Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a EMPIRE®series Electronic Paintball Loader. The EMPIRE®Belt Drive Electronic

Paintball Loader is one of the world’s fastest responding paintball loaders. The EMPIRE®series Electronic

Paintball Loaders use a spring-driven, true force-feed mechanism which not only keeps the paintball stack

intact at all times, but also provides instantaneous acceleration when a ball is needed. The infrared sen-

sor system monitors the motion (acceleration and deceleration) of the ball stack and keeps the drive spring

wound. The faster you shoot, the faster your EMPIRE®feeds.

Getting Started

Battery Installation - Unscrew the battery door screw with a Phillips screw-

driver and remove the battery door. Remove the battery holder and install

six AA type Alkaline batteries into the holder following the polarity mark-

ings on the holder. It may be necessary to wrap tape around the battery

holder to prevent batteries from coming out during rough play. With the

front of the loader pointing straight up, replace battery holder bottom-

ﬁrst, with the wires going to one side and the connector at the right side

of the top of the battery holder, otherwise the battery holder will not ﬁt

properly and the battery door will not fully seat against the shell. Replace

battery door and be sure it seats easily against the shell before tightening

the battery door screw. Do not overtighten the battery door screw.

Note:

1) (Figure 1) The battery wire connector is a 9V-type connector, but 9V batteries do not have sufﬁcient

power for the EMPIRE®. Only use 6- AA batteries installed in the supplied battery holder.

2) NEVER use rechargeable packs in place of the supplied 6- AA battery holder. The EMPIRE®electronic

components are not designed to handle the high output of rechargeable packs. The use of rechargeable

packs poses a ﬁre hazard and risk of injury, and will void your warranty.

3) Do not use rechargeable AA batteries. Rechargeable batteries have less voltage than alkaline batteries

and do not provide enough power for the EMPIRE®to work properly.

4) NEVER attempt to modify the electronic components, wiring, or battery connector. Doing so poses a ﬁre

hazard and risk of injury, and will void your warranty.



Figure 1

Attaching the Loader - Insert the loader’s feedneck into the marker’s feedneck. A loader elbow or clamp-

ing-type feedneck may be required. Do not overtighten the loader elbow or clamping-type feedneck. It may

be necessary to lightly sand down the loader’s neck in order for it to ﬁt into your marker’s feedneck.

Loading Paintballs - Press up on the bottom edge of the lid to open. After loading paintballs, be sure the

lid is securely closed to prevent spilling paintballs.

Activating the EMPIRE®

V35

EMPIRE®V35 model - Press and release the power button on the backplate. The LED will then blink green

the number of times to indicate the speed setting, then the motor will begin spinning to wind the drive cone

spring and load the ball stack.

Powering the Loader OFF - Press and hold the power button on the backplate. The LED will then go red,

and you may release the button and the loader will turn OFF.

1) When ﬁrst turned ON, the motor will continue to spin until the ball stack is full. If no paintballs are pres-

ent, the loader will turn OFF after 2 minutes.

2) The loader will turn off after 1 hour of no activity if the ball stack is full but no paintballs are being fed.

Programming the Speed

To enter programming mode, while the loader is OFF, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds and

the LED begins to ﬂash. Release the button. The LED will ﬂash the current speed selected in green followed

by one red ﬂash to indicate the end, then repeat. After 10 seconds of no activity, the loader will exit pro-

gramming mode and turn OFF. The default speed is Speed 3.

Speed 1 17 BPS

Speed 2 21 BPS

Speed 3 24 BPS

Speed 4 28 BPS

Speed 5 32 BPS

Speed 6 35 BPS

Once in programming mode, each time the button is pressed the program advances 1 speed setting. Press

the button once for each advancement desired. Once at Speed 6, an additional button press will cycle the

speed setting around to Speed 1 again. After each button press, the LED will begin ﬂashing the new speed

setting. When you have advanced to the setting you would like, do not press the button any further and

after 10 seconds of no activity the loader will exit programming mode and turn OFF.

EXAMPLE - If you are in Speed 3 and you press the button 2 times, you will now be in Speed 5. If you are

in Speed 5 and you press the button 3 times, you will now be in Speed 2.

Note:

Disconnecting the batteries will reset the speed setting back to default, which is Speed 3.

EMPIRE®Z-Code Explained

Your new EMPIRE®series Electronic Paintball Loader control board includes Z-Code, which is a jam detec-

tion circuit that determines when an internal jam occurs. It then initiates a jam clearing sequence which

attempts to clear the jam 3 times before changing to a fail safe mode, which stops the motor to protect the

motor and circuitry from being damaged. The fail safe mode will be indicated by an alternating red/green

LED sequence until the loader is turned OFF.

Rip Drive™Operation

The Rip Drive™ is the thumbwheel located under the EMPIRE® V35 and has several uses:

1) Manually pre-tension up to 10 paintballs into your marker for every revolution of the thumbwheel. This

can be done to chronograph your marker without the need to turn on the loader, or to feed paintballs if

your batteries should happen to die during a game.

2) Clear a ball jam in your loader during a game by rotating the Rip Drive™ counter-clockwise (as viewed

from beneath) to clear the jam, then clockwise again to pre-tension the ball stack.

3) Load paintballs into your marker if your batteries go dead.

4) Remove tension from the ball stack between games.

General care

Emptying the Loader for Storage - With the loader turned off, turn it upside down to empty the paintballs.

For models with an installed Rip Drive™, rotate the Rip Drive™ counter clockwise while the loader is upside

down to release the paintballs in the ball stack. Do not store your EMPIRE® V35 with any paintballs remain-

ing inside. General Care continued on next page »

General Care continued:

Remove the Batteries - When storing the loader for an extended period of time, remove the battery pack

completely and store in a dry place where it will not come in contact with the loader itself, liquids, or any

metal parts.

Cleaning the Loader - To clean the loader, use a clean dry cotton or microﬁber cloth, or apply a small

amount of water or goggle lens cleaner to a clean cloth. Apply only enough water or lens cleaner to

dampen the cloth.

Note:

1) DO NOT use glass cleaner or other chemicals on plastics. Glass cleaners and other chemicals deterio-

rate the plastic.

2) Do not use paper towels on the loader shell as paper towels scratch the plastic.

3) If any paintballs break inside the loader, DO NOT use any liquids or chemicals to rinse out the loader.

Pouring liquids or running water through the EMPIRE® V35 will destroy the electrical components. If it is

necessary to clean the inside of the loader, follow the disassembly instructions.

Loader Disassembly

Note:

1) Any damages caused by disassembly or reassembly are not covered under warranty.

2) Consult the parts diagram and parts list for assistance during disassembly and reassembly.
