WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES
• The MATRIX marker is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or death.
• Please read, understand and follow the directions in the MATRIX owner’s manual.
• Eye protection that is designed specifically for paintball and meets ASTM/CE standards must be worn by user
and persons within range.
• Recommend 18 years or older to purchase. Person under 18 must have adult supervision.
• Always treat the MATRIX marker as if it were loaded and able to fire.
• Only use compressed air or nitrogen gas in the MATRIX marker. DO NOT USE CO

.
• Do not exceed 800 psi input pressure.
• Ensure all air lines and fittings are tightened and secured before gassing up the MATRIX.
• Always chronograph the MATRIX marker before playing paintball.
• Never shoot the MATRIX marker at velocities in excess of 300 feet per second,
or at velocities greater than local or national laws allow.
• Never look into the barrel or breech area of the MATRIX when the marker is switched on and able to fire.
• Always fit a barrel blocking device to your MATRIX when not in use on the field of play.
• The owner’s manual should always accompany the product for reference or in the event of
resale and new ownership.
• Do not point the MATRIX marker at anything that you do not intend to shoot.
• Do not shoot at people, animals, houses, cars or anything not related to the sport of paintball.
• Do not fire the MATRIX without the Fuse bolt screwed in completely.
• If you read these instructions and do not fully understand them or are unsure of your ability to make
necessary adjustments properly, call DYE or your local pro shop for help.
Air Supply - The MATRIX should be operated using air/nitrogen gas only. This air needs to be supplied to the Hyper2 in-line regulator at a regulated
pressure of no more than 850 psi. The Hyper2 in-line regulator comes factory preset at 230psi.
Turning On Your MATRIX - The MATRIX’s power is controlled by two buttons. The top button turns the marker on and off, while the bottom button
turns the eye on and off. Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the marker on. The LED in the grip will illuminate during the boot sequence.
NOTE: If the eye is not working properly, try replacing the battery.
Orange - Boot Sequence
Red - Breech is clear, no ball (eye on)
Green - Ball in breech, ready to fire (eye on)
Blinking Orange - Indicates a low battery, battery should be changed as soon as possible
Blinking Red - Eye is off
Blinking Green - Eye failure (see MATRIX Board, page 13)
LPR - The LPR is pre-set from the factory at approximately 75-80 psi and should need no adjustment out of the box.
If fine tuning adjustment is desired or needed, you must be sure that you are adjusting the LPR correctly. See page
10 for detailed instructions. If the LPR is improperly adjusted, you could dramatically hinder the MATRIX’s
performance or prevent the marker from functioning at all.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the LPR’s output pressure. Turning the
adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the LPR’s output pressure.
Hopper -
To get the best performance out of your MATRIX, it is recommended
that you use a motorized loader. Preferably one that force feeds the paint
really, really fast!
Adjusting Velocity - The velocity is adjusted through the Hyper2 in-line
regulator. The Hyper2 in-line is preset from the factory at approximately
230 psi. This pressure setting should have the marker shooting at about
285fps. Your paint-to-barrel fit will also have a noticeable affect on your
velocity. Make sure that the paintball fits into the barrel loosely but does
not drop through.
NOTE: For the Hyper2, turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will
lower the output pressure, decreasing the velocity. Turning the adjustment
screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the output pressure,
increasing the velocity.
NOTE: If the battery is too low, it may not be able to power the solenoid correctly. This
will affect your MATRIX’s velocity, causing it to become inconsistent and/or low.
