WARFET Features
WARFET is GATE's most advanced AEG Control System. It has 20 functions and
almost 6 million possible configurations. The outstanding Tactical Programming
Card provides you with very easy access to the WARFET Power Module settings.
Thanks to the Pre-cocking and Smart Trigger functions, you can achieve a trigger
response similar to a real gun. The Programmable Burst (1-5 rounds) enables you to
fire a pre-determined number of BBs, which is very useful in MILSLIM and for using
low-caps. Another function is ROF Control, which allows you to reduce ROF, so you
can use strong LiPo batteries, and still have ROF just like in a real rifle. If your AEG
becomes jammed, the Smart Fuse protects the battery and the motor against
damage. It also prevents deep battery drain. Moreover, with WARFET you get:
MOSFET, ON/OFF Active Brake, Built-in self-test, Debouncing, and more. Many
useful functions, great electrical specifications and conformal coating (military
specifications: MIL-V-173C) make the AEG Control System able to meet the needs
of most experienced airsoft players.
SUPER-EASY INSTALLATION - JUST PLUG&PLAY, NO SOLDERING REQUIRED
• User-friendly configuration via the Tactical Programming Card
• Sturdy and super-small size WARFET Power Module
• Compatibility with the strongest AEG replicas and batteries (ready to work with
LiPo 14.8V, 5000 mAh, 60C)
• Tested with car batteries
• Super-easy installation - thanks to the Mini Tamiya adapters, you can connect
WARFET to the original (stock) wiring
• It can work with most built-in MOSFETs
• With stock wiring, WARFET reduces melting switch assemblies

WARFET Power Module parameters
• In hardwired installation, WARFET draws the energy from the battery directly
to the motor, bypassing the mechanical trigger contacts
• Resistant to atmospheric conditions (military specifications: MIL-V-173C)
• Deep-drain protection for 7.4V, 11.1V, 14.8V LiPoly and 9.6V, 12.8V LiFePO4
• Improves battery life, ROF, spring life and gearbox reliability
The outstanding Tactical Programming Card provides you with very easy access to
the WARFET Power Module settings. All you need to do is to connect the Tactical
Programming Card between the battery and the Power Module. A big advantage is
that there is no need to use any additional wires. The WARFET Power Module can
be fitted out of view in your AEG, and you still have easy access to its settings. The
Tactical Programming Card communicates with the WARFET Power Module and
displays the most recently saved settings. You can simply change them using three
buttons.

Key Functions
The outstanding Tactical Programming Card provides you with very
easy access to the Power Module settings. All you need to do is
connect the Tactical Programming Card between the battery and the
Power Module.
Tactical Programming Card
Victory in the game is often a matter of fractions of seconds. Thanks to
the PRE-COCKING, you gain a trigger reaction similar to a real gun. It
allows for initial spring compression, which speeds up the trigger
response significantly. You can set the time of PRE-COCKING using the
Tactical Programming Card. There are two PRE-COCKING MODES:
1) AUTO MODE – the spring is automatically compressed after each
shot,
2) TRIGGER MODE – the first trigger action compresses the spring, and
the second trigger action fires the shot.
Pre-Cocking
Super-easy installation, just plug and play. No soldering required. All
you need to do is connect the battery and the rifle to the Power
Module.
PLUG&PLAY
The burst enables you to shoot a pre-determined number of BBs (1-5
rounds), which is very useful in MILSLIM and when using low-caps.
You can transform AUTO MODE to BURST MODE or SEMI MODE to
BURST MODE*. The Tactical Programming Card allows you to set the
burst time. The Power Module automatically corrects the burst time
according to the voltage level of the battery.
Programmable Burst
USER GUIDE
08 WWW.GATEE.EU
WARFET
Please note: using PRE-COCKING increases wear and tear on the
gearbox. PRE-COCKING is designed for SEMI mode. In the AUTO mode,
it can result in blank shots.
*SEMI to BURST in modified installations only.

Burst mode enables you to make 3-shot series. In this way you can
save ammunition and increase the realism. You can change AUTO
mode to BURST mode or SEMI* mode to BURST mode.
If in SAFE/SEMI/BURST mode you release the trigger earlier, you can
make one or two shots. The burst time is set in the menu with accuracy
to 4ms. The processor actively compensates for the change in burst
time with a decrease in the rate of fire due to battery discharging.
3-rd burst
The function gives you the option to program your fire selector.
There are five modes:
Configurable Fire Selector
This ensures there is no loss of the rifle’s rate of fire, so you can use
stronger LiPo batteries, and still have ROF just like in a real gun.
Rate Of Fire Control
We know how vital the fast trigger response is during combat. This is
why we have developed the Smart Trigger function. It enables you to
achieve a faster trigger response. It works with the ROF Control
system. During the first shot, the microprocessor sets the ROF Control
to 100%. After the first shot, it switches to a previously programmed
value (e.g. 50%). As a consequence, the first shot is fired at a full rate of
fire, and subsequent shots at a reduced ROF. The best results can be
achieved by using a battery with a higher than standard voltage. For
example, if you use a 7.4V battery, you can replace it with 11.1V. In this
way, you will achieve a faster trigger response with the same rate of
fire as with a standard battery. The Smart Trigger is most effective
when the Burst time is set at 3 rounds.

Battery Protection
Protection against Over-Discharge of the Battery. Modern LiPo and
LiFe batteries are very sensitive to over-discharge. If you do not want
to damage the battery and you care about its service life, this
protection is indispensable. The microprocessor monitors the battery
voltage constantly. When the voltage drops down to a critical level,
the Power Module will not allow firing.
Smart Fuse
We have developed an electronic fuse with an accurate current
sensor. A combination of current, voltage and temperature
measurements makes your AEG installation highly reliable. It protects
the MOSFET against overheating, overloading and short-circuiting. If
your airsoft gun becomes jammed, the function protects the motor
and battery against damage.
We know how important reliability is on the battlefield. That's why the
unit has thermal protection. In tandem with a time-lag fuse, it fully
protects your AEG installation.
Electronic Fuse
The provides you with the opportunity to decide if you
want to use the Active Brake function. If you do not need this, you can
turn it off easily. It will lead to improving the lifespan of your motor.
Power Module
ON/OFF Active Brake
Do you care about realism? Would you like to increase the life of the
gearbox? Does your rifle have such a high rate of fire that you are not
able to make a single shot? The Active Brake sorts things out. In SEMI
Mode, the brake does not allow for compressing a piston after a shot.
The piston will stop in the front position which eliminates
unnecessary stresses, increasing the service life of the gearbox and its
parts. This is important, especially with an AEG power upgrade. After
releasing the trigger, the rifle immediately stops firing. So, you gain
more realism and, additionally, you do not waste your precious
ammunition.
Active Brake

MOSFET
Do you want to achieve a higher rate of fire and faster trigger
response? Are you planning a power upgrade of your rifle? In that
case, you need a MOSFET.
It targets the energy from the battery directly to the motor, bypassing
the mechanical trigger contacts. As a result, you gain a higher rate of
fire of the rifle and a faster trigger response, and the contacts are
protected against burn out.
Debouncing
This provides full compatibility with the micro-switches. It ensures full
resistance to contact bounce (vibration). You gain a bigger ROF, a
faster trigger response and your MOSFET is less prone to overheating.
Built-In Self-Test
It allows you to quickly check whether the works properly.
If you have problems with your AEG, the BUILT-IN SELF-TEST allows you
to check that the problem is not caused by the Power Module.

rd
3 Generation MOSFET
The advent of modern transistors and microcontroller has enabled us
to create the smallest and most reliable Power Module on the market.
Dark Mode
DARK MODE allows you to turn off the green LED which lights up
when a gun is firing. This function is especially useful during night
games.
Coating
Thanks to its special conformal coating, it is resistant to atmospheric
conditions (Military Specification MIL-V-173C).
14.8V LI-PO Ready
The system can be used with batteries up to 14.8V LI-PO. Minimum
operating voltage is 3V and maximum voltage is 17V.

There is no Programming Card included in this kit.
The Programming Card is necessary for proper configuration.
The WARFET Power Module is dedicated for users who, for example, have
a few guns, and want to use several WARFETs. Therefore, they do need
only one Tactical Programming Card for configuration of all their WARFETs.
If you have already bought a standard version of WARFET
with Tactical Programming Card, and you want to buy one WARFET more,
purchasing WARFET Power Module is more profitable.

Step 2. Adapt AEG installation.
To adapt the standard AEG installation to work with WARFET Power Module you
have to get to the trigger contacts. In case of GB v2 contacts are located inside
a gearbox. With a version 3 gearbox, installation is easier because the contacts are
on the outside of the gearbox. Please consult a local airsoft technician if you have
never disassembled a gearbox before or if you have any installation concerns.
