USING THE ETEK5
ETEK5 MANUAL 25
UNDERSTANDING THE BREECH SENSOR OPERATION
The ETEK5 displays the status of the Breech Sensor using the LED on the
navigation console as follows:
INDICATION BREECH SENSOR STATUS
Flashing yellow
BS enabled. No paintball detected
- Marker will not re
Flashing light blue
BS enabled. Paintball detected
- Marker will re
Flashing purple (slow) BS disabled - Marker will re
Flashing purple (fast)
Blockage detected - BS temporarily
disabled - Marker will re
Any changes to the Breech Sensor status will be displayed immediately.
This provides valuable feedback to the user.
The BS is able to switch itself off in the event that a blockage or contamination
prevents it from functioning correctly. This is represented by a fast ashing
purple LED on the navigation console. The ETEK5’s ROF will be capped at
2bps less than the Maximum ROF with BS Off up to a maximum of 10bps. In this
instance, the BS will switch itself back on once the blockage is cleared and the
correct operation of the BS can then be resumed.
THE BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
When the ETEK5 is turned on, the level of the battery will be displayed on the
LED (after an initial blue ash

signifying the ETEK5 has powered on).
The status of the battery can be displayed manually on the LED by quickly
pressing and releasing
on the navigation console.
When the battery is fresh the LED will ash green. As the battery is drained the
LED will change colour from green to yellow then red.
When the battery reaches a level where it will no longer function reliably, the LED
will start to ash red. At this point the battery must be changed for a new one.
For instructions on installing a new battery see page 7.

WARNING!
When the battery level indicator is being displayed the marker is still on and
will re if the trigger is pulled (dependant on the condition of the BS).
