Selection of Counterfeit Detection Options

The suspicious banknote is the top banknote in the banknote stacker. Counting can be resumed by pressing the RESET button.

1. Infra-Red function
   Press the CF button, when the IR symbol on display is light ON, which means this function is active. The counter will check the infra-red ink feature of the counted banknotes.

2. Ultra-Violet function
   Press the CF button, when the UV symbol on display is light ON, which means this function is active. The counter will check the ultra-violet feature of the counted banknotes.

3. Magnetism function
   Press the CF button, when the MG symbol on display is light on, which means this function is active. The counter will check the magnetic ink of the counted banknotes.

4. Banknote Width Detection
   The machine will stop and beep if it encounters a shorter banknote in the batch of same-size banknotes, and the “EE4” code will be displayed. The suspicious banknote is the top banknote in the banknote stacker.

Feeder Adjustment

The adjusting screw of the feeder aperture on the back cover has already been set at the factory. You may need to adjust the feeder aperture if the following problems occur during counting:

• Frequent jams or banknotes pass the feeder with difficulty – turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise to make the aperture wider.
• Frequent “EE5” or “EEA” error messages turn the adjusting screw clockwise to make the aperture smaller.

The adjusting screw is very sensitive, move only one notch at a time!

Note! When “EE7” code is displayed, the banknotes have not been placed in the hopper properly. Please redo it.

Parts Replacement

1. The resistance piece needs to be replaced when worn. Pull out the banknote feeder, press the banknote sliding board down, and replace the worn resistance piece.
2. In case the machine doesn’t turn on, check the fuse. The fuse cover is located under the power cable socket.

Maintenance

1. If operated at a temperature below 68℉(20℃), please allow three minutes for warm-up.

3. Do not apply oil to machines’ rubber parts, as it may cause malfunction.
4. Clean all sensors and magnetic heads with a brush at least once a week.
