ANTI CHOP EYES
The Anti Chop Eye (ACE) system will help prevent the M3s from chopping paint by
preventing the marker from firing until a ball is fully seated in front of the bolt. The eyes
use a light beam across the breech. In order for the marker to fire with the eyes turned
on, the signal between the two eyes must be broken (a paintball in the breach). After
every shot, before the next ball drops in the breech, the eye transmitter and receiver must
see each other. If there is a malfunction, the LED’s on the board will start blinking green.
This means that the eyes do not see each other. If this is the case, there are normally two
reasons. Either there is dirt, paint or grease blocking the beam, or the battery is so low
there is not enough power to create a strong enough light beam.
Turning anti chops eyes off or on: The eye system is automatically powered on during
boot up.
To turn the eyes on or off, press and hold the joystick down for 2 seconds. The LED light
will begin flashing red when eyes are off.
To turn the eyes back on, press and hold the joystick down for 2 seconds until the LED
turns either red or green.
LED LIGHT COLOR INDEX
Red:
Breech is clear, no ball (eyes on)
Green:
Ball in breech, ready to fire (eyes on)
Blinking
Red:
Eyes are off
Blinking
Green:
Eye failure
NOTE: IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, THE MARKER MAY ACT AS IF THE EYES ARE
DIRTY OR NOT FIRE AT ALL. IN THIS CASE, CHARGE BATTERY.
SELF CLEANING EYE PIPE
The M3s is equipped with a patented self-cleaning eye pipe feature. There is a clear
polycarbonate sleeve mounted inside the breech of the gun covering the eyes. When the
bolt tip O-ring passes through the eye pipe, it sweeps off any dirt, grease or paint that could
be blocking the eyes. Normally it is enough to just fire the M3s to clean anything blocking
the eyes. If this does not clear the blockage use a swab to clean the inside of the breech.
For a more thorough cleaning, pull the eye pipe with the ball detents out the front of the
breech. With the eye pipe out use a swab to clean the breech. This should be enough to
clean the eye system.
CHANGING BALL
DETENTS
The ball detent system
is clipped to the outside
of the eye pipe. The ball
detent system needs little
or no maintenance. The
detents should easily flex
out of the way with little
force, such as a paintball
moving past. If you are
experiencing double
feeding or chopping, check
the condition of your ball
detents with your finger
to make sure they are not
broken, stuck in the up or
down position, and that
they move in and out of the
breech freely. If excessive
broken paint or dirt has
jammed your ball detents,
remove the eye pipe/detent system from the front of the M3s and unclip the detents for a
thorough cleaning. Reinstall the detents, and eye pipe after you have sufficiently cleaned
the detents and breech.
Be careful not to over-flex the detents when handling them. Excessive flexing could break
or damage the detents.
NOTE: TAKE CARE WHEN REPLACING THE EYE PIPE. BE CAREFUL THAT THE
DETENT CLIP IS FULLY SEATED ONTO THE EYE PIPE.
