Manual

UNDERSTANDING THE BBSS
OPERATION
The Etek4 displays the status of the Break Beam
Sensor System using the ‘E’ area of the navigation
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 navigation
console will alternate in colour from Yellow (no
paintball detected) to Light 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 fire.
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
fast flashing purple light in the “E” area of the
navigation console. The Etek’s ROF will be capped
at 7.5bps. 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.
THE BATTERY LEVEL
INDICATOR
The Etek4 displays the status of the battery using the
‘G’ area of the navigation console. When the battery is
fresh, the ‘G’ LED will flash green.
As the battery is drained the ‘G’ LED will change
colour from green to yellow.
When the battery reaches a level where it will no
longer function reliably, the ‘G’ LED will start to flash
red. At this point the battery must be changed for a
new one. For instructions on installing a new battery
see page 11.
