E-Coder-Digi-60 27/06/2016 Air Flow Controls The airflow restrictors are usually attached to the solenoid valve exhaust ports. They work by regulating the speed at which air is exhausted from the air cylinder. Turning the adjusting screws will alter the exhaust airflow and consequently the print ram velocity, it will also affect noise levels.

E-Coder-Digi-60 27/06/2016 DIGI-60 Fault and Print Relay Connections There are two relays for indicating printer system status to external equipment. The relays may be used independently or linked in series to obtain full warning status on a single connection. Each relay has COM, N/C and N/O contacts rated 24V @ 1A maximum Using the N/O contact of each relay gives a positive indication only when the printer is in normal/ ready condition and the control voltage is present.
