The Eclipse Geo2 comes as standard with an Eclipse Shaft 4 barrel. 1

The barrel screws into the body of the Geo2 using a right hand threadmeaning that if youhold the Geo2 pointing away from you the barrel screws into the body in a counter-clockwisedirection.2

The barrel comprises of two parts, a barrel back and a barrel front . The two parts are

joined together with aleft hand threadmeaning that if you hold the barrel, with the backnearest you, the front unscrews in a counter-clockwise direction. The bore size of the barrelback is engraved at the end of the barrel back .3

On the barrel back there is a 016 NBR 70 o-ring which prevents the barrel from vibratingloose from the Geo2 body when the marker is fired. There is also a 015 NBR 70 o-ring on thetip of the barrel back helps with alignment when the two sections are screwed together.

Replace and lubricate these o-rings with Eclipse Grease as necessary.

OPERATIONAL OVERVIEWBelow is a brief overview of what happenswhen you fire your Geo2. The location of partsdiscussed in the text below can be found on page72-73.

Assuming the Geo2 is gassed up and turned onFIGURE 1.1shows the marker in its idle position.

The Firing Chamber is full of compressed air, theProp Shaft is pushed back into the Back Cap bythis compressed air. The Bolt is held back by theair in the Can. Both the Firing Chamber and theCan are supplied with air via the Solenoid Valve.

Providing a ball is in the breach and the Trigger ispulled, a signal is sent to the Solenoid which stopsthe supply of air to the Firing Chamber and allowsthe air in the Can to be exhausted. This removesthe force holding the Bolt in its rear position andthe Bolt is propelled forwards FIGURE 1.2.

As the Bolt passes the Front Prop Shaft o-ringthe Firing Chamber seal is broken and the air inthe Firing Chamber vents down the Bolt, in turnpropelling a ball FIGURE 1.3.

As air is vented from the Firing Chamber the forcepushing the Prop Shaft back is overcome by theSpring tension in the Back Cap. The Spring pushesthe Prop Shaft forward. The front 14x2 o-ring onthe Prop Shaft enters the bolt and seals off theFiring Chamber FIGURE 1.4.

The length of time the Bolt remains in thisforward position is dependant on Dwell. Whenthe Solenoid has completed its Dwell time, airis routed back into the Can and pushes the Boltback towards its rear position. Simultaneously theFiring Chamber is re-filled through the SolenoidValve to the operating pressure set by the user viathe Inline Regulator, and the Prop Shaft is pushedinto its rear position by the air pressure inside theValve Chamber.

INSTALLING A 9V BATTERYEnsure that the Geo2 is switched off. Lay the marker on aflat surface in front of you with the feed tube furthest awayand with the barrel pointing to the right.

Use a 5/64 (2mm) hex wrench to remove the threecountersunk screws that hold the rubber grip onto theframe. Peel the grip to the right to expose the circuit board

within the frame.

Remove the fitted battery by sliding your thumb or fingerinto the recess below the battery and levering the batteryout of the frame SEE FIGURE 2.1.

DO NOT pull on the top of the battery to remove it as thiscan cause the battery terminals to bend and will result in apoor electrical connection.

Fit a 9-volt alkaline battery (type PP3, 6LR61 or MN1604)

into the recess with the battery terminals away from you.The positive terminal should be on the right hand side,nearest to the front side of the frame SEE FIGURE 2.2.1

Ensure that all of the wires are within the recess of theframe and away from the trigger micro-switch and Optosensors so as not to interfere with their operation andreplace the rubber grip and replace the three countersunkscrews.

USING THE BREAK BEAMSENSOR SYSTEM

The break beam sensor system, referred to elsewhere inthis manual as BBSS is used to detect when a paintball isready to fire from the Geo2. If no paintball is ready thenthe BBSS will inhibit the Geo2 from firing. This prevents theGeo2 from chopping paintballs that are not fully loaded

into the marker.

To switch off the BBSS, press and hold the button for 0.5seconds SEE FIGURE 3.3.

The BBSS indicator on the top right of the LCD will changefrom (enabled) to (disabled).

To switch the BBSSback on, press and hold the buttonfor 0.5 second. The indicator will change back to .

When the BBSS is enabled, the indicator will changedepending upon whether the system has detected a ballor not. When no ball has been detected the indicatorlooks like this when a ball has been detected the iconchanges to look like this .Additional features of the Geo2s Break Beam SensorSystem are covered in full on page 24 of this user manual.

SETTING UP YOUR GEO2Before you can begin to use your Geo2, you will need toattach an air system and a paintball loader.

INSTALLING A PRESET AIRSYSTEM

Every Geo2 comes complete with a new Eclipse PushOn/Off Purge System (POPS) which provides a directconnection for a preset air system. Before screwing an airsystem into the POPS ensure that the Bonnet is disengagedin its forward position SEE FIGURE 4.1. If the Bonnet isengaged, depress the Latch Button and slide the Bonnetforward.

Screw the preset air system into the POPS SEE FIGURE 4.2so that the bottle screws in all the way and is tight. Pull the

Bonnet backwards allowing the POPS Pin to depress thepin in the preset air system causing the Geo2 to becomepressurised (providing that there is sufficient air in yourtank) SEE FIGURE 4.3. When the Bonnet has been pulledback far enough it engages with the POPS Body. 1,2You have now installed a preset air system onto your Geo2.

1High, mid and low pressure output preset air systems can be usedwith the Geo2, providing the Geo2 has the SL3 Inline Regulatororiginally supplied with the marker.2The force needed to engage the Bonnet may vary depending onthe output pressure and internal design of the air system being

used.

WARNING: THE GEO2 CANNOT BE USED WITH CO2,IT CAN ONLY BE POWERED BY COMPRESSED AIR OR

NITROGEN.

WARNING: ALWAYS RELIEVE ALL RESIDUAL GASPRESSURE FROM THE GEO2 BEFORE UNSCREWING THE

PRESET AIR SYSTEM.

TSLOT MOUNTINGSYSTEM

The Geo2 utilises a T-slot arrangement to mount the OOPSto the bottom of the frame. The T-slot is an improvementover the dovetail mounting system found on mostpaintball markers, and is much more able to withstand therigours of modern tournament paintball.

STRAIGHT HOSE FITTINGSThe straight hose fittings found on the Geo2 DO NOTrequire Loctite to secure them on the marker. These aresecured by the capture o-ring on the end of the fitting.Only use a 3/32 hex key in the designated hole inside thefitting to remove or re-attach the fitting. When re-attaching

the fittings DO NOT apply too much force or the threads onthe fitting/receiving part may be damaged (remember tostop when you meet resistance).

MACROLINE HOSING ANDELBOWS

To aid the longevity of your Macroline hosing, it is veryimportant to remove it from (and install it back into) thefittings in the correct manner:

Pull back the collet section of the hose fitting and keep thecollet depressed. Pull the Macroline hose out of the hosefitting and release the collet.

Before installing the Macroline hose into the hose fittingensure that the end has been trimmed correctly to ensurea tight fit in the hose fitting.

SETTING THE TRIGGER


20/80

SETTING THE TRIGGERThe Geo2 provides the user with the option to useeither a micro-switch or an Opto sensor as the means fordetecting trigger pulls. Before you begin to adjust and setyour trigger, you must first select the method of triggerdetection that you wish to use by entering the Main menuand making your selection from the HARDWAREmenu(seepage 40).

There are five adjustment points on the trigger the frontstop trigger screw, the rear stop trigger screw, the magnetreturn strength screw,the micro switch activation screwand the spring return strength screw.

As standard each Geo2 comes with a factory set triggertravel of approximately 2mm in total length; one millimeterof travel before the firing point and one millimeter of travelafter the firing point, and the trigger detection method setto Opto.

Thefront stop trigger screwis used to set the amount oftrigger travel prior to the marker firing. Turn this screwclockwise to reduce the amount of travel. Do not turn thescrew too far or the trigger will be pushed past the firingpoint and the marker will not work. Turn this screw counterclockwise to increase the amount of trigger travel SEEFIGURE 6.1.

Therear stop trigger screwis used to set the amount oftravel after the marker has fired. Turn this screw clockwiseto reduce the amount of travel. Do not turn the screw toofar or the trigger will be prevented from reaching its firing

point and the marker will not work. Turn this screw counterclockwise to increase the amount of travel SEE FIGURE6.2.

Themagnet return strength screwis used to adjust theamount of force with which the trigger is returned to itsrest position by the magnet. Turn the screw clockwise toincrease the amount of force. Do not turn the screw too faror it will negate the position of the front stop trigger screw.

Turn the screw counter clockwise to reduce the amountof force. Do not turn the screw too far or there will not beenough force to return the trigger SEE FIGURE 6.3.

Turn the screw clockwise to decrease theamount of trigger travel to the activation point. Turn thescrew counter clockwise to increase the amount of triggertravel to the activation point SEE FIGURE 6.4.

The spring return strength screwcan only be adjusted byfirst removing the frame from the marker body, as per theinstructions in the Maintenance section on page 55. Thespring return strength screw is used to adjust the springstrength that returns the trigger to its resting position.

Turn the screw clockwise to increase the amount of springreturn strength in the trigger pull. Turn this screw counterclockwise to reduce the amount of spring return strengthin the trigger pull. Do not turn the screw too far counterclockwise or there will not be enough force to return thetrigger consistently SEE FIGURE 6.5.

When setting the trigger it is important to ensure that theelectronic trigger detection is working correctly. When thetrigger is fully depressed the trigger detection indicator(TDI) should point upwards .

When the trigger is fully released the TDI should pointdownwards .For more information, see understanding the triggerdetection indicator(TDI) on page 25 and The FILTERmenuon page 38.

RUN SCREEN LAYOUTThe root of the user interface is the run screen. This screenis the one most often displayed and provides the user withessential feedback on the state of the Geo2. A typical runscreen is shown on the right.1

On the left of the screen is a display option that is userselectable from by briefly pressing the button on thenavigation console.

> A GAME TIMER

> A SHOT COUNTER

> AN ACTUAL RATE OF FIRE INDICATOR

> A PEAK RATE OF FIRE INDICATOR

On the right of the screen are a number of icons, each ofwhich provides graphical indication on different parts ofthe Geo2 control electronics:

1The layout of the run screen is correct at time of printing. Howevernewer versions of the Geo2 software may have a different layoutof the run screen from what is printed in this manual. You may findsome icons have been added or removed entirely. If you are unsureabout any icons which do not feature in the manual contact yourlocal dealer/service centre or Planet Eclipse directly.

THE BREAK BEAM SENSOR


24/80

THE BREAK BEAM SENSORSYSTEM INDICATOR BBSS

The BBSS is able to switch itself off in the event of ablockage or contamination preventing it from functioningcorrectly. In this instance, the BBSS will switch itself back ononce the blockage is cleared and the correct operation canbe resumed.

The BBSS indicator on the main screen is used to indicatethe eight possible states of the BBSS as follows:

THE AUX OUT INDICATORThe auxiliary socket on the Geo2 circuit board allows thirdparty products such as loaders or RF transmitters to beinterfaced to the Geo2.

The AUX out indicator is turned on and off via theAUX OUTparameter (see page 42).

There are two possible conditions that can be indicated:

BBSS ENABLED AND BALL DETECTEDThe Geo2 can be fired at the maximum rate offire determined by the chosen firing mode.

BBSS FAULT HAS BEEN CLEARED ANDBALL DETECTED

The sensor has been re-enabled. A ball isdetected and the Geo2 can be fired at themaximum rate of fire determined by thechosen firing mode.

BBSS ENABLED NO BALL DETECTEDThe Geo2 cannot be fired.

BBSS FAULT HAS BEEN CLEARED ANDNO BALL DETECTED

The sensor is enabled. No ball is detected sothe Geo2 cannot be fired. To reset the BBSSicon, use the button to switch off theBBSS and then back on again.

BBSS DISABLEDThe Geo2 can be fired at a maximum rate offire as set by the BS OFF ROFparameter (seepage 35).

BBSS ENABLED IN TRAINING MODEThe BBSS has been over-ridden as the user

has selected training mode. As the user haschosen to leave the BBSS on, the achievablerate of fire is limited by the firing mode.

BBSS FAULT DETECTEDThe system is disabled. The Geo2 can onlybe fired at a maximum rate of 2bps less thanthe maximum rate of fire, up to a maximum

of 10 bps.

BBSS DISABLED IN TRAINING MODEThe BBSS has been over-ridden as the userhas selected training mode. As the user haschosen to turn the BBSS off, the achievablerate of fire is limited by the BS OFF ROFparameter (see page 35).

AUX OUT ENABLEDThe AUX OUT is enabled. Each time the circuitboard detects a valid trigger pull a signal willbe sent to the AUX connector on the circuitboard.

AUX OUT DISABLEDThe AUX OUT is disabled. No signal will be sentto the AUX connector on the circuit board.

THE LOCK INDICATOR


26/80

THE LOCK INDICATORThe Geo2 has a tournament lock which prevents the userfrom making changes to any parameter that affects theway in which the Geo2 shoots, without the need for tools.

This feature is necessary in order to make the Geo2 legalfor tournament play.

When the lock is enabled the lock indictor will show a

closed padlock .

When the lock is disabled the lock indictor will show anopen padlock .

To enable or disable the tournament lock seeAccessing theMenu System on page 32.

THE BATTERY LEVELINDICATOR

The battery level indicator is used to show the state ofthe battery within the Geo2. When the battery is fresh theindicator will show a full battery and as the battery isdrained, so the indicator will show the battery emptying.When the battery reaches a point at which the Geo2 will nolonger function reliably, the indicator will start to flash. Atthis point the battery must be changed immediately.

As well as displaying the voltage level of the battery,the indicator also warns if the battery being used hasan incorrect voltage to operate the electronics reliably.

The icon for a battery with an incorrect voltage outputis . If this icon is shown the battery must be replacedimmediately.

THE GAME TIMERWhen the game timer is shown on the run screen thenit can be started by pressing the button and thetimer will start to count down. The game timer can alsobe configured to start on a trigger press with the STARTparameter (see page 45).

When the game timer reaches theALARM TIMEthe gamer timer will startto flash and the audible alarm willsound every second, provided that theSOUNDparameter is on.

When the game timer reaches 00:00,GAME OVER will be displayed and the

audible alarm will sound continually,provided that the SOUNDparameter isset to ON.

To stop the game timer at any timepress and hold the button for 0.5seconds.

To reset the game timer to its presetstart time, push and hold the buttonfor 1 second. The game timer will also be reset wheneverthe Geo2 is switched off.

THE SHOTCOUNTER

The shot counter will incrementevery time that the Geo2 solenoidis activated, regardless of whetherthe shot counter is displayed or not.When the shot counter is displayed on

the run screen it can be reset to 0 bypressing and holding the buttonfor 0.5 seconds.

There is also an optional shot gaugethat can be displayed on this runscreen. The gauge counts down froma user adjustable number. To alter thegauge settings see pages 44.

The gauge is reset whenever the Geo2 is switched off orthe button is pressed.

THE ACTUALRATE OF FIREWhen the actual ROF is selectedfor display the run screen will looksomething like the screen to theright. The value displayed in thetop left of the screen represents thenumber of full cycles completed ina second - the actual rate of fire overthat second. The value below it is themaximum actual rate of fire that hasbeen achieved. The graph below thisnumber shows the actual rates of fireachieved over time where each barrepresents the amount of pulls in thatsecond. To reset the maximum, pressand hold the button for 1 second.

THE PEAK RATEOF FIREWhen the peak ROF is selected fordisplay the run screen will looksomething like the screen to theright, which differs from the displayof the actual ROF by the inclusionof the indicator PK. The valuedisplayed in the top left of the screenrepresents the maximum rate of firethat has been recorded over the lastsecond. The value below it is themaximum peak rate of fire that hasbeen achieved. The graph belowthis number shows the peak ratesof fire achieved over time. To resetthis maximum, press and hold thebutton for 0.5 seconds.

The peak ROF is typically higher than the actual ROF as it ismuch easier to fire two shots in quick succession than it isto maintain a string over a longer period of time.

THE MENU SYSTEMBehind the run screen is a structured menu systemcomprised of two layers of menus. Each menu contains anumber of menu items and each menu item can either bea parameter or a branch to another menu. Branches havean animated graphic on the right of the display, whereas parameters have their current value.

On parameter screens a range bar will be displayed wherethere is a large scale of adjustability in that parameter. Thecurrent parameter value is displayed as a box on the rangebar which is used to indicate the range of adjustability inthe parameter value.

At the bottom of the parameter screen the unit for that

parameter will be displayed. Some parameters will nothave units, such as on or off parameters. For a detailed listof which parameters have units, and what they stand for,please see the Menu Tree on pages 28-31.

TYPETHE RAMP TYPE PARAMETERThis parameter is used to select the rampingstyle and has the following choices (seeopposite):

p p gsemi-automatic until a number of trigger pulls, set bySEMI SHOTS, have been made at a minimum pull rate, setby KICK IN. At this point the rate of fire will step up to themaximum rate of fire as set by BS ON ROF(or the maximumloader speed if theROF CAPparameter is set to off ).Ramping is maintained as long as the user continues topull the trigger at a required rate set by SUSTAIN.

> LINEAR:Linear ramping will cause the Geo2 to shoot insemi-automatic until a number of trigger pulls, set by SEMISHOTS, have been made at a minimum pull rate, set by KICKIN. At this point the rate of fire will equal the rate of triggerpulls increased by the percentage specified by RATE up to amaximum rate of fire as set by BS ON ROF, if the ROF CAPison. Ramping is maintained as long as the user continues topull the trigger at a required rate set by SUSTAIN.

> CANCEL:Editing is cancelled and no changes are made

to the parameter.

RATETHE LINEAR RAMP RATE PARAMETER

The parameter is only available when LINEARramping is selected and is used to set thepercentage increase in rate of fire over rateof trigger pulls.

For example, if the user is pulling the trigger

at a rate of 10 pulls per second and the RATEparameter is set to 50% then the rate of fireis 10 plus 50% extra which is 15 balls persecond.

This parameter can be set between 0 and 100% in 10%increments.

This parameter sets the minimum rateat which the user has to pull the triggerin order to start ramping. This parameter

can be set between 3.3 and 10.0 pulls persecond in 0.1 pulls per second increments.

SUSTAINTHE SUSTAIN RATE PARAMETER

Once the Geo2 is ramping the user has tocontinue to pull the trigger at a minimumrate in order to maintain the ramping.

This parameter sets this rate and can bebetween 3.3 and 10.0 pulls per second in0.1 pulls per second increments.

THE RAMP RESTART PARAMETER

The RESTARTparameter defines the amountof time after the last trigger pull duringwhich the ramp can be restarted with asingle trigger pull. If a trigger pull occursafter the RESTARTtime has expired, then theother ramp start conditions have to be met

before ramping will restart. This parametercan be set between 0.0 and 1.0 seconds in0.1 second increments.

THE DWELL PARAMETER

The DWELL parameter sets the amount oftime that the solenoid is energized andtherefore the amount of gas that is releasedwith each shot of the Geo2. Setting thisparameter too low will result in low velocityshots and/or excessive shot to shot velocity

fluctuations. Setting the parameter toohigh will simply waste gas and make theGeo2 louder. The DWELLcan be set between0.0 and 25.0 milliseconds. The factory default setting cannormally be reduced after a few thousand shots as theGeo2 beds-in.

FSD COMPTHE FIRST SHOT DROPOFFCOMPENSATION PARAMETER

First shot drop off is a reduction in velocityof the first shot fired after an extendedperiod of not firing and is caused by thestiction between dynamic o-rings and thesurfaces that they are in contact with. Inorder to compensate for first shot drop-offthis parameter can be set to add extratime to the DWELLparameter for the firstshot. This parameter can be set between 0.0 and 5.0milliseconds.

FSD DLYTHE FIRST SHOT DROPOFF DELAYPARAMETER

The time that has to elapse before theFDS COMP is applied to a shot following aprevious shot. This parameter can be setbetween 00:00 and 04:00 minutes.

THE FILTER MENU

The parameters on the FILTERmenu are all used to tune theGeo2s software filters which prevent the Geo2 from firingunless all of the necessary conditions are met.

FILTER SET UP95% of trigger bounce problems can be eliminated byutilizing one of the nine fixed DEBOUNCEchoices(LEVEL 1-9). In attempting to eliminate trigger bounce itis advisable to try the nine fixed DEBOUNCEchoices beforeattempting any advanced set up of the trigger filters.

ADVANCED TRIGGERFILTER SETUPIn order to optimize the trigger filters it is necessary tohave the PULL PTparameter set as high as possible and theRELEASE PTparameter set as low as possible:

1. Select the PULL PTparameter. Observe that the graphicalbar rises and falls as the trigger is pulled and released. Theactual value of the graphical bar is displayed in the topright of the display.

2. Set the Rear Stop Trigger Screw as required, ensuringthat the bar is as close to 100% as possible when thetrigger is fully depressed against the set screw. It isadvisable to allow for some extra travel in the trigger pullonce the bar has reached its maximum value.

3. Adjust the PULL PTparameter so that when the trigger isfully depressed the bar settles above the indicator on the

left hand side of the screen (see page 39).

4. Select the RELEASE PTparameter. Observe that thegraphical bar rises and falls as the trigger is pulled andreleased. The actual value of the graphical bar is displayedin top right of the display.

5. Set the Front Stop Trigger Screw as required, ensuringthat the bar is as close to 0% as possible when the triggeris fully released against the set screw. It is advisable toallow for some extra travel in the trigger release once thebar has reached its minimum value.

TRAININGTHE TRAINING PARAMETER CONTENTS

QUICK GUIDE


43/80

The TRAINING parameter is used to selectTraining mode. In Training mode the Geo2will function exactly the same as normal butwith two important differences:

1. The solenoid valve is not driven so thebolt does not move and does not release aburst of air. Instead the beeper will soundfor each pull of the trigger. This simulatesthe firing cycle without wasting air and generating lots ofnoise.

2. The BBSS is overridden so that the Geo2 can cyclewithout paint. The centre of the BBSS indicator changes toa T to indicate that Training mode is enabled.

The TRAININGparameter choices are as follows:

> OFF:Training mode is disabled and the Geo2 functionsnormally.

> ON:Training mode is enabled.
