WELCOME TO THE LUXE® EXPERIENCE. Follow these simple steps to get your new Luxe® marker up and
running in no time.
STEP ONE CHarGE THE BaTTErY (INCLUDED)
MAKE SURE THE LUXE®’S INTERNAL LITHIUM-POLYMER BATTERY is fully charged. Remove the rubber grip
from your Luxe® and connect the charger to the charging port on the front of the grip frame before plugging
the charger into a domestic electrical outlet. The L-shaped slot on the charger's SATA connector only fits
in one direction - make sure it is oriented correctly. The included charger will operate on either 110 or 240
volt standard AC power. The LED on the charger will glow solid red while charging, and solid green when the
battery is fully charged. Do not use the included USB/SATA atapter for charging. Reinstall the rubber grip.
STEP TWO aFFIX THE BarrEL BLOCkEr (INCLUDED)
ASSEMBLE THE LUXE® BARREL (see HARDWARE 3.4)and screw it into your Luxe®. Slide the included barrel
blocker over the barrel and secure its cord as far back on the Luxe® body as possible, cinching it tight. The
barrel blocker is a critical piece of paintball safety equipment—nearly as important as paintball goggles.
The barrel blocker must be fully seated on the marker's muzzle and secured in place with its strap any time
the marker is stored or handled in an area where people are not properly protected by paintball goggles or
paintball field netting.
STEP THrEE FILL & INSTaLL YOUr aIr TaNk (SOLD SEParaTELY)
YOUR LUXE® IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE PROPERLY with high pressure compressed air (HPA—also commonly
referred to in paintball as nitrogen or nitro) as its power source. Mount your air system and have it filled, following
its manufacturer’s directions. If using a screw-in style compressed air system, first turn the Luxe® bottom-line
control knob counterclockwise one and a half turns, then screw the air system into the back of the ASA.

STEP FOUr INSTaLL YOUr LOaDEr (SOLD SEParaTELY)
THE ANTI-CHOP VISION SYSTEM IN YOUR LUXE® will allow it to work with any loader. Best performance
and highest rate of fire however, will only be possible with a high performance force-feed loader system. Open
the marker's locking feedneck by pulling the lock lever away from the neck, then insert the loader and secure
it in place by folding the lever back to its locked position. Loader necks vary in size from brand to brand. If
the loader does not fit securely or the lock lever does not easily close, see Orientation 1.3 in this manual for
feedneck clamp adjustment instructions.
STEP FIVE TUrN ON aIr
GENTLY GAS UP YOUR LUXE® BY SLOWLY TURNING the air system on or by turning the Luxe® bottom-line
control knob clockwise.
A GENTLE RISE IN PRESSURE IS IMPORTANT, AS A SUDDEN BLAST MAY REDUCE THE SERVICE LIFE OF PRESSURE
SEALS WITHIN YOUR LUXE®.
The Luxe® bottom-line control knob must be turned off (counterclockwise) before removing screw-in
compressed air systems.
STEP SIX POWEr ON YOUr LUXE® markEr
TURN THE MARKER ON BY DOUBLE-CLICKING (quickly pressing twice) the power button, or by holding it
down for two seconds. Turn it off by pressing and holding the power button for two seconds. When the Luxe®
turns on, the OLED display will be activated, indicating the marker's status.
ALTHOUGH THE POWER BUTTON SERVES AS THE LUXE®’S SAFETY SWITCH TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL FIRING, IT
SHOULD NEVER BE RELIED UPON IN PLACE OF A BARREL BLOCKER AND PROPER PAINTBALL EYE PROTECTION.
STEP SEVEN aDJUST LUXE® VELOCITY
FILL THE HOPPER WITH PAINTBALLS and turn it on. While wearing ASTM compliant paintball goggles, in an
area where all bystanders are protected, remove the barrel blocker and fire over a chronograph to measure the
velocity. Using a 5/32-inch allen wrench on the adjuster in the bottom of the vertical regulator, turn clockwise
to increase velocity/pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease. Take three or four shots after every adjustment
to allow the gas pressure inside your Luxe® to stabilize. Adjust until the marker is firing consistently within the
limits for the field where you are playing.
NEVER ADJUST YOUR LUXE TO FIRE AT GREATER THAN 300 FEET PER SECOND.

OrIENTaTION 1.2 INSTaLLING THE BarrEL BLOCkEr
THE BARREL BLOCKING DEVICE IS A CRITICAL PIECE of paintball safety equipment—nearly as important
as paintball goggles. The Barrel Blocker serves to protect against accidental discharge of a paintball by
catching it before it can cause harm. A Barrel Blocker is included with the Luxe® and must be used every
time it is handled in an area where people or property are not properly protected by paintball goggles or
paintball field netting. To use the Barrel Blocker simply slip it over the end of the barrel and stretch its cord
back over the rear of the Luxe® [FIG. 1.] Use the strap’s adjuster to cinch the strap tight, so that the Barrel
Blocker can provide protection against accidental discharge of a paintball.
THE BARREL BLOCKER SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED WHEN THE LUXE® IS ON A “LIVE” PAINTBALL FIELD AND ALL
PERSONS INVOLVED ARE WEARING PROPER PAINTBALL PROTECTION.
OrIENTaTION 1.3 SELECTING aND INSTaLLING a LOaDEr
YOUR LUXE® IS A HIGH PERFORMANCE PROFESSIONAL GRADE PAINTBALL MARKER. Although its
Vision anti-chop system will allow it to operate properly with any paintball loader without fear of chopping
paint, a high-end forced-feed loader must be used to achieve high rates of fire.
The Luxe® is equipped with a locking feedneck, which allows it to adapt to variance in hopper neck sizes,
and to release hoppers quickly when desired, but hold them securely on the field [FIG. 2.] Pulling the
lock lever away from the feedneck moves it to the open, or unlocked position. While it is open, the locking
mechanism may be adjusted with a 1/8-inch allen wrench opposite the latch pivot. Turning the wrench
clockwise will cause the feedneck to grip tighter, while turning it counterclockwise will result in a better fit
for larger hopper necks. Place the hopper in the feedneck, and secure it by closing the lever. If the latch
is difficult to close, do not force it. Instead, open it fully, then turn the adjuster counter-clockwise and try
again until you have adjusted for a perfect fit.
OVER-TIGHTENING THE FEED NECK CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO ITS LATCHING MECHANISM. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.
Or IENTaTIO N 1. 4 HaNDLING THE LiPo BaTTErY
INCLUDED WITH YOUR LUXE® IS A RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM-POLYMER BATTERY. Do not expose the
battery to high temperatures, such as strong sunlight or in a vehicle during hot weather. Do not expose the
battery to high levels of static electricity. These situations may cause damage, leading to fire or explosion.
If the battery leaks, avoid contact with the fluids. In case of eye contact, do not rub. Rinse with clean
running water and seek medical attention immediately, or loss of sight may occur. If the battery gives off an
odor, generates heat, becomes discolored/deformed or appears abnormal, remove it from any connected
device and place in a metal box for immediate disposal. Dispose of used Luxe® batteries through a battery
recycling program, as discarded batteries pose a risk of fire or environmental contamination.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE BATTERY IN LIQUID. STORE IN A COOL, DRY ENVIRONMENT WHEN NOT IN USE. DO NOT
REVERSE POSITIVE (+) AND NEGATIVE (-) TERMINALS OR SHORT-CIRCUIT. DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY TO
AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET. DO NOT STRIKE OR THROW THE BATTERY AGAINST A HARD SURFACE. DO NOT MODIFY,
PIERCE, OR SOLDER NEW CONNECTIONS TO THE BATTERY. STORE AND TRANSPORT THE BATTERY IN A CASE
WHICH PROTECTS IT FROM DAMAGE OR CONTACT WITH SHARP OR METAL OBJECTS WHEN NOT IN USE.

The Integrated Air vertical regulator
is the culmination of more than a
decade's worth of design, testing
and field experience. It delivers the
high flow rates and consistent output
pressure that the Luxe® needs to
compete at the professional level. Its
unique bi-directional ASA connection
allows it to work with the Luxe®
Integrated Air system.
VERTICAL
REGULATOR
INTEGRATED
AIR DESIGN
The Luxe® Integrated Air design means that
there are no hoses on the outside or inside of
the marker. Hoses and hose fittings are the
most common places for leaks to occur in
paintball markers. Air passages machined
into the Luxe® grip frame and body
eliminate these possible failure points,
making the Luxe® more reliable.
Basic Guide to THE
LUXE®INTEGRATED AIR SYSTEM

LUXEPaINTBaLL.COm 866.573.LUXE(5893)
aIr 2.1 aBOUT COmPrESSED aIr
YOUR LUXE® IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE ON HIGH-PRESSURE AIR (HPA) which is stored in cylinders
(tanks) at pressures of up to 3,000 [FIG. 1] or 4,500 psi [FIG. 2.] The storage cylinder, along with the
regulator mounted in its neck forms an HPA system. There are two main types of HPA systems, those on
which the regulator’s output pressure is adjustable, and those for which their regulator is pre-set to deliver
a fixed output pressure. HPA systems designed to screw into an ASA are usually pre-set to provide 400 psi
(low pressure output) or 800 psi (high pressure output.)
DO NOT USE CO2WITH YOUR LUXE®. USE THE LUXE® ONLY WITH COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS FEATURING TWO
BURST DISKS, ONE FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE SIDE OF THE REGULATOR, AND AN 1800 PSI RATED BURST DISK
FOR THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF THE REGULATOR. THE 1800 PSI (ALSO SOMETIMES MARKED 1.8K) PROVIDES
CRITICAL PROTECTION IN CASE OF A REGULATOR LEAK, AND ITS ABSENCE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE LUXE®
AND OR SERIOUS INJURY.
If you are using your Luxe® with an adjustable output compressed air system, it should be set to deliver
about 650 psi. The Luxe® vertical regulator can accommodate a wide range of input pressures, and lower
them to the marker’s operating pressure, so exact adjustment of the air system is not critical, and either
low output, or high output pre-set HPA systems may be used. If using a screw-in style air system, the
Luxe® on/off bottom-line or similar is recommended, as the on/off control is important for proper set-up
and degassing.
NEVER USE OIL OR ANY PETROLEUM BASED CLEANER OR LUBRICANT IN A COMPRESSED AIR REGULATOR OR
CYLINDER. EXPOSURE TO PRESSURIZED AIR INCREASES OIL’S FLAMMABILITY AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS
SAFETY HAZARD. ONLY USE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS WITH COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEMS,
AND FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS EXPLICITLY.
Regardless of the type of air system used, be sure to turn it on by slowly opening its control valve (either
on the HPA system, or on/off bottom-line, depending on the configuration) so that the gas pressure in the
Luxe® rises gently, rather than jumping to full pressure. Slower pressurization will maximize the service life
of the seals and low pressure components in the Luxe®. The Luxe® offers multiple options for mounting
compressed air systems. Located on the bottom of the grip frame are a pair of industry standard 10-32
screw holes for air system mounting. Located forward and to the side of these holes is the Luxe® grip
integrated gas port. A small o-ring sitting in a recess at the gas port provides an airtight seal.
DEGAS AND UNLOAD THE LUXE® BEFORE MAKING ANY AIR SYSTEM CHANGES.

aIr 2.2 INSTaLLING aN aIr SYSTEm
INCLUDED WITH YOUR LUXE® IS A BOTTOM-LINE style integrated air on/off ASA for use with screw-in
style compressed air systems. The grip integrated ASA can be mounted directly to the Luxe® grip frame,
or mounted with forward (included) or reverse (optional) grip integrated air rails.
When mounting the bottom-line adapter directly to the grip frame, it must first be disassembled by
unscrewing and removing its control knob. Each of the short 10-32 socket head cap screws are inserted
in the center slot in the top of the bottom-line adapter [FIG. 1,] then slid to the front or back. A 5/32-inch
allen wrench is guided up through holes in the bottom of the adapter to tighten the screws. If needed, the
control-knob's o-ring may be lightly lubricated with GR33SE™ before it is reinstalled.
The Air Integrated Rail offers an alternative configuration with a slightly lower and forward placement of
the HPA system. A short socket head cap screw is used through the rail’s rear hole to secure it to the grip
frame [FIG 2.] A long socket head cap screw is slid into the bottom-line's rear mount point while a short
socket head cap screw is used in the front, installing with the same procedure as direct-mounting.
When installing a new air system, accessory or mount, the grip must be removed and the battery removed
from the Luxe® (see HARDWARE 3.6.) Only use mounting screws which will reach through the air system,
accessory or mount, and fully engage the screw threads in the grip frame, but not extend into the open
space of the grip frame far enough that they interfere with the placement of the battery. Installing mount
screws while the battery is removed will ensure that a screw which is too long does not accidentally
damage the lithium-polymer battery [FIG. 3.]
In addition to grip integrated air systems, the Luxe® may also use standard hose based air systems and
accessories, bypassing the grip integrated air system. Such accessories are mounted the same way, but
will require the use of a vertical regulator (see ADVANCED MAINTENANCE 6.2 for removal instructions) which
accepts input via macroline or steel braided hose and provides output in the range of 170-220 psi [FIG. 4.]

aIr 2.3 FEaTHErTOUCH
YOUR LUXE® IS IS EQUIPPED WITH A FEATHERTOUCHTM MANIFOLD allowing for extra-gentle treatment
of the most brittle paintballs and an unbeatably smooth firing cycle. The FeatherTouchTM control restricts
the flow of gas leaving the forward portion of the Luxe Power CoreTM. This provides a cushion of air which
softens the bolt’s forward motion. When using the LuxeTM in FeatherTouchTM mode, it will be necessary
to clean and grease the bolt more frequently. Additionally, anti-FSDO adjustments may be necessary for
reliable operation. Maintenance is more critical with FeatherTouchTM, but top professional players swear by
the unmatched feel and fragile paint handling.
To activate FeatherTouchTM the FeatherTouchTM control screw is moved from its storage location to the
FeatherTouchTM hole in the LuxeTM solenoid manifold. De-activating FeatherTouch simply requires removing
the screw from the manifold.
With the LuxeTM unloaded and degassed, remove the rubber grip, then use a 1/16-inch allen wrench to
remove the control screw from its storage position [FIG 5.] The control screw has a small black o-ring on
its front. The o-ring may cause the control screw to stick in the threaded hole, requiring a tap on the grip
frame to work it loose. Make sure the o-ring is correctly seated on the control screw when reinstalling.
When not in use, the control screw should be returned to its threaded storage hole for safekeeping.
Dwell Adjustment will typically need to be increased by 2 milliseconds when FeatherTouchTM is turned on. A
dwell setting of 14 milliseconds is ideal..

HarDWarE 3.1 aDJUSTING VELOCITY
THE VELOCITY, OR SPEED AT WHICH YOUR LUXE® FIRES a paintball, must be measured and adjusted
to below the paintball field’s velocity limit immediately before each day of play, for player safety. Fill the
hopper with paintballs and turn it on.
While wearing ASTM compliant paintball goggles, in an area where all bystanders are protected, remove the
barrel blocker and fire over a chronograph to measure the velocity. Using a 5/32-inch allen wrench on the
adjuster in the bottom of the Luxe® Vertical Regulator, turn clockwise to increase velocity/pressure [FIG. 1,]
and counterclockwise to decrease.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE LUXE® VERTICAL REGULATOR WITH LARGER SIZED ALLEN WRENCHES. THESE ARE
USED TO REMOVE AND DISASSEMBLE THE REGULATOR, WHICH MUST NOT BE DONE WHILE IT IS PRESSURIZED.
Take three or four shots after every adjustment to allow the gas pressure inside the Luxe® to stabilize.
Adjust and retest until the marker is firing consistently within the limits for the field where you are playing.
ALWAYS MEASURE THE VELOCITY OF PAINTBALLS FIRED BY THE LUXE® BEFORE USE, AND NEVER ADJUST TO
FIRE ABOVE 300FPS (91.44 M/S.)
HarDWarE 3.2 DEGaSSING THE SYSTEm
BEFORE STORAGE, TRANSPORT OR MAINTENANCE, your marker will need to be unloaded and degassed.
In an area where it is safe to shoot and while wearing paintball goggles, loosen the Luxe®’s clamping
feedneck and remove the loader. By turning the marker upside down, you can empty any extra paintballs
from the feedneck into your hand.
EVEN WITH ITS GAS SUPPLY TURNED OFF, THE REGULATOR AND GAS PASSAGES IN THE LUXE® WILL CONTAIN
ENOUGH PRESSURE TO FIRE MULTIPLE SHOTS UNTIL THE MARKER IS DEGASSED.
Turn off your HPA system either with its on/off valve, or the on/off valve of a connected bottom-line
adapter. Lift the quick-strip latch upward to vent pressure from the Power Core [FIG 2.] As the Power Core is
depressurized, it will make a sound similar to a soda can being opened. If you hear the sound of escaping
gas for more than a second or two, your HPA system has not been turned off. Turn off your HPA system and
repeat the degassing procedure.

LUXEPaINTBaLL.COm 866.573.LUXE(5893)
Once the Luxe® has completely degassed, there will be no more hissing sound. If performing maintenance
on the Luxe®, remove the Power Core (see MAINTENANCE 5.1) to protect against accidental pressurization—
otherwise, re-close the latch. If using a screw-in style HPA system, unscrew the system from the marker’s
bottom-line ASA. Pay careful attention to make sure the HPA system regulator is unscrewing from the
Luxe®’s ASA, rather than the tank unscrewing from its regulator.
DO NOT LIFT THE QUICK-STRIP LATCH UNTIL THE GAS SUPPLY HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. IF THIS IS DONE
ACCIDENTALLY, TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY IMMEDIATELY. ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE LATCH WHILE THE GAS
SUPPLY IS ON MAY RESULT IN O-RING DAMAGE.
HarDWarE 3.3 aDJUSTING THE TrIGGEr
YOUR LUXE® IS EQUIPPED WITH A 4-POINT ADJUSTABLE TRIGGER, providing complete versatility to
both the feel and length of the trigger pull. The Luxe® can be adjusted to a super-sensitive hair trigger,
though many players find that a slightly longer, and heavier trigger pull is easier to walk to higher rates of
fire. Perform trigger adjustments while the Luxe® is unloaded and degassed. Luxe® Training Mode (see
PROGRAMMING PULL-OUT) can be used to determine the effectiveness of changes in trigger adjustment.
POST-TraVEL The post-travel adjustment sets how far back the trigger can travel, affecting the area
of the trigger pull that occurs after the Luxe® fires. Turning the adjustment screw clockwise with an
0.050-inch allen wrench will reduce post-travel, limiting how far back the trigger can swing, while turning
counterclockwise will increase it. The post-travel limit must be set to stop the trigger before it is brought to a
stop by the trigger switch.
PrE-TraVEL The pre-travel adjustment determines how far forward the trigger can swing, affecting the
area of the trigger pull that occurs before the Luxe® fires. Pre-travel is adjusted with an 0.050-inch allen
wrench in the pre-travel adjustment screw. Turn clockwise to reduce pre-travel, and counterclockwise to
increase.
aCTIVaTION POINT The activation point setting determines the point in the trigger pull at which the
Luxe® trigger switch is activated, signaling the marker to fire. As the screw is turned clockwise with a 0.050-
inch allen wrench, it will extend out the back of the trigger, closer to the trigger switch, causing the trigger to
be activated earlier in the trigger pull. Due to the limited space to access this adjustment, use of a ball-end
allen wrench is advised.
USE CAUTION WHEN ADJUSTING THE ACTIVATION POINT AND POST-TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT. WHEN PROPERLY
ADJUSTED, THE TRIGGER SHOULD COME TO A SOLID STOP AGAINST THE POST TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT SCREW.
IF IT COMES TO A SOFTER STOP CAUSED BY THE ACTIVATION POINT ADJUSTMENT SCREW OR REAR OF THE
TRIGGER PRESSING AGAINST THE TRIGGER SWITCH, THEN TRIGGER SWITCH AND OR CIRCUIT BOARD DAMAGE
MAY RESULT FROM RAPID OR HARD PULLS ON THE TRIGGER.
TrIGGEr rESISTaNCE Trigger resistance, or the weight of the trigger pull may be adjusted with a 0.050-
inch allen wrench in the trigger resistance adjustment screw. Turning clockwise increases pressure on the trigger
return magnet, for increased resistance, while turning counterclockwise decreases pressure on the trigger.

EVEN THE BEST QUALITY PAINTBALLS WILL VARY in size from one batch to the next and as weather
conditions change. Although your Luxe® can work well even with a poor paint to barrel fit, optimal
performance will be achieved with a proper fit. The ideal fit between the paintball and the barrel is found
when the ball is inserted in the bore and does not slip or roll through to the muzzle on its own, yet can
be blown out like a blowgun, using a minimal amount of breath. The barrel can be adapted to fit a wide
range of paintball sizes through the use of GOG Paintball® inserts. The .693-inch ID Luxe® bore insert
may be removed by sliding it out the back of the barrel, and inserting an appropriate sized Freak® insert
in its place. The Luxe® 3-Piece barrel is compatible with all GOG Paintball® multi-piece barrel components
providing access to a variety of optional fronts and inserts.

consistent power output in a minimal size and weight, without suffering from charge memory effects.
To charge the Luxe®, use a 5/64-inch allen wrench to remove the four grip screws and completely remove the
grip (avoid folding the grip back from one side as this may cause damage.) Simply plug the included charger
into the marker’s charging port, and plug the adapter into a domestic power outlet. The Luxe® charger is
designed for international use, and will operate on standard mains 50 or 60 Hz AC power from 110 to 240
volts. Plug adapters may be required when using the Luxe® outside of the US, Canada or Mexico.
While the Luxe® battery is charging, the charger’s LED will glow red. It will glow green to indicate that the
charging cycle is complete. Charge time is approximately 30 minutes. The USB/SATA Luxe USB Interface
cable will not charge the battery.
ONLY USE THE LUXE® CHARGER, CIRCUIT BOARD AND GENUINE LUXE® BATTERY. THESE COMPONENTS CONTAIN
CRITICAL CHARGE AND DISCHARGE CONTROL CIRCUITS. USE OF AFTER-MARKET ELECTRONIC PARTS MAY
RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
When your Luxe® is turned on, it will display an estimate of the remaining battery charge. This will be
displayed at the bottom of the marker's OLED display. It is important to note that battery discharge rates
can be affected by various factors, including temperature. The indicated charge level is only an estimation
of the expected remaining charge life.
HarDWarE 3.6 rEPLaCING Or CHarGING THE SParE BaTTErY
SWAP LUXE® BATTERIES at least once every six months to maximize their operating life. A spare battery
that is unused for more than six months or stored completely empty may lose capacity or fail entirely.
Unload and degas your Luxe® following the instructions in this manual. Open the left side grip panel with a
5/64-inch allen wrench. Use a 1/16-inch allen wrench to remove the speaker mount. [FIG 1.]
Carefully lift out the speaker. Do not allow sharp tools like allen wrenches to snap onto the magnet, damag-
ing the speaker cone. Take care not to strain the speaker wires. Lift out and unplug the the Lithium-Polymer
battery pack. When unplugging any component from the circuit board, pull on the connector directly, not its
wires.
DO NOT PLUG A BATTERY INTO THE SPEAKER CONNECTION [FIG.2,] AS CIRCUIT BOARD DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
Install a charged battery [FIG. 3,] and plug it into the circuit board. Make sure the speaker is plugged in,
reinstall the speaker and speaker mount, taking care not to crimp or crush any of the wires, then re-secure
the grip panel. The speaker and battery connectors only fit in one direction. If a connector does not slide
smoothly onto its pins, try rotating it to determine if it has been reversed. Do not force the connectors.

SOFTWarE 4.6 FIrING mODES aND SETTINGS
WHILE REFERENCES TO PAINTBALL TOURNAMENT LEAGUE RULES ARE ACCURATE AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING, IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR PAINTBALL LEAGUES TO MAKE
CHANGES TO THEIR RULES. IN ADDITION TO THE MODE CHOICE, SOME SERIES WILL REQUIRE THE USE OF THE LUXE®’S BPS LIMIT TO LIMIT MAXIMUM RATE OF FIRE. BE SURE TO
MAKE YOURSELF FAMILIAR WITH THE RULES OF ANY TOURNAMENT, SCENARIO OR GAME WHERE YOU WILL BE PLAYING, TO BE CERTAIN YOUR LUXE® SETTINGS ARE IN COMPLIANCE.
SEmI-aUTO
UNCaPPED
This is a traditional semi-
automatic firing mode, delivering
one shot per complete trigger
pull, and it is the factory default
setting for the Luxe®. Semi-
Automatic mode is uncapped,
and the maximum rate of fire
that can be achieved in this mode
will depend on loader feed rates
and Luxe® Dwell settings. Semi-
Automatic mode is appropriate
for use at most paintball fields
and events.
SEmI-aUTO
CaPPED
While this mode functions like
Semi-Automatic, with one shot
per trigger pull, it also takes into
account the value set in the BPS
(Balls Per Second) Limit. By
activating this cap, the Luxe®'s
maximum rate of fire can be
restricted to meet the demands of
special game rules, or to handicap
experienced players against those
who are new to the sport.
NXL
NXL mode complies with the rules
of the National X-Ball League.
Initially this mode acts like Semi-
Automatic. After three trigger
pulls in quick succession, it begins
operating like Full-Automatic, firing
repeatedly while the trigger is
held down. To prevent accidental
multiple-shot firing, NXL mode
reverts to semi-automatic style
operation after a moment of no
trigger activity, at which point it
is ready to begin the cycle again.
Maximum rate of fire is capped by
the Luxe®’s BPS Limit sub-menu
setting. For use in the NXL, the BPS
Limit must be set to 13.2 or lower.
PSP 1, 2 & 3
For use under the X-Ball rules used
in the Paintball Sports Promotions
tournament series. Initially, these
mode act like Semi-Automatic until
three trigger pulls are made in
quick succession. At this point PSP
mode begins firing more than one
shot per trigger pull, as long as the
user continues to pull the trigger
at least once per second. Once the
trigger is allowed to rest for more
than a second, the cycle begins
again with one shot per trigger pull.
Each of the 3 PSP modes has a
different default BPS limit for use
in different leagues: PSP 1, 2 and 3
are preset to 10.2 BPS (PSP Pro),
12.5 BPS (PSP Divisional & CFOA)
and 15 BPS (CXBL) respectively.
Each PSP mode can be adjusted
with the BPS Limit and BPS Fine
settings.
mILLENNIUm
Similar to other series specific
modes, the Millennium mode
operates as Semi-Automatic until
the user pulls the trigger at a rate of
8 times per second or faster. At this
point, the Luxe® will begin firing
more than one shot per trigger
pull, to maximize firepower, until
the user slows below the rate of 8
trigger pulls per second, at which
point only one shot is fired per
trigger pull. For use in Millennium
events, the BPS Limit must be set
to 11.9 or lower.
FIrING mODE
As its name implies, this setting selects one of the Luxe®'s eleven available firing modes, each of which is identified by the Luxe®
speaking the mode name and displaying it near the top of the OLED display. Settings which affect the performance of a firing mode are
stored specifically for the currently selected mode. Firing mode related settings are only available for adjustment when their associated
firing modes are selected. For example, Burst Count may only be adjusted when the firing mode is set to Burst.

LUXEPaINTBaLL.COm 866.573.LUXE(5893)
aUTO rESPONSE
Auto Response is a specialty mode
which doubles firepower by firing
both when the trigger is pulled and
when it is released. Auto Response
is affected by the BPS Limit setting.
BUrST mODE
This mode fires a burst of shots
when the trigger is pulled and held
down. The number of shots in each
burst is determined by the Burst
setting.
FULL-aUTO
In Full-Automatic mode, the Luxe®
fires repeatedly, while the trigger
is pulled and held. The rate of fire
delivered will depend on the value
of the BPS Limit setting.
User-definable Rebound mode allows the Luxe® to operate with ramping built to meet nearly any imaginable rule set. Rebound mode fires as semi-automatic until the set number of activation
shots (Shots To Enter) are fired at a minimum rate (Shots To Sustain) or faster, at which point the Rebound mode kicks in and fires additional shots, maximizing firepower. Once the rate of trigger
pulls drops below the Shots To Sustain setting, one shot is fired per trigger pull. To configure Rebound mode, adjust the Shots To Enter and Shots To Sustain settings.
CUSTOm rEBOUND mODE
PaGE 21 4.5 FIrING mODES
DWELL
The Dwell setting determines how
long the Luxe® sends power to its
solenoid valve, which in turn affects
how long the bolt remains forward
and how much gas is released
from the fire chamber to propel
each paintball. Dwell is adjustable
from 4 to 25 milliseconds in one
millisecond increments. The default
Dwell value is 16 milliseconds,
which provides an excellent balance
between gas efficiency, speed and
reliable operation.
FIrST SHOT
DrOP
The o-rings in the Luxe® power core
may become set in position when
resting between shots, causing
slightly more friction than is seen
during rapid firing. This results
in the first shot of a group having
decreased velocity, also known
as First Shot Drop Off, or FSDO.
In order to overcome this friction,
the anti-bolt-stick function of the
Luxe® firmware will slightly increase
the dwell time of the first shot
in a group,. The increased dwell
will compensate for the change
in friction, keeping velocity more
consistent. The standard value for
First Shot Drop is 7 milliseconds,
and it may be adjusted between
0 and 25 milliseconds in one
millisecond increments. A setting
of 0 turns off first shot drop
compensation.
BYPaSS BPS
Bypass BPS is an additional
rate of fire limit that is imposed
when the Vision system detects
a fault, such as paint or debris
that prevents it from working
properly. The Bypass BPS setting
can be adjusted to ensure that
the Luxe® fires slower than its
loader's slowest response rate.
Bypass BPS is adjustable between
6 and 16 bps, though the Luxe®
firmware will not allow it to be
adjusted to a value higher than the
BPS limit.
BPS LImIT
This setting adjusts how fast
the Luxe® can fire in all modes
except Semi-Auto. For modes
such as Capped Semi-Auto, this
setting limits the maximum rate
of fire. For modes which provide
automatic shots, like Burst and
Full-Auto, it determines the rate of
fire. BPS limit is adjusted in whole
numbers of Balls Per Second. The
value may be set from 4 BPS to 20
BPS. Default BPS and BPS Fine
values vary between firing modes.
Due to variances in the timing
of both the Luxe® and paintball
shot timers, it is recommended
that players confirm timing values
with a field's shot timer before
competition to reduce the chance
of a penalty.
BPS FINE
The rate of fire cap may be fine
tuned through adjustment of
the BPS Fine setting, which is
added to the BPS Limit value.
BPS Fine ranges from 0 to 9
and adds tenths of a ball per
second to the rate of fire limit.
For example, a BPS Limit of 12,
combined with a BPS Fine setting
of 8 will result in a 12.8 BPS cap
to maximize firepower under a
13 BPS tournament limit while
still providing a margin of error to
reduce the chance of a penalty.
Rebound, Auto Response and
Capped Semi modes are limited
to 20 BPS. All other modes are
limited to 15 BPS, except Semi-
Auto, which has no cap.
