Settings
The Yakuza series ship with default settings which are tuned for a wide range of trigger adjustments and general
usage. Obviously certain tournament series allow alternate fire modes with specific characteristics. The following
is a list of settings which will give you a baseline. Ultimately, every marker is unique, and may require different
settings for optimal performance.
Semi-only tournaments: Use the default settings, possibly only changing debounce, AMB, and CPF to suit your
personal trigger adjustments.
PSP: Use the PSP ramping or PSP burst fire modes, with maximum rate of fire set to the required cap for the league
(for 2009 this should be either 10.5 or 12.5 bps, depending on your division). Make sure debounce is near default
values. The PSP/Millennium semi shots setting should be at 3, and the PSP/Millennium reset time should be
1000ms or less.
Millennium: Use the Millennium ramping fire mode, with maximum rate of fire set to the required cap for the
league (for 2009, this should be similar to the PSP). The PSP/Millennium semi shots setting should be at 3, and the
PSP/Millennium reset time should be 1000ms or less.
Many European tournaments besides the Millennium series utilize semi-automatic, but capped at 15 bps. Select the
capped semi-automatic fire mode for these events.
Care and cleaning
Your Yakuza series board includes a conformal coating to help protect against damage caused by moisture from
things such as broken paint or rain. Under normal conditions, the board should continue to operate fine with small
amounts of moisture present. However, paint is slightly corrosive and can destroy the conformal coating over time.
In the event that you get broken paint or water on the electronics, unplug the battery, and then use rubbing alcohol
and a blast of compressed air to clean the board off. The compressed air will ensure that everything is cleaned out
from beneath the components and connectors.
Batteries
Tadao Technologies recommends the use of quality alkaline batteries such as those made by Duracell and Energizer.
Photo lithium 9 volt batteries are also adequate. Batteries labeled as “heavy duty” or “super heavy duty” are not true
alkaline, and will cause inconsistent operation, or may not properly power the electronics. Rechargeable batteries
are also not recommended because they typically do not provide enough current.
Trigger adjustment and switch life
The trigger switch used on the Yakuza series boards is a high quality tactile lever switch made by Omron. It has a
life expectancy of several million actuations. The life of a trigger switch on a paintball marker can be substantially
shortened by using too short of a trigger pull. It is imperative that there is at least a tiny amount of travel before and
after the actuation point. It is also extremely important that some kind of trigger return force is used, such as a
spring or magnet. Excessive bounce may occur if a spring or magnet is not used, or the actuation point is too close
to the beginning or end of the trigger pull.
