Person under 18 must have adult supervision.
W A R N I N G IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES • Never shoot the REFLEX RAIL™ marker at velocities in excess of 300 feet per second, or at velocities greater than local or national laws allow. • Never look into the barrel or breech area of the REFLEX RAIL™ when the marker is switched on and able to fire. • Compressed gas is dangerous, do not allow compressed gas to come in contact with your skin or try to stop a leak by covering it with your hand.
QUICK REFERENCE USING YOUR MARKER QUICK START UP GUIDE Before playing with your new REFLEX RAIL™ paintball marker there are a few important steps to take. STEP 1. BATTERY INSTALLATION A. Remove three right hand side grip panel screws with a 3/32” Allen key. B. Open grip panel and install 9V battery into the connector inside the frame. Note the markings on the board above the battery terminals that indicate which of the board contacts are positive and negative and install the battery accordingly. C.
QUICK REFERENCE USING YOUR MARKER STEP 4. ATTACHING GAS SOURCE A. Make sure that then knob on the front of the ON/OFF airport is in the OFF position, do this by turning the knob clockwise or down. Now screw in your air system to the ON/OFF airport and turn the knob of the airport counter clockwise all the way to the locked position, to turn the gas supply on. STEP 5. TURNING ON THE RAIL™ AND CHECKING THE VELOCITY Turning on the REFLEX RAIL™ and checking the velocity A.
REFLEX RAIL™ BOARD SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS TURNING THE REFLEX RAIL™ ON AND OFF To turn on the REFLEX RAIL™, press and hold the power button until the LED’s turn blue. The blue light indicates board boot up. After the boot up sequence, the LED’s will turn either RED (no ball) or GREEN (ball in breach, ready to fire). To turn the REFLEX RAIL™ off, press and hold the power button until the LED’s turn off. NOTE: The REFLEX RAIL™ automatically switches off after 10 minutes of non-use.
RAIL™ BOARD SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS When you turn on the marker in normal operation mode with the power button, the light colors mean the following: Blue Red Green Blinking Red Blinking Green Blinking Blue - Boot sequence Breech is clear, no ball detected inside the REFLEX RAIL™ (eye is on) Ball in breech, ready to fire (eye on) Eye is turned off Eye failure, eye is blocked or dirty (see REFLEX RAIL™ Eye, page 26) Indicates a low battery; battery should be changed as soon as possible NOTE: The eye is alway
REFLEX RAIL™ BOARD SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS BOARD SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION MODE FIGURE 1 There are five settings you can alter on the RAIL™ board with the DIP switches inside the grip frame (see figure 1): ABS Anti Bolt Stick. Trigger Sensitivity This setting adjusts the delay between two trigger pulls. Dwell This is the time the solenoid is activated for. Rate Of Fire This setting is for adjusting the maximum rate of fire. Firing Mode This is the firing mode the REFLEX RAIL™ uses.
REFLEX RAIL™ BOARD SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS 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 2 to the ON position. Next, turn your marker on. The LED’s cycle 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 4 settings that can be changed.
REFLEX RAIL™ BOARD SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS GREEN - Trigger Sensitivity Values 1 - 20 (factory default 3) Trigger sensitivity is the amount of time that the trigger has to be released before the next trigger pull is allowed. In some situations with too low of a value, the REFLEX RAIL™ can register more trigger than what was actually pulled. This can cause the REFLEX RAIL™ to auto, even in semi-automatic mode. To fix this, adjust the trigger sensitivity setting higher.
REFLEX RAIL™ BOARD SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS BLUE - Rate Of Fire (ROF) Values 1 - 45 The ROF setting is used to set the maximum rate of fire of the RAIL™. The values do not correspond directly to a certain Balls Per Second (BPS) value. You will need to use the table below to locate your desired maximum ROF setting. The factory setting is 20 (12.5 bps). 9.80 BPS 10 10.75 BPS 19 12.34 BPS 28 13.88 BPS 37 15.87 BPS 2 9.90 BPS 11 10.86 BPS 20 12.50 BPS 29 14.08 BPS 38 16.12 BPS 3 10.0 BPS 12 10.
TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTING YOUR TRIGGER FIGURE 1 1 The trigger’s forward and over travel, spring tension, and reach are fully adjustable so that you can fine-tune the trigger to your exact liking. You do not need to remove the frame or grip from the gun in order to adjust the trigger pull. There are two adjustment screws located on the right side of the Ultralite™ frame and one adjustment screw behind the trigger.
• To make the trigger pull stiffer, turn the Allen wrench clockwise or in. • To make the trigger pull lighter, turn the Allen wrench counterclockwise or out. TO ADJUST TRIGGER REACH (SEE FIGURE 1) To adjust, simply loosen the two 6-32 screws (4) using a 1/16” Allen wrench. You do not have to remove the screws from the trigger. Now the front of the trigger (shown in green) should rotate freely while the back of the trigger remains relatively stationary.
REFLEX RAIL™ BOLT ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE The REFLEX RAIL™ BOLT is the main component of the REFLEX RAIL™ marker. In order to achieve the best possible performance of the REFLEX RAIL™ it is essential that the REFLEX RAIL™ BOLT is kept clean, well lubed and in good working order. The REFLEX RAIL™ BOLT should be cleaned and re-lubed after each day of use. There are 4 parts in the REFLEX RAIL™ BOLT kit that mount together as one unit.
REFLEX RAIL™ BOLT ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE inside the supply chamber causes the bolt to start moving forward. Once the bolt has moved about half way forward, the tail of the bolt closes the input into the supply chamber. Once the Bolt reaches the forward point, the valve of the REFLEX RAIL™ Bolt is opened and air inside the supply chamber goes through the Bolt and fires the paintball. After this the solenoid is deactivated and gas is supplied through the solenoid back into the Can.
REFLEX RAIL™ BOLT ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE The basic maintenance for the REFLEX RAIL™ BOLT is to clean all surfaces of dirt, broken paint or other debris, check for any wear and tear on the O-rings and change them if needed, and finally applying a thin coat of DYE Slick Lube on all surfaces. Before installing the REFLEX RAIL™ BOLT back to the REFLEX RAIL™ marker check that the bolt moves freely without a lot of friction and make sure all pieces are threaded together snugly.

LOADERS AND FEED NECK LOADERS AND FEED NECK To achieve the maximum performance of the REFLEX RAIL™ you will need to use a motorized loader that force-feeds paintballs into the REFLEX RAIL™ marker, preferably the Rotor™ Loader. Using a slower motorized loader or a non-motorized loader will work, but the rate of fire and performance will be reduced. TO FIT A LOADER ONTO THE REFLEX RAIL™: The Cam Lever Feedneck is adjustable to fit any standard loader.
AIR/NITROGEN AIR / NITROGEN TANK OPTIONS AND INSTALLATION The REFLEX RAIL™ will only work with Compressed air or Nitrogen air systems such as the DYE Throttle® air system. Do not use CO2 or any other compressed gas. The output pressure from the air system has to be between 400 – 850psi. To install an air system, screw the tank into the airport all the way as far as it will go. To remove the air system screw out. There will be gas leaking for a few seconds while you screw the air system out.
HYPER3™ IN-LINE REGULATOR ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT The velocity of the RAIL™ is adjusted by adjusting the input pressure into the RAIL™. This is controlled with the Hyper3™ regulator. The Hyper3™ on the RAIL™ is factory set to 150 psi which will give you a velocity of about 285 FPS (Feet per Second). A 3⁄16” allen key will be needed for this operation. Turning the adjustment screw in (clockwise) will decrease the pressure, and out (counterclockwise) will increase the pressure.
HYPER3™ IN-LINE REGULATOR ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE HYPER3™ REGULATOR DIS-ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS To disassemble the Hyper3™ regulator you will need a 3⁄16” Allen key and a 5⁄16” Allen key. Place the 3⁄16” Allen key inside the top cap and the 5⁄16” Allen key inside the bottom cap. Unscrew the bottom cap from the Hyper3™ body. Next unscrew the brass seat housing from the body with a 3⁄16” Allen key. Slide the swivel from the body.
ANTI CHOP EYES/ BALL DETENTS MAINTENANCE AND CHANGING ANTI CHOP EYES The Anti Chop Eye (ACE) system will prevent the RAIL™ 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.
ANTI CHOP EYES/ BALL DETENTS MAINTENANCE AND CHANGING For a more thorough cleaning, pull the Eye Pipe with the ball detents out the front of the breech. With the Eye Pipe out use a swab to clean the breech. This should be enough to clean the eye system. If the system needs further cleaning, pull out the eye carrier and eye wires through the feed neck. To prevent damaging the eye wires, it is best to remove the frame and disconnect the eye wires from the board.
AIRPORT ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE ON/OFF AIRPORT DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY REMOVE PIN HOUSING ASSEMBLY To disassemble the UL™ airport use the airport tool included on the DYE Multi-Tool (available separately). • Insert the airport tool into the Pin Housing and turn counterclockwise 3-4 revolutions. Note that the airport lever must be in the OFF position for the tool to grab the housing. Remove housing out of the airport body.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE AIR LEAKS change the #011 O-ring on the outside of the cap. • If the leak comes from the small hole in the middle of the regulator then consult a trained technician before attempting to disassemble the Hyper3 regulator. AIR LEAKING FROM THE AIRPORT • Check the o-ring on the air system. If needed change the O-ring and try again. The O-ring normally used is an 015/70 but some manufacturers might use a different size. Consult the manual of the air system you are using.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE leak is coming from this hole, remove screw and apply thread sealant to it. Make sure to tighten the screw well and wait for sealant to dry before re-gassing marker. • Re-assemble and test. If problems persist, contact authorized service center. EYES WILL NOT WORK, LED KEEPS BLINKING GREEN • Check that the eye wire is properly connected to the board. • Change the battery. The eyes are normally the first thing to stop working when a battery is dying. • Next try to clean the eyes.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE TRIGGER BOUNCE / REFLEX RAIL™ SHOOTING MORE THAN ONE BALL PER PULL IN SEMI AUTOMATIC MODE • Raise the trigger sensitivity level in the configuration mode. • Check that the trigger is not adjusted too short. • Make sure there is a trigger spring inside the frame. • • • • ERRATIC VELOCITY / REFLEX RAIL™ WON’T FIRE REFLEX RAIL™ FIRES BUT BALLS ARE DROPPING OFF OR NOT EVEN COMING OUT OF THE BARREL • Make sure the battery is good. • Raise the dwell to factory level (18).
