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.

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.

2-STAGE TRIGGER

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

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.

PRE-COCKING

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

MAGAZINE

• Simulates a lower magazine capacity, enhancing game realism.

SERIES SAFETY LIMIT

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

SNIPER DELAY

• Sets a delay between shots to simulate reload time.

ROF CONTROL

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

SMART TRIGGER

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

BATTERY PROTECTION & WARNINGS

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

ACTIVE BRAKE

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

EQUALIZER

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

CYCLE DETECTION

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

DIAGNOSTICS

• Communicates errors and provides descriptions via the GCS app.

USER PROFILES

• Allows switching between 3 different profiles for game preferences.

MOSFET

• Improves ROF and trigger response by bypassing mechanical contacts.

BUILT-IN SELF-TEST

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

COATING

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

NOTIFICATION SETTINGS

• Enables/disables warning vibrations and notifications.

FIRMWARE UPDATE

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

Warnings for Electronic Control Units – Airsoft Replicas

• Compatible only with specific airsoft replicas. Check compatibility before installation.
• Do not tamper with the circuit or internal components.
• Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel to avoid damage.
• Use only batteries compatible with both the control unit and the replica.
• Do not expose to moisture, heat, or impacts, as this may cause malfunctions or irreparable damage.
• Before installation, disconnect the battery to prevent short circuits.
• If overheating occurs, disconnect immediately and check functionality before reuse.
• Keep out of reach of children.
