Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your ACETECH Quadra S Tracer Unit.

• Cleaning:
  • Periodically wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
  • Ensure the BB detection sensors and light emitters are clear of obstructions. Use a cotton swab if necessary.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials for cleaning.
• Battery Care:
  • Avoid completely draining the battery before recharging.
  • If storing the unit for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50-70% capacity.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Storage:
  • When not in use, store the unit in a protective case or pouch to prevent scratches and impact damage.
  • Keep away from extreme temperatures and moisture.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Quadra S unit, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Unit Not Activating:
  • Ensure the battery is charged. Connect to a USB-C charger and check the indicator light.
  • Verify that BBs are passing cleanly through the unit. Obstructions can prevent detection.
  • Check if the unit is properly aligned and secured to the barrel.
• Tracer Effect is Weak or Inconsistent:
  • Ensure you are using high-quality tracer BBs. Standard BBs will not glow.
  • Check the battery level; a low battery can affect light output.
  • Clean the internal light emitters and sensors as described in the Maintenance section.
• Unit Wobbles on Barrel:
  • Retighten the unit onto the barrel or adapter.
  • Adjust the alignment screw using the provided Allen key to secure the fit.
  • Ensure the correct adapter (11mm CW to 14mm CCW) is used if applicable.
• Charging Issues:
  • Try a different USB-C cable and power source to rule out faulty accessories.
  • Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.
