QUICK REFERENCE - Using your marker Air Supply - The DM5 should be operated using air/nitrogen gas only. This air needs to be supplied to the Hyper2 in-line regulator at a regulated pressure of no more than 800 psi. The Hyper2 in-line regulator comes factory preset at 175psi. Turning On Your DM5 - The DM5’s power is controlled by a simple two button membrane pad. The top button turns the marker on and off, while the bottom button turns the eye on and off.
WARNING IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The DM5 marker is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or death. Please read, understand and follow the directions in the DM5 owner’s manual. Eye protection that is designed specifically for paintball and meets ASTM/CE standards must be worn by user and persons within range. Recommend 18 years or older to purchase. Person under 18 must have adult supervision.
DM5 BOARD - Settings and Functions TURNING THE DM5 ON AND OFF To turn on the DM5, press and hold the power button (see figure 1) until the LED light turns blue. The blue light indicates board bootup. After the bootup sequence, the LED will turn either RED (no ball) or GREEN (ball ready to fire). To turn the DM5 off, press and hold the power button until the LED turns off. NOTE: The DM5 automatically switches off after 10 minutes of non-use.
DM5 BOARD - Settings and Functions (continued) BOARD SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION MODE There are five settings you can alter on the DM5 board with the DIP switches inside the grip frame ABS Eye Sensitivity Trigger Sensitivity Dwell ROF Anti Bolt Stick - (see figure 2): Anti Bolt Stick. This setting changes how long the eye waits for the ball to set into the breech. This setting adjusts the delay between two trigger pulls. This is the time the solenoid is activated for.
DM5 BOARD - Settings and Functions (continued) Configuration Mode - The following settings can only be modified in configuration mode. To activate the configuration mode, turn your marker off and set DIP switch 4 to the on position. Next, turn your marker on. The 3-color LED cycles through all colors for one second to indicate that you have entered the configuration mode. To cycle through different settings, pull and release the trigger. Configuration mode has 3 settings that can be changed.
DM5 BOARD - Settings and Functions (continued) CHECKING CONFIGURATIONS You can check your DIP switch configuration by pulling and holding the trigger when you turn the marker on. Hold the trigger until the LED starts flashing. Red indicates the eye sensitivity setting and blue the anti bolt stick (ABS) setting (1 flash = off and 2 flashes = on). For example, if your eye sensitivity is 3 and ABS is ON then the LED will flash red three times and blue two times.
FUSE ™ BOLT - Assembly and Maintenance 1 2 3 FUSE BOLT OPERATION 4 To achieve top performance from your DM5, it is important to understand the basic operation of the DM5’s patented FUSE bolt system. This design consists of three sleeves threaded together to capture the only moving part of the system, the bolt. The FUSE Bolt has four components 1 Cylinder 2 Bolt 3 Top Hat 4 Rear Cap Figure 1 WARNING When servicing your marker: • Make sure your hopper is removed from the DM5.
FUSE ™ BOLT - Assembly and Maintenance (continued) BOLT MAINTENANCE Regular DM5 Fuse bolt maintenance is vital to the performance of the DM5. If the Fuse bolt is not kept well-greased and the o-rings in good shape, the performance of the DM5 will be greatly hindered. To remove the bolt, you will need a 1/4“ Allen wrench. Unscrew the bolt from the rear of the marker (see figure 1). It only takes one and one half revolutions to unscrew the bolt so that it can be pulled out.
LPR (LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR) - Adjustments and Maintenance 5 9 5 5 2 6 8 1 3 7 4 LPR ASSEMBLY, CLEANING, TESTING AND CHANGING SEALS The Low-Pressure Regulator (LPR) is located in the lower back of the DM5 (see figure 1). The function of the LPR is to lower the air pressure supplied to the marker by the in-line, before it reaches the solenoid. This pressure is used to move the bolt forward and back. The factory setting is 75 PSI. You can fine tune your DM5 to its minimum cycle pressure.
ON/OFF VALVE - Maintenance and Changing O-rings 1 2 2 ON/OFF: USAGE AND CHANGING O-RINGS The On/Off knob is located under the barrel in the front of the DM5 (see figure 2). Using the on/off is simple. To turn the gas off, turn the knob so that is is facing sideways. If you had gas inside the marker, it will bleed out. To turn the gas on, turn the knob so that it faces vertically.
HYPER 2 IN-LINE REGULATOR - Adjustments and Maintenance 5 3 4 1 7 2 8 6 9 USAGE Carefully connect your air hose from your bottle or air system to the Hyper 2 In-Line. The Hyper 2 In-Line is set by the factory to approximately 170psi. This pressure should give you a velocity of approximately 285fps. ADJUSTMENTS The output pressure of the Hyper 2 In-Line is adjusted by turning the brass seat housing. The seat housing screw is located up inside the bottom of the reg.
ANTI CHOP EYES/ BALL DETENTS - Maintenance and Changing ANTI CHOP EYES The Anti Chop Eye (ACE) system will prevent the DM5 from chopping paint by not allowing the marker to fire until a ball is fully seated in front of the bolt. The eyes use a beam across the breech. On one side there is a transmitter, and on the opposite side a receiver. In order for the marker to fire with the eyes turned on, the signal between the two eyes must be broken.
TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTING YOUR TRIGGER The trigger’s forward travel and over travel are fully adjustable so that the user can fine-tune the trigger to his or her exact liking. You do not need to remove the frame from the gun in order to adjust the trigger pull. • The two adjustment screws are located on the right side of the frame above the trigger guard • Use a 5/64” Allen wrench to make the desired adjustments. • The screw toward the front of the trigger controls the forward travel.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE DM5 TROUBLE SHOOTING AIR LEAK BETWEEN THE FRAME AND BODY First remove the frame and try to pinpoint the source of the leak: If it comes from the small hole under the LPR, you need to remove your LPR. The cause of the leak is either one of the #015 o-rings on the outside of the LPR or the #006 o-ring found inside the LPR (see page 10). If it comes from somewhere around the solenoid, the first thing to do is to turn the on/off knob to the off position.
