This is the older of two stock Shocker Sport boards, used primarily between 1998 to early 2000.
Note: This is only a guide for HOW to adjust the board. Information regarding WHAT to set adjustments at can be found on the Setting Electronics and Pressure mainpage.
Board Operation:
To activate the board, you have to physically connect the battery using the battery connector under the grip panels. The board will be on as long as the battery is plugged in (meaning, there's no actual powerswitch like most other guns). A powerswitch can be retrofitted with some drilling and soldering, otherwise you'll have to live with the "disconnect" method.
The board is ready to fire as soon as it receives power.
There are four types of DS boards:
DS 4x4 board: stock board, equipped with only semiauto mode.
DS Turbo board: These boards appear the same as a regular 4x4 board, but they're also equipped with a special Turbo mode that will ramp the fire rate to the marker's max speed.
DS S/F board: These boards have a firing mode switch sticking out the front, which is used to toggle three firing modes: three-shot burst, semiauto, fullyautomatic. Most of these boards also have Turbo mode (see below) but not all.
DS Turbo S/F board: These boards appear the same as S/F boards, but they are also equipped with Turbo mode. If the Turbo mode switch is active, setting the S/F switch to "semiauto" will allow the marker to fire in Turbo mode instead of regular semiauto.
Note that the three-shot and fullyautomatic modes will both fire at 10-bps. Semiauto (and Turbo mode where applicable) are able to fire at the Shocker's max speed.
The two switchbanks are used to set the firing times used in the board's program. The switchbank on the left is the distribution ratio switchbank, which is used to control the max firing speed of the marker in balls-per-second. The right switchbank controls the firing and reloading solenoids and is naturally called the fire/bolt switchbank. The DIP switches will speed up or slow down the respective firing setting depending on which switches are active.
Switch number 4 in the distribution ratio switchbank controls Turbo mode. If your board is equipped with Turbo mode, turning this switch on will activate Turbo mode. Turning the switch off will set the marker to semiauto. If your board doesn't have Turbo mode, you can just ignore this switch, since the marker will fire the same regardless of its setting.

Fire/Bolt Settings:
Adjustment of the DS board is accomplished using the two DIP switchbanks located on the surface of the board. Each switchbank has a compliment of four DIP switches (they are numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4). Each switchbank is also labeled with an on marking to the right, which signifies the switch being active. The left position is therefore the off position.
The left switchbank is called the distribution ratio bank, and it controls the Shocker's maximum firing speed limit. Use the following table to select your desired max speed.
If you want the Shocker to fire it's fastest speed, turn all three of the DIP switches to the off position.
Switch 4 isn't used since it controls Turbo mode on DS Turbo boards. If you don't have Turbo mode, just ignore switch 4.

Switch 2
Switch 3
The right switchbank is used to control the length of the firing pulses sent to the solenoids. This in turn controls how long the fire piston is open (fire), and how long the bolt is open (bolt). Switches 1 and 2 are used for the fire solenoid, whereas switches 3 and 4 are used for the bolt solenoid. Both DIP switches in the on position will create the shortest solenoid time, whereas both switches in the off position will create the longest solenoid time. For example, if the fire solenoid is set to the longest solenoid time, the fire piston will be open for longer than the shortest time. Using the same example, the bolt would remain open for longer than it would if using the shortest solenoid time.
If adjusting the fire solenoid, the top-bottom switches used are switches 1-2. If adjusting the bolt solenoid then 3-4.
