SN-V4 Pro - Introduction

Before use, charge the saber fully with the provided cable and charging block, or external charger. Make sure to not supply more than 5V and 1A output to the saber or charge the saber while it's on. If those numbers mean gibberish then don't worry, that's what the charging block is for!

Charge for about 3 hours for but make sure not to leave it completely unattended.

To insert the blade, use the provided hex key to loosen the emitter blade retention screws. Insert the blade and tighten the screws just enough to hold the blade in place with friction.

Be careful not to over-tighten, as this will dent and damage the blade. Light marks on the blade from the set screw is expected.

Features

SN-Pixel V4 comes with a large library of sound fonts (27) already on the SD card but you can add even more just by dragging and dropping it on the SD card. There are at least 10 blade styles and 12 preon effects that can be configured with even more available to be customized via the mobile app!

SN-V4 Pro - More Information

Battery Removal and Insertion

Some sabers may use an external battery charger which require removing the battery to recharge it. You may also want to remove the battery to reseat it in your ECO Saber or charge it externally. Below is a demo showing how to remove the battery from the tight battery holder and re-inserting it back in the core.

Saber with multiple blade retention screws

What if my saber has multiple blade retention screws? Should I tighten them all in?

Good question, here are some diagrams to illustrate which ones you should tighten. The blade retention screws are marked in blue and the contact points acting on the blade are marked in red.


In the middle diagram with all retention screws tightened, the red areas marked in red are the surface area contact points of the blade. Note how it's only really making contact with the 4 retention screws and the opposite ones are counteracting against each other.

Whereas in the 3rd diagram on the right, where only retention screws on the same side are tightened, the blade has much more surface area contact with the inside wall of the hilt itself.

It's preferred to tighten retention screws on the same side, or 90 degrees from each other so the blade has more surface contact which results in it being held in the saber tighter.
