PURPOSE

The PS Nexus laser simulator is for use in instructional courses, training or competition in modern pentathlon. It is designed to shoot a laser beam activated by a trigger.
The PS Nexus laser simulator is used like an FLP20-e laser module emitter with a 15.6 ms code. This code is completely compatible with the standards of the International Modern Pentathlon Union (UIPM).

Preparing the laser simulator for use

TURNING THE SIMULATOR ON

Attach the chip (8) to the simulator body and move it from right to left. This will switch simulator ON and the LED (9) will fl ash. The number of flashes indicates the battery status:

  • 5 fl ashes – the battery is 100% full
  • 4 fl ashes – the battery is at 75% charge level
  • 3 fl ashes – the battery is at 50% charge level
  • 2 fl ashes – the battery is at 25% charge level
  • 1 fl ash – the battery is discharged, replace it

ATTENTION – for models with serial numbers PSNX-0434 and higher, the laser simulator activates after inserting the battery and is immediately ready for use, therefore it does not need a magnet to turn on. Whenever between shots or when not in use, the simulator is in standby mode and, unless the battery is removed, the simulator is always ready for use. This means that it does not even switch off visually.

TURNING THE SIMULATOR OFF

The laser module shuts off about 30 minutes after the last light shot. If you need to turn it off right away, remove the battery from the simulator body.

LASER DOT ALIGNMENT

To adjust the sights of the simulator, aim at a white wall or white object 10 metres away and check the alignment of the red laser dots and sights. If necessary, use the adjustment screws to align the laser dots:

  • Turning screw (10a) clockwise
  • Turning screw (10a) counter-clockwise
  • Turning screw (10b) clockwise
  • Turning screw (10b) counter-clockwise
  • moves the laser dot to the left
  • moves the laser dot to the right
  • moves the laser dot up
  • moves the laser dot down

TRIGGER POSITION SETTING

After loosening the screw (14), you can move the trigger position forward or back.

GRIP ADJUSTMENT

Use the included hex wrench to loosen the small screw at the bottom (11) of the simulator grip.

PURPOSE

The FLP EVO laser simulator is designed for use at instructional courses, trainings or modern pentathlon competitions. It is intended for laser beam shooting initiated by a trigger.

The FLP EVO laser simulator employs the FLP20 laser module with a 15.6 ms code as an emitter. The code is fully compatible with the International Modern Pentathlon Union (UIPM) standards.

Preparing the laser simulator for use

SWITCHING ON

Attach the chip (8) to the simulator body and move it from right to left. This will switch simulator ON and the LED (9) will fl ash. The number of fl ashes indicates the battery status:

  • 5 flashes – the battery is 100% full
  • 4 flashes – the battery is at 75% charge level
  • 3 flashes – the battery is at 50% charge level
  • 2 flashes – the battery is at 25% charge level
  • 1 flash – the battery is discharged, replace it.

After the battery test, the LED light remains constantly blue to indicate the laser is on and ready for use.

The LED fl ashing continuously blue means the battery is discharged and it should be immediately replaced.

SWITCHING OFF

The laser container will switch off approximately 20 minutes after the last shot. In case you need to switch it off immediately, remove the battery from the simulator body.

SETTING THE LASER DOT POSITION

To adjust the simulator sights, aim at a white wall or a white object from a distance of 10 meters and check the alignment of the red laser dot and simulator sights. If necessary, use the adjusting screws to align the laser dot:

  • Turning the screw (10a) clockwise
  • Turning the screw (10a) counterclockwise
  • Turning the screw (10b) clockwise
  • Turning the screw (10b) counterclockwise
  • laser dot moves to the right
  • laser dot moves to the left
  • laser dot goes upward
  • laser dot goes downward

IMPORTANT: The movement of the adjusting screws must be very small.

SETTING THE TRIGGER POSITION

After loosening the screw (A) you can change the position of the trigger forward or backward.

SETTING THE SEAR ENGAGEMENT AND TRAVEL

Sear engagement setting
Thesear engagement is already exactly adjusted by the manufacturer and it is not recommended to change it. In case you still need to change its setting, carry out the following:

  • Turn the screw (11) counterclockwise by one turn.
  • Load the simulator by means of the lever.
  • Turn the screw (11) very slowly clockwise untill simulator shoots by itself.
  • Turn the screw (11) counterclockwise by one 1/4 turn.

By this, the sear engagement is set. Check the correct function by few shots.

First stage travel

Turning the screw (14) clockwise reduce the fi rst stage travel. Turning the screw
counterclockwise (14) increases the fi rst stage travel.

SETTING THE GRIP ANGLE

Use the supplied hexagonal key to loosen the small screw on the simulator grip bottom. Set a new position of the grip and fi x it by tightening the small screw.

BATERRY REPLACEMENT

When the LED indicator fl ashes once or is constantly fl ashing, replace the battery.

  • Remove the screw located on the front part of the battery cover and then slide it out.
  • Remove the discharged battery using the ribbon (C) and insert a new one (AAA 1,5V). Pay attention to the correct polarity of battery!
  • Reinstall the cover (A).

UPDATE FUNCTION

Only the manufacturer has access to the laser simulator software.
