Planet Eclipse no longer provides software updates for the eBlade platform, however the following may prove useful in setting these products up to be compliant

Eclipse E2 / Zero B

1. Fit fresh batteries to the loader that will be used and set the loader speed as required;
2. Enter the Setup menu;
3. Select (MODE) and choose the RAMP 3** option;
4. Set the COFF parameter to 40ms;
5. Enable the breech sensor;
6. Shoot the gun so that it ramps and measure the ROF on a rate of fire meter;
7. Adjust the COFF parameter and repeat 6 until the ROF is 11.8bps* (increasing COFF reduces ROF);
8. Check that CDELAY + CON + COFF is greater than 84ms and if not then increase CON;
9. Exit the Setup menu;
10. Check the rate of fire on a league approved ROF meter.

Eclipse E1 (eBlade)
1. Fit fresh batteries to the loader that will be used and set the loader speed as required;
2. Enter the Setup menu;
3. Set the COFF parameter to 40ms;
4. Enable the breech sensor;
5. Shoot the gun as quickly as you can and measure the ROF on a rate of fire meter;
6. Adjust the COFF parameter and repeat 5 until the ROF is 11.8bps* (increasing COFF reduces ROF);
7. Check that CDELAY + CON + COFF is greater than 84ms and if not then increase CON;
8. Exit the Setup menu;
9. Check the rate of fire on a league approved ROF meter.

*The rate of fire settings on Egos are accurate however not all rate of fire meters will read the same. We recommend that guns be set on the safe side of the legal limit. The difference between 11.8 and 12.0bps is only 1 extra ball every 59 shots!

**If your software does not have the RAMP 3 option then it will be necessary to upgrade your software to the latest version.

I hope that this information helps anyone playing (or training for) events that utilise 2008 Millennium Rules.

How to set up Eclipse paintball markers for 2008 PSP Rules

NEW to this new letter... is Nicky T’s Top Tip ! I thought I’d ask Super Tech Nicky T to give us a nice and easy Tech Tip for you guys to keep you Ego’s rockin so here is No.: 1

If you're using a Cure bolt and you want to improve the lifespan of your Ego or Eteks detents, then put a couple of drops of Eclipse oil onto the two Cure bolt orings at the point where the bolt would move past the detents. If you do this each time you play this will reduce the potential wear caused by preventing a rubber on rubber surface contact from occurring.

Sick of feeling miserable because of the stinking COLD weather? Well, worry not! The NEW Eclipse Winter clothing Collection is now in stores around the world. From jackets, light weight hoodies and trackies, to some cool heavy weight hoodies for both girls and boys. Check them out on the Planet Web Site.

Read on for your Tourney set-ups, if you care!!!

Have a great year ballin’ and I hope to see you all around.
