6 GEO3.5 MANUAL
FACTORY SET-UP GUIDE
WARNING!
De-gas your marker, discharging any stored gas in a safe direction, and
remove the barrel, loader, air system and any paintballs to make the marker
easier and safer to work on.
WARNING
Before using the GEO3.5 it is important to make sure the SL4 inline regulator,
solenoid ow restrictor (SFR) and all electronically controlled parameters are set
correctly. ANY of these can have a negative effect on the performance of the
marker if set incorrectly.
The steps below will restore the GEO3.5 settings to the factory settings. These
settings will give the GEO3.5 a more balanced performance, ideal for most users.
Inline Regulator Output Pressure
Check the inline regulator adjuster screw is set to 41/2 turns clockwise from its
maximum out position (see gure 1A). This will ensure the SL4 inline regulator
is set to an output pressure that will not damage the GEO3.5 when supplied
with compressed air/nitrogen (see page 18 for more information on SL4 inline
regulator adjustment).
Solenoid Flow Restrictor Settings
Check that the solenoid ow restrictor (see gure 1B) is set as pictured. See
page 19 for more information on the solenoid ow restrictor.
Electronically Controlled Parameters
Load the FACTORY PRESET (see gure 1C) stored on the GEO3.5 circuit board.
This pre-set will restore all the electronic parameters to their default settings.
See page 29 on loading the FACTORY PRESET.

GEO3.5 MANUAL 7
Ensure that the GEO3.5 is switched off. Lay the marker on a at surface in front of
you with the feed tube furthest away and with the barrel pointing to the right.
Use a 5/64” (2mm) hex key to remove the two countersunk screws that hold the
rubber grip onto the frame (see gure 2A). Peel the grip to the right to expose the
circuit board within the frame.
Remove the tted battery by sliding your thumb or nger into the recess below
the battery and levering the battery out of the frame (see gure 2B).
DO NOT pull on the top of the battery to remove it as this can cause the battery
terminals to bend and will result in a poor 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 gure 2C).
Planet Eclipse recommends using a branded high quality alkaline 9V battery.
Budget and rechargeable batteries may cause performance issues.
Ensure that all of the wires are within the recess of the frame and away from the
trigger, micro-switch and OPTO sensors so as not to interfere with their operation.
Replace the rubber grip and screw in the two countersunk screws.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE GRIP SCREWS

using the double click parameter in the hardware menu (see page 39).
SWITCHING ON THE GEO3.5
To switch on the GEO3.5 press the button twice in quick succession, referred
to elsewhere in this manual as ‘double-clicking’. The GEO3.5 can also be
switched on by pushing and holding the button (see gure 3A).1
SWITCHING OFF THE GEO3.5

GEO3.5 MANUAL 9
WARNING!
The Geo3.5 may still re even if there is no paintball in the breech. Always
ensure all safety guidelines are followed when the Geo3.5 is switched on.
WARNING
USING THE BREAK BEAM
SENSOR SYSTEM
1 When the GEO3.5 is turned on, the BBSS is automatically enabled.
The Break Beam Sensor System, referred to elsewhere in this manual as ‘BBSS’
is used to detect when a paintball is ready to be red from the GEO3.5. If no
paintball is ready then the BBSS will inhibit the GEO3.5 from ring. This prevents
the GEO3.5 from “chopping” paintballs that are not fully loaded into the marker.1
To switch off the BBSS, press and hold the button for 0.5 seconds (see
gure 4A). The BBSS indicator on the top right of the LCD will change from
(enabled) to (disabled).
To switch the BBSS back on, press and hold the button for 0.5 seconds.
The indicator will change back to .
When the BBSS is enabled, the indicator will change depending upon whether
the system has detected a ball or not. When no ball has been detected the
indicator will look like this . When a ball has been detected the icon changes to
look like this .
Additional features of the GEO3.5’s Break Beam Sensor System are covered in
full on page 23 of this operators manual.
