PLANET ECLIPSE PAINTBALL EQUIPMENT IS NOT A TOY.
PAINTBALL SAFETY RULES MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL
TIMES.
Careless or improper use of the marker and/or parts, including
failure to follow instructions and warnings within this User Manual
could cause serious injury or even death.
Do not remove or deface any warnings attached to the marker.
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. Proper protection must be
worn during assembly, cleaning and maintenance.
Hearing protection should be worn.
Never shoot at a person who is not wearing proper protection.
Never look directly into the barrel of the marker. Accidental
discharge into the eyes may cause permanent injury or even
death. Never look into the barrel or breech area of the marker
whilst the marker is switched on and able to re.
Keep the marker switched off until ready to shoot.
Treat every marker as if it is loaded and ready to re.
The electronic On/Off button or mechanical Safety switch is the
marker’s disabling device. Always switch the marker off when not
in use.
Always t a barrel-blocking device to the marker when not in use.
Always remove paintballs from the marker when not in use.
Do not eld strip or remove any parts while the marker is
pressurised.
Do not pressurise the marker without all the components of the
marker correctly installed, as high-pressure gas may be emitted.
Do not re the marker without the bolt correctly installed.
Never put your nger or any foreign objects into the paintball
feed tube of the marker.
Never allow pressurised gas to come into contact with any part of
your body.
Always remove the rst stage regulator and relieve all residual
gas pressure from the marker before disassembly.
Always remove the rst stage regulator and relieve all residual
gas pressure from the marker for transport and storage.
Always follow guidelines given with your rst stage regulator for
safe transportation and storage.
Always store the marker in a secure place.
Observe all local and national laws, regulations and guidelines.
Persons under 18 years of age must have adult supervision when
using or handling the marker.

Only use professional paintball elds where codes of safety are
strictly enforced.
Use compressed air/nitrogen only. Do not use any other
compressed gas or pressurised liquid including CO2.
Always follow instructions, warnings and guidelines given with any
rst stage regulator you use with the marker.
Use 0.68 inch calibre paintballs only.
Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball,
using a suitable chronograph.
Never shoot at velocities in excess of 300 feet (91.44 metres) per
second, or at velocities greater than local or national laws allow.
Any installations, modications or repairs should be carried out by
a qualied individual at a licensed and insured paintball facility.

SETTING UP
Warning !
Always make sure that the marker is OFF with a barrel blocking device installed and
that no paintballs are in the marker or loader before attaching an air system.
Compressed air and nitrogen systems can be extremely dangerous if handled or used
incorrectly.
Only attach an air system certied for use within the country of use.
Never add lubricants or grease into the ll adaptor 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 marker without the bolt system correctly installed, as high
pressure gas will be emitted.
Do not install a compressed air system or load paintballs into the marker until you feel
condent with your ability to handle the marker safely and responsibly.

to switch the marker On/Off.
FIG-1
SWITCHING THE ETHA3 ON
Press and hold the On/Off button. Release the
On/Off button when the status indicator lights
up.
On power up, if the marker is unable to load
its previous settings it will restore the factory
settings. If this happens, the LED will ash
RED (error), then BLUE factory reset).
See pages 16-17 for settings.
SWITCHING THE ETHA3 OFF
Press and hold the On/Off button. Release the
On/Off button when the status indicator turns
RED. The marker will now switch off.
FIRING THE ETHA3
Pull the trigger to re the marker. If the marker
is ON and able to re then it will do so. warning!
If the On/Off button does not work contact your local Eclipse Dealer immediately and
do not use the marker.
When the marker is On, the marker is live and will re with every pull of the trigger, if
an air system is tted.

The status indicator is visible on each side of the marker and is used to
indicate a number of different things.
BREECH SENSOR STATUS
After power up the status indicator Cwill display the status of the
breech sensor (BS). The breech sensor (BS) is used to detect paintballs
in the breech of the marker.
The table below shows each LED colour and its relevant BS status.
BATTERY STATUS
1Tap the On/Off button Bwhen the marker is On.
2The status indicator Cwill indicate the status of the battery for
2 seconds (see the table below for battery status colour
information).
The status indicator also indicates the various marker parameter
settings. See pages 16-17.

WARNING!
DO NOT exceed 300FPS.
ALWAYS wear correct protective equipment when ring your marker.
NEVER point your marker in the direction of other people when not on the eld.
ALWAYS be aware of where the barrel is facing when adjusting the velocity.

The trigger spring screw Badjusts the spring
strength of the trigger return. Clockwise
increases the spring strength, counter-
clockwise reduces the spring strength.

warning!
Do not wind the screws in too far as this may prevent
the marker from ring or even damage the marker.
If the pre-travel screw is wound in too far this could
cause the marker to re unintentionally.

ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY:
ATurn the hex key clockwise to reduce velocity.
BTurn the hex key counter-clockwise to increase velocity.

SUB TITLE PRESETS
To modify the control parameters you must access the set-up mode:
1Fully depress and hold the trigger.
2Switch on the marker.
3The status indicator should ash WHITE.
4Release the trigger.
If the status indicator ashes RED then access to set-up is denied
because the tournament lock is still on. Turn off the tournament lock
(page 33) and try again.
Once in set-up mode, use the trigger to cycle through the parameters,
indicated by the colour of the status indicator (see table below).
Quickly press the On/Off button to display the current parameter value.
A long LED ash indicates the unit, whilst a short LED ash indicates the
tenth. E.g. 5 long ashes and 3 short ashes would indicate 5.3.
MODIFYING A PARAMETER
1Enter the set-up mode.
2Select a parameter using the trigger.
3Push and hold On/Off button for 1 second to select.
4The LED will go off.
5Increase the unit value using the trigger, one pull per unit.
6Push the On/Off button to switch to tenths values.
7Increase the tenths value using the trigger, one pull per tenth.
Do not pull the trigger if the value should be 0.
8Push the On/Off button to conrm. The status indicator will
ash 3 times: GREEN if the value is accepted, RED if the value
is invalid. If the status indicator was red then try again.
9Push and hold the On/Off button until the status indicator turns
BLUE to exit set-up mode.
To reset all of the parameters to their factory-set default values press
and hold the tournament lock button for 2 seconds while in set-up
mode. The status indicator will ash BLUE when the parameters have
been reset.
1The settings will return to their previous saved values if you do
not pull the trigger for 5 seconds.
2If a parameter does not support tenths, this will be skipped.

The Preset parameter is used to quickly set up the marker to operate
within the rules of the most common paintball leagues. Simply set the
Preset parameter to the required value as shown in the table below.
The rate of re caps used by the presets are safe values to allow for
variations in rate of re measuring equipment.
To change the rate of re, rst set the preset parameter and then set
the two maximum ROF parameters (GREEN and BLUE).
