PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRONICS

RAIL™ WON’T TURN ON

•  Make sure battery is new and well charged.

•  Check that battery is making contact with the 

board terminals inside the RAIL™ .

•  Make sure there is no dirt or debris blocking 

the button from being pressed.

RAIL™ WILL TURN ON / OFF BY ITSELF OR THE

EYES WILL TURN ON / OFF BY THEM SELVES

•  Both of these problems are caused because 

the button(s) are pressed all the time.

•  Remove board from the frame by removing the

grip panel on the left hand side, disconnecting 

the cables and pulling the board out. Carefully 

remove the two buttons and clean them well.

•  Re-assemble and test. If problems persist, 

contact authorized service center for board 

replacement.

EYES WILL NOT WORK, LED KEEPS 

BLINKING GREEN

•  First change the battery. The eyes are normally 

the first thing to stop working when a battery 

is dying.

•  Next try to clean the eyes. See page 22 

for details on how to remove the Eye Pipe and 

clean the eyes. 

To test if the eyes work make sure there 

is nothing inside the breech and that the bolt is

in the back position. Turn on the RAIL™, the 

light should be red after the boot up sequence. 

If it is, the eyes are working.  

•  Check that the eye wire is properly connected 

to the board.

•  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 micro switch cannot activate. 

You should hear a small click when pulling 

the trigger.

•  If the RAIL™ fires once when turned on but not 

after that your trigger is set so that the micro 

switch is always activated. Re-adjust the trigger.

•  Change the battery  if you are not positive 

about it’s charge.

•  Check that the solenoid and capacitor cables

are attached to the board and to the right 

connectors (solenoid should be attached to 

the connector that is colored blue).

TRIGGER BOUNCE / RAIL™ 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.
