w w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m This paintball marker is not a toy. Misuse or mishandling can result in serious injury or death. Every person within range of a loaded paintball gun must wear eye protection specifically designed for paintball. Recommended at least 18 years of age to purchase, 14 years old to use with adult supervision or 10 years old to use on paintball fields meeting ASTM standards F1777-97. Ensure you read entire instruction manual before operating your Protege .
w w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m WARRANTY Marker Warranty Bob Long Technologies warrantees our markers against manufacturing defects. Electrical components are warranted for a period of 90 days. All solenoids and wire harnesses are tested for function prior to leaving our factory. Solenoids and wire harnesses will only be warranted at the discretion of Bob Long Technologies. Only use factory authorized lubricants when maintaining your marker.
w w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m The time-tested Intimidator platform has a new brother—the Protege. Beginning in 2000 with the release of the Classic Intimidator, Bob Long set the bar high with the first marker to feature breakbeam anti-chop eyes, dual regulation, an integrated drop forward, two piece barrel, and gradient anodizing in several patterns in one marker—in one affordable package.
w w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m 4C ENHANCING EYE SYSTEM 4C System Enhancing Eyes Theory and Functionality For years, high performance paintball markers have minimized paintball breakage by using a break-beam infrared sensor system commonly known as “eyes”. These eye systems are traditionally positioned at the bottom of a markers breech.
w w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m 4C “Play by Play” Here is a more detailed description of how the 4C System Enhancing Eyes work. The time it takes for a markers bolt to move back past sensors toward final open position, allowing a paintball to fall, will be recorded. The time it takes for the next paintball to pass by the top sensor while falling will be recorded.
w w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m Air Supply: Much like any other tournament marker, the Protege requires the use of compressed air or nitrogen only. The Protege is compatible with both high-pressure and low-pressure compressed air systems. If using an adjustable-output air system, set the system’s output between 400 and 500 psi. Screwing your preset air system into the ASA at the bottom of the grip will pressurize the marker, preparing it for use.
MARKER ELECTRONICS w w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m Congratulations! Your marker comes with one of the most technologically advanced circuit boards ever made for any paintball marker. The following instructions and diagrams will teach you how to unleash the potential of the Frenzy 3.0 to let you squeeze every drop of performance out of your Protege. Basic 0perations To power on marker: Press power button once and release. To turn eyes off: Pull and hold trigger while powering on marker.

w w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m 360 ˚ Inline Regulator: Your Protege comes equipped with one of the best high pressure regulators on the market. To ensure the best consistency and the highest flow possible, it is recommended that you clean and relubricate the HPR according to the maintenance schedule. HPR Maintenance: • Degas the marker and ensure that there are no paintballs in the breech or barrel of the marker.
Protege Low Pressure w Regulator: w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m Your Protege comes equipped with one of the best low pressure regulators on the market. To ensure the best consistency and the highest flow possible, it is recommended that you clean and relubricate the low according to the maintenance schedule. LPR Maintenance: • Degas your marker and ensure that there are no paintballs in the breech or barrel of the marker.
w w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m Poppet Maintenance: • Degas the marker and ensure that there are no paintballs in the breech or barrel of the marker. • Remove your macroline hose from the 90˚ fitting on your regulator • Unscrew your regulator from the Protege vertical adaptor, and set the vertical regula tor down. • Grasp the low pressure regulator to ensure that it does not eject from the marker upon removal of its retaining screw.
w w w . B o b L o n g D i r e c t . c o m 1 Anti Chop Eye Maintenace: In the event of a chopped ball or debris in the breech, your Protege eyes may need cleaning. • Remove the eye cover screw, and remove the eye cover. • Carefully unscrew the PCB retaining screw • Gently lift the eye PCB away from the body of the marker. • Unplug the main harness from the eye PCB (be careful to not pull on the wires—this could potentially damage your harness and\ or eye PCB) • Remove the eye PCB for cleaning.

Marker will not turn on out of the box— Ensure that the battery that you’re using in your new marker is a high quality alkaline 9 volt. Verify that your battery is correctly oriented (matching with the correct terminals), and that it is making firm contact with the prongs on the circuit board. Make sure that the wiring harness is correctly inserted into the receptacle, and that the on\off pad is making contact with the switch on the circuit board.
Marker is leaking from the vertical regulator\HPR— If the leak is coming from the macroline elbow, make sure that the macroline fitting has been secured to the regulator with factory approved thread-sealant (NOT TEFLON TAPE) and that the macroline hose has not been cut unevenly. Also, ensure that you’re using a low-pressure HPA system, and that your regulator is outputting the correct amount.
