Attaching the barrel
The barrel simply threads on. The barrel threads are autococker type.
Turning the marker ON
The electronic ON/OFF is located inside the trigger guard. Push the knob inward to turn the board ON and pull out to turn it OFF. All three leds will come on for 2secs and the marker will be ready to fire in semi mode with the eyes on.
Adjusting the velocity
The Proton has an adjustable regulator in the handle frame that controls the pressure in the marker thereby controlling the velocity. The best way to adjust the velocity is to turn the adjusting screw clockwise using a 1/8” hex key. This will be the minimum velocity. Check the velocity with a chronograph and gradually increase the velocity by turning the screw counterclockwise.
Trigger adjustment
QUick Set-up Guide
The trigger has adjustments for pre travel, post travel and microswitch activation point. These are adjusted via the set screws in the trigger using a 1/16” hex key.
Connecting the air source
Adjustment procedure
The Proton has a standard ASA to accept a screw in air tank. First, make sure that the knob is all the way out by turning it counterclockwise. Carefully screw in the air tank until it stops. Turning the knob clockwise will allow air to flow into the marker from the tank. To remove the tank, turn the knob counterclockwise. This will release all the air in the marker and make it safe to remove the tank. We recommend the use of compressed air or nitrogen air tank with a maximum output pressure of 800 PSI.
Attaching a loader
Loosen the screw on the clamping feed neck with a 5/32” hex key and insert the loader. Adjust it to the desired location and tighten.
Ensure that the air is turned off to the marker. Turn the marker on Turn the eyes off. Now when you pull the trigger you will hear the solenoid valve clicking. Adjust the pre and post travel position of the trigger to suit your liking. Pull the trigger and listen for the solenoid. Turn the set screw clockwise until you hear the solenoid valve clicking. If you do not hear the solenoid then the screw may be too far in. Turn the trigger set screw counterclockwise until you hear the solenoid click when you pull the trigger. Check for proper function by pulling and releasing the trigger.
Standard firing modes
The firing mode is changed by pressing the lower mode button. The green LED will indicate the current mode. Pressing the mode button again will cycle through the various modes. After 10 seconds the LED will turn off to save power.
Friring Mode Semi-Automatic
Function
Green LED Display
One shot per trigger pull at a rate of fire (ROF) determined by the user setting.
Blinking once slowly
3 Shot Burst
Three shots are fired at a shot rate of 10 bps regardless if the eyes are on or off. If the trigger is released before the three shots are fired the marker will stop firing.
3 quick blinks
Full Automatic
Fires continuously at 10 bps while the trigger is pulled regardless if the eyes are on or off.
Continuously blinking
Ramping 1
Fires in semi auto and ramps up to the max ROF when the trigger is pulled more than the ramp engage parameter. (Parameter 4) Ex. Ramp engage set to 5 bps. If the trigger is pulled more than 5 bps, the Proton will start firing at the max ROF setting.
Fading LED following by 1 blink
Ramping 2
Same as above with another ramp engage parameter setting. (Parameter 5)
Fading LED following by 2 blinks
Intelligent break beam ball sensor system
The Proton has a break beam sensor system with eye shields that prevent any dirt from entering the sensor. The eyes can be cleaned by simply removing the bolt and using a squeegee. If any malfunction should occur the software automatically overrides the eye function and reduces the rate of fire. The upper mode button on the foregrip allows you to enable or disable the sensor system. The software detects the actual position of the ball as it approaches the bottom of the breach. This is a more reliable way of ensuring that the ball is in position rather than using a time delay. The in-position tolerance can be adjusted depending on the paintballs being used. If you are using relatively tough paintballs you can set the precision to low. A high precision will ensure that the ball is fully in the breach which would be useful for fragile paintballs. Refer to the user adjustable parameter section to change this setting.
Turning the ball sensor ON & OFF
The infrared ball sensor can be turned on and off by pressing the eye mode button. Briefly pressing the eye mode will indicate the current status (ON or OFF). The eye function is indicated by the yellow led in the following manner: One blink
Eye sensor ON
Two blinks
Eye sensor OFF
Eye Sensor Alarms:
The Proton software monitors the ball sensor and reports an alarm if no ball is present or if the breach has not cleared in the allotted time. This may be due to debris blocking the sensor, the sensor not functioning or if the bolt is jammed. Ball sensor alarms are indicated by the red LED. When the Proton software detects a breach not cleared error the shot rate is automatically reduced to 12 balls per second. This allows you to use the marker even though the ball sensor is not working properly, unless the bolt is jammed. The Proton will continue to display an error while you are shooting. Refer to the troubleshooting section to clear the error. Alarm

Tournament Modes / Tournament Lock
The tournament modes are adjusted via the dip switch on the main board located in the foregrip. To access the board, remove the foregrip using a 1/8” hex key. Slide the foregrip off the marker. Use a small screwdriver to flip the switches to the desired setting. After you change the setting you will need to cycle the power on and off to load the new setting. The green led indicates you are in tournament mode while the yellow and red led show the respective modes based on the dip switch positions. If you press the mode button while in…
