The complete set version: at once you purchase all you
need to take total advantage from TITAN.
The best if you have already bought the TITAN Complete
Set but you long for having TITAN in two or more airsoft
guns. Then you don’t need the s e cond Tac ti c a l
Programming Card and the second USB-Link from the
complete set. This is also suitable for you if you decide to
Programming Card or USB-Link separately, or when you want to have your TITAN installed
and set up by an airsoft service and you don’t need to change settings.

What is the difference between using Tactical Programming Card or USB-Link?
The main difference is that the Tactical Programming Card is small, lightweight and
portable. Using USB-Link with GATE Control Station gives more functions, including
firmware update and requires connection to PC.

08 WWW.GATEE.EU
USER GUIDE
We recommend that this product should be installed by an experienced airsoft service.
Before starting installation process, please ensure that your AEG is empty and there are
no BBs inside.
Caution must be exercised to prevent short circuiting the battery as the consequences
can be very dangerous (fire, battery explosion, burn).
Incorrectly connecting positive and negative battery terminals will cause immediate
damage to the drop-in module what is not covered by the warranty and it can lead to fire,
burn or even battery explosion.
For your own safety, you should install an additional fuse between the battery and the
drop-in module. The fuse should be placed very close to the battery. It will protect the
battery in case of: (1) incorrectly connecting positive and negative battery terminals; (2)
shorting the power cords which connect battery and TITAN; (3) mechanical damage to
the drop-in module.
Do not attempt to connect the battery when the barrel of your AEG is directed toward
you, another person or an animal.
When you use the auto cell detection, ensure that your battery is charged. The cell
number may be incorrectly detected if your battery is discharged.
Before an airsoft game, we suggest to check the most recent configuration and delete
the registered Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC).
Prevent the USB-Link and the small end of the cable from contact with conductive
materials (e.g. dust, liquid, metal powder).
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories.

2. TITAN Drop-in Module
USER GUIDE
This version of TITAN is compatible with most V2 gearboxes.
TITAN is an electronic unit installed inside of
a gearbox. It replaces the trigger contacts
and the cut-off lever, which takes control of
your AEG. You can configure your TITAN
using the Tactical Programming Card or
U SB L i nk with G AT E Co ntrol Stati on
computer App.

2.2 SENSORS
TITAN has no less than eight sensors:
• 1 gear sensor • 2 selector sensors • 5 trigger sensors
10 WWW.GATEE.EU
USER GUIDE
Thanks to the optical sensors we have eliminated the problem of faulty switches that can
occur in competitors' drop-in mosfets. The trigger has no mechanical connections with the
PCB. This eliminates mechanical stresses and provides for high reliability.

2.3 Functions
TRIGGER SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
CONFIGURABLE FIRE SELECTOR (gen.2)
11
WWW.GATEE.EU
USER GUIDE
CYCLE DETECTION
PRE-COCKING (gen.2*)
Five trigger sensors allow you to control trigger sensitivity. You do not have to
disassemble your AEG. Just use the Tactical Programming Card or the GATE Control
Station App to adjust the trigger to your preferences and level of skills.
Two selector sensors allow you to use up to six fire selector modes, including innovative
SEMI-BURST-AUTO mode:
• SAFE-SEMI-AUTO
• SAFE-SEMI-SEMI
• SAFE-SEMI-BURST
• SAFE-BURST-AUTO
• SAFE-SEMI-BURST/AUTO (short press - BURST, long press - AUTO)
• SEMI-BURST-AUTO (SAFE mode via the fast switch SAFE-SEMI-SAFE)
Thanks to the gear sensor, TITAN precisely detects in which position the cycle should
finish. Therefore, even the shortest trigger action produces at least one full cycle.
Thanks to the cycle detection function you get:
• Automatic BURST – there is no need to set the burst time. You can set the burst between
two and 10 shots;
• Automatic PRE-COCKING – Pre-cocking is fully operational in SEMI, BURST and AUTO
modes. You can simply set the pre-cocking as high, mid or low;
• Full cycle - when the pre-cocking is off, TITAN ensures that the gearbox completes a full
cycle. You gain a higher reliability.
Victory in the game is often a matter of fractions of seconds. Thanks to 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.
There are two PRE-COCKING MODES:
• AUTO MODE – the spring is automatically compressed after each shot,
• SMART MODE – slow trigger action compresses the spring, and fast trigger action fires
the shot.
And three PRE-COCKING BOOST options: HIGH / MID / LOW
*Now the pre-cocking is fully operational in SEMI, BURST and AUTO modes and there is no
need to set the pre-cocking boost manually. There is an option to switch the pre-cocking mode
via fire selector (p. 44).
Please note: using PRE-COCKING increases wear and tear on the gearbox.

BURST (gen.2*)
12 WWW.GATEE.EU
USER GUIDE
ROF CONTROL
ROF STAB
SMART TRIGGER
SNIPER DELAY
The burst enables you to shoot a pre-determined number of BBs, which is very useful in
MILSLIM and when using low-caps. The BURST mode is available after setting the proper
fire selector mode. There are two BURST modes:
• FULL – every, even the shortest trigger action fires the pre-determined number of
rounds,
• TRIG – releasing the trigger while firing stops the burst sequence.
* There is no need to set burst time. You can easily set burst between two and 10 shots.
This enables a reduction in a gun's rate of fire. You use stronger LiPo batteries, and still
have a ROF just like in a real gun.
It allows you to change the way the ROF Control works:
ON - ROF Control uses PWM to decrease ROF. Thanks to this gearbox works smoothly
what decreases wear and tear of AEG internal parts.
OFF - ROF Control adds breaks between shots to decrease ROF. It gives you more realistic
experience.
It lets you to set delay between each SEMI shots to simulate the delay from reload or recoil.
You can set 0.5s, 1s, 2s or 3s delay.
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 ROF, 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.
*Works only when ROF STAB is ON.

AUG MODE

WWW.GATEE.EU
USER GUIDE
BATTERY PROTECTION (gen.2*)
LOW BATTERY WARNING
SMART FUSE
ADAPTIVE ACTIVE BRAKE
MOSFET
Enjoy two stage trigger. Activate AUG Mode and set two different trigger sensitivities.
Pulling the trigger slightly produces SEMI or BURST fire and pulling the trigger further
produces BURST or AUTO fire (depending on the fire selector mode).
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, it will not allow firing.
*TITAN detects the number of cells automatically. There is no need to reprogram TITAN every
time you replace the battery.
When the battery cells' voltage drops to a predefined level, the motor will vibrate at
regular intervals.
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.
It automatically adjusts the motor's braking power according to your needs. This prolongs
the lifespan of the motor.
Do you want to achieve a higher ROF and faster trigger response? Are you planning a
power upgrade of your gun? 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 ROF of the gun and a faster trigger
