Problem and LED color
Description
Main transistor or driver
damage
Red and yellow blinking
alternately
The main transistor or driver is damaged. The unit needs to be sent
back for repair.
Battery voltage sensing
malfunction
Red and white blinking
alternately
The battery detection system is malfunctioning. The unit needs to be
sent back for repair.
Other known problems:
Problem
Cause
Solution
Replica fires a
2-round burst
in semi-auto
mode.
Motor and battery are too strong
for the main spring, which causes
an overspin.
Enable AB or precocking.
Too high precocking level
Set precocking to a lower level.
Trigger mechanism malfunction.
Check the cut-off lever and contacts, replace
if needed.
Replica does
not shoot; the
unit does not
emit any light
or sound.
Incompatible T-Deans battery
connector.
T-deans plugs and sockets from various
manufacturers may sometimes not work
together reliably. Although the plug may
seem to fit the socket nicely, the conductive
surfaces may not contact each other, cutting
the power off. In that case try with another
battery, most preferably with a T-deans
socket made by different manufacturer.
Battery
and/or the
motor heat up
very much.
The battery has too low capacity
(mAh) and/or “C” parameter.
Use a battery with higher capacity and/or
“C” parameter.
The motor is too weak.
Use a stronger motor, possibly with
neodymium magnets.
Increased motor load caused by an
excessive friction, for example
caused by:
- improper shimming,
- motor positioned askew in the
pistol grip.
Remove the cause of the friction.
The motor/gear ratio/spring
combination draws too much
current (for instance
–
high speed
motor, high speed gears and M120
spring).
Change the replica configuration by using a
softer spring, gears with higher ratio (lower
speed, higher torque) or motor with higher
TPA number (or lower revolution speed).
When trying
to shoot,
replica
remains silent
or shortly
vibrates, after
which green
LED appears
and one beep
is heard
A gearbox jam or a short-circuit is
present but because of low battery
power or bad connection with the
battery, the unit resets due to
voltage drop instead of the
electronic fuse properly activating.
Remove the reason of the gearbox jam or
short-circuit.
The build is too power demanding
for the battery use and the unit
resets due to voltage drop.
Use a higher-powered battery.
