Introduction Congratulations and Thank You for purchasing The Quest Paintball marker. In this manual you will find useful information for setting up, adjusting, and maintaining your The Quest paintball marker. Should you have any additional questions feel free to give us a call at the number found at the end of this manual. First Endeavor Paintball, Inc. has made every effort to make sure your experiences with The Quest are trouble free and enjoyable.
Trigger Adjustment The Quest is equipped with a triple adjustable trigger. The firing point, stopping point, and magnetic return can all be adjusted as follow. Firing point – Adjust the firing point by inserting a 1/16” allen wrench into the bottom trigger adjustment screw seen in the trigger. To shorten the firing point, turn the screw clockwise. To lengthen the firing point, turn the screw counter-clockwise.
LED Colors and Meanings The Equalizer uses the LED to tell the user when certain events are occurring. This is a breakdown of what the LED colors represent: Blinking Green (once per second) – Normal operation, anti-chop system is enabled, Eye Mode 1 (rate of fire capped at user preset). Blinking Green (twice per second) – Normal operation, anti-chop system is enabled, Eye Mode 2 (unlimited rate of fire, monitors bolt). Blinking Yellow – Normal operation, anti-chop system is disabled.
Red – Dwell programming mode. Green – Debounce™ programming mode. Yellow – Eye Mode programming mode. Blue – Ball In Place (BIP) Delay™ programming mode. Purple – Rate of Fire (ROF) cap programming mode. Teal – Eye Power programming mode. White – Firing mode. Once you have reached the last feature (Firing Mode), an additional trigger pull will start the sequence of colors over again.
Each feature and its programming are described in detail below: Dwell – Trigger programming for changing the dwell is different than any other feature as there are two steps involved instead of one due to allowing for .1ms (tenths) increments. After selecting the Dwell programming feature, and once the LED stops flashing, you can now pull and release the trigger once for every full 1ms of time you want the dwell to be.
BIP Delay™ – Pull and release the trigger once for every 1ms of time you want the setting to be. For example, if you were programming the BIP Delay™ to 5ms, you would pull and release the trigger 5 times. The default BIP Delay™ setting is 3ms. ROF Cap – Pull and release the trigger once for each number of times you want the Rate of Fire (ROF) cap to be. For example, 20 pulls/releases would be 20 bps. The ROF cap is only used with Eye Mode 1. In Eye Mode 2, the rate of fire is unlimited.
Terminology Dwell – is the amount of time that the solenoid will be activated. This time is measured in milliseconds (1/1000th of a second). Possible values are from 6.0ms to 50.0ms. Changes are made in .1ms units via the trigger. Increasing your Dwell will increase the velocity of your marker only if the LPR is set too low (which will result in inconsistent chrono results). Due to the design of The Quest, an excessively long dwell will not increase the velocity (only make it more stable).
The BIP Delay™ – is a feature that allows you to adjust for the differences in hopper feed rates. When using a slower gravity-feed loader or if the eye sensor is not installed correctly, it may be necessary to have a longer BIP Delay™ to prevent balls from being chopped. Possible values are from 1ms to 50ms. Changes are made in 1ms units. ROF Cap – sets the maximum cycle speed of the marker when Eye Mode 1 is used. Setting this value to low will reduce the usable speed of the marker.
The Quest is a very unique marker design. When the bolt is fully in the back or the front position, it should never leak or otherwise transfer air through the bolt. The only time air is transferred to the bolt assembly (to expel a ball) is while the bolt is in the forward motion, moving from the back to the front position.
