features a Multi-Color LED that indicates the operational Status of the Marker. Once
powered up, the LED on the rear of the Trigger Frame will flash Green, indicating the Marker is ready for operation.
Depending on the particular Eye System of your MARQ, the LED will flash a certain color once paintballs are
loaded into the Breech. See the chart below for details.
The default Eye Sensor setting on the MARQ’s is FORCE. To disable Eyes, hold in trigger while powering up until the LED flashes Green.
To set the Eyes on Delay Mode Hold in the Trigger, press the On/Off Button and release Trigger, allowing the Board to fully boot.
The LED blinks Green upon fully powering up regardless of Eye System status.
