QUICK GUIDE Operational overview Contents Below is a brief overview of what happens when you fire your Geo3. The location of parts discussed in the text below can be found on pages 76-77. Assuming the Geo3 is gassed up and turned on Figure 6A shows the marker in its idle position. The firing chamber is full of compressed air, the prop shaft is pushed back into the back cap by this compressed air. The bolt is held back by the air in the bolt can.
Setting up the Geo3 Before you can begin to use your Geo3, you will need to attach a barrel, an air system and a paintball loader. INSTALLING a Barrel Using The Geo3 WARNING 18. Make sure the marker is turned off and that no paintballs are in the marker or loader before installing a Barrel. Every Geo3 comes complete with an Eclipse Shaft4 barrel (see page 11). FIG 7a To install the Shaft4 barrel, firstly screw the barrel tip and barrel back sections together.
QUICK GUIDE Straight hose fittings Contents The 10-32UNF macroline fittings found on the Geo3 (SEE FIGURE 8A &8B) DO NOT require thread lock or tape to secure them on the marker. These are secured by the capture o-ring on the end of the fitting. Only use a 3/32” hex key in the designated hole inside the fitting to remove or re-attach the fitting (SEE FIGURE 8C).
INSTALLING A PRESET AIR System USING The GEO3 WARNING 20. Make sure the marker is turned off with a barrel blocking device installed and that no paintballs are in the marker or loader before installing an air system. Compressed air and nitrogen systems can be extremely dangerous if Handled or used incorrectly. Only use an air system certified for use within the Territory of intended use The Geo3 cannot be used with co2. Only USE compressed air or nitrogen.
QUICK GUIDE Contents Every Geo3 comes complete with an Eclipse Push On/Off Purge System (POPS) which provides a direct connection for a preset air system. Before screwing an air system into the POPS ensure that the bonnet is disengaged in its forward position (See Figure 9A). If the bonnet is engaged, depress the latch button and slide the bonnet forward.
ATTACHING A LOADER WARNING USING The GEO3 Warning: Do not over tighten the clamping feed tube as this may damage the loader or Feed tube itself. 22. Using a 5/32” hex key or your fingers, turn the sprocket screw of the clamping feed tube counter clockwise (see figure 10A). Release the clamping lever on the feed tube (see figure 10B) and test to see if your loader can easily be pushed into the top of the feed tube.
QUICK GUIDE SETTING THE TRIGGER Contents The Geo3 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 Main menu and making your selection from the Hardware menu (see page 47).
(Continued) Using The Geo3 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 11D). 24. The Spring Return Strength screw is used to adjust the spring strength that returns the trigger to its resting position.
QUICK GUIDE Adjusting THE Velocity Contents When using your Geo3, you may wish to change the velocity at which your Geo3 is firing. This is done by inserting a 1/8" hex key into the adjuster screw at the bottom of your Geo3 inline regulator and adjusting it accordingly (See Figure 12A).
solenoid Flow Restrictor USING the geo3 The following section covers direct adjustment of the Solenoid Valve which should only be used by users with a sound knowledge of the Geo3 firing cycle. 26. Built into the left side of the fame is the Solenoid Flow Restrictor SFR (SEE FIGURE 13A), which controls the exhaust flow from the Bolt System through the Solenoid Valve. By controlling the exhaust flow from the Bolt System, the speed of the bolt during the forward stroke can be sped up or slowed down.
QUICK GUIDE Unloading the Geo3 Contents WARNING Quick Set-up Orientation Always keep the Eclipse Geo3 pointed in a safe direction and ensure all persons within range continue to wear face protection, until marker is completely unloaded and safe. Using the Geo3 Menu Tree Advanced Set-up Maintenance Fault Finding Securely attach a barrel blocking device such as the Eclipse Barrel Sock1 (supplied with the Geo3) to the marker as shown in Figure 14A.
Storage and Transportation WARNING USING the GEO3 Caution: Never carry your Eclipse Geo3 un-cased when not on a playing field. The nonplaying public and law enforcement personnel may not be able to distinguish between a paintball marker and a real firearm. For your own safety and to protect the image of paintball, always carry the Eclipse Geo3 (or any other paintball marker) in a suitable marker case such as the one in which it was supplied. 28.
QUICK GUIDE USER INTERFACE Contents The Geo3 has a simple user interface through which all aspects of its electronic control system can be monitored and adjusted by means of the three pushbuttons and graphical LCD which comprise the navigation console. Quick Set-up Orientation Using the Geo3 Menu Tree Advanced Set-up RUN SCREEN LAYOUT Maintenance The root of the user interface is the run screen.
The Break Beam Sensor System INDICATOR (BBSS) USING the GEO3 The BBSS is able to switch itself off in the event of a blockage or contamination preventing 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. 30.
The sound indicator The sound indicator on the run screen is used to convey if the Sound parameter in the Hardware menu (page 48) is switched on or off. There are two possible conditions that can be indicated: QUICK GUIDE OPTO SENSOR SELECTED, READING MID-RANGE The Geo3 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.
THE LOCK INDICATOR USING the GEO3 The Geo3 has a tournament lock which prevents the user from making changes to any parameter that affects the way in which the Geo3 shoots, without the need for tools. This feature is necessary in order to make the Geo3 legal for tournament play. 32. When the lock is enabled the lock indictor will show a closed padlock . When the lock is disabled the lock indictor will show an open padlock .
The actual rate of fire When the actual ROF is selected for display the run screen will look something like the screen to the right. The value displayed in the top left of the screen represents the number of full cycles completed in a second - the actual rate of fire over that second. The value below it is the maximum actual rate of fire that has been achieved. The graph below this number shows the actual rates of fire achieved over time where each bar represents the amount of pulls in that second.

Some of these parameters affect the way the Geo3 shoots and are tournament locked as standard from the factory.1 1 The layout of the Main menu is correct at time of printing.
ADVANCED SET-UP Preset 40. SAVE The Preset Menu In order to simplify the set up of the Geo3 a number of preset configurations are available for selection. Choosing one of these presets will cause all of the necessary parameters to be set in such a way as to make the Geo3 comply with the rules governing a particular paintball league1. It is also possible for the user to save up to two preset configurations of their own.
Fire MODE THE FIRING MODE PARAMETER This parameter is used to select the firing mode of the Geo3 and has the following choices: > Semi: This is the default and in this firing mode the Geo3 will fire one shot for every trigger pull. ROF CAP THE RATE OF FIRE CAP PARAMETER The ROF CAP parameter is used to specify whether or not the Geo3 should have a limited, or capped rate of fire. When the ROF CAP is enabled, the maximum achievable rate of fire is set by the BS ON ROF parameter.
ADVANCED SET-UP BS ON ROF 42. THE Maximum rate of fire PARAMETER The BS ON ROF parameter is used to set the maximum achievable rate of fire from the Geo3. The value of this parameter can be adjusted between 4.0 and 30.0 balls per second in 0.1bps increments.1 The BS ON ROF parameter will only be displayed if you have set the ROF CAP parameter to ‘ON’.
Ramp setup the ramp settings menu This menu is only available when ramping has been selected with the FIRE Mode parameter and comprises a list of parameters that control the way in which the Geo3 ramps, as shown below. Type the ramp type parameter This parameter is used to select the ramping style and has the following choices: > STEP: Step ramping will cause the Geo3 to shoot in semi-automatic until a number of trigger pulls, set by SEMI SHOTS, have been made at a minimum pull rate, set by KICK IN.
ADVANCED SET-UP sustain 44. the sustain rate parameter Once the Geo3 is ramping the user has to continue to pull the Trigger at a minimum rate in order to maintain the ramping. This parameter sets this rate and can be between 3.3 and 10.0 pulls per second in 0.1 pulls per second increments. RESTART THE RAMP RESTART PARAMETER The RESTART parameter defines the amount of time after the last trigger pull during which the ramp can be restarted with a single trigger pull.
Fsd DLY THE FIRST SHOT DROP-OFF DELAY PARAMETER The time that has to elapse before the FDS COMP is applied to a shot following a previous shot. This parameter can be set between 00:00 and 04:00 minutes. QUICK GUIDE FILTER THE FILTER MENU The parameters on the Filter menu are all used to tune the Geo3’s software filters which prevent the Geo3 from firing unless all of the necessary conditions are met.
ADVANCED SET-UP FULL 46. Pull PT THE Breech FULL Time parameter Tumbling paintballs can take time to settle in the breech before they can be successfully fired. This parameter is used to set the amount of time that a paintball has to be in the breech before the Geo3 is allowed to fire. This parameter can be set between 1.0 and 20 milliseconds in 0.1ms increments. the Trigger PULL POINT parameter The PULL PT parameter is only available if OPTO has been selected in the Hardware menu.
ADVANCED TRIGGER FILTER SET-UP In order to optimize the Trigger filters it is necessary to have the PULL PT parameter set as high as possible and the RELEASE PT parameter set as low as possible: 1. Select the PULL PT parameter. Observe that the graphical bar rises and falls as the trigger is pulled and released. The actual value of the graphical bar is displayed in the top right of the display. 2.
ADVANCED SET-UP SOLENOID 48. The SOLENOID POWER PARAMETER This parameter controls the amount of power used by the Solenoid Valve and should normally be left at it’s default ‘LO PWR’ setting. Cold weather (sub 0°C/32°F) will cause lubricants to thicken and increase stiction in the marker system which may cause velocity drop-off and/or shot to shot inconsistency. Increasing the solenoid power will often help to eliminate these problems, but will cause more drain on the battery.
Grn Level THE LCD BACKLIGHT GREEN LEVEL Parameter The percentage of green light emitted from the LCD backlight. Blu Level THE LCD BACKLIGHT BLUE LEVEL Parameter The percentage of blue light emitted from the LCD backlight. DBL CLICK THE Double clicking Parameter This parameter is used to select where double-clicking the button can be used. The choices available for this parameter are: >NONE: Double clicking is disabled entirely.
ADVANCED SET-UP Training 50. THE TRAINING parameter The TRAINING parameter is used to select Training mode. In Training mode the Geo3 will function exactly the same as normal but with two important differences: 1. The solenoid valve is not driven so the Bolt does not move and does not release a burst of air. Instead the beeper will sound for each pull of the Trigger. This simulates the firing cycle without wasting air and generating lots of noise. 2.
TIMER QUICK GUIDE Start The game timer menu This menu is comprised of parameters that control the operation of the Game Timer. the timer Start Parameter This parameter is used to select the event which will cause the Game Timer to begin counting down. This parameter has the following choices: Game > BUTTON: Pressing the start the Game Timer.
