Gate Enterprise ASTER SX EXPERT for V2 GB + Quantum Trigger

The ASTER SX EXPERT for V2 gearbox is the natural successor to the ASTER SE, merging years of experience with cutting-edge technology. This unit is fully compatible with popular brushless motors and operates with batteries up to 11.1 V. With a design that generates less heat, the ASTER SX can handle higher loads and work with stronger springs and more demanding configurations. Each unit comes with a free Quantum Trigger, allowing you to easily set the trigger sensitivity from a light touch to full movement.

The improved programming via the trigger allows for settings like automatic Pre-Cocking, trigger sensitivity adjustment, and Active Brake settings in top-class adaptive mode. Calibration is available through trigger and selector movement. The ASTER V2 SX transforms your AEG into future-proof advanced training equipment, while its thicker and sturdier 1 mm PCB makes it one of the most durable ETUs on the market.

Key Features:

• Future-proof compatibility: With USB-Link and Blu-Link, you can update the firmware, connect additional accessories, and check telemetry.
• User-friendly programming: Navigate the menu quickly or at your own pace, using motor vibrations for feedback in case of issues.

What is an ETU?

An Electronic Trigger Unit (ETU) replaces the trigger contacts and cut-off lever, taking control of your replica's firing modes.

1. 2-STAGE TRIGGER

   • Sets two trigger sensitivities: semi/burst and burst/auto.

2. SELECTOR MODES

   • Available selector modes:
     • SAFE: Replica cannot fire.
     • SEMI: One shot per trigger pull.
     • BINARY: One shot on pull and another on release.
     • BURST: Fires a predetermined number of BBs (Full and Interruptible Modes).
     • BURST/AUTO: Extends burst to auto if the trigger is held.
     • AUTO: Continuous fire as long as the trigger is pulled.
     • SEMI RAMPING: Switches to AUTO with rapid pulls.

3. PRE-COCKING

   • Improves trigger responsiveness:
     • AUTO Mode: Automatic spring compression after each shot.
     • MANUAL Mode: Manually set pre-cocking values.

4. MAGAZINE

   • Simulates a lower magazine capacity, enhancing game realism.

5. SERIES SAFETY LIMIT

   • Sets a maximum number of BBs fired in a series to prevent jams.

6. SNIPER DELAY

   • Sets a delay between shots to simulate reload time.

7. ROF CONTROL

   • Controls the rate of fire with various modes (Adaptive, Manual PWM, Manual Delay, Manual Delay + PWM).

8. SMART TRIGGER

   • Quick trigger response with the first shot at 100% ROF, subsequent shots at a programmed value.

9. BATTERY PROTECTION & WARNINGS

   • Protection against over-discharge of batteries and low battery warnings.

10. ACTIVE BRAKE

    • Stops the piston after a shot in SEMI Mode to reduce wear and enhance realism.

11. EQUALIZER

    • Allows firing the next shot without fully releasing the trigger.

12. CYCLE DETECTION

    • Precisely detects the end cycle position using a cam sensor.

13. DIAGNOSTICS

    • Communicates errors and provides descriptions via the GCS app.

14. USER PROFILES

    • Allows switching between 3 different profiles for game preferences.

15. MOSFET

    • Improves ROF and trigger response by bypassing mechanical contacts.

16. BUILT-IN SELF-TEST

    • Quick check to see if the drop-in module is functioning properly.

17. COATING

    • Coating resistant to weather conditions (MIL-V-173C military specification).

18. NOTIFICATION SETTINGS

    • Enables/disables warning vibrations and notifications.

19. FIRMWARE UPDATE

    • Firmware updates via the GCS app for improvements and fixes.
