OLED Display
Membrane Pad Installing a preset air system
Your marker comes equipped with a high quality venng ASA (Air System Adaptor)
that is designed for use with commercially available air/nitrogen systems.
The venng ASA included with your marker uses a knob to turn the air from your
preset system on or o. Before installing your preset air system, you must unscrew
the ASA knob by approximately 3 turns.
Once this is done, carefully screw your air system into the ASA unl it stops.
Turning the air on and o
To pressurise your marker, screw the ASA knob down unl it stops. This will depress
the pin on the end of your air system and pressurise the marker (provided you have
sucient air in your air system).
To depressurise your marker, unscrew the ASA knob unl you hear the air being
vented from the cap. Your air system is now turned o and safe to remove.
WHEN SCREWING YOUR AIR SYSTEM INTO THE ASA, THE THREADS SHOULD BE
LOOSE. IF AT ANY POINT THEY BECOME TIGHT, DO NOT FORCE THE THREADS,
THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR AIR SYSTEM OR YOUR MARKER!
NOTE: WHEN YOU UNSCREW THE ASA KNOB, YOUR MARKER MAY STORE ONE
SHOT. POINT THE MARKER IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND FIRE OFF THAT SHOT
BEFORE ENTERING A SAFE AREA. 8

QUICK SETUP
Switching your Cyborg on and o
The on/o buon is located on a membrane pad on the rear of the frame. Push the
buon with the power symbol ( ), when done correctly, your OLED will display the
MacDev logo and the marker will be set with the beam sensor system on and ready
to re. Turn your marker o by holding the power buon down unl the OLED system
goes blank.
Firing your marker
If a paintball is loaded in your marker, and the power is switched on, you may re the
marker by pulling the trigger. If a paintball is not loaded, then you need to either load
one, or read the secon below on disabling the beam sensor.
Understanding the beam sensor
Your marker is equipped with a visible light sensor to determine if a paintball is cor-
rectly loaded. This system is used to prevent accidental ball breakage due to misloaded
paintballs. The OLED indicator on the side of your grip will show you the status of the
beam sensor:
Disabling the beam sensor
To disable the sensor (for dry ring), hold the scroll buon on the membrane pad ( )
unl the beam sensor disabled icon appears on the OLED display. You can re-enable the
beam sensor the same way.

USING YOUR CYBORG
To get the most out of your Cyborg, make sure that you follow the instrucons in this secon to ensure that the
Cyborg is adjusted correctly.
Adjusng the velocity
Your Cyborg is equipped with internal digital gauges to help you tune your gun. Your gun will be pretuned when
you get it, so you can adjust your velocity using the adjustment point on the front of your grip frame. use a 1/8”
allen key from the set provided, and use only small adjustments whilst checking over a chrono. Turn an clock-
wise to increase velocty.
Adjusng the trigger
Your trigger has four adjustment screws, they are located in the front face of the trig-
ger and also on the upper face. In order of top to boom, they are the trigger rest
point, spring tension, actuaon point and stop point.
You can easily adjust these screws to personalise the feel of your trigger.
Using a loader with your Cyborg
Your marker can operate using any commercially available loader. The soware
and beam sensor will compensate for the speed of the hopper, ensuring that
the marker res as quickly as the loader allows.
Installing a loader onto your Cyborg
Open the cam lever as shown. This should allow your loader neck to t into
the feed tube as shown. If your loader does not t into the feed tube, then
you may have to loosen the cam lever - this is done by rotang the cam lever
(anclockwise). Once your loader is pushed all the way down into the feed
tube, close the cam lever. If your loader is loose, you may need to open the
cam lever, and ghten it (by turning clockwise) to adjust the cam system to
hold your hopper ghtly. Only ever adjust your cam lever by one turn at a me
to prevent overghtening.
Removing your loader
Open the clamp by swinging the lever on its hinge. This will loosen the loader
and allow you to remove it easily. If it does not remove easily, then it means
that you have the cam lever overghtened.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN YOUR FEED CLAMP! OVERTIGHTENING MAY RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO YOUR LOADER OR CLAMP.
DO NOT ADJUST YOUR VELOCITY ABOVE 300FPS, AND ALWAYS OBEY LOCAL LAWS
AND REQUIREMENTS.
CAUTION! WHEN ADJUSTING THE SWITCH ACTUATION SCREW, MAKE CERTAIN
THAT YOU DO NOT ADJUST THE SCREW IN TOO FAR, AS THIS MAY RESULT IN
DAMAGE TO YOUR MICROSWITCH.

Replacing the baery
Remove the three screws holding the wrap around grip onto the le hand side of your grip frame. Gently remove the
baery from the clip on harness. Replace the baery with a high quality alkaline 9V baery (type 6LR61).
ADVANCED SETUP
About the tourney lock
The marker board is equipped with a tourney lock system. When the tourney lock system is acvated, the marker can-
not be reprogrammed on the eld - making it tournament legal.
If your board is in locked mode, you can view your sengs, but a lock indicator will be shown on the right hand side of
the screen, indicang that your board will need to be unlocked before sengs may be changed.
The lock status can be changed by opening the le hand side of the marker wrap around grip to gain access to the cir-
cuit board. The tournament lock is a black buon. tap the buon and you will see a tourney lock screen. Use the scroll
buon to change the status to o, then hold the trigger to conrm. if done correctly, you will now be able to adjust the
sengs on your board.
Programming the soware
To program the board, hold down the trigger whilst turning the marker on. When done correctly, you will see a message
on your display screen indicang that programming mode is loading. You must connue to hold the trigger unl the
program mode is loaded, then release the trigger.
Categories
Inside the programming system, sengs are organised into categories. Select the desired category by scrolling down
with the scroll buon ( ) , or up with the power buon ( ). Enter the category by holding the trigger.
Once inside a category, you can use the scroll and power buons to scroll through to dierent sengs. They may
be adjusted by holding in the trigger, then adjusng the value with the scroll or power buons.

Dwell - the amount of me your solenoid is given power - the Cyborg 6 should be set to a maximum of 10ms. If the
weather is very cold, or your marker requires it, you may set this a lile higher.
Debounce - the amount of bounce ltering applied by the soware. This seng may be increased to remove un-
wanted trigger bounce.
Eye delay - this is a parameter used to give a paintball me to sele in the breach of the gun. If you have unex-
plained ball breakage, then you may need to increase this seng.
Eye sensivity - the sensivity of the soware to changes in your eyes. Please do not change this parameter unless
directed (default 10).
Bolt delay - a me used in the soware for eecve tracking of the paintball bolt. Please do not change this pa-
rameter unless directed (default 8ms).
Clearing shot - a clearing shot funcon will allow the user to force a shot by holding the trigger in - even if the eyes
cannot detect a ball. Set this to o, if you would not like to use this funcon.
FSDO me - FSDO stands for First Shot Drop O. If you leave your gun for some me, and the rst shot is lower
than it should be, then you can use this parameter to correct it. This parremter is the me that the soware waits
before correcng for FSDO.
FSDO dwell - this is the amount of extra dwell given to the solenoid to overcome FSDO - if directed to do so by the
above parameter.
Preferences category
This category contains sengs related to the user experience.
Boot screen - The boot screen can be disabled if desired.
Sound - sound can be disabled if desired.
ROF meter - the sengs for the ROF meter may be changed here. You can adjust the number of shots sampled,
and if the maximum is held to the peak (peak hold).
System category
This category contains system informaon and sengs.
Total shots - total shots since your board was made.
Version - current soware version.
Zero pressure - This is used to zero your pressure transducer. If your pressure transducer is reading incorrect val-
ues it can be zeroed here. You must have your gun empty of all pressure before performing this acon - if it is not,
you will get incorrect transducer readings.
Using an RF transmier
Your stock board has provision for an RF transmier aachment. To use the RF transmier funcon, you must
plug a compable RF transmier module into the RF transmier plug (directly under the eye plugs on your
board), and it will be acvated automacally.
Using the USB connector
Your stock board has a mini USB connector on the boom of the board to the right of the 9V baery. The USB
connecvity may be used to update your soware via a standard USB/mini USB cable.
Never update your board with soware unless it has been downloaded directly from the MacDev website
(www.macdev.net), the use of non genuine soware on your stock board will immediately void your en-
re marker warranty. 14
Cyborg 6.indd 15-16 8/04/2014 1:06:01 PM

MAINTENANCE
If you take 10 minutes aer every day of play to maintain your marker, you will be rewarded with consistent reli-
able performance.
You should perform basic cleaning aer every day of play, and you should perform drivetrain maintenance every
10 cases. You should perform inline regulator maintenance every 25 cases. You can clean and maintain your
marker more oen, it is up to you.
When maintaining your marker, use only MacDev accessories. Your marker is packaged with an allen key set and a
small tub of MacDev Milia Lube, only use Milia Lube for lubricaon.
Basic cleaning
Aer using your marker, always clean old paint from the outside. Always clean your barrel using a barrel swab to
remove traces of dirt and paint. Use your barrel swab to clean the breech and feed tube in a similar way.
Your marker internal parts are quite well protected and sealed. However, when not in use, dirt can get into the
marker and cause problems - so storage of your marker is just as important as cleaning. When storing your marker,
ensure that it is stored a bag that is free of dirt, otherwise dirt may get into the venng ASA or breech.
Maintaining the drivetrain
Your drivetrain should be maintained aer every 20,000 shots (10 cases). You may maintain your drivetrain more
frequently if you wish.
Before working on your drivetrain, ensure that your marker is degassed, dry re the gun with safety to ensure
that there is no air remaining. Once that is done, pull the pullpin upwards rmly unl it clicks, and pull the bolt
backwards out of your marker. Next, unscrew the drive cap, and remove the drivetrain. Set aside your marker so
that you can focus on the drivetrain.
The disassembled drivetrain is shown below. To maintain your drivetrain, clean and re lubricate the following
o-rings; hammer switch, hammer front and bolt outside. Also clean and relubricate the inside of the ram body
before sliding the hammber back into the ram body, and re-assembling the drive.
Aer working on your drivetrain, reassemble it, then slide it back into your marker. Once thr drive is secured, slide
the bolt back in, and take care to locate the pullpin back into the groove on the hammer.

Simple Maintenance:
Yes, its that easy. The right

parts, but you don’t need to
open your regulator further,
unless you need to trouble-
shoot it.
Bottomworks
Maintaining the inline regulator
We recommend that you maintain your regulators every 20,000 shots (10 cases), or 3 months, whichever comes rst.
Your Cyborg 6 has two regulators, the high pressure regulator (located in the grip frame) and the low pressure regula-
tor (located in your front grip). These regulators are almost idencal, and the same procedure can be used for both
regulators.
Before working on your inline regulator, make certain that the air supply is turned o (via the venng ASA), and safely
re any gas out of the gun to ensure it does not have any residual pressure.
Use a 1/4” allen key to unscrew and remove the inline regulator boomworks and o-ring retainer - these should come
out together. Then p the spring out and put it aside.
To remove the piston, use the 3/32” allen key from your set, and push it gently into the hole in the end of the piston
(sll inside your inline regulator body). Push the key slightly to one side and use it to pull the piston our of your inline
regulator body.
CAUTION: take care not to damage the end of the piston. Do not use pliers, sharp tools or excessive force to ex-
tract the piston - a damaged piston will require replacement, it cannot be repaired. If you are unsure of the piston
removal, ask a technician to do it for you.
Clean dirt and old grease from your piston. Relubricate the piston o-ring and piston sha with Milia Lube, before put-
ng the spring onto the piston, and ng the piston and spring back onto the regulator boomworks. Finally, screw
the assembly back into your inline regulator body, and ghten lightly into place using your 1/4” allen key.
A picture of the parts inside your regulator are shown on the adjacent page. Please note that to complete this simple
maintenance, you do not need to completely disassemble the regulator as shown, all the parts are shown to help you
if you need it for troubleshoong.
