Introduction

The DiGiT was designed and built as light as possible, while still maintaining great strength and durability. This
attachment will clamp into any rear clamp manual press. The print head must be able to support a minimum of 25 lbs for
the 8” attachment and 30 lbs for the 12” attachment. It must also be strong enough to hold the screen level when slid to
the end printing positions. Additional springs or shocks may be required for your press to hold this attachment. Vastex is
not responsible for damages incurred while trying to retrofit our DiGiT to your press. A Vastex V-2000 press only
needs a double gas spring instead of the standard single gas spring to hold up the DiGiT. V-1000 owners must upgrade
to (optional) HD head.
There are different Site and Detent Rails for all sizes of numbers. The same Site and Detent rails are used for
either screen of the same height numbers. Detent Rails are marked at the factory with the number height. The Site Rails
are labeled from the factory as shown on page 3 of this manual.

clamp. Be sure it is centered, then tighten the
rear clamps.

4) Install lift springs to support the extra weight.

V-2000 owners: Install included double gas
spring as shown below.

5) Install second assembly and verify there is no
inter-ference between the two assemblies.

6) Set the off contact to 3/8”

Note

Be sure the Roller Assembly is centered and as far back in
the clamps as possible. Install the Roller Assembly parallel
to the rear clamps.

Detent Rail Installation

The Detent Rail controls the location of the number. Five positions are available for each number. This is a very important step.

1) Loosen the three philips head screws on the Detent Rail. (shown below)
(V2NS-12 has 5 screws to install Detent Rail.

2) Slide the Detent Rail onto the bottom of the Numbering Attachment and
tighten them down well. See photo (bottom right) for visual reference.

Be sure to install the correct Site and Detent Rails to match the
screen you will be using.

Detent Rail

The grooves in the Detent Rail
engage into a Roller Bearing,
locking the screen into position.

Important!

Detent rails must be installed as shown
below. Be sure grooves in rail lock into
the roller bearing!
