Routine 6 : Changing functions/features on the board
Factory Default (basic) Menu Settings
- Menu
Allows you to select either Basic or Advanced menu options.
- Fetch
Allows you to put your marker in receiver mode so that it will receive data/settings
transmitted from other marker markers or PDA’s.
- Timer, A1, A2, A3 Feature
This is a fully interactive game timer with 3 independent alarms and will allow you and
your team members to play in unison. The timer may be set in 30 second increments
from 0 to 30 minutes. The 3 independent alarms may also be set in 30 second
increments giving you a very versatile game timer and alarm system. Once the alarms
are set they will be activated by the first trigger pull after making the Angel Live.
- SENSI Test
Allows you to test the SENSI to ensure it is functioning correctly.
Factory Default (Advanced) Menu Settings
In addition to the seven items in the Basic menu, the Advanced menu contains the
following:
- MROF
Allows you to tune your maximum rate of fire whilst the SENSI modes are off. The
MROF should not be set greater than what your loader is capable of delivering. Whilst
the user is in SENSI mode, all limitations to the MROF are removed enabling you to fire
at the fastest possible rates.
- Hopper ( T ) Time Feature
This allows the user to set the hopper (loader) activation time and is settable from 0.1 to
2.0 seconds. This is the time period that the intellifeed will supply a signal output for the
hopper (loader).
- Hopper ( A ) Activation Feature
This allows the user to set the hopper (loader) activation point and can be set to activate
on the following;
A1 =Activates on every shot;
A2 =Activates of a ROF of 2 shots or greater;
A3 =Activates of a ROF of 3 shots or greater;
A4 =Activates of a ROF of 4 shots or greater.
- Temp Feature
This allows you to select Fahrenheit or Centigrade and monitors the environmental
temperature that the marker is exposed to.
- Vibrator Feature
Should the game timer vibrator alarm function not be required this feature allows you to
disable the vibrator. The game timer will still function with the vibrator disabled but no
interactive alarms will activate.
- Trip Feature
This is a resettable shot counter that allows you to view the total number of shots you
have fired, and can be referred to at any stage, eg. per game, per day or per event.
- Backlight Feature
This allows you to switch the display backlight on/off.
- Send IR Feature
This allows you to switch on the infra red transmitter and be capable of transmitting
infra red data to other Angels. Send IR will transmit the Game Timer and its alarms
information and will also switch on the vibrator and reset the trip meter.
- ROF Feature
This will record your highest rate of fire achieved shooting your ANGEL™. The data is
constantly updated with the highest reading achieved should it exceed the previous
readings to ensure that you record the latest data. You can reset this when necessary.
- Dwell Feature
This controls the valve opening time. Longer Dwell times use more gas and generates
more noise but allows the marker a greater tolerance to paint, temperature and
pressure variables. Shorter Dwell times use less gas and reduce noise but are less
tolerant of poor paint and pressure variables. Adjustment is only recommended if you
wish to fine-tune your marker to specific accessories.
- Cycles Feature
This is the Angel equivalent of a milometer and will register the total shot count that
the Angel has fired.
- ID Feature
This is a unique serial number identification that is factory set.
- Trigger Offset Feature
This allows the user to set the trigger snubber and can be used to ensure that trigger
bounce is reduced on triggers that have been set with a very short pull. It should be
used to eliminate trigger bounce and not used to induce trigger bounce. It is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that the setting they have selected does not cause accidental
discharges. Level 1 - Minimum Trigger Damping, Level 20 - Maximum Trigger Damping. Never adjust your trigger offset sofinely that accidental discharge may occur
due to shock loads or vibrations.
The middle (orange) button will be used to cycle through the various menus when the marker is in Safe mode
Upon bringing up the selected menu, pressing the green button will cycle through the various choices within the specific menu
To access the dwell, TR and other non-externally adjustable modes you will need to access the internal menu. These are two buttons located on the bottom right of the PCB. The yellow button cycles through the internal menu choices.
The blue button is used to cycle through the choices within the selected menu. Hitting this button in "RESET" mode will reset all settings on the marker back to the factory default. But this will not reset the shot counter or change the Serial Number.
There are two options for the LCD menu on the A4, basic and advanced. For the sake of optimizing your marker's performance I strongly recommend you use the advanced menu options. Also keep in mind that the dwell, trigger offset and SENSI mode cannot be changed externally, however every other feature can be modified using the three membrane buttons on the rear of the trigger frame.
