UNDERSTANDING THE
SOUND INDICATOR
The SOUND Indicator on the main screen is used to
convey if the SOUND parameter in the Hardware Menu
(page 52) is switched on or off.
There are two possible conditions that can be indicated:
In order for the trigger to be successfully operated
it must first be released and then pulled. The Trigger
Detection Indicator (TDI) is used to indicate each of the
possible trigger states.
From the factory the Ego9 will have the Opto sensor
enabled. The Micro-Switch option can be selected by
referring to the Hardware Menu (see page 52).
UNDERSTANDING
THE BREAK BEAM SENSOR
SYSTEM INDICATOR (BBSS)
The BBSS is able to switch itself off in the event
that a blockage or contamination prevents it from
functioning correctly. In this instance, the BBSS will
switch itself back on once the blockage is cleared and
the correct operation can be resumed.
The BBSS Indicator on the main screen is used to
indicate the eight possible states of the BBSS as follows:
UNDERSTANDING
THE AUX OUT INDICATOR
The auxiliary socket on the Ego9 circuit board allows
third party products such as loaders or RF transmitters
to be interfaced to the Ego9.
On power up the Ego 9 checks to see if any compatible
third party products are connected to this socket and,
if any are found, switches on the auxiliary port and
displays the Aux Out Indicator.
There are two possible conditions that can be indicated:
UNDERSTANDING THE
TRIGGER DETECTION
INDICATOR (TDI)
SOUND ENABLED
The SOUND parameter is enabled. The Ego9
will make sounds when switched on and off
and when the game timer alarms or times
out.
SOUND DISABLED
The SOUND parameter is disabled. The Ego9
will not make any sounds.
MICRO-SWITCH SELECTED, NOT
ACTUATED
The Ego9 is configured to use the micro-
switch to detect trigger pulls. The micro-
switch is not currently actuated, i.e. the
trigger is released.
MICRO-SWITCH SELECTED, ACTUATED
The Ego9 is configured to use the micro-
switch to detect trigger pulls. The micro-
switch is currently actuated, i.e. the trigger
is pulled.
OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING
ABOVE PULL POINT
The Ego9 is configured to use the Opto
sensor to detect trigger pulls. The Opto
sensor is currently reading above the Opto
Pull Point, i.e. the trigger is considered
‘pulled’.
OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING 0%
The Ego9 is configured to use the Opto
sensor to detect trigger pulls. The Opto
sensor is currently reading 0%, i.e. the
trigger is fully released.
OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING 100%
The Ego9 is configured to use the Opto
sensor to detect trigger pulls. The Opto
sensor is currently reading 100%, i.e. the
trigger is fully depressed.
OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING
BELOW RELEASE POINT
The Ego9 is configured to use the Opto
sensor to detect trigger pulls. The Opto
sensor is currently reading below the Opto
Release Point, i.e. the trigger is considered
‘released’.
BBSS ENABLED AND BALL DETECTED
The Ego9 can be fired at the maximum
rate of fire determined by the chosen firing
mode.
BBSS FAULT HAS BEEN CLEARED
The sensor has been re-enabled. A ball is
detected and the Ego9 can be fired at the
maximum rate of fire determined by the
chosen firing mode.
BBSS ENABLED NO BALL DETECTED
The Ego9 cannot be fired.
BBSS FAULT HAS BEEN CLEARED
The sensor is enabled. No ball is detected
so the Ego9 cannot be fired. To reset the
BBSS icon, use the button to switch off
the BBSS and then back on again.
BBSS DISABLED
The Ego9 can be fired at a maximum rate
of fire as set by the OFF ROF parameter (see
page 40).
BBSS ENABLED IN TRAINING MODE
The BBSS has been over-ridden as the
user has selected training mode. As the
user has chosen to leave the BBSS on, the
achievable rate of fire is limited by the
firing mode.
BBSS FAULT DETECTED
The system is disabled. The Ego9 can only
be fired at a maximum rate of fire of 10bps,
regardless of the chosen firing mode.
BBSS DISABLED IN TRAINING MODE
The BBSS has been over-ridden as the
user has selected training mode. As the
user has chosen to turn the BBSS off,
the achievable rate of fire is limited by
the OFF ROF parameter (see page 40).
OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING
MID-RANGE
The Ego9 is configured to use the Opto
sensor to detect trigger pulls. The Opto
sensor is currently reading somewhere
between the Opto Release Point and
the Opto Pull Point, i.e. the trigger is half
depressed.
AUX OUT ENABLED
The AUX OUT is enabled. Each time the
circuit board detects a valid trigger pull a
signal will be sent to the AUX connector on
the circuit board.
AUX OUT DISABLED
The AUX OUT is disabled. No signal will be
sent to either the AUX connector on the
circuit board.
