Power Operation Sliding the power switch to the “on” position turns the marker on. The battery indicator will show the current power level of your battery with a flickering red, yellow, or green LED. It will then show a solid or blinking blue LED, depending on the presence of an object in the breech. Every time the marker is turned on, the eyes are enabled.
Eye Operation & Logic The eyes are enabled when the marker is first turned on. The eyes can be toggled on and off by holding down the trigger for 3 seconds.
Musashi 5 AKA Board Instructions • • • • • • • •
Features Combination board – works in both the Viking and Excalibur, with Humphrey or MAC solenoids Based on the Musashi 5 software Includes 5 fire modes: uncapped semi-auto, adjustable semi-auto, PSP ramping, PSP burst, and NXL full-automatic Continuously monitors the trigger switch through the entire firing cycle Adjustable ABS programming prevents first shot drop-off AMB (anti-mechanical bounce) and CPF (cycle percentage filter) algorithms help to eliminate mechanical and switch bounce Power efficient software lengthens battery life Programming mode allows changes to debounce, dwell, loader delay, AMB, ABS dwell, fire mode, fire mode max rate of fire, eye mode, Viking bolt delay, cycle percentage filter, ramp start, board mode, Excalibur solenoid delay, Excalibur watch delay, Excalibur bolt close delay, and Excalibur eyes off rate of fire All settings are stored in non-volatile memory so they are not lost when battery is disconnected One-touch startup enables the marker to fire instantly Three eye modes: delayed, forced with force shot, and test with LED rate of fire indicator Low battery indicator software
If used, the eye system cycles the marker as fast as possible. During each shot the eyes watch for the bolt to return, ending the current firing cycle and starting another as quickly as the pneumatics allow. If the eye system is continually blocked (e.g. putting your finger in front of the eyes) and is unable to see the bolt return after every shot, the max rate of fire will be reduced to about 12 balls per second to prevent further chopping, and the LED will slowly blink yellow to indicate an eye malfunction. The only way to show the true speed of the M5 AKA board is to fire the marker with paint and air. To determine if the eyes are working correctly, insert an object into the breech. Check to see if the LED changes from blinking blue to solid blue and then back to blinking blue once the object is removed.
Programming The tournament lock must be disabled in order to change settings on the board. By default the tournament lock is disabled. To toggle the tournament lock: 1. Turn the marker off. 2. Ground the left two pins of the programming connector together with a conductive object (see arrow in picture below). 3. Turn the marker on. 4. The LED will continuously flash red or green to indicate the status of the tournament lock (red is lock ON, green is lock OFF).
Installation Installation of the M5 AKA board is relatively easy, but care must be taken so as not to pinch or damage the wiring. 1. Remove the front and rear grip frame screws with a 1/8” Allen (hex) wrench. 2. Gently pull the grip frame away from the body, being careful not to jerk any wires. 3. Unscrew the two nylon mounting screws that hold the stock board in place and gently lift the board out of the grip frame. 4. Remove one plug at a time from the stock board and transfer it to the matching socket on the M5 AKA board. Every socket is labeled on the M5 AKA board, but it is easier if you transfer each plug over, one at a time. One edge socket (labeled “sol 2”) is unused if installing in a Viking. 5. Carefully place the M5 AKA board into the grip frame, making sure that all the wires are tucked out of the way and do not get pinched. 6. Secure the M5 AKA board using the two nylon screws. 7. Test to make sure everything works by turning the marker on. 8. Carefully put the grip frame back onto the main body of the Viking or Excalibur. As you do this, make sure none of the eye or solenoid wires are pinched between the body halves. The wires must be contained within the body cavity where they will not be damaged. 9. Secure the grip frame to the marker body, using the front and rear frame screws.
LED Indicator The multi-color LED that shines out the data port shows which mode of operation the marker is currently in: Rapid Blinking Red At startup this indicates an exhausted battery Rapid Blinking Yellow At startup this indicates a low battery Rapid Blinking Green At startup this indicates a good battery Solid Blue Ball in breech, ready to fire Slow Blinking Blue Breech empty (marker will still fire if in Excalibur mode) Slow Blinking Yellow Eye malfunction; clean eyes or make sure the gun is being fired with paint and air Slow Blinking Red Eyes disabled If using a Viking, the rate of fire is limited to 20 balls per second in fire mode 1; otherwise capped at fire mode max rate of fire for fire modes 2 – 5 If using an Excalibur, the rate of fire is limited to the Excalibur eyes off rate of fire setting.
To change settings you must enter programming mode. While the marker and the tournament lock are off, pull and hold the trigger and turn the marker on. This will initiate the programming mode, showing a rainbow sequence, and then stop on solid green. Pulling and releasing the trigger quickly will toggle between the different programming modes: Green Debounce Purple Dwell Yellow Loader delay Blue AMB (anti-mechanical bounce) Red ABS dwell White Fire mode Teal Fire mode max rate of fire Flickering Green Eye mode Flickering Purple Viking bolt delay Flickering Yellow CPF (cycle percentage filter) Flickering Blue Ramp start Flickering Red Board mode Flickering White Excalibur solenoid delay Flickering Teal Excalibur watch delay Alt Green/Blue Excalibur bolt close delay Alt Red/Blue Excalibur eyes off rate of fire When the LED is lit for the desired setting, press and hold the trigger…
