Your Eclipse Ego9 comes as standard with an Eclipse Shaft 3 barrel.
The barrel screws into the body of the Ego9 using a right hand thread
meaning that if you hold the Ego9 pointing away from you the barrel screws
into the body in a counter-clockwise direction.
The barrel comprises of two parts, a barrel back and a barrel front .
The two parts are joined together with a left hand thread meaning that
if you hold the barrel, with the back nearest you, the front unscrews in a
counter-clockwise direction. The bore size of the barrel back is engraved at
the end of the barrel back .
On the barrel back there is a 016 NBR 70 o-ring which prevents the barrel
from vibrating loose from the Ego9 body when the marker is fired. There is
also a 015 NBR 70 o-ring on the barrel front helps with alignment when
the two sections are screwed together.
Replace and lubricate these o-rings with Eclipse Grease as necessary.

EGO9 SOLENOID ASSEMBLY
Below is a brief overview of what happens
during the Ego9 firing cycle.The location of parts
discussed in the text below can be found on
page 80-81.
Assuming the Ego9 is gassed up and turned on
FIGURE 1.1 shows the marker in its idle position.
The Rammer is held in its rear position with
pressurised air from the LPR directed through
the Solenoid to the front of the rammer.The
Valve Chamber is full of pressurised air from the
Inline Regulator.
Providing a ball is in the breach and the trigger
is pulled, a signal is sent to the Solenoid which
redirects the supply of air from the front of the
Rammer to the rear, which pushes the Rammer
and Bolt forward toward the Valve (FIGURE 1.2).
As this happens the air in front of the rammer
is vented out through an exhaust port in the
Solenoid Manifold.
The Rammer makes contact with the Valve
Stem and continues to be pushed forward,now
pushing the Valve forward with it.This breaks
the Valve seal allowing pressurised air to flow
up through the Valve and into the Bolt and vent
down the barrel,propelling a ball. (FIGURE 1.3)
The time that the Rammer is held in this forward
position is dependant on the Dwell parameter.
The longer the Dwell the longer the Ego9 vents
gas down the barrel. When this Dwell time has
elapsed, the Solenoid redirects the supply of
air from the back of the Rammer to the front,
pushing the Rammer and Bolt back to the
rear position.This loss of forward force allows
the Valve to re-seal and the Valve Chamber is
re-pressurised.As the rammer moves back air
behind it is vented through an exhaust port in
the Solenoid Manifold (FIGURE 1.4).
The Ego9 has now completed one cycle and is
ready to fire again.

INSTALLING A 9V BATTERY
Ensure that the Ego9 is switched off. Lay the marker on
a flat surface in front of you with the feed tube furthest
away and with the barrel pointing to the right.
Use a 5/64”(2mm) hex wrench to remove the three
countersunk screws that hold the rubber grip onto the
frame. Peel the grip to the right to expose the circuit
board within the frame.
Remove any fitted battery by sliding your thumb or
finger into the recess below the battery and levering
the battery out of the frame (SEE FIGURE 2.1).
DO NOT pull on the top of the battery to remove it as
this can cause the battery terminals to bend and will
result in a poor electrical connection.
Fit a 9-volt alkaline battery (type PP3,6LR61 or
MN1604) into the recess with the battery terminals
away from you.The positive terminal should be on the
right hand side, nearest to the side of the frame (SEE
FIGURE 2.2).
Ensure that all of the wires are within the recess of the
frame and away from the trigger micro-switch and
Opto sensors so as not to interfere with their operation
and replace the rubber grip and replace the three
countersunk screws.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTENTHE SCREWS.
NOTE: BATTERY VOLTAGE MUST NOT EXCEED 10 VOLTS.
SOME 9 VOLT RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES CAN EXCEED
THIS VOLTAGE IF OVER CHARGED. IF IN DOUBT DO NOT USE
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
THE EGO9 NAVIGATION
CONSOLE
At the rear of the Ego9 grip frame you will find the
Navigation Console (FIGURE 1.5).

USING THE BREAK BEAM
SENSOR SYSTEM
The Break Beam Sensor System is used to detect when
a paintball is ready to fire from the Ego9. If no paintball
is ready then the BBSS will inhibit the Ego9 from firing.
This prevents the Ego9 from‘chopping’ paintballs that
are not fully loaded into the marker.
To switch off the Break Beam Sensor System,press and
hold the button for 0.5 second (SEE FIGURE 3.3).
The Break Beam sensor system indicator on the top
right of the LCD will change from (enabled) to
(disabled).
To switch the Break Beam Sensor System back on, press
and hold the button for one second.The indicator will
change back to .
When the Break Beam Sensor System is enabled, the
indicator will change depending on if the system has
detected a ball or not.When no ball has been detected
the indicator looks like this when a ball has been
detected the icon changes to look like this .
Additional features of the Ego9’s Break Beam Sensor
System are covered in full on page 24 of this user
manual.
NOTE: WHEN THE EGO9 IS TURNED ON, THE BREAK BEAM
SENSOR SYSTEM IS AUTOMATICALLY ENABLED.
SWITCHING ON THE EGO9
To switch on the Ego9 press the button twice in
quick succession, referred to elsewhere in this manual
as‘double-clicking’.The Ego9 can also be switched on
by pushing and holding the button (FIGURE 3.1).
SWITCHING OFF THE EGO9
Press and hold the button until the display shows
OFF? Release the button and re-press it to turn off
the Ego9. Alternatively when the display reads OFF?,
you can pull the trigger once to turn off the Ego9.
FIRING THE EGO9
Pull the trigger to fire the Ego9.The entire firing
sequence is controlled electronically by the Ego9 circuit
board, enabling any user to easily achieve high rates
of fire.
THE EGO9 CIRCUIT BOARD
There are three sockets on the Ego9 Circuit board two
of which are occupied by the BBSS Connector (A) and
the Ego9 Solenoid Connector (B).The third socket on
the board (C) is the Auxiliary socket to which third
party products such as loaders and RF transmitters can
be connected using the relevant wiring harness (SEE
FIGURE 3.2).
NOTE: ON POWER UP THE EGO 9 CHECKS TO SEE IF ANY
COMPATIBLE THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS ARE CONNECTED
TO THE AUXILIARY SOCKET AND IF ANY ARE FOUND
AUTOMATICALLY ENABLES THE AUXILIARY PORT.

T-SLOT MOUNTING SYSTEM
The Ego9 utilises a T-slot arrangement to mount the
OOPS to the bottom of the frame.The T-slot is an
improvement over the dovetail mounting system
found on most paintball markers,and is much more
able to withstand the rigours of modern tournament
paintball.
For backwards compatibility there are industry
standard mounting holes in the base of the frame for
mounting third party air source adaptors (ASAs).
MACROLINE HOSING AND
ELBOWS
To aid the longevity of your macroline hosing, it is
very important to remove it from (and install it back
into) the fittings in the correct manner:
Pull back the collet section of the macroline fitting and
keep the collet depressed.
Pull the macroline hose out of the macroline fitting and
release the collet.
Before installing the macroline hose into the macroline
fitting ensure that the end has been trimmed correctly
to ensure a tight fit in the fitting.
SETTING UP
Before you can begin to use your Ego9, you will need to
attach an air system and a paintball loader.
INSTALLING A PRESET AIR
SYSTEM
Every Ego9 comes complete with an Eclipse On/
Off Purge System (OOPS) which provides a direct
connection for a preset air system.Before screwing the
air system into the OOPS ensure that the On/Off knob
is wound out approximately half way (SEE FIGURE 4.1).
Be careful not to unscrew the On/Off knob too far as
it will come completely off the OOPS.If this happens,
replace the On/Off knob by screwing it back onto the
OOPS body in a clockwise direction.
Screw the preset air system into the OOPS (SEE FIGURE
4.2) so that the bottle screws in all the way and is tight.
Slowly turn the On/Off knob in a clockwise direction
allowing the OOPS to depress the pin of the preset
air system causing the Ego9 to become pressurised,
providing that there is sufficient air in your tank (SEE
FIGURE 4.3).
You have now installed a preset air system onto your
Ego9.
NOTE: THE EGO9 CANNOT BE USED WITH CO2,IT CAN ONLY
BE POWERED BY COMPRESSED AIR OR NITROGEN.
WARNING: ALWAYS RELIEVE ALL RESIDUAL GAS
PRESSURE FROM THE EGO9 BEFORE UNSCREWING THE
PRESET AIR SYSTEM.

ATTACHING A LOADER
Using a 5/32”hex key, turn the top screw of the
clamping feed neck counter clockwise (SEE FIGURE 5.1).
Release the clamping lever on the feed neck (SEE
FIGURE 5.2) 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 of the clamping feed neck a little more by
turning it counter clockwise using a 5/32”hex key (SEE
FIGURE 5.1).
When you have managed to push your loader into the
clamping feed neck, close the clamp to secure it firmly
in place (SEE FIGURE 5.3). If the loader is loose then
you will need to release the clamp, tighten the screw
slightly by turning it clockwise with a 5/32”hex key and
closing the clamp. Repeat this process as necessary to
secure your loader in place.
You have now attached a loader to your Ego9. Once
you have filled your loader and air tank you will then be
ready to begin using your Ego9.
INSTALLING AN
ADJUSTABLE AIR SYSTEM
Firstly disconnect the macroline hosing from the elbow
attached to the OOPS at the base of the grip frame
(SEE FIGURE 4.4).
Unscrew the On/Off knob completely from the OOPS
and using a 3/32”hex key turn the two screws on the
bottom of the OOPS in a counter clockwise direction so
that the OOPS can be removed from the rail by sliding
it backwards (SEE FIGURE 4.5).
As well as the integrated slide rail at the base of
the Ego9’s grip frame,there are also two 10-32 UNF
threaded screw holes which will accept all standard
bottom line screws (SEE FIGURE 4.6).
Attach the air system of your choice,taking care to
ensure that you use the correct length and size of
hosing to accommodate your requirements.
BEFORE ATTACHING ANY FIXED AIR SYSTEM, PLACE
ATTACHING SCREW IN DESIGNATED SLIDE RAIL AND
MEASURE PROTRUDING SCREW LENGTH. SCREW
LENGTH MUST NOT PROTRUDE MORE THAN 10MM/0.40”

SETTING THE TRIGGER
The Ego9 provides the user with the option to use
either a Micro-Switch or an Opto Sensor as the means
for detecting trigger pulls. Before you begin to adjust
and set your trigger, you must first select the method
of trigger detection that you wish to use by entering
the Set-Up Menu and making your selection from the
Hardware Menu (see page 52).
There are five adjustment points on the trigger – the
Front Stop Trigger Screw, the Rear Stop Trigger Screw,
the Magnet Return Strength Screw, the Micro Switch
Activation Screw and the Spring Return Strength Screw.
As standard each Ego9 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, and the trigger
detection method set to Opto.
The Front Stop Trigger Screw is used to set the amount of
trigger travel prior to the marker firing.Turn this screw
clockwise to reduce the amount of travel.Do not turn
the screw too far or the trigger will be pushed past
the firing point and the marker will not work.Turn this
screw counter clockwise to increase the amount of
trigger travel (SEE FIGURE 6.1).
The Rear Stop Trigger Screw is used to set the amount
of travel after the marker has fired.Turn this screw
clockwise to reduce the amount of travel.Do not turn
the screw too far or the trigger will be prevented from
reaching its firing point and the marker will not work.
Turn this screw counter clockwise to increase the
amount of travel (SEE FIGURE 6.2).
The Magnet Return Strength Screw is used to adjust the
amount of force with which the trigger is returned to its
rest position by the magnet.Turn the screw clockwise
to increase the amount of force. Do not turn the screw
too far or it will negate the position of the Front Stop
Trigger Screw.Turn the screw counter clockwise to
reduce the amount of force.Do not turn the screw
too far or there will not be enough force to return the
trigger (SEE FIGURE 6.3).

Ego9 logo.When the button is released, the LCD will
show the Run Screen, which is the screen displayed
during the normal use of the Ego9.
RUN SCREEN LAYOUT
The root of the user interface is the Run Screen.This
screen is the one most often displayed and provides
the user with essential feedback on the state of the
Ego9.A typical Run Screen is shown on the right.
On the left of the screen is a display option that is user
selectable from the Main Menu (see page 33).This
option can be:-
> A GAME TIMER
> A SHOT COUNTER
> AN AVERAGE RATE OF FIRE INDICATOR
> A PEAK RATE OF FIRE INDICATOR
Briefly pressing the button will replace the display
option with the name of the currently selected Preset
(see page 37).
On the right of the screen are up to six icons,each of
which provides graphical indication on different parts
of the Ego9 control electronics:
ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY
When using your Ego9, you may wish to change the
velocity at which your Ego9 is firing.This is done by
inserting a 1/8" hex key into the adjuster screw at the
bottom of your Ego9 Inline Regulator and adjusting it
accordingly (SEE FIGURE 7.1). By turning this adjuster
screw clockwise you decrease the output pressure of
the Inline Regulator and consequently the velocity,
by turning the adjuster screw counter clockwise you
increase the output pressure of the Inline Regulator
and consequently the velocity. (There are also
engravings on the bottom of the Inline Regulator
showing which direction increases and decreases
velocity).
ADJUSTING THE LPR
PRESSURE
When using your Ego9, you may wish to change the
output pressure of your LPR.This is easily done by
inserting a 1/8" inch hex key into the adjuster screw at
the front and adjusting it accordingly (SEE FIGURE 7.2).
However we recommend that the LPR screw be left set
flush with the front of the LPR cap.
By turning the adjuster screw clockwise, you decrease
the output pressure of your LPR and consequently
reduce the pressure driving your rammer back and
forth.By turning the adjuster screw counter clockwise,
you increase the output pressure of your LPR and
consequently increase the pressure driving your
rammer back and forth.
NOTE: AFTER EACH ADJUSTMENT FIRE TWO CLEARING
SHOTS TO GAIN AN ACCURATE VELOCITY READING. NEVER
EXCEED 300FPS.
NOTE: TURNING THE ADJUSTER SCREW IN TOO FAR WILL
PREVENT THE EGO9 FROM FIRING. NOTE: THE AUX OUT INDICATOR IS ONLY DISPLAYED WHEN YOU
CONNECT A COMPONENT SUCH AS A RF TRANSMITTER VIA THE
AUXILIARY SOCKET ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD (SEE PAGE 14).

convey if the SOUND parameter in the Hardware Menu
(page 52) is switched on or off.
There are two possible conditions that can be indicated:
In order for the trigger to be successfully operated
it must first be released and then pulled.The Trigger
Detection Indicator (TDI) is used to indicate each of the
possible trigger states.
From the factory the Ego9 will have the Opto sensor
enabled.The Micro-Switch option can be selected by
referring to the Hardware Menu (see page 52).
UNDERSTANDING
THE BREAK BEAM SENSOR
SYSTEM INDICATOR (BBSS)
The BBSS is able to switch itself off in the event
that a blockage or contamination prevents it from
functioning correctly. In this instance, the BBSS will
switch itself back on once the blockage is cleared and
the correct operation can be resumed.
The BBSS Indicator on the main screen is used to
indicate the eight possible states of the BBSS as follows:
UNDERSTANDING
THE AUX OUT INDICATOR
The auxiliary socket on the Ego9 circuit board allows
third party products such as loaders or RF transmitters
to be interfaced to the Ego9.
On power up the Ego 9 checks to see if any compatible
third party products are connected to this socket and,
if any are found,switches on the auxiliary port and
displays the Aux Out Indicator.

THE AVERAGE RATE OF FIRE
When the Average ROF is
selected for display the Run
Screen will look something like
the screen to the right.The value
displayed in the top left of the
screen represents the number
of full cycles completed in the
last second - the average rate
of fire over the second.The
number below it is the maximum
average rate of fire that has been
recorded.To reset this maximum,
press and hold the button for
0.5 seconds.
THE PEAK RATE OF FIRE
When the Peak ROF is selected for
display the Run Screen will look
something like the screen to the left,
which differs from the display of the
Average ROF by the inclusion of the
indicator‘PK’.The value displayed in
the top left of the screen represents
the rate of fire measured between
the last two shots.The number
below it is the maximum peak rate
of fire that has been recorded.To
reset this maximum, press and hold
the button for 0.5 seconds.
The Peak ROF is typically higher
than the Average ROF as it is much
easier to fire two shots in quick
succession than it is to maintain a
string over a longer period of time.
THE MENU SYSTEM
Behind the Run Screen is a structured menu system
comprised of multiple levels of menus. Each menu
contains a number of menu items and each menu
item can either be an editable parameter or a branch
to another menu.Branches always have an animated
graphic whereas parameters indicate their current
value.
The menu structure is shown in the following pages.
The menus are‘smart menus’ in that they will expand
and contract depending upon the state of certain
parameters. For example, the MAX ROF parameter is
only visible when the ROF CAP parameter is set to‘on’.
Smart menu items are indicated with a * in the table
below.
UNDERSTANDING THE
LOCK INDICATOR
The Ego9 has a tournament lock which prevents the
user from making changes to any parameter that
affects the way in which the Ego9 shoots, without the
need for tools.This feature is necessary in order to make
the Ego9 legal for tournament play.
When the lock is enabled the lock indictor will show a
closed padlock .
When the lock is disabled the lock indictor will show an
open padlock .
UNDERSTANDING THE
BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
The battery level indicator is used to show the state
of the battery within the Ego9.When the battery is
fresh the indicator will show a‘full’battery and as the
battery is drained, so the indicator will show the battery
emptying. When the battery reaches a point at which
the Ego9 will no longer function reliably, the indicator
will start to flash. At this point the battery must be
changed immediately.
THE GAME TIMER
When the Game Timer is shown on the Run Screen
then it can be started by pressing the button and the
timer will start to count down.The Game Timer can also
be configured to start on a trigger press with the START
parameter (see page 35).
When the Game Timer reaches the ALARM time the
Gamer Timer will start to flash and the audible alarm
will sound every second,provided that the SOUND
parameter is on.
When the Game Timer reaches
00:00,GAME OVER will be displayed
and the audible alarm will sound
continually, provided that the
SOUND parameter is set to‘on’.
To stop the Game Timer at any time
press and hold the button for 0.5
seconds.
To reset the Game Timer to it’s
preset start time,push and hold the
button for 1 second.The Game
Timer will also be reset whenever
the Ego9 is switched off.
THE SHOT COUNTER
The Shot Counter increments
every time that the Ego9 is fired,
regardless of whether the Shot
Counter is displayed or not.When
the Shot Counter is displayed on the
Run Screen it can be reset to 0 by
pressing and holding the button
for 0.5 seconds.
