RECOMMENDATIONS
Settings
The Yakuza series ship with default settings which are tuned for a wide range of trigger adjustments and general
usage. Certain tournament series allow alternate fire modes with specific characteristics, so the following is a list of
settings that will give you a baseline. Ultimately, every marker is unique and may require different settings for
optimal performance.
NPPL: 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 2007 this was 15 bps). Make sure debounce is near default values.
NXL: Use the NXL full-automatic or PSP fire modes. See PSP for maximum rate of fire recommendations.
Millennium: For 2008 the Millennium series modified their rules slightly. It is now a 12 bps cap with a 6 pulls per
second activation, and requires the 1-2-3 semi-auto shots like PSP mode before ramping can begin.
Use the specific Millennium mode. The ramp start will automatically be set to 6 pulls per second as required by the
Millennium series unless a higher value is selected. Maximum rate of fire must be manually set to 12 bps.
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 such as
broken paint or rain. Under normal conditions the board should continue to operate, even 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 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.
