CLEANING THE EYE-SENSOR BREAK BEAM SYSTEM

The function of the break beam sensor eyes is to allow the

ring circuit to ‘time’ the activation of the solenoid. This

prevents ‘chopping’ of paint, which is caused by the bolt cycling

within the breech without the paintball being actually seated in

the proper ring position. When the eye sensors are ON, the

gun will not re if the beam does not sense a paintball. To

ensure proper function, the eye sensors should be cleaned

after every other use, or when paintballs have been broken

within the marker. More frequent cleaning may be necessary

when using paintballs that have ‘oily residue’ on the surface

of the shell. To avoid malfunction, always use fresh and clean

paint from a reliable manufacturer.

To clean the eyes:

1. Locate the eye cover plates on either side of your FX

body. 

2. Using provided allen key wrench (5/64”), carefully remove

the eye cover screw on one side by inserting ball point tip

and turning wrench handle counterclockwise.

5. With a cotton swab, gently wipe the back and front side of

the eye sensor and the eye socket to remove any debris

or residue. 

6. Replace eye sensors back to original position. Be sure

the eyes are aligned correctly and facing the direction of

the breech.

7. Replace eye cover plate in original position and gently

tighten eye cover screws clockwise. DO NOT OVER-

TIGHTEN! 

8. Repeat the same procedure on the other side.

HELPFUL HINT
