Air Supply -
The DM5 should be operated using air/nitrogen gas only. This air needs to be supplied to the Hyper2 in-line
regulator at a regulated pressure of no more than 800 psi. The Hyper2 in-line regulator comes factory preset at 175psi.
Turning On Your DM5 -
The DM5’s power is controlled by a simple two button membrane pad. The top button turns the
marker on and off, while the bottom button turns the eye on and off. Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the
marker on. The LED in the grip will illuminate during the boot sequence.
NOTE: If the eye is not working properly, try replacing the battery.
Blue
- Boot Sequence
Red
- Breech is clear, no ball (eye on)
Green
- Ball in breech, ready to fire (eye on)
Blinking Red
- Eye is off
Blinking Green
- Eye failure (see DM5 Board, page 13)
Blinking Blue
- Indicates a low battery,
battery should be changed as soon as possible
On/Off -
The On/Off knob is located under the barrel at the front of the DM5. To turn the gas
on, turn the knob counter-clockwise. To turn the gas off, turn the knob clockwise. All gas will
vent from the DM5 when the knob is turned off. Air may still be present in the LPR and solenoid
after the air has been vented from the marker by the on/off. Be sure all air has been vented by
discharging the marker in a safe direction. If servicing the marker, removal of the bolt will also allow
any trapped air to escape.
LPR
- The LPR is pre-set from the factory at approximately 75-80 psi and should need no adjustment
out of the box. If fine tuning adjustment is desired or needed, you must be sure that you are adjusting
the LPR correctly. See page 10 for detailed instructions. If the LPR is improperly adjusted, you could
dramatically hinder the DM5’s performance or prevent the marker from functioning at all.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the LPR’s output pressure. Turning the
adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the LPR’s output pressure.
Hopper -
To get the best performance out of your DM5, it is recommended that you use a motorized loader. Preferably
one that force feeds the paint really, really fast!
Feed Neck -
To secure your loader into the adjustable feed neck use a 5/32 Allen wrench.
Be careful not to over-tighten the collar as it can cause the neck to break.
Adjusting Velocity -
The velocity is adjusted through the Hyper
2
in-line regulator. The Hyper
2
in-line is preset from the
factory at approximately 170 psi. This pressure setting should have the marker shooting at about 285fps. Your paint-to-
barrel fit will also have a noticeable affect on your velocity. Make sure that the paintball fits into the barrel loosely but does
not drop through.
NOTE: For the Hyper
2
, turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the output pressure, decreasing the velocity.
Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the output pressure, increasing the velocity.
NOTE: If the battery is too low, it may not be able to power the solenoid correctly. This will affect your DM5’s velocity, causing it
to become inconsistent and/or low.
