USER MANUAL: ENGLISH EDITION
2 ETEK5 MANUAL
• Please read and understand all instruction manuals before use.
• The Eclipse ETEK5 is not a toy. PAINTBALL SAFETY RULES MUST BE
FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES.
• Careless or improper use, including failure to follow instructions and
warnings within this User Manual and attached to the ETEK5 could cause
death or serious injury.
• Do not remove or deface any warnings attached to the ETEK5.
• Paintball industry standard eye/face/ear and head protection designed
specically to stop paintballs and meeting ASTM standard F1776 (USA)
or CE standard (Europe) must be worn by the user and any person within
range. Proper protection must be worn during assembly, cleaning and
maintenance.
• Hearing protection should be worn.
• Never shoot at a person who is not wearing proper protection.
• Never look directly into the barrel of the marker. Accidental discharge into
the eyes may cause permanent injury or death. Never look into the barrel or
breech area of the ETEK5 whilst the marker is switched on and able to re.
• Keep the ETEK5 switched off until ready to shoot.
• Treat every marker as if it is loaded and ready to re.
• The electronic on/off button is the marker’s disabling device, also known as
a safety, which prevents the marker from ring. Always switch off the marker
when not in use.
• Always t a barrel-blocking device to the ETEK5 when not in use.
• Always remove all paintballs from the ETEK5 when not in use on the eld
of play.
• Never point the ETEK5 at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Do not shoot at persons within close range.
• Do not eld strip or remove any parts while the marker is pressurised.
• Do not pressurise the ETEK5 without all the components of the marker
correctly installed, as high-pressure gas may be emitted.
• Do not re the ETEK5 without the bolt correctly installed.
• Never put your nger or any foreign objects into the paintball feed tube of
the ETEK5.
• Never allow pressurised gas to come into contact with any part of your body.
• Always remove the rst stage regulator and relieve all residual gas pressure
from the ETEK5 before disassembly.
• Always remove the rst stage regulator and relieve all residual gas pressure
from the ETEK5 for transport and storage.
• Always follow guidelines given with your rst stage regulator for safe
transportation and storage.
• Always store the ETEK5 in a secure place.
• Persons under 18 years of age must have adult supervision when using or
handling the ETEK5.
• Observe all local and national laws, regulations and guidelines.

ADHERE STRICTLY TO THESE AND ALL OTHER
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES!
WARNING!
• Use only professional paintball elds where codes of safety are
strictly enforced.
• Use compressed air/nitrogen only. Do not use any other compressed gas or
pressurised liquid including CO2.
• Always follow instructions, warnings and guidelines given with any rst stage
regulator you use with the ETEK5.
• Use 0.68 inch calibre paintballs only.
• Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball, using a
suitable chronograph.
• Never shoot at velocities in excess of 300 feet (91.44 meters) per second, or
at velocities greater than local or national laws allow.
• Any installations, modications or repairs should be carried out by a
qualied individual at a licensed and insured paintball facility.

USING THE ETEK
6 ETEK5 MANUAL
FACTORY SET-UP GUIDE
Before using the ETEK5 it is important to make sure that the inline regulator, low
pressure regulator and all electronically controlled parameters are set correctly,
as some of these may have a negative (and potentially damaging) effect on the
marker (in terms of performance and reliability), if incorrectly set.
The steps below will restore the ETEK5 to the state that it left the factory.
Reset the control parameters to the factory settings (see page 28).
Check the inline regulator adjuster screw is set to 4 turns clockwise from its
maximum output (counter-clockwise) position (see gure 1A). This will ensure the
inline regulator is set to an output pressure that will not damage the ETEK5 when
supplied with compressed air/nitrogen (see page 21 for more information on the
inline regulator).
Check the low pressure regulator adjuster screw is set to one turn anti-clockwise
from its fully inwards position (see gure 1B) (see page 21 for more information
on the low pressure regulator).

USING THE ETEK5
ETEK5 MANUAL 7
INSTALLING A 9V BATTERY
Ensure that the ETEK5 is switched off. Place the marker on a at surface in
front of you with the feed tube furthest away from you and the barrel pointing
to the right.
Using a 5/64” (2mm) hex key, remove the two countersunk screws that hold the
rubber grip onto the right side of the grip frame (see gure 2A). Peel the rubber
grip to the right to expose the battery within the grip frame.
If present, remove the existing 9 volt battery by sliding your thumb or nger into
the recess provided at the bottom of the battery and lever the battery gently out
of the frame (see gure 2B).
Connect a new 9 volt Alkaline battery (type PP3, 6LR61, 1604A)1to the battery
connector (see gure 2C).
Fit the battery upside down inside the ETEK5 frame, with the battery connector at
the bottom. If you are unsure of how to install a new battery please contact your
nearest Eclipse Service Centre.
Ensure that the battery wire is tucked into the recess within the frame as pictured
(see gure 2D), then replace the rubber grip and tighten the countersunk grip
screws using the 5/64” (2mm) hex key.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE SCREWS.
1 Do not use rechargeable batteries or low quality batteries.

SWITCHING ON THE ETEK5
At the rear of the frame is the navigation console which houses the Select button
(labelled A gure 3A). This button is the disabling device for the ETEK5,
used to switch the marker on and off. Press and hold the Select button .
Release the Select button when the LED lights up and your ETEK5 will begin
its power up sequence.1,2
SWITCHING OFF THE ETEK5
Press and hold the Select button . Release the Select button when the LED
on the navigation console turns red.
FIRING THE ETEK5
If the Breech Sensor (BS) is disabled, pull the trigger to re the ETEK5. If
the Breech Sensor is enabled and there is a paintball in the breech, pulling
the trigger will also re the ETEK5. The entire ring sequence is controlled
electronically by the ETEK5 circuit board and solenoid, enabling any user to
achieve high rates of re easily.
1 When the ETEK5 is turned on, the Breech Sensor is automatically enabled.
2 The colours displayed during the power up sequence may vary depending on the region the
marker was originally purchased.

SWITCHING ON THE ETEK5 WITH OLED BOARD FITTED
At the rear of the frame is the navigation console which houses the Select button
(labelled A gure 4A). This button is the disabling device for the ETEK5, used to switch
the marker on and off. Press and hold the button until the ETEK5 OLED board begins
its power up sequence.1,2
SWITCHING OFF THE ETEK5 WITH OLED BOARD FITTED
Press and hold the button until the display shows GOODBYE. Release the button.
FIRING THE ETEK5 WITH OLED BOARD FITTED
If the Breech Sensor (BS) is disabled, pull the trigger to re the ETEK5. If the Breech
Sensor is enabled and there is a paintball in the breech, pulling the trigger will also re
the ETEK5. The entire ring sequence is controlled electronically by the ETEK5 board and
solenoid, enabling any user to achieve high rates of re easily.
1 When the ETEK5 is turned on, the Breech Sensor is automatically enabled.
2 By continuing holding down the button when turning on the ETEK5 OLED board the software
version number will be displayed.

THE ETEK5 CIRCUIT BOARD
The ETEK5 circuit board sits within the frame and is accessible by removing the
rubber grips (see page 29 to learn more).
There are three sockets on the ETEK5 circuit board (see gure 5A), the ETEK5
solenoid connector A, the BS connector Band the micro-switch connector C .
There is also a tournament lock button Dand the OLED board connector E.
Information on the tournament lock button functionality can be found on page 24.
1 When the ETEK5 is turned on, the Breech Sensor is automatically enabled.
2 The colours displayed during the power up sequence may vary depending on the region the marker
was originally purchased.
