AUTO RESPONSE
Auto Response is a specialty mode which doubles firepower by firing
both when the trigger is pulled and when it is released. Auto Response
is affected by the BPS Limit setting.
BURST MODE
This mode fires a burst of shots when the trigger is pulled and held
down. The number of shots in each burst is determined by the Burst
setting.
FULL-AUTO
In Full-Automatic mode, the Luxe
®
fires repeatedly, while the trigger is
pulled and held. The rate of fire delivered will depend on the value of
the BPS Limit setting.
CUSTOM REBOUND MODE
User-definable Rebound mode allows the Luxe
®
to operate with
ramping built to meet nearly any imaginable rule set. Rebound mode
fires as semi-automatic until the set number of activation shots (Shots
To Enter) are fired at a minimum rate (Shots To Sustain) or faster, at
which point the Rebound mode kicks in and fires additional shots,
maximizing firepower. Once the rate of trigger pulls drops below the
Shots To Sustain setting, one shot is fired per trigger pull. To configure
Rebound mode, adjust the Shots To Enter and Shots To Sustain settings.
S EMI-AUTO
UNCAPPED
This is a traditional semi-automatic firing mode, delivering one shot
per complete trigger pull, and it is the factory default setting for the
Luxe
®
. Semi-Automatic mode is uncapped, and the maximum rate of
fire that can be achieved in this mode will depend on loader feed rates
and Luxe
®
Dwell settings. Semi-Automatic mode is appropriate for use
at most paintball fields and events.
SEMI-AUTO
CAPPED
While this mode functions like Semi-Automatic, with one shot per
trigger pull, it also takes into account the value set in the BPS (Balls
Per Second) Limit. By activating this cap, the Luxe
®
's maximum rate of
fire can be restricted to meet the demands of special game rules, or to
handicap experienced players against those who are new to the sport.
NXL
NXL mode complies with the WPBO firing mode requirements. Initially
this mode acts like Semi-Automatic. After four trigger pulls in quick
succession (200ms or less each), it begins firing repeatedly at the
BPS Limit. If there is a delay between trigger pulls of more than 200
milliseconds, this mode reverts to firing one shot per trigger pull. The
BPS Limit must be set to 10.5 or lower. Check latest editions of league
rules for BPS Limit changes.
PSP BURST
For use in events following PSP rules. Initially this mode acts like Semi-
Automatic until three trigger pulls are made in quick succession. At
this point PSP mode begins a burst of shots with each trigger pull, as
long as the user continues to pull the trigger at least once per second.
Once the trigger is allowed to rest for more than a second, the cycle
begins again with one shot per trigger pull. The PSP mode can be
adjusted with the BPS Limit and BPS Fine settings.
MILLENNIUM
Millennium mode complies with the WPBO firing mode requirements.
Initially this mode acts like Semi-Automatic. After four trigger pulls in
quick succession (200ms or less each), it begins firing repeatedly at
the BPS Limit. If there is a delay between trigger pulls of more than
200 milliseconds, this mode reverts to firing one shot per trigger pull.
The BPS Limit must be set to 10.5 or lower. Check latest editions of
league rules for BPS Limit changes.
FIRING MODE
As its name implies, this setting selects one of the Luxe®'s eleven
available firing modes, each of which is identified by the Luxe
®
speaking the mode name and displaying it near the top of the OLED
display. Settings which affect the performance of a firing mode are
stored specifically for the currently selected mode. Firing mode related
settings are only available for adjustment when their associated firing
modes are selected. For example, Burst Count may only be adjusted
when the firing mode is set to Burst.
SOFTWARE 4.6 FIRING MODES AND SETTINGS
BPS LIMIT
This setting adjusts how fast the Luxe
®
can fire in all modes except Semi-Auto. For
modes such as Capped Semi-Auto, this setting limits the maximum rate of fire.
For modes which provide automatic shots, like Burst and Full-Auto, it determines
the rate of fire. BPS limit is adjusted in whole numbers of Balls Per Second. The
value may be set from 4 BPS to 20 BPS. Default BPS and BPS Fine values vary
between firing modes.
Due to variances in the timing of both the Luxe
®
and paintball shot timers, it is
recommended that players confirm timing values with a field's shot timer before
competition to reduce the chance of a penalty.
DWELL
The Dwell setting determines how long the Luxe® sends power to
its solenoid valve, which in turn affects how long the bolt remains
forward and how much gas is released from the fire chamber to propel
each paintball. Dwell is adjustable from 4 to 25 milliseconds in one
millisecond increments. The default Dwell value is 16 milliseconds,
which provides an excellent balance between gas efficiency, speed and
reliable operation.
FIRST SHOT DROP
The o-rings in the Luxe
®
power core may become set in position when
resting between shots, causing slightly more friction than is seen
during rapid firing. This results in the first shot of a group having
decreased velocity, also known as First Shot Drop Off, or FSDO. In
order to overcome this friction, the anti-bolt-stick function of the Luxe
®
firmware will slightly increase the dwell time of the first shot in a group,.
The increased dwell will compensate for the change in friction, keeping
velocity more consistent. The standard value for First Shot Drop is 7
milliseconds, and it may be adjusted between 0 and 25 milliseconds
in one millisecond increments. A setting of 0 turns off first shot drop
compensation.
FIRST SHOT DROP TIMER
This setting adjusts the amount of time which the Luxe
®
must be at
rest between shots before activating the anti-bolt-stick dwell increase.
Time is adjustable between 20 and 100 seconds in 20 second
increments. The default setting is 20 seconds.
