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.

  • Page 18 Printmaster-Digi60 17/04/14 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.
  • Page 19 Printmaster-Digi60 17/04/14 Digi-60 Low Air Pressure Warning (optional) The printer will not operate without a compressed air supply. An air pressure sensor switch (optional, not supplied) may be fitted to provide a low air fault condition to the Digi-60 controller and operate the fault relay.
