Note: Selector position (0) is used as a Safety in all Modes.

Value 1 - Semi-Auto/NPPL

– One shot per trigger pull. Max ROF

capped at 20 BPS.

Value 2 - Ramping/PSP

– The TM-7 will operate in Semi-Auto mode for the

first 3 safety shots; then if player maintains at least one pull per second, the
TM-7 will fire ‘X’ number of shots per pull and release of the trigger as
defined by function 6 (burst shots) at the rate of fire defined by function 2.
No trigger pull within one second of the last pull will reset the mode and the
user must fire 3 more safety shots to continue burst shots.

Value 3 - Full-Auto/NXL

– The TM-7 will operate in Semi-Auto mode for the

first 3 safety shots; then pull and hold trigger on the 4th shot, and the TM-
7 will fire full-auto at the Rate of Fire value in Function 2, which is default-
ed to 13 shots per second for this mode.

Value 4 - Ramping/Millennium

– The TM-7 will operate in Semi-Auto

mode until player achieves the minimum trigger pull as defined by the
Ramping Point value in Function 5, which is defaulted to 6 trigger pulls per
second for this mode. At that point, and as long as 6 trigger pulls per sec-
ond are maintained, the TM-7 will ramp to the Rate of Fire value in
Function 2, which is defaulted to 12 shots-per-second for this mode.

Value 5 - Recreational Mode - 

Selector Switch Position (1) - Standard

Semi-automatic- Max ROF capped at 20 BPS.

Selector Switch Position (2) - See Value 2 - Ramping/PSP.

Selector Switch Position (3) - The TM-7 will operate in Semi-Auto mode for
the first 3 safety shots; then pull and hold trigger on the 4th shot, and the
TM-7 will fire NXL full-auto at the Rate of Fire value in Function 2.

Note:

If you activate the Tournament Lock on your TM-7 while in

Recreational mode, all of the Selector Switch positions will still be live.

Note:

After modes 2 through 4 are selected, it is possible to raise or lower

both the Rate of Fire and Ramping Point values in case the tournament
rules change.

Max Rate of Fire (ROF) will be indicated by a solid GREEN LED.

The default Max ROF is 4 flashes (12 BPS).

Note:

The easy way to know your rate of fire: number of flashes divided

by two then add ten. Example: 15 flashes / 2 = 7.5, 7.5 + 10 = 17.5 BPS

Dwell Setting will be indicated by a solid ORANGE LED

The Dwell setting determines how long the Slip Stream(TM) Solenoid is
open. The Dwell is defaulted at setting 28 and is adjustable from 1 to 45. 

Note:

If the Dwell Setting is adjusted too high or low, the TM-7 will not

function correctly.

Ball in Place Delay (BIP) will be indicated by a flashing RED LED.

The BIP is defaulted at 10ms (each Flash = 1 millisecond). BIP is adjustable
from 1 to 40 milliseconds.

Note:

If you are not using a force-feed loader, it is recommended that you

use a higher BIP setting. 

Flashes/ROF             Flashes/ROF             Flashes/ROF

1 Flash = 10.5 BPS 
2 Flash = 11 BPS
3 Flash = 11.5 BPS
4 Flash = 12 BPS
5 Flash = 12.5 BPS
6 Flash = 13 BPS
7 Flash = 13.5 BPS

8 Flash = 14 BPS
9 Flash = 14.5 BPS
10 Flash = 15 BPS
11 Flash = 15.5 BPS
12 Flash = 16 BPS
13 Flash = 16.5 BPS
14 Flash = 17 BPS

15 Flash = 17.5 BPS
16 Flash = 18 BPS
17 Flash = 18.5 BPS
18 Flash = 19 BPS
19 Flash = 19.5 BPS
20 Flash = 20 BPS
