THE TIMING MENU
The parameters on the Timing menu all relate to the timing of
specific events.
THE DWELL
PARAMETER (DWELL)
The Dwell parameter sets the amount of time that the solenoid
is energized and therefore the amount of gas that is released
with each shot of the Ego8. Setting this parameter too low will
result in low velocity shots and/or excessive
shot to shot velocity fluctuations. Setting the
parameter too high will simply waste gas and
make the Ego8 louder.
The DWELL can be set between 0.0 and 25.0
milliseconds. The factory default setting can
normally be reduced after a few thousand
shots as the Ego8 ‘beds-in’.
THE FIRST SHOT
DROP-OFF
COMPENSATION
PARAMETER (FSDO)
First shot drop off is a reduction in velocity of the first shot fired
after an extended period of not firing and is caused by the
stiction between dynamic o-rings and the surfaces that they are
in contact with. In order to compensate for FSDO this parameter
can be set to add extra time to the DWELL parameter for the
first shot. This parameter can be set
between 0.0 and 3.0 milliseconds.
