DM4 BOARD

- Settings and Functions.

DM4 BOARD

- Settings and Functions (continued).

When servicing your marker:
• Make sure a barrel sock is fitted 

to the DM4.

•  Make sure your hopper is removed 

from the DM4.

•  Make sure there are no paintballs in the 

breech of the DM4.

•  Always remove the first stage regulator and 

relieve all residual gas pressure from the 
DM4 before disassembly.

•  The DM4 can hold a small residual charge 

of gas, typically 2 shots, with the first stage 
regulator removed. Always discharge the 
marker in a safe direction to relieve this 
residual gas pressure.

• The DM4 is not water resistant. 

Excess moisture can cause damage 
to electronic parts.

• Keep the board and all electrical 

components clean of dirt, paint, 
and moisture.

• To clean the board use canned air. If a 

more aggressive cleaning method is needed 
lightly scrub the components with a soft, 
dry brush. Heavy scrubbing will damage 
the board.

TURNING THE DM4 ON AND OFF

To turn on the DM4 press and hold the power button       

(see figure 1)

until the LED light turns blue. The blue light indicates

board bootup. After the bootup sequence, the LED will turn either RED (no ball) or GREEN (ball ready to fire). To turn the DM4
off press and hold the power button until the LED turns off. 

NOTE: The DM4 automatically switches off after 10 minutes of non-use.

FIRING THE DM4

As soon as the marker is turned on and the LED turns from blue to either red or green, the DM4 is ready to fire. If there is no
ball and the LED is RED, you need to hold the trigger for 1 second to force the DM4 to fire once. If there is paint inside the
breech and the LED is green, just press the trigger to fire the marker.

LED LIGHT INDICATOR

There is a super high intensity LED light mounted on the board behind the DM4 logo on the left side of the grip panels. This
light provides information to the user by the DM4. There are three colors on the LED light. Red, green and blue. 

When you turn on the marker in normal operation mode with the power button, the light colors mean the following:

Blue Bootup 

sequence.

Red 

No ball detected inside the DM4 (eye on)

Green

Ball detected inside the DM4 (eye on)

Blinking Red

Eye function turned off, The DM4 will fire even though there is no ball inside the breech.

Blinking Green 

Eye blocked. This means that your eyes are either dirty or there is a bad connection. 
The ROF (rate of fire) is automatically reduced to prevent chopping. 
If this happens during game play, you can turn the eye off to increase your ROF.

NOTE: The eye is always activated when you turn the marker on.

BOARD SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION MODE

There are five settings you can alter on the DM4 board with the DIP switches inside the grip frame 

(see figure 1)

:

ABS

Anti Bolt Stick.

Eye sensitivity

This setting changes how long the eye waits for the ball to set into the breech.

Trigger sensitivity

This setting adjusts the delay between two trigger pulls.

Dwell

This is the time the solenoid is activated for. 

ROF

Rate Of Fire when the eye is deactivated.

Anti Bolt Stick -

When ABS is activated, the dwell is increased after 15 seconds of non-use for the next shot fired.
This helps to prevent bolt-stick, but may result in higher velocity for the first shot. 

ABS on

ABS off

(default)

Eye Sensitivity -

The eye sensitivity setting determines the time that is needed to allow the next ball to settle 
into the breech. Too sensitive an eye setting may result in chopping and too high a setting limits 
the maximum ROF that can be achieved. Optimal sensitivity setting varies between different 
paintball brands and the loader used. There are 4 different settings available. These settings can 
be achieved using DIP switches 2 and 3.

FASTEST

AVERAGE

SLOWEST

Setting 1

Setting 2 (default)

Setting 3

Setting 4

DIP 2 - off

DIP 2 - off

DIP 2 - on

DIP 2 - on

DIP 3 - off

DIP 3 - on

DIP 3 - off

DIP 3 - on

The most sensitive and fastest setting is 1; this should only be used with force feed loaders such as a HALO™. 
The middle two settings are good for other agitated loaders. Setting 4 is for slower loaders.
