BUTTONS AND LED INDICATOR
There are two buttons and a LED indicator mounted inside the frame of the M7. These are accessible on the back side of the frame. The top
button is used to turn the M7 ON and OFF. The bottom button is used to turn the Eye feature of the M7 ON and OFF. To turn the M7 ON
press and hold the top button until the LED turns on. The Eye feature is always on when the M7 is turned on, to turn off the eye feature press
and hold the bottom button until the LED starts blinking Red indicating the eye feature is turned off. If there is no ball and the LED is RED,
you need to hold the trigger for 1 second to force the M7 to fire once.
In normal operation mode the LED indicator shows you the following information:
Yellow
:
Boot up Sequence
Red:
No ball detected inside the M7, eyes are turned on
Green:
Ball detected inside the M7, eyes are turned on
Blinking
Red:
Eyes are turned off
Blinking
Green:
Eyes are blocked. Either the eyes are dirty, the marker is not gassed up, there is bad connection between
the board and the eye’s or the battery is low.
SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION MODE
There are five settings that can be altered in the M7 circuit board.
1. ABS (Anti Bolt Stick)
This helps to prevent bolt stick, but may result in higher velocity for the first shot.
2. Trigger sensitivity
3. Dwell
4. ROF (Rate Of Fire)
5. Fire Mode
Setting 1, Anti Bolt Stick, is changed by turning DIP switch #1 on the circuit board either ON or OFF. When the ABS is turned on, the dwell
is increased after 15 seconds of non-use for the next shot fired. This helps to prevent bolt stick. Factory default is ON. Notice that the
setting is only activated after re-starting the M7.
To change settings 2-5 you will need to activate the configuration mode. To activate the configuration mode, turn your marker off, unscrew
the two left side grip panel screws with a 3/32” allen key and set DIP switch #2 to the on position. Next, turn your marker on. The 3-color
LED will cycle through all colors for one second to indicate that you have entered the configuration mode. To cycle through different
settings, pull and release the trigger. Configuration mode has 4 settings that can be changed.
GREEN – TRIGGER SENSITIVITY. VALUES 1 - 20 (factory default 5)
Trigger sensitivity is the amount of time that the trigger has to be released before the next trigger pull is allowed. In some situations with
too low of a value, the marker may begin to shoot full-auto.
RED – DWELL. VALUES 1 - 40 (factory default 18)
Dwell is the amount of time that the solenoid will be activated. Follow these steps for the best way to set your dwell:
• Remove loader and any paintballs from the M7 marker.
• With the dwell set at 15, start increasing the value until the marker begins to fire.
• When you reach the setting where the marker begins to fire, get some paint and a loader and go to a chronograph.
• Increase the dwell until you see no increase in the velocity. This is the optimal dwell setting to be used.
NOTE:
The eyes are always activated when you turn the marker on.
NOTE:
The M7 automatically switches off after 10 minutes of non-use.
YELLOW – RATE OF FIRE (VALUES 1-20)
The ROF setting is used the set the maximum rate of fire of the M7.
The values do not correspond directly to a certain Balls Per Second
(BPS) value. You will need to use the table below to locate your
desired maximum ROF setting. The factory default is 15 (20 BPS).
This setting is used both when the Eye function is turned on and
off.
FLICKERING YELLOW – FIRE MODE (VALUES 1-3)
The fire mode setting is used to select the fire mode of the M7.
Factory default is semi automatic mode; one trigger pull shoots out
one paintball. The Millennium mode and the PSP mode follow the
rules of the paintball tournament series.
Value 1
– Semi automatic mode
Value 2
– PSP mode
Value 3
– Millennium Mode
TO CHANGE A VALUE OF A SETTING
1. While in the configuration mode choose the color you wish to change by pulling the trigger.
2. When the LED indicates the color you wish to change pull and hold the trigger until the
LED starts to flash.
3. The LED will flash as many times as the previous setting was and it will then turn off. Now
pull the trigger as many times as you wish the new setting to be.
4. When done, the LED will cycle through all the colors again to indicate setting was saved
and turn back to green. You can now change another setting or quit the configuration mode.
5. To exit configuration mode, set DIP 2 to the off position.
