TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
MARKER SHOOTING SLOW WHEN EYE IS ON
AND BLINKING GREEN
• The eyes are not working correctly. Clean the eyes.
You'll know that they are clean if the LED turns red
when there is nothing inside the breech of the DM9.
• Make sure the eye wires are not broken or pinched.
• The battery may be low. In this case, the battery
should be changed as soon as possible.
• If nothing above helps contact a store or DYE
Precision for eye replacement.
SOLENOID WILL NOT ACTIVATE / TRIGGER
NOT WORKING
• Check that the trigger adjustment is not set so that
the microswitch cannot activate. You should hear a
small click when pulling the trigger.
• If the DM9 fires once when turned on but not after
that, your trigger is set so that the microswitch is
always activated. Re-adjust the trigger.
• Change the battery if not positive about it’s charge.
• Check that the solenoid cable is attached to the
board and to the correct connector (solenoid
should be attached to the two prong connector).
TRIGGER BOUNCE / DM9 SHOOTING
MORE THAN ONE BALL PER PULL IN SEMI-
AUTOMATIC MODE
• Raise the trigger sensitivity level in the
configuration mode.
• Check that the trigger is not adjusted too short.
• Make sure there is a trigger spring inside the frame.
• Change the battery.
• Check that the Hyper3™ regulator is working
correctly and that the pressure is consistent.
A separate regulator testing tool is available for
this. If needed, dis-assemble and change worn out
O-rings and the regulator seat in the Hyper3™
regulator.
• Check that the LPR pressure is not set too low.
See page 23 for instructions on how to set your
LPR pressure.
• Replace the seat in LPR (see instructions on page 22).
OTHER CATEGORIES
DOUBLE FEEDING
• If more than one ball is feeding at a time into the
breech of your DM9, check to see if the ball detents
are stuck behind the eye pipe. To make sure your
ball detents and eye pipe are properly assembled
see pages 26 and 27.
• Make sure the ball detents are not excessively worn.
BREAKING PAINT
• Make sure you use high quality paintballs and that
they are stored according to the manufacturers
instructions.
• Check that #14 O-ring on bolt tip is in place and in
good condition.
• Make sure your loader is working good and that the
rate of fire is not set higher than the maximum feed
rate of the loader.
• Check that the barrel you are using is not too tight
for the paintballs you are using.
• Make sure the ball detent system is working
properly. See pages 26 and 27.
• Be sure the LPR and Hyper3™ are not set too high
(see pages 23 and 24).
NOTES:
ERRATIC VELOCITY/DM9 WON’T FIRE
DM9 FIRES BUT BALLS ARE DROPPING OFF
OR NOT EVEN COMING OUT OF THE BARREL
• Make sure the battery is good.
• Raise the dwell to factory level (18).
• Make sure bolt is well lubed and moves well. If there
is too much friction in the bolt it will cause the DM9
to shoot down. Replace O-rings causing this excess
friction (generally the #017s, #011s or the #015
O-rings).
• Make sure air system is screwed in all the way.
FIRST SHOT IS TOO HIGH
• Change the seat inside the Hyper3™ Regulator.
For dis-assembly instructions consult page 25 in
the technical section.
• Check that the #014 O-ring on the inside of the
top hat is in place and in good condition.
• Try turning off the ABS feature by turning DIP #1 to
the OFF position.
VELOCITY IS NOT CONSISTENT
• Make sure the paintballs you are using fit the barrel
good and are consistent in size. The stock barrel
with the DM9 is .688 size. You should be able to
blow the paintball through the barrel but they
should not roll through the barrel on their own.
• Remove the bolt kit and re-lube it. Change any
O-rings causing a lot of friction. Make sure #014
O-ring in bolt tip is in place and in good condition.
• Raise the dwell.
