The Etek Ego utilises multi coloured LEDs to display all of the information
that the user requires via the Etek Egos Control Console.
Each area of the Control Console is used to perform different
functions and display different information as outlined below:
The Select Pushbutton is used to:
-SwitchtheEtekEgoOnandOff.
-SwitchtheBBSS(eyesystem)OnandOff.
-ToentertheSet-UpMode.
-Toscrollthroughparametersandeditparameters.
The “E” on the Control Console is used to:
-DisplaythestatusoftheBBSS(eyesystem).
-DisplaythevalueofaparameterinTens(10-90)
The “G” on the Control Console is used to:
-DisplaythevalueofaparameterinUnits(0-9)
-Displaythestatusofthebattery.
The “O” on the Control Console is used to:
-DisplaythevalueofaparameterinTenths(0.0-0.9)
As a combined unit the “E”, “G” and “O” are also used to:
-Displaypowerupandpowerdownstatus.
-Displaytournamentlockstatus.
-DisplaythatFactorysettingshavebeenrestored
-Toconrmwhetheraparametervaluehasbeenacceptedorrejected.

The Etek Ego displays the status of the Break Beam Sensor System using
the “E” area of the Control Console as follows:
Any changes to the Breech Sensor Status will be displayed immediately.
This provides valuable feedback to the user.
An example of this is when you are shooting a string of shots with the BBSS
enabled, the “E” on the Control Console will alternate in colour from Yellow
(nopaintballdetected)toBlue(paintballdetected).Inthisinstancetoomuch
yellow would indicate that your chosen loader cannot keep up with how fast
youareshootingandisconsequentlyslowingdownyourrateofre.
The BBSS is able to switch itself off in the event that a blockage or
contamination prevents it from functioning correctly.This is represented
byadoubleashingredlightinthe“E”areaoftheControlConsole.The
Etek’sROFwillbecappedat10bps.Inthisinstance,theBBSSwillswitch
itself back on once the blockage is cleared and the correct operation of the
BBSS can then be resumed.

When using your Etek Ego, you may wish to change the velocity at which
yourEtekEgoisring.Thisisdonebyinsertinga1/8th"hexkeyintothe
adjuster screw at the bottom of your Etek Ego Inline regulator and adjusting it
accordingly (sEE figurE 3.10). By turning this adjuster screw clockwise
you decrease the output pressure of the inline regulator and consequently
the velocity, by turning the adjuster screw counter clockwise you increase
the output pressure of the inline regulator and consequently the velocity.

When using your Etek Ego, you may wish to change the output pressure
ofyourLPR.Thisiseasilydonebyinsertinga5/32nd"inchhexkeyinto
the adjuster screw at the front and adjusting it accordingly (sEE figurE
3.11).
By turning the adjuster screw clockwise, you decrease the output pressure
of your LPR and consequently reduce the pressure driving your rammer
back and forth. By turning the adjuster screw counter clockwise, you
increase the output pressure of your LPR and consequently increase the
pressure driving your rammer back and forth.
