The Micro Switch Activation Screw is used to adjust the
point in the trigger pull at which the micro-switch is
activated. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the
amount of trigger travel to the activation point. Turn
the screw counter clockwise to increase the amount of
trigger travel to the activation point (SEE FIGURE 6.4).
The Spring Return Strength Screw can only be adjusted
by first removing the frame from the marker body, as
per the instructions in the Maintenance section on
page 63. The Spring Return Strength Screw is used to
adjust the spring strength that returns the trigger to its
resting position. Turn the screw clockwise to increase
the amount of spring return strength in the trigger
pull. Turn this screw counter clockwise to reduce the
amount of spring return strength in the trigger pull.
Do not turn the screw too far counter clockwise or
there will not be enough force to return the trigger
consistently (SEE FIGURE 6.5).
When setting the trigger it is important to ensure that
the electronic trigger detection is working correctly.
When the trigger is fully depressed the Trigger
Detection Indicator (TDI) should point upwards
. When the trigger is fully released the TDI should
point downwards . For more information,
see Understanding the Trigger Detection Indicator
(TDI) on page 25 and The Filter Menu on page 46.

SETTING THE TRIGGER
The Ego9 provides the user with the option to use
either a Micro-Switch or an Opto Sensor as the means
for detecting trigger pulls. Before you begin to adjust
and set your trigger, you must first select the method
of trigger detection that you wish to use by entering
the Set-Up Menu and making your selection from the
Hardware Menu (see page 52).
There are five adjustment points on the trigger – the
Front Stop Trigger Screw, the Rear Stop Trigger Screw,
the Magnet Return Strength Screw, the Micro Switch
Activation Screw and the Spring Return Strength Screw.
As standard each Ego9 comes with a factory set trigger
travel of approximately 2mm in total length; one
millimeter of travel before the firing point and one
millimeter of travel after the firing point, and the trigger
detection method set to Opto.
The Front Stop Trigger Screw is used to set the amount of
trigger travel prior to the marker firing. Turn this screw
clockwise to reduce the amount of travel. Do not turn
the screw too far or the trigger will be pushed past
the firing point and the marker will not work. Turn this
screw counter clockwise to increase the amount of
trigger travel (SEE FIGURE 6.1).
The Rear Stop Trigger Screw is used to set the amount
of travel after the marker has fired. Turn this screw
clockwise to reduce the amount of travel. Do not turn
the screw too far or the trigger will be prevented from
reaching its firing point and the marker will not work.
Turn this screw counter clockwise to increase the
amount of travel (SEE FIGURE 6.2).
The Magnet Return Strength Screw is used to adjust the
amount of force with which the trigger is returned to its
rest position by the magnet. Turn the screw clockwise
to increase the amount of force. Do not turn the screw
too far or it will negate the position of the Front Stop
Trigger Screw. Turn the screw counter clockwise to
reduce the amount of force. Do not turn the screw
too far or there will not be enough force to return the
trigger (SEE FIGURE 6.3).
