Warning: Before adjusting functions, remove the air source from the Empire AXE and
install barrel-blocking device.
The board inside your Empire AXE features 5 functions and uses a 3-color LED indicator on the backside of the front fore-grip to indicate functions and modes during
programming.
To adjust the board settings, place the Empire AXE on a flat surface with barrel pointing to the left. Using a 5/64” Allen wrench, loosen the screw that secures the removable fore grip door, remove the door, and set aside. This will expose the battery and
the circuit board.
Locate the two buttons which are used to adjust the settings. The function button (B)
is a small black button on the rear of the board, to the left and slightly above the power
button (A); see Fig.11.1 It is not necessary to remove the board from the housing in
order to manage settings.
Functions and Modes
The Empire AXE must be off to begin managing functions. While the Empire AXE is
off, press the function button (B) to access one of the 5 different functions and make
adjustments.
(Fig. 10.2)
Notes:
• This marker was designed with safety and safety standards in mind. If you attempt
to shoot paintballs at a higher velocity than established safety standards, the
marker may not function properly.
• Check the velocity every time before using your Empire AXE.

(Fig. 11.1)Once you push the function button the appropriate amount of times to get into the desired function, the LED will flash a specific color per the descriptions below followed
by a number of flashes which will indicate the current setting in that function.
• Firing Modes (Solid Red LED)
• Rate of Fire (Solid Green LED)
• Dwell (Solid Orange LED)
• BIP Delay (Flashing Red LED)
• Ramping Point (Quick-Flashing Green LED)
To increase or decrease a setting of a function, use the power button (A) and function
button (B). The power button (A) will decrease a setting by one every time it is pushed.
The function button (B) will increase a setting by one every time it is pushed. The
setting can be changed when the function you select has a solid light LED which will
come on before the board flashes the current setting.
Example: Press the function button (B) one time and you will be in function 1 which is
firing modes (solid red), or press the function button 3 times and you will be in function
3 which is dwell (solid orange).
Firing Modes
To get into the firing mode function, make sure the power is off; then push the function button one time and the LED will turn to red and then flash to indicate the firing
mode that it is currently in. For example the default mode is Semi-Auto which will be
demonstrated by 1 flash. There are 4 firing modes:
• Semi-Auto (1 Flash) — One shot per trigger pull, defaulted to 20 bps maximum.
• Ramping/PSP (2 Flashes) — The Empire AXE will operate in semi-auto mode for
the first 3 shots; then if player achieves the maximum trigger pull as defined by the
ramping point value in function 5, which is defaulted to 4 trigger pulls per second for
this mode, the Empire AXE will ramp to the rate of fire value in function 2, which is
defaulted to 13 shots per second for this mode.
• Full-Auto/NXL (3 Flashes) — The Empire AXE will operate in semi-auto mode for
the first 3 shots; then pull and hold trigger on the 4th shot, and the Empire AXE will fire
full-auto at the rate of fire value in function 2, which is defaulted to 13 shots per second
for this mode.
• Ramping/Millen. (4 Flashes) — The Empire AXE will operate in a semi-auto mode
until player achieves the maximum trigger pull as defined by the ramping point value in
function 5, which is defaulted to 6 trigger pulls per second for this mode. At that point,
and as long as 6 trigger pulls per second are maintained, the Empire AXE will ramp to
the rate of fire value in function 2, which is defaulted to 10 shots per second for this
mode.
Note: After modes 2 –4 are selected, it is possible to raise or lower both the rate of fire
and ramping point values in case the tournament rules change.
To cycle through the firing modes you use both the power and function buttons. Once
you push the function button one time to get into the firing modes the LED will flash
red. While the LED is lit red, push the function button (B) to cycle up (from 1 for semiauto to 4 for NXL full auto) and to go the opposite direction (from 4 at NXL full auto
through to 1 for semi-auto). Use the power button (A) to cycle down.

Example: If you are in the default semi-auto mode and want to go to full-auto/NXL,
push the function button (B) twice while the LED is lit red. Upon release you should
see the LED flash red 3 times. To move from full-auto/NXL to ramping/PSP, push the
function button (B) one time to get into firing modes, then while LED is lit solid red,
push power button (A) one time and release. The LED should flash red two times to
indicate that you are now in firing mode 2-ramping/PSP.
Max Rate-of-Fire (ROF)
To get into the ROF function, make sure power is off, then push function button (B)
two times and LED will turn to a solid green and then flash to indicate the current
maximum rate of fire that you are currently set to. Default is 20 BPS (balls per second).
To adjust ROF push the function button (B) two times and while the LED is lit a solid
green use either the function button (to toggle up or increase your ROF) or the power
button (to decrease the ROF). Max rate of fire is adjustable from 8–20 bps, with .5 bps
increments.
Example: To start you will be in a default setting of 20 BPS. Push the function button
twice to get into ROF mode. While the LED is lit a solid green, press the power button
(A) 5 times to take you to 15 BPS. Upon releasing the function button, the LED should
then blink 15 times indicating your new rate of fire.
then blink 15 times indicating your new rate of fire.
Dwell Setting
To get into the dwell function, make sure the power is off, and then push the function
button (B) three times and the LED will turn to a solid orange and then flash to
indicate the current dwell setting. The Empire AXE dwell setting is defaulted at setting
28 (28 x .25 milliseconds = 7 ms). Dwell is adjustable from 1–45. This function is also
controlLED through the same techniques used for firing modes and ROF functions,
while the LED is lit a solid orange, increase or decrease your dwell by increments of
.25 milliseconds.
BIP (Ball in Place) Delay
To get into the BIP function, make sure the power is off, and then push the function
button (B) 4 times. The LED will quickly flash red to indicate that you are in the BIP
function. Then the LED will slowly flash to indicate the BIP setting that you are currently
using.
Default is (5) (one flash =1 millisecond). BIP is adjustable from 1–40 milliseconds. This
function is also controlLED through the same techniques used for firing modes and
ROF functions. While the LED is red, increase or decrease your BIP in 1 millisecond
increments.
Note: If you are not using a force-feed loader, it is recommended that you use a higher
BIP setting.

Factory Board Reset
There are three ways to reset the circuit board to default factory settings.
• Turn the power off then push the function button and power button at the
same time.
• Remove the battery then simultaneously push and hold the function button and
power button for a full 10 seconds.
• Disconnect the battery and leave it idle for 15 seconds.
Board Defaults
1. Firing Modes – 1 blink (Semi-auto)
2. Rate of Fire – 25 blinks (20 BPS)
3. Dwell - 28 blinks (7 ms)
4. BIP Delay – 5 blinks (5 ms)
5. Ramping Point – 8 (4 BPS) for PSP, 10 (5 BPS) for Millen.
12. Trigger Adjustments
The Empire AXE trigger can be adjusted by the four set screws in the trigger. Three of
the set screws can be adjusted without removing the trigger frame assembly.
When a trigger pull is recognized, the LED will quickly flash a dim red for each trigger
pull. If no trigger pull is recognized, the LED flashes normally based on the status of
the eyes and battery power level. If the trigger is held in, the dim red LED will stay
illuminated.
Before making any trigger adjustments, de-gas the Empire AXE, make sure the gauge
reads 0 psi, and then switch on the Empire AXE with eyes turned off to easily monitor
the current activation point by watching the LED, while listening to the solenoid
clicking.
You will notice three set screws in your trigger (Fig. 12.1). These can be adjusted with
a 1/16” Allen wrench. Make small adjustments and check that the trigger is activating
the solenoid.

• Rate of Fire (Solid Green LED)
• Dwell (Solid Orange LED)
• BIP Delay (Flashing Red LED)
• Ramping Point (Quick-Flashing Green LED)
To increase or decrease a setting of a function, use the power button (A) and function
button (B). The power button (A) will decrease a setting by one every time it is pushed.
The function button (B) will increase a setting by one every time it is pushed. The
setting can be changed when the function you select has a solid light LED which will
come on before the board flashes the current setting.
Example: Press the function button (B) one time and you will be in function 1 which is
firing modes (solid red), or press the function button 3 times and you will be in function
3 which is dwell (solid orange).

• Ramping/PSP (2 Flashes) — The Empire AXE will operate in semi-auto mode for
the first 3 shots; then if player achieves the maximum trigger pull as defined by the
• Full-Auto/NXL (3 Flashes) —
The Empire AXE will operate in semi-auto mode for
the first 3 shots; then pull and hold trigger on the 4th shot, and the Empire AXE will fire
full-auto at the rate of fire value in function 2, which is defaulted to 13 shots per second
for this mode.
• Ramping/Millen. (4 Flashes) —
The Empire AXE will operate in a semi-auto mode
until player achieves the maximum trigger pull as defined by the ramping point value in
function 5, which is defaulted to 6 trigger pulls per second for this mode. At that point,
and as long as 6 trigger pulls per second are maintained, the Empire AXE will ramp to
the rate of fire value in function 2, which is defaulted to 10 shots per second for this
mode.
Note: After modes 2 –4 are selected, it is possible to raise or lower both the rate of fire
and ramping point values in case the tournament rules change.
To cycle through the firing modes you use both the power and function buttons. Once
you push the function button one time to get into the firing modes the LED will flash
red. While the LED is lit red, push the function button (B) to cycle up (from 1 for semiauto
to 4 for NXL full auto) and to go the opposite direction (from 4 at NXL full auto
through to 1 for semi-auto). Use the power button (A) to cycle down.
Example: If you are in the default semi-auto mode and want to go to full-auto/NXL,
push the function button (B) twice while the LED is lit red. Upon release you should
see the LED flash red 3 times. To move from full-auto/NXL to ramping/PSP, push the
function button (B) one time to get into firing modes, then while LED is lit solid red,
push power button (A) one time and release. The LED should flash red two times to
indicate that you are now in firing mode 2-ramping/PSP.
