USING THE ETEK5 THE ETEK5 NAVIGATION CONSOLE STANDARD CONSOLE The ETEK5 utilises a coloured LED (labelled A figure 9A) to display all of the information that the user requires. A The console looks slightly different if you have upgraded to the ETEK5 OLED board (see figure 9B). The LED colour information is further supported by the OLED display (labelled C figure 9B). The various functions of both the Select button LED are outlined below.
USING THE ETEK5 SETTING UP THE ETEK5 FIG 10A Before you can begin to use your ETEK5, you will need to attach a barrel, an air system and a paintball loader. INSTALLING A BARREL Every ETEK5 comes complete with an Eclipse Shaft4 barrel (see page 66). To install the Shaft4 barrel, firstly screw the barrel tip and barrel back sections together.
USING THE ETEK5 STRAIGHT MACROLINE FITTINGS A straight macroline fitting can be found on the inline regulator swivel (see figure 11A) and the On/Off Purge System (OOPS) (see figure 11B). These fittings are secured using thread lock and DO NOT need to be removed during regular maintenance.
USING THE ETEK5 INSTALLING A PRESET AIR SYSTEM WARNING! WARNING Make sure the marker is turned off with a barrel blocking device installed and that no paintballs are in the ETEK5 or loader before installing an air system. Compressed air and nitrogen systems can be extremely dangerous if handled or used incorrectly. Only use an air system certified for use within the country of use. The ETEK5 cannot be used with CO2. Only use compressed air or nitrogen.
USING THE ETEK5 INSTALLING A PRESET AIR SYSTEM (CONTINUED) High, mid and low pressure output preset air systems can be used with the ETEK5, providing the ETEK5 is fitted with the SL4 inline regulator originally supplied with the marker. There are two retaining screws on the On/Off Purge System (OOPS) body underside (see figure 12A). These are used to clamp the OOPS onto the frame. It is advisable to make sure that these screws are tight using a 5/32” hex key before attaching an air system.
USING THE ETEK5 ATTACHING A LOADER Release the clamping lever on the feed neck (see figure 13A) and test to see if your loader can easily be pushed into the top of the feed neck. If the loader cannot easily be pushed into the feed neck, loosen the top screw on the feed neck by turning it counter-clockwise using a 5/32” hex key (see figure 13B). When you have managed to push your loader into the feed neck, close the clamping lever to secure it firmly in place (see figure 13C).
USING THE ETEK5 SETTING THE TRIGGER There are three adjustment points on the trigger – the pre-travel screw, the posttravel adjuster screw, and the magnet adjuster screw. _ As standard each ETEK5 comes with a factory set trigger travel of approximately 2mm in total length; one millimeter of travel before the firing point and one millimeter of travel after the firing point. The pre-travel adjuster screw is used to set the amount of trigger travel prior to the marker firing.
USING THE ETEK5 ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY When using your ETEK5, you may wish to change the velocity at which your ETEK5 is firing. This is done by inserting a 1/8” hex key into the adjuster screw at the bottom of your ETEK5 inline regulator and adjusting it accordingly (see figure 15A).
USING THE ETEK5 UNLOADING THE ETEK5 FIG 16A FIG 16B FIG 16C FIG 16D Securely attach a barrel blocking device such as the Eclipse Barrel Sock1 (supplied with the ETEK5) to the marker as shown in figure 16A.
