SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always be careful when using the machine. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or other injuries, keep these safety considerations in mind when installing, using, and maintaining your machine:

WARNING

1. Place the machine on a secure, stable surface. The machine can be seriously damaged if it falls.
2. Provide the correct power to the machine, as listed on the back of the machine.
3. If the plug has three prongs, it must be plugged into a grounded (three-hole) outlet. Grounded plugs and outlets are designed for your safety. Do not try to make a three-prong plug fit into a two-prong outlet by modifying the plug or outlet in any way.
4. Do not plug too many electrical devices into a wall outlet or into an extension cord.
5. Before dusting the machine, unplug it from the power outlet. Clean exposed parts with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. Do not use aerosol cleaners.
6. Never use any machine close to a gas leak. If you think gas is leaking, call your gas company immediately. A small electrical spark in the machine could cause a fire or an explosion.

CAUTION

1. Never push objects of any kind into your machine through the case or cabinet openings.
2. Do not use your machine near water, in wet locations, or outdoors.
3. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.
4. Do not place your machine where the cords can be damaged.
5. Use supplies or cleaning materials only as directed. Keep all supplies and materials out of reach of children.
6. The power supply turns this machine on and off. Make sure that your machine is installed near an outlet and is easily accessible.
7. Never remove covers or guards that require a tool for removal. Refer servicing to authorized service personnel.
8. Never alter the interlock switches. This machine is designed to restrict the operator’s access to unsafe areas. Covers, guards, and interlock switches are provided to ensure that the machine will not operate when the covers are open.
9. Avoid direct viewing of the image sensor lights. The lamps are bright and, while not harmful, may cause an annoying afterimage. Always keep the rear cover closed during operation and storage.

PRODUCT OPERATION

PLACING BILLS INTO HOPPER

• It is very important to place the bills into the hopper correctly because the recognition performance of the bills is highly affected by the arrangement of the bills. Please avoid counting bills in bad conditions such as wet, excessively dirty, folded, curled notes, or with foreign material like clips, bands, etc., as it may cause a malfunction of the machine.

COUNTING

• If the Add mode is set, the cumulative number will be displayed.
• If an error occurs during operation and the machine stops, then an error message will be displayed. To clear the error, press the “C” key. The machine will solve the problem automatically, however, if it fails to clear a jam or there is some other mechanical error, please remove the jammed bills manually. Then, press the “C” key again to clear the error message.
  • COUNT MODE (By pressing the “MODE” key) The machine can count the bills without any denomination recognition.
  • SORT MODE (By pressing the “MODE” key) The machine can catch the different denomination bill while counting. In this mode, the machine will read the first bill that goes through and sort based on that denomination. Therefore, if a mixed bill is stuck in the pile, the machine will display an error code informing the user of the different denominations.
  • MIX MODE (By pressing the “MODE” key) The machine can read the value counting for mixed notes and the total amount will be displayed on the screen. Under this mode, if you press the “REPORT” key after counting, you can see the breakdown of the denomination as per the picture below. By pressing the “C” key, you can then return to the previous screen.

CHECKING SERIAL NUMBERS

• The machine can record the serial numbers of the bills that are counted. The display will show the denomination and serial number of the bills in order of how they went through the machine. From the Report screen, press the “REPORT” key again to see the serial numbers for the bills.

SELECTING ADD FUNCTION

• The Add function provides a cumulative count for the operator. The machine counts and stops when the stacker is full. After removing those notes from the stacker, you can begin counting again, and the total number will be increased from the previous total.
• The Add function is On or Off by pressing the “ADD” key. You can clear the counted value by pressing the “C” key.

SELECTING BATCH FUNCTION

• The “BATCH” key is used to select a preset batch number. In the batch count mode, the machine stops counting when the counted number reaches the set number, even though bills may remain on the hopper. The user can edit the batch number by pressing the “BATCH” key + 1~9 number keypad.

SELECTING AUTOMATIC/MANUAL COUNTING

The machine is preset to Automatic Mode. In Automatic mode, when the hopper sensor detects banknotes on the hopper, the machine will automatically start to count the bills. To change to manual mode, press the “M/A” key. In Manual mode, the machine will not count the bills automatically even though the bills are on the hopper. When the user presses the “START” key manually, the machine will count the notes. While counting, the machine will display the number of the bills on the TFT display and it may stop working when it meets the conditions described below:

• No bills on the hopper
• The number of the bills counted is the same as the batch number set in Batch mode.
• Errors have occurred.

When the machine finishes counting without errors, the number of counted bills will be displayed on the TFT screen.

MENU

To enter the Menu, select the “SET/OK” key. Use the arrow keys to toggle between up and down.

THERMAL PRINTER (OPTIONAL)

• Available Printers: Compatible via RS232 Printer.

DAILY CARE

• WARNING: Before dusting, turn the power switch off and disconnect the power cord from the machine. It is very important to clean all the sensors in the machine with a soft brush to avoid any paper particles or dust from sticking to the light transmitter or the light-receiver sensors. It is important to clean the inside of the machine occasionally. Unplug the machine and lift the top cover to gain access to the interior.
• If necessary, the glass surfaces of the detectors may also be wiped with a soft cloth damped with alcohol.
• To get the best results out of your bill counter, Royal Sovereign recommends using Royal Sovereign Cleaning Cards (RBC-CLN) to remove dirt, dust, oils, and other contaminants from your bill counter. With the machine on, simply run the cleaning card through the machine like a bill. This cleaning card will run through and clean the sensors of dirt and other contaminants. Cleaning cards are recommended to be used after every 100 cycles.
• CAUTION: DO NOT CHANGE THE POSITION OF THE DETECTORS AND/OR OPTICAL SENSORS.
