Planet Eclipse Protoyz Speedster Ball Sensor Board Assembly

The Planet Eclipse Protoyz Speedster ball sensor detects the presence of paintballs in the feed neck to efficiently control the loader's motorized agitation paddle.

Function and Mechanics

• Ball Detection: The sensor board uses a specialized eye sensor to look for paintballs waiting to be fed into the marker's breach.

• Paddle Management: When a ball is detected in the feed channel, the sensor signals the loader to pause the agitator's spinning to avoid chopping or jamming paint.

• Resuming Feed: As soon as the marker fires and the feed neck clears, the sensor detects the empty space and instantly reactivates the agitator to maintain a feeding speed of over 10 balls per second.

Troubleshooting & Maintenance:

If your Protoyz Speedster is spinning constantly without stopping, or failing to spin when empty, the ball sensor typically needs attention:

 1 Clean the Eyes: Paintball residue, dirt, or a broken ball inside the hopper can block the sensors. Wipe down the interior channel and sensor area with a damp microfiber cloth.

2 Check Alignment: If you have taken the toolless shell apart, verify that the sensor board is seated correctly. Misaligned sensors will prevent the loader from registering paintballs.

3 Replacement Part: If cleaning does not fix the issue, the sensor board may be damaged. The official replacement component is the ProToyz Speedster Loader Sensor Board.
