Trigger Adjustment - Proto MATRIX M7 Owner's Manual

M7 BOARD
SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS
BATTERY
The 9V battery will last for about 40,000 shots. Please be aware that there are substantial differences in performance between different brands of batteries. Use of
high quality alkaline or lithium ion batteries is recommended for maximum battery life. If you plan not to use your marker for a long period of time (a month), it is
recommended that you remove the battery from the marker. When the battery voltage starts to go too low, you will notice your velocity starts to decrease and the
board can turn off. For tournament use, it is recommended to change the battery for each tournament. When changing your battery, take special care to ensure the
wiring harness is not pinched under the battery
CHANGING THE BATTERY
The battery is housed on the left side of the grip frame. To access the battery, remove the two screws holding the left side grip panel down. Use a 3/32" Allen wrench.
Carefully lift the battery out of the frame, taking care not to damage the battery lead wires. Clip a new battery into the 9V connector and carefully place it back into
the frame, making sure that no wires are pinched underneath the battery.
W A R N I N G
• A low battery will not be able to
power both the ACE and the
trigger switch, causing ACE failure.
• If the battery is low, it may not be able
to power the solenoid correctly. This
will affect the M7's velocity,
causing it to become inconsistent
and/or low.

TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT

Figure 1
ON/OFF AIRPORT
The M7 comes equipped with an On/Off Airport attached to the bottom of the
frame. To turn on the gas supply, twist the on/off knob clockwise, all the way
in. To turn off the gas supply, twist the on/off knob counterclockwise, all the
way out. As you turn the knob out, the residual gas between the Hyper2™ and
the on/off airport is vented.
REMOVING THE ON/OFF AIRPORT
1 Follow the instructions on page 6 to remove the battery from the frame.
2 Using a 3/32" allen key, turn the airport locking screw counterclockwise
until the on/off airport is loosened.
3 Slide the on/off airport off of the frame.
4 To re-install the on/off airport, follow steps 1-3 in reverse order.

ADJUSTING YOUR TRIGGER
The trigger's forward travel and over travel are fully adjustable so that the user can fine-tune
the trigger to his or her exact liking.
• Remove the grip frame from the body of the M7.
• As you pull the frame away from the body, take care so as not to damage the wires
running between the two parts. Be careful not to lose the trigger spring.
• The two adjustment screws are located at the top of the trigger in the grip frame
(see figure 1) .
• Use a 5/64" Allen wrench to make the desired adjustments.
• The screw toward the front of the trigger controls the forward travel. Screwing it in
will shorten the trigger's length of pull.
Note: If this screw is adjusted too far, the switch will be held down at all times and the marker
will not fire.
• The screw toward the rear of the trigger controls the over travel. By turning this
screw you can adjust how far the trigger will travel after it reaches the firing point.
Note: If this screw is adjusted too far, the trigger will not be allowed to travel far enough to
depress the switch and fire the marker.
• When the desired trigger pull has been achieved, reattach the frame to the body.
• Take care that the spring is seated properly. Using the trigger without a spring is
not recommended and will cause the microswitch to fail much sooner than when a
spring is used.
• Be sure that all wires are laid properly in their appropriate cavities.
NOTE: Be sure that the frame and trigger assembly are kept clean. If there is excess
dirt or paint build up around the trigger, the trigger will no longer move freely. In
addition, paint and dirt can cause the microswitch to not function properly or fail.
W A R N I N G
• Be sure the trigger is not adjusted to the
point where it is too sensitive and may
cause accidental discharge of the marker.
• Removing the trigger spring will cause
premature wear on the microswitch,
resulting in failure.
• Be sure you do not pinch the wires
between the frame and body when
reattaching the frame to the body.
