This section will discuss the four menu items in detail so that a user will
understand fully the purpose and use of each menu item.
Dwell - (Factory Default Value = 8 milli-seconds) The Dwell menu item is
used to change the amount of time that power is supplied to the solenoid.
The solenoid is the part of the electronics which actually contacts the sear
of the marker, allowing it to re. This setting will directly affect the battery
life of the E-Grip. If this is changed to a value less than 8 milli-seconds, your
E-Grip battery will last longer, but this may not allow the solenoid enough
time to trip the sear properly. If this value is set greater than 8 milli-seconds,
the solenoid will have power supplied to it for a longer time, but will reduce
the life of the battery. Changing this value can cure or create performance
issues for the user. This menu item can only be updated with the values
of 2-20 milli-seconds.
Debounce - (Factory Default Value = 52 milli-seconds) The Debounce
menu item is used to change the amount of time between accepted trigger
pulls. Quite simply, this adjusts the amount of time from one trigger pull being
accepted by the electronics to the next trigger pull which can be accepted.
If a Debounce setting is too low, a user may shoot more times than they
had expected. This can be explained by what is called “Trigger Bounce.”
When a paintball marker is red, the marker will move and vibrate in a user’s
hand. This vibration can allow the trigger to reset itself and trip without the
user realizing that their nger has actually moved. NOTE: This menu item
can only be updated with the values of 25-65 milli-seconds.
Rate-of-Fire - (Factory Default Value = 13 bps) The Rate-of-Fire menu
item may be used to update the Safe Full-auto Firing mode. This is the only
Special Firing Mode which is affected by this menu item. All other Special
Firing modes cannot have their rate of re adjusted. This menu item can
only be updated with the values of 8-15 bps. Modifying the electronics to
shoot more than 15bps is not recommended, and may void the warranty.
Menu Items:
Dwell, Debounce, Rate-of-re, and Special Firing Mode
There are several programming options which affect the operation of the
Tippmann E-Grip. The Advanced User Programming has been designed
to allow users the maximum amount of customization possible for their
E-Grip. There are four menu items in the Advanced User Programming:
Dwell, Debounce, Rate-of-Fire, and Special Firing Mode. Read and
familiarize yourself with each of these items as they are explained in the
following section.
