Lock Preset The Etek4 has a tournament lock which prevents the user from making changes to any parameter that affects the way in which the Etek4 shoots without the use of tools. In order to simplify the set up of the Etek4 a number of Preset configurations are available for selection. Choosing one of these presets will cause all of the necessary parameters to be set in such a way as to make the Etek4 comply with the rules governing a particular paintball league.
SAVE MODE This parameter is used to save the current set of parameters as a user defined custom Preset configuration. This parameter has the following choices:> USER 1: Save the current parameters as the preset ‘USER 1’. > USER 2: Save the current parameters as the preset ‘USER 2’. > CANCEL: Editing is cancelled and the parameter remains unchanged. This parameter is used to select the firing mode of the Etek4 and has the following choices: EMORTAL BOARD THE Save Preset Parameter 48.
ROF CAP THE RATE OF FIRE CAP PARAMETER The ROF CAP parameter is used to specify whether or not the Etek4 should have a limited, or capped rate of fire. When the ROF CAP is enabled, the maximum achievable rate of fire is set by the MAX ROF parameter. Choices for the ROF CAP parameter are:> OFF: Rate of Fire only limited by the loader. > ON: Rate of Fire limited to the MAX ROF parameter value. > CANCEL: Cancel editing and leave the parameter unchanged.
OFF ROF the RATE OF FIRE WHEN BBSS OFF PARAMETER EMORTAL BOARD The OFF ROF parameter is used to control how fast the Etek4 cycles when the Break Beam Sensor System is disabled. This parameter can be set between 4.0 and 15.0 balls per second and should always be set to the slowest speed of the loading system in use. 50.
RATE THE LINEAR RAMP RATE PARAMETER The parameter is only available when Linear Ramping is selected and is used to set the percentage increase in rate of fire over rate of trigger pulls. For example, if the user is pulling the trigger at a rate of 10 pulls per second and the RATE parameter is set to 50% then the rate of fire is 10 plus 50% extra which is 15 balls per second. This parameter can be set between 0 and 100% in 10% increments.
Timing FSD DLY The parameters on the Timing Menu all relate to the timing of specific events. dwell This parameter sets the amount of time after the last shot before the FSD Comp is used on the next shot. The first shot after powering on the Etek4 will always have FSD Comp. This parameter can be set between 30 and 240 seconds in 10 second increments. The Dwell parameter sets the amount of time that the solenoid is energized and therefore the amount of air that is released with each shot of the Etek4.
FILTER FULL The parameters on the Filter Menu are all used to tune the Etek4’s software filters which prevent the Etek4 from firing unless all of the necessary conditions are met. The factory default settings will be suitable for most set-ups, however certain loader and trigger setups may require modification of one or more of these parameters: Tumbling paintballs can take time to settle in the breech before they can be successfully fired.
