so they will not be lost when the battery dies
or is removed.

life.
• Low battery indicator software

when the eyes are enabled, but no object is in

Installing Your Proto Board:
1. With the grip frame open, place the two push
buttons into their slots on the grip frame, and insert
the board being careful to align the LED with the
hole in the frame.
2. Screw the board into place with the two small
Phillips head screws that came with your marker.
3. Reinsert all connectors. When inserting the eye
ribbon, insert the cable with the silver connectors
facing up. After inserting the cable push the plastic
tab down to secure the cable into the board.
4. Reconnect the battery, close the grips, and you’re
done!
Setting the Dipswitches:
On the Proto Matrix Board, there is a 2-position dipswitch.
Dipswitch 1 is the Max Rate of Fire/15bps Cap lock. If
Dipswitch 1 is in the up or on position, your max rate of fire is
set to your “Max Rate of Fire” setting (Flickering Red LED in
programming mode.) If dipswitch 1 is in the down or off
position, the Max Rate of Fire of all modes is capped at
15bps. After changing this setting, you must turn the marker
off before it takes effect.
*Please note the actual bps will vary slightly from gun to gun.
If the desired bps is too high or too low with dipswitch 1 down,
then leave Dipswitch 1 in the up position, and adjust the max
rate of fire setting through the programming menu.
Dipswitch 2 is the Tournament Lock. To access the
programming mode of the Virtue Proto Matrix software,
Dipswitch 2 must be in the up or on position. Then hold
down the trigger and turn the marker on to enter
programming mode. When Dipswitch 2 is in the down or off
position, the gun is in “Tournament Lock”, and program
settings cannot be changed.
LED Indicator:
Flashing Yellow Indicates a low battery
Solid Green Ball in Breach; Gun is ready to fire
Solid Red No Ball in Breach
Flashing Red Eyes disabled
Flashing Green Eye malfunction
Power Operation:
Virtue Proto Matrix software uses Instant On technology.
Simply tap the power button, and the marker instantly turns on
and is ready to fire. To turn the marker off at any time, press
the power button for 1 second.
Eye Operation:
When the marker is turned on the eye system is automatically
enabled. The eyes can be toggled on and off by pressing the
eye button for 1 second. When the eyes are disabled the max
rate of fire will not go over 24bps.
The eye logic differentiates between a ball being fired, and
something continually blocking the eye (like your finger). If
the eye becomes blocked, the LED will flash green, indicating
an eye malfunction. When the object blocking the eyes is
removed the eye will automatically return to working mode
(solid red or green LED).
Programming Mode:
To access the programming mode of the Virtue Proto
Matrix Software, Dipswitch 2 must be in the up or on
position. When Dipswitch 2 is in the down position, the
gun is in “Tournament Lock”, and program settings
cannot be changed.
With Dipswitch 2 in the up or on position, hold the
trigger and turn the marker on. The LED will then cycle
through a rainbow of colors and stop on yellow,
indicating that you are now in programming mode.
Tapping the trigger will then toggle through the
different programming modes:
Yellow: Firing Mode
Green: Debounce
Red: Ramp Activation Speed
Flickering Yellow: Ramp Percentage
Flickering Green: Dwell
Flickering Red: Eye Sensitivity
Flashing Yellow: AMB
(Anti-Mechanical Bounce)
Flashing Green ABS (Anti-Bolt Stick)
Flashing Red: Max Rate of Fire
To Change the Value of a Setting:
When the LED is lit for the desired setting, pull and
hold the trigger until the LED Begins to flash. The LED
will flash the number of times the current value is set to.
When the LED stops flashing you then have 2 seconds
to enter in the new value by tapping the trigger the
amount of times you want the new value to be set to.
After you have set the new value, the LED will flash
back at you the number of times you have just entered,
and then flash through the rainbow of colors, returning
to the color you have just adjusted, indicating that the
new value has been set. To exit programming mode,
shut the marker off.
Programming Example:
If you want to change the debounce to 2 you would:
1. With the marker off, and Dipswitch 2 in the
up or on position, hold the trigger and turn the
marker on.
2. The LED will now cycle through a rainbow of
colors and stop on yellow.
3. Tap the trigger once so the LED glows green.
4. Pull and hold the trigger until the LED starts
to flash (factory default for debounce is 5, so
the LED will flash 5 times).
5. When the LED stops flashing, quickly tap the
trigger 2 times.
6. The LED will now flash 2 times, and then
flash through the rainbow of colors, and stop
on green, indicating the new value has been
set.
7. To exit programming mode, shut the marker
off.
Reset to Factory Default:
To return all settings to the factory defaults, while in
programming mode, hold the trigger down for 10 seconds until
the LED turns yellow. Once the LED turns yellow, the LED
will then flash through the rainbow of colors indicating that all
settings have been returned to the factory default.
