6 GEO3.5 MANUAL
FACTORY SET-UP GUIDE
WARNING!
De-gas your marker, discharging any stored gas in a safe direction, and
remove the barrel, loader, air system and any paintballs to make the marker
easier and safer to work on.
WARNING
Before using the GEO3.5 it is important to make sure the SL4 inline regulator,
solenoid ow restrictor (SFR) and all electronically controlled parameters are set
correctly. ANY of these can have a negative effect on the performance of the
marker if set incorrectly.
The steps below will restore the GEO3.5 settings to the factory settings. These
settings will give the GEO3.5 a more balanced performance, ideal for most users.
Inline Regulator Output Pressure
Check the inline regulator adjuster screw is set to 41/2 turns clockwise from its
maximum out position (see gure 1A). This will ensure the SL4 inline regulator
is set to an output pressure that will not damage the GEO3.5 when supplied
with compressed air/nitrogen (see page 18 for more information on SL4 inline
regulator adjustment).
Solenoid Flow Restrictor Settings
Check that the solenoid ow restrictor (see gure 1B) is set as pictured. See
page 19 for more information on the solenoid ow restrictor.
Electronically Controlled Parameters
Load the FACTORY PRESET (see gure 1C) stored on the GEO3.5 circuit board.
This pre-set will restore all the electronic parameters to their default settings.
See page 29 on loading the FACTORY PRESET.

GEO3.5 MANUAL 7
Ensure that the GEO3.5 is switched off. Lay the marker on a at 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 key to remove the two countersunk screws that hold the
rubber grip onto the frame (see gure 2A). Peel the grip to the right to expose the
circuit board within the frame.
Remove the tted battery by sliding your thumb or nger into the recess below
the battery and levering the battery out of the frame (see gure 2B).
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 front side of the frame (see gure 2C).
Planet Eclipse recommends using a branded high quality alkaline 9V battery.
Budget and rechargeable batteries may cause performance issues.
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.
Replace the rubber grip and screw in the two countersunk screws.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE GRIP SCREWS

GEO3.5 MANUAL 9
WARNING!
The Geo3.5 may still re even if there is no paintball in the breech. Always
ensure all safety guidelines are followed when the Geo3.5 is switched on.
WARNING
USING THE BREAK BEAM
SENSOR SYSTEM
1 When the GEO3.5 is turned on, the BBSS is automatically enabled.
The Break Beam Sensor System, referred to elsewhere in this manual as ‘BBSS’
is used to detect when a paintball is ready to be red from the GEO3.5. If no
paintball is ready then the BBSS will inhibit the GEO3.5 from ring. This prevents
the GEO3.5 from “chopping” paintballs that are not fully loaded into the marker.1
To switch off the BBSS, press and hold the button for 0.5 seconds (see
gure 4A). The BBSS indicator on the top right of the LCD will change from
(enabled) to (disabled).
To switch the BBSS back on, press and hold the button for 0.5 seconds.
The indicator will change back to .
When the BBSS is enabled, the indicator will change depending upon whether
the system has detected a ball or not. When no ball has been detected the
indicator will look like this . When a ball has been detected the icon changes to
look like this .
Additional features of the GEO3.5’s Break Beam Sensor System are covered in
full on page 23 of this operators manual.

WARNING!
Make sure the marker is turned off and that no paintballs are in the marker
or loader before installing a barrel.
Always t a barrel-blocking device to the GEO3.5 when not in use.
WARNING
INSTALLING A BARREL
Every GEO3.5 comes complete with an Eclipse Shaft4 barrel (see page 70). The
bore size of the Shaft4 barrel back is engraved on the barrel back just in front of
the body threads.
To install the Shaft4 barrel, rstly screw the barrel tip and barrel back sections
together. The threads on the Shaft4 barrel tip are reverse threaded. To screw the
two sections together, with the barrel pointing away from you, turn the barrel tip in
a clockwise direction (see gure 6A).
While pointing the GEO3.5 marker in a safe direction, insert the assembled Shaft4
barrel into the front of the GEO3.5 body and screw the Shaft4 barrel into the
GEO3.5 (in a counter-clockwise direction). Continue to screw the Shaft4 barrel
into the GEO3.5 body until the barrel becomes snug in the body (see gure 6B).
DO NOT over tighten the barrel.
Install a barrel blocking device over the barrel such as the Eclipse barrel sock1
supplied with the GEO3.5 (see gure 6C).2
You have now installed the barrel.
1 The Eclipse barrel sock that comes with the GEO3.5 may dier from that pictured in this manual.
2 Instruction on using the Eclipse barrel sock can be found on the Eclipse barrel sock warning label.

12 GEO3.5 MANUAL
TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT
The GEO3.5 provides the user with the option to use either a micro-switch or an
OPTO sensor (default OPTO) as the means for detecting trigger pulls. Before you
begin to adjust and set your trigger, you must rst select the method of trigger
detection that you wish to use by entering the main menu and making your
selection from the hardware menu (see page 37).
There are ve adjustment points on the trigger – the front stop screw, the rear
stop screw, the magnet return strength screw, the micro-switch activation screw
and the spring return strength screw.

G- Rear stop screw
H- OPTO sensor activation prong
The front stop screw is used to set the amount of trigger travel prior to the marker
ring. 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 ring point and the marker will
not re. Turn this screw counter-clockwise to increase the amount of trigger travel
(see gure 7B).
The rear stop screw is used to set the amount of travel after the marker has
red. 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 ring point and the
marker will not work. Turn this screw counter-clockwise to increase the amount of
travel (see gure 7C).

CONTINUED
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 screw. Turn the screw counter-clockwise to
reduce the amount of force. Do not turn the screw too far or there may not be
enough force to return the trigger (see gure 7D).
The micro-switch activation screw is used to adjust the point in the trigger pull
at which the micro-switch is activated (only if the Trigger parameter on page 37
is set to ‘SWITCH’). Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the amount of trigger
travel to the activation point. Turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase the
amount of trigger travel to the activation point (see gure 7E). Do not set the
micro-switch activation screw too far out when using the OPTO sensors, as the
screw can stop against the micro-switch before the trigger prong enters the
OPTO sensors.
The spring return strength screw is used to adjust the spring strength that returns
the trigger to its resting position. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the amount
of spring return strength in the trigger pull. Turn this screw counter-clockwise to
reduce the amount of spring return strength in the trigger pull. Do not turn the
screw too far counter-clockwise or there will not be enough force to return the
trigger consistently (see gure 7F).
When setting the trigger it is important to ensure that the electronic trigger
detection is working correctly. When the trigger is fully depressed the Trigger
Detection Indicator (TDI) should point upwards . When the trigger is fully
released the TDI should point downwards .
For more information, see understanding the Trigger Detection Indicator (TDI) on
page 24 and the Filter menu on pages 34-36.
FIG 7D
FIG 7E FIG 7F
WARNING!
The trigger has been factory set to provide the necessary return force and
travel to minimize the risk of accidental discharge.
DO NOT make any adjustment to the trigger return strength, trigger actuation
point, trigger actuation pre-travel or trigger post actuation travel that could
result in an increased risk of accidental discharge.
This includes, but is not limited to, reducing the magnetic return force,
reducing the spring return force, reducing the trigger pre-travel to actuation
point or reducing the trigger post-travel after the actuation point.
The magnet return strength screw (see Fig7A - E) must NOT be adjusted so
that any part of the screw is visible beyond the inner surface of the trigger (see
Fig7D). The magnet return strength screw must NEVER be removed from the
trigger. Incorrect adjustment of the magnet return strength screw could result
in serious injury or death.
Prior to each use and before switching on the marker, visually inspect the
trigger to verify that all adjustment screws are in place and that no adjustments
have been made that may result in accidental discharge. If in doubt, seek
professional advice before switching on the marker.

ATTACHING A LOADER
WARNING!
Do not over tighten the clamping feed tube as this may damage the loader
or feed tube itself.
Paintball industry standard eye/face/ear and head protection designed
specically to stop paintballs and meeting ASTM standard F1776 (USA)
or CE standard (Europe) must be worn by the user and any person within
range during use, assembly, cleaning and maintenance at all times.
WARNING
Using a 5/32” hex key or your ngers, turn the sprocket screw of the clamping
feed tube counter-clockwise (see gure 8A).
Release the clamping lever on the feed tube (see gure 8B) and test to see
if your loader can easily be pushed into the top of the feed tube. If the loader
cannot easily be pushed into the feed tube, loosen the sprocket screw of the
clamping feed tube a little more by turning it counter-clockwise using a 5/32” hex
key or your ngers (see gure 8A).
When you have managed to push your loader into the clamping feed tube, close
the clamp to secure it rmly in place (see gure 8C). If the loader is loose then
you will need to release the clamp, tighten the sprocket screw slightly by turning
it clockwise with a 5/32” hex key or your ngers and close the clamp. Repeat this
process as necessary to secure your loader in place.
You have now attached a loader to your GEO3.5. Once you have lled your
loader and air tank you will then be ready to begin using your GEO3.5.

THE GAS THROUGH PIPE
FIG 9FFIG 9E
There is no need to unscrew or remove the gas pipe assembly during day to day
usage of the marker.
Compressed gas is transferred from the frame to the inline regulator via gas pipe
assembly (see gure 9A), comprising of a gas pipe section1Aand pipe nut
section B. It is essential that this gas pipe assembly is correctly installed before
the marker is supplied with compressed gas.
Before installing the gas pipe assembly, rstly inspect the o-rings on the pipe
for any debris or damage (labelled C gure 9A). Cleaning or replacing as
necessary. Also inspect the receiver holes in the frame (see gure 9B) and SL4
inline regulator (see gure 9C) for any debris or dirt, cleaning as necessary.
Screw the pipe section into the nut section fully before attempting to install the
gas pipe assembly in the marker (see gure 9D). Insert the o-ring end of the pipe
nut section into the SL4 regulator swivel (see gure 9E). Rotate the swivel and
gas pipe assembly to align the gas pipe section with the gas port in the frame.
Holding the pipe nut section in place inside the SL4 regulator swivel, screw
the gas pipe section clockwise to extend it into the frame (see gure 9F). If the
gas pipe assembly can slide backwards and forwards, then the pipe is not fully
installed and needs to be extended further.
The gas pipe only needs to be removed for maintenance procedures that require
removal of the SL4 inline regulator or the frame assembly.
1 The GEO and EGO gas pipe sections are not interchangeable.

INSTALLING A
PRE-SET AIR SYSTEM
WARNING!
• Make sure the marker is turned off with a barrel blocking device installed
and that no paintballs are in the marker or loader before installing an air
system.
• Compressed air and nitrogen systems can be extremely dangerous if
handled or used incorrectly.
• Only use an air system certied for use within the territory of intended use.
• The GEO3.5 cannot be used with CO2. Only USE compressed air or
nitrogen.
• Never add any lubricants or greases into the ll adapter of the air system
regulator.
• Ensure that all screws are tightened and no parts are loose before installing
an air system.
• Do not pressurise the GEO3.5 without the bolt system correctly installed, as
high pressure gas will be released.
• Do not install a compressed air system or load paintballs into the GEO3.5
until you feel completely condent with your ability to handle the marker
safely and responsibly.
• Always relieve all residual gas pressure from the GEO3.5 before
unscrewing the pre-set air system.
WARNING!
Check that the gas through pipe assembly is correctly installed
before installing a pre-set air system.
See page 15 for instructions on installing the gas through pipe
assembly.
If you are at all unsure about installation of the gas through pipe
please contact your nearest service centre.
WARNING
WARNING

GEO3.5 MANUAL 17
CONTINUED
Every GEO3.5 comes complete with an Eclipse push on purge system (POPS)
which provides a direct connection for a pre-set air system. Before screwing
an air system into the POPS ensure that the bonnet is disengaged in its forward
position (see gure 10A). If the bonnet is engaged, depress the latch button and
slide the bonnet forward.
Check that the POPS retaining screws are tight. If the POPS can be moved on the
frame the screws are too lose. Use a 5/32” hex key to tighten the screws.
Screw the pre-set air system into the POPS (see gure 10B) so that the bottle
screws in all the way and is tight.
Pull the bonnet backwards allowing the POPS pin to depress the valve pin in the
pre-set air system causing the GEO3.5 to become pressurised (providing that
there is sufcient air in your tank) (see gure 10C). When the bonnet has been
pulled back far enough it engages with the POPS body.1,2
You have now installed a pre-set air system onto your GEO3.5.
1 High, mid and low pressure output pre-set air systems can be used with the GEO3.5, providing
the GEO3.5 has the SL4 inline regulator originally supplied with the marker.
2 The force needed to engage the bonnet may vary depending on the output pressure and internal
design of the air system being used.

VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
+
_
When using your GEO3.5, you may wish to change the velocity at which your
GEO3.5 is ring. This is done by inserting a 1/8" hex key into the adjuster screw
at the bottom of your GEO3.5 inline regulator and adjusting it accordingly (see
Figure 11A). 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. On the bottom of the inline regulator
sleeve there are arrows to illustrate which direction to turn the hex key to make
the relevant adjustment.1,2,3
1 After each adjustment re two clearing shots to gain an accurate velocity reading.
Never exceed 300fps.
2 High, mid and low pressure output pre-set air systems can be used with the GEO3.5,
providing the GEO3.5 has the SL4 inline regulator originally supplied with the marker.
3 Turning the SL4 adjuster screw in too far will prevent the GEO3.5 from ring.

GEO3.5 MANUAL 19
SOLENOID
FLOW RESTRICTOR
WARNING!
Setting the restrictor too low (especially in extreme weather conditions)
may result in: low velocity, inconsistent velocity or preventing the bolt from
cycling. If this occurs Increase the SFR ow setting.
WARNING
The following section covers direct adjustment of the solenoid valve which should
only be used by users with a sound knowledge of the GEO3.5 ring cycle.
Built into the left side of the fame is the solenoid ow restrictor “SFR” (see gure
12A), which controls the exhaust ow from the bolt system through the solenoid
valve. By controlling the exhaust ow from the bolt system, the speed of the bolt
during the forward stroke can be sped up or slowed down. The SFR can be
adjusted using a 5/64” hex key.
The restrictor has a 90˚range of adjustment from minimum to maximum ow.
By setting the restrictor to different levels of ow the user can control how the gun
performs and feels when ring the marker
Setting the restrictor to a higher level of ow will allow for higher cycles per
second (dependent on the ROF Cap, see page 30). However these higher
settings will also reduce the smoothness of the ring cycle compared to setting
the restrictor at a lower level of ow.1
Setting the restrictor to a lower level of ow will increase the smoothness of
the ring cycle, however reducing the ow also lowers the cycling rate of the
GEO3.5.
1 The restrictor controls the forward stroke of the bolt. As such it has the ability to directly control
the velocity of the paintball. It is strongly recommended to chronograph the GEO3.5 after
adjusting the restrictor.
The SFR has a minimum and maximum exhaust ow setting.
The maximum exhaust ow setting can be achieved by turning the SFR dial
counter-clockwise so it is pointed vertical. This will allow the bolt to move
forwards at its fastest possible speed.
The minimum exhaust ow setting can be achieve by turning the SFR dial
clockwise so it is pointed horizontal. This setting will apply the greatest restriction
on gas exiting the marker, slowing down the bolt forward stroke.
The SFR can be set anywhere in between the minimum and maximum
In the event that you do not want this adjust-ability available on the marker, a
blanking plug is provided. This plug has the same effect as having the SFR set
to maximum ow.
To install the blanking plug. Push the SFR out of the right side of the frame using
a small hex key or pick (see gure 12B), then simply push in the blanking plug
making sure it is ush with the frame.

20 GEO3.5 MANUAL
UNLOADING THE GEO3.5
WARNING!
Always keep the Eclipse GEO3.5 pointed in a safe direction and ensure
all persons within range continue to wear face protection, until marker is
completely unloaded and safe.
WARNING
Securely attach a barrel blocking device such as the Eclipse Barrel Sock1
(supplied with the GEO3.5) to the marker as shown in Figure 13A.
Turn off the GEO3.5 electronics by holding down the button on the back of the
frame. When the screen turns off and the marker speaker emits the ‘off’ tone (if
the SOUND parameter is enabled), the marker has been turned off (see gure
13B).
With the GEO3.5 pointing away from you. De-gas the marker by depressing the
POPS latch button allowing the bonnet to slide forward and vent air. Only when
the POPS has fully degassed the GEO3.5 marker, unscrew and remove the air
system (see gure 13C).
Open the clamping lever on the feed tube and slacken off the sprocket screw
if necessary on the feed tube. Carefully pull the loader out of the feed tube (see
gure 13D).
Looking down the feed tube, check to see if there are any paintballs still in the
breech, if there are, turn the marker upside down while still keeping the barrel
facing away from any persons within ring range then tip out any paintballs within
the breech (see gure 13E & 13F).
Next remove the barrel blocking device, and unscrew the barrel (see gure 13G).
Remove any paintballs within the barrel. The Eclipse GEO3.5 has now been
unloaded and is ready for storage.
1 Instruction on using the Eclipse barrel sock can be found on the Eclipse barrel sock warning label.
