maximum rates of fire from 10.50bps to unlimited rates of fire!

• Virtue Trigger Logic constantly monitors the

trigger to ensure every trigger pull is recognized, giving you the fastest responding gun, and highest possible rates of fire.

• Adjustable Debounce, Dwell, Anti-

Mechanical Bounce (AMB), Eye Sensitivity, Ramp Activation Speed, Ramp Percentage, Anti-Bolt Stick (ABS).

• Power Efficient Software extends the life of

your battery.

• All settings are stored in non-volatile memory

so they will not be lost when the battery dies or is removed.

• 10 minute idle auto-shutdown saves battery

life.

• Low battery indicator software.

• Forced Shot allows the marker to be fired

when the eyes are enabled, but no object is in the breech.

• Instant On allows the marker to be fired

instantly upon turn on.

• Tournament Lock/Unlock allows the marker

to be programmed through the trigger without having to constantly open the grip. With the tournament lock enabled, settings cannot be changed without opening up the grip.

Installing Your Virtue DM6 Board:

1. Open up the grip from the right side of the marker

to expose the circuit board.

2. Remove the two screws holding the stock circuit

board into place, and carefully disconnect the two wire harnesses and the battery.

3. Remove the Stock Board from the Grip Frame,

taking care to leave the two metal push buttons in place.

4. Connect the wires you removed in step 2 to the

Virtue DM6 Board, and then screw the Virtue DM6 Board into place.

5. Reconnect the battery, close the grips, and you’re

done!

Setting the Dipswitches:

On the DM6 circuit board, above the two push buttons, there is a 2 position dipswitch.

Dipswitch 1 is the Max Rate of Fire/15bps Cap lock. If Dipswitch 1 is in the on position, your max rate of fire is set to your “Max Rate of Fire” setting (Flickering Red LED in programming mode.) If dipswitch 1 is in the off position, the Max Rate of Fire of all modes is capped at 15bps. After changing this setting, you must turn the marker off before it takes effect.

*Please note the actual bps will vary slightly from gun to gun. If the desired bps is too high or too low with dipswitch 1 down, then leave Dipswitch 1 in the up position, and adjust the max rate of fire setting through the programming menu.

Dipswitch 2 is the Tournament Lock. To access the programming mode of the Virtue DM6 Board, Dipswitch 2 must be in the on position. Then hold down the trigger and turn the marker on to enter programming mode. When Dipswitch 2 is in the off position, the gun is in “Tournament Lock”, and program settings cannot be changed.

LED Indicator:

Solid Yellow (During startup) Indicates a low battery Solid Blue Ball in Breach; Gun is ready to fire Solid Red No Ball in Breach Flashing Red Eyes disabled Flashing Blue Eye malfunction

Power Operation:

The Virtue DM6 Board uses Instant On technology. Simply tap the power button, and the marker instantly turns on and is ready to fire. To turn the marker off at any time, press the power button for 1 second.

Eye Operation:

When the marker is turned on the eye system is automatically enabled. The eyes can be toggled on and off by pressing the eye button (bottom button) for 1 second. When the eyes are disabled the max rate of fire will not go over 24bps.

The eye logic also differentiates between a ball being fired, and something continually blocking the eye (like broken paint, or your finger). If the eye becomes blocked, the LED will flash blue, indicating an eye malfunction. When the object blocking the eyes is removed the eye will automatically return to working mode (solid red or blue LED).

Low Battery Indicator:

If your battery is low, the LED will be yellow for 1 second when you turn the marker on

Programming Mode:

To access the programming mode of the Virtue DM6 Board, Dipswitch 2 must be in the on position. When Dipswitch 2 is in the off position, the gun is in “Tournament Lock”, and program settings cannot be changed.

With Dipswitch 2 in the on position, hold the trigger and turn the marker on. The LED will then cycle through a rainbow of colors and stop on purple, indicating that you are now in programming mode.

Tapping the trigger will then toggle through the different programming modes:

Purple: Firing Mode Green: Debounce Blue: Ramp Activation Speed White: Ramp Percentage Red: Dwell Teal: Eye Sensitivity Yellow: AMB Flickering Green ABS (Anti-Bolt Stick) Flickering Red: Max Rate of Fire

(Anti-Mechanical Bounce)

To Change the Value of a Setting:

When the LED is lit for the desired setting, pull and hold the trigger until the LED Begins to flash. The LED will flash the number of times the current value is set to. When the LED stops flashing you then have 2 seconds to enter in the new value by tapping the trigger the amount of times you want the new value to be set to. After you have set the new value, the LED will flash back at you the number of times you have just entered, and then flash through the rainbow of colors, returning to the color you have just adjusted, indicating that the new value has been set. To exit programming mode, shut the marker off.

Programming Example:

If you want to change the debounce to 2 you would:

1. With the marker off, and Dipswitch 2 in the

on position, hold the trigger and turn the marker on.

2. The LED will now cycle through a rainbow of

colors and stop on purple.

3. Tap the trigger once so the LED glows green.

4. Pull and hold the trigger until the LED starts

to flash (factory default for debounce is 5, so the LED will flash 5 times).

5. When the LED stops flashing, quickly tap the

trigger 2 times.

6. The LED will now flash 2 times, and then

flash through the rainbow of colors, and stop on green, indicating the new value has been set.

7. To exit programming mode, shut the marker

off.

Reset to Factory Default:

To return all settings to the factory defaults, while in programming mode, hold the trigger down for 10 seconds until the LED turns white. Once the LED turns white, the LED will then flash through the rainbow of colors indicating that all settings have been returned to the factory default.

Adjustable Settings:

Firing Mode (Purple) Values 1-7 (Default is 1)

1 Semi Auto- Semi Automatic Fire; 1 trigger

pull equals 1 shot.

2 PSP Ramp Mode- The first 3 shots of a

string are Semi Auto. After the 4 shot the marker will ramp to the rate of fire your “Max Rate of Fire” is set to. Once the trigger is let go and 1 second elapses, the 3 shot Semi Auto count restarts.

3 NXL Style Full Auto- The first 3 shots of a

string are Semi Auto. On the 4th shot you can then hold down the trigger, and the marker will shoot full auto at your Max Rate of Fire.

4 Ramp Mode- When you reach the “Ramp

Activation Speed” the Marker will ramp the rate of fire by your “Ramp Percentage” setting, up to your Max Rate of Fire. Factory default is when your trigger speed reaches 5bps, the marker will ramp up to t h e maximum speed that your loader can feed.

5 Auto Response- 1 shot on the pull of the

trigger; 1 shot on the release. This setting will make you shoot twice as fast as you can pull the trigger.

6 Full Auto- Hold down the trigger, and the

marker will fire at your max rate of fire, or as fast as your loader can feed.

7 Breakout Mode- In this mode, when you

turn the gun on, the first shot will shoot full auto for as long as you hold down the trigger. Once you release the trigger the gun goes into “Ramp Mode”. If you turn your marker off and back on when in this mode, the Breakout function will repeat.

Debounce (Green) Values 1-30 (Default is 5)

Debounce is the amount of time that the trigger has to be released before the next trigger pull is allowed. Virtue software incorporates our own Virtue debounce algorithm, which ensures every trigger pull is recognized. This results in giving the user the highest rates of fire possible. The values range from 1-50 with the default set to 5.

Ramp Activation Speed (Blue) Values 5-15 (Default is 5)

The ramp activation speed setting only affects Firing modes 4 and 7 (Ramp and Breakout Mode). The default setting is 5, which means when the user reaches triggers speeds of 5bps, ramping will activate, and add the percentage set in the “Ramp Percentage” setting. The values of this setting are equivalent to balls per second. For example, 5 = 5bps; 10 = 10bps, etc.

Ramp Percentage (White) Values 1- 21 (Default 1)

The ramp percentage setting only affects Firing modes 4 and 7 (Ramp and Breakout Mode). The default setting is 1, which “Maxes Your Loader” as soon as the Ramp Activation Speed is reached.

Value Percentage Value Percentage Value Percentage

Dwell (Red) Values 5-30 (Default is 18)

Dwell is the amount of time that the solenoid will be activated. The default is 18 milliseconds (ms), and the values range from 5 – 30 ms. Too low of a dwell setting will lead to inconsistent velocities and drop off. Too high of a dwell will result in poor air efficiency.

Eye Sensitivity (Teal) Values 1-50 (Default is 5)

The Eye Sensitivity setting adds a small delay after the eye has seen a ball before it allows the marker to shoot. Players using non-force fed loaders may need to raise this setting to prevent chopping. The default setting is 5, with 1 being the fastest (No delay).

8 40% 15 75%

AMB (Yellow) Values 1-10 (Default is 3)

The Anti-Mechanical Bounce (AMB) feature allows the user to adjust for mechanical bounce. Mechanical bounce happens when the “kick” from having a shot fired causes the marker to shoot additional shots after the trigger has been pulled. The default setting is 3, which is a low AMB. This setting ranges from 1-10 with 1 being AMB off.

ABS (Flickering Green) Values 1 –20 (Default is 10)

The Anti-Bolt Stick (ABS) setting is the amount of dwell time added for an ABS shot. This additional milliseconds of dwell, with the default set to 10.

setting ranges from 1 – 20

Max Rate of Fire (Flickering Red) Values 1-25 (Default 1)

The max rate of fire setting applies to all modes of fire. If Dipswitch 1 is in the on position, the max rate of fire is determined by this setting. If Dipswitch 1 is in the off position, the rate of fire is capped at 15bps for all modes of fire. The max rate of fire is adjustable from 10.5bps to unlimited rates of fire. The default setting is 1, which is an unlimited rate of fire.
