IN-LINE REGULATOR - ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE ANTI CHOP EYES/ BALL DETENTS - MAINTENANCE AND CHANGING
• The Hyper
2
can hold a small residual charge
of gas, typically 1 shot. Always discharge
the marker in a safe direction to relieve this
residual gas pressure.
• Always remove the regulator from the
MATRIX before servicing.
• Improper stacking of shims will cause
failure of the regulator and possible
damage to the MATRIX.
• Excessive dirt and debris can affect
the Hyper
2
’s performance and increase
the need for servicing.
WARNING
USAGE
Carefully connect your air hose from your bottle or air system to the Hyper2 In-Line. The Hyper2 In-Line
is set by the factory to approximately 230psi. This pressure should give you a velocity of approximately
285fps.
ADJUSTMENTS
The output pressure of the Hyper2 In-Line is adjusted by turning the brass seat housing. The seat
housing screw is located up inside the bottom of the reg. A 3/16” Allen wrench will be needed for this
operation. By turning the housing counterclockwise, you will increase the output pressure of the reg to
the marker. By turning the housing clockwise, you will decrease the output pressure of the reg.
After each adjustment of the output pressure of the Hyper2 In-Line, you will need to cycle your marker
a few times. This will allow your marker and air system to stabilize at their new operating pressure. The
Hyper2 will need a break-in period of about 2,500 shots to let its seat form to the piston and reach its
optimum performance.
The Hyper2 has nine components
1 Retaining cap 6 Reg body
2 Swivel 7 Shims
3 Seat housing 8 Piston
4 Seat 9 Reg cap
5 Piston o-ring
Disassembly of the Hyper2 In-Line is easily done with 3/8”
and 5/16” Allen wrenches.
MAINTENANCE
To ensure top performance from the Hyper2, maintenance should be performed every six months or
sooner, depending on the severity of playing conditions. Cold, wet weather will shorten the effective
life of the grease. Heavy dust or fine sand can infiltrate the Hyper2 and prevent the piston from
moving smoothly and/or cut the o-rings.
1 Make sure the inlet and outlet ports and connecting fittings are free of all dirt and paint.
2 Examine all o-rings for nicks or cuts.
3 Carefully inspect the seat for excessive wear that might cause spiking
and over-pressurizing.
4 Clean any accumulated dirt out of the air chambers and passages.
5 Keep the piston o-rings and spring pack generously greased to allow
smooth velocity adjustment and prevent erratic velocity spikes and drop off.
6 Clean off all old grease that may be contaminated with dirt; reapply fresh grease
to the piston and other necessary areas.
7 Be sure to reassemble the internal components and shim stack
(see figure 2)
in the proper order and direction.
8 See diagram for assistance.
ANTI CHOP EYES
The Anti Chop Eye (ACE) system will prevent the MATRIX from chopping paint by not allowing the marker to
fire until a ball is fully seated in front of the bolt. The eyes use a beam across the breech. On one side there is a
transmitter, and on the opposite side a receiver. In order for the marker to fire with the eyes turned on, the
signal between the two eyes must be broken. After every shot, before the next ball drops in the breech, the eye
transmitter and receiver must see each other. If the eyes are dirty and cannot see each other between shots, the
LED on the board will start blinking green. This means that the eyes are dirty. This is an extremely reliable system
as long as the eyes are kept clean. The most common reason for dirty eyes is broken paint. If the eyes become
dirty the marker will default to a reduced rate of fire to prevent chopping. If this happens during game play,
you can bypass this by turning the eyes off. Clean the eyes as soon as possible.
NOTE: IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, THE MARKER MAY ACT AS IF THE EYES
ARE DIRTY OR NOT FIRE AT ALL. IN THIS CASE, REPLACE THE BATTERY.

CLEANING THE ANTI CHOP EYES
Quite often, just cleaning the breech out with a swab will clean the eyes well enough for them to
read one another.
For a thorough cleaning, the best method is to use air. Using an air hose or canned air (typically
used for dusting keyboards) works best.
Blow the eyes clean from inside the breech. If you feel the eyes still need a more detailed
cleaning, remove the eye cover to gain full access to the eyes.
To remove the eye cover, you will need a 1/16” Allen wrench.
NOTE: Regular eye cleaning is recommended even if no paint is broken. Clean the eyes
every two months or 10,000 shots to eliminate any built up dirt. Excess grease from the
front bolt o-ring can build up in front of the eyes. Remember to check for this after
greasing the bolt and cycling the marker a few times.
CHANGING BALL DETENTS
The ball detents are also located under the eye cover. If you are experiencing double feeding or
chopping, check the condition of the ball detents. They should come to a soft point. If they are
flat or heavily rounded, they should be replaced. Ball detents should be replaced about every
40,000 shots.
NOTE: TAKE CARE WHEN REPLACING THE EYE COVER. OVER-
TIGHTENING THE RETAINING SCREW COULD RESULT IN
STRIPPING THE THREADS.
