QUICK REFERENCE - USING YOUR MARKER WA R N I N G Air Supply - The MATRIX should be operated using air/nitrogen gas only. This air needs to be supplied to the Hyper2™ in-line regulator at a regulated pressure of no more than 850 psi. The Hyper2™ in-line regulator comes factory preset at 185psi.

Gassing Up Your MATRIX - Screw in your air system to the on/off airport and turn the knob of the airport clockwise, all the way in. Turning On Your MATRIX - The MATRIX’s power is controlled by two buttons. The top button turns the marker on and off, while the bottom button turns the eye on and off. Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the marker on. The LED in the grip will illuminate during the boot sequence.
The MATRIX marker is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or death.
Please read, understand and follow the directions in the MATRIX owner’s manual.
NOTE: If the eye is not working properly, try replacing the battery.
Eye protection that is designed specifically for paintball and meets ASTM/CE standards must be
Orange Red Green Blinking Orange Blinking Red Blinking Green
Boot sequence Breech is clear, no ball (eye on) Ball in breech, ready to fire (eye on) Indicates a low battery, battery should be changed as soon as possible Eye is off Eye failure (see MATRIX Board, page 4)
LPR - The LPR is pre-set from the factory at approximately 75-80 psi and should need no adjustment out of the box. If fine tuning adjustment is desired or needed, you must be sure that you are adjusting the LPR correctly. See page 10 for detailed instructions. If the LPR is improperly adjusted, you could dramatically hinder the MATRIX’s performance or prevent the marker from functioning at all. NOTE: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the LPR’s output pressure. Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the LPR’s output pressure. Hopper - To get the best performance out of your MATRIX, it is recommended that you use a motorized loader. Preferably one that force feeds the paint really, really fast! Adjusting Velocity - The velocity is adjusted through the Hyper2™ in-line regulator. The Hyper2™ in-line is preset from the factory at approximately 230 psi. This pressure setting should have the marker shooting at about 285fps. Your paint-to-barrel fit will also have a noticeable affect on your velocity. Make sure that the paintball fits into the barrel loosely but does not drop through. NOTE: For the Hyper2™, turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the output pressure, decreasing the velocity. Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the output pressure, increasing the velocity. NOTE: If the battery is too low, it may not be able to power the solenoid correctly. This will affect your MATRIX’s velocity, causing it to become inconsistent and/or low.
