Safety Instructions

WARNING!

• Risk of suffocation through small parts, packaging, and protective foils!
• Keep the product and packaging out of reach of children!

CAUTION!

• Risk through infeed rollers!
• Keep fingers, hair, etc. away from the infeed.
• Risk of tripping through improperly laid cable!
• Lay the cables so that nobody can trip over them.

ATTENTION!

Risk of property damage!

• Ensure no foreign bodies, such as paper clips, rubber bands, etc. get into the infeed.
• Prevent exposing the device to environmental influences such as smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat, or direct sunlight.
• Repairs may only be carried out by properly trained specialists.

Intended Use

• The banknote counter with verification functions, subsequently referred to as a banknote counter, serves to count bank notes. Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorized modification or reconstruction is not permitted.
• Under no circumstances open the banknote counter or complete any repair work yourself.
• This device checks two of the features of the bank notes (ultraviolet feature and magnetic feature) to ensure they are not counterfeit. If other features of the notes have been falsified or are missing, this banknote counter cannot detect the bank notes as being critical. In the same way, an authentic banknote can be detected as being faulty due to soiling or some other external influence. Therefore, test bank notes detected as being faulty several times and, in the case of doubt, consult your bank institution.

37 External display

Switching the Bank Note Counter On/Off

The bank note counter is switched on and off using a switch [8] on the rear of the machine. After switching the bank note counter on, it completes a self- diagnosis. During the self-diagnosis, 8888 and 88888 appear in the displays [24, 30]. When the selfdiagnosis has finished without any errors, X0 appears in the displays [24, 30].If an error is detected, it is indicated in the top display [24] (refer to Clearing Errors).

Before inserting the bank notes, select the sensors which should be active to test the respective feature (UV, MG, MT, IR).

• Press the CF button [13].
• The bank note counter switches to the selection mode for features to be tested, as described below. When this mode is active, the digit keys cannot be used to enter numbers.
• Press the CF button [13] again to end the selection of features for testing and switch back to digit entry.

Detecting UV Features on Bank Notes:

• Press the UV button [15].
• The ultraviolet sensor for detecting UV features is activated/deactivated. UV [36] appears in the display.

Detecting the Magnetic Features on the Bank Notes:

• Press the MG button [14].
• The magnet sensor used to detect the magnetic features is activated/deactivated. MG [35] appears in the display.

Detecting the Advanced Magnetic Features on the Bank Notes:

• Press the MT button [23].
• The magnet sensor used to detect the advanced magnetic features is activated/deactivated. MT [32] appears in the display.

• The sensor for detecting the width of the bank notes is activated/deactivated. DD [33] appears in the display.

Detecting Double Bank Notes

The infrared sensor should always be active when testing bank notes.

• Press the IR button [16].
• The infrared sensor for detecting double bank notes is activated/deactivated. IR [34] appears in the display.

Preparing Bank Notes

• The best results are achieved after a warm-up phase of 3 minutes.

• Bright ambient light can affect the sensor and falsify results.

• Pay attention to the following points to prevent malfunctions.

• Check the batch of bank notes for paper clippings, paper clips, rubber bands and other foreign bodies and remove them before inserting the bundle in the machine (Figure A).

• Do not insert any damaged bank notes (Figure B).

• Smoothen any creased and folded bank notes before inserting them (Figure C/D).

• Do not insert any bank notes which are stuck together in the bank note counter.

• Fan out the bank notes to separate them prior to insertion.

Inserting Bank Notes

The bank note counter is a front loading device in which the bank notes are loaded from the front.

• Insert the batch of bank notes on the infeed tray [3].
• The bottom note in the batch of bank notes is drawn into the bank note counter.
• Complete the count to detect critical bank notes. The verification features are tested on both sides of each bank note in one process.

Automatic/Manual Infeed

Automatic Infeed:

• Press the M/A button [22].
• Automatic infeed of the bank notes is activated.
• AUTO [25] appears in the display.

• Press the M/A button [22] until AUTO [25] disappears from the display.
• Manual infeed of the bank notes is activated.
• Press the RESET button [18] to start counting.

Functions

Select the required function.

Counting

This function counts the number of bank notes and, depending on the sensor setting, their validity. During the counting process, the quantity of bank notes appears in the top display [24]. If the bank notes counted are left in the output tray [6], counting resumes from the last number. If the bank notes counted are removed from the output tray [6] and a new batch of bank notes is placed in the infeed tray [3], counting begins from X0. The previous count for the bank notes appears in the bottom display [30].

• Press the COUNT button [17].
• The bank notes are counted without any verification tests (UV, MG, MT, IR) and discharged in the output tray [6].

Adding

When this function is activated, counting is continued even if the bank notes counted are removed from the output tray [6] and a new bundle of bank notes is laid in the infeed tray [3].

This function is particularly useful in the case of large batches of bank notes and for heavily used and creased bank notes. Smaller batches of bank notes can then be counted in succession. The bank note counter continues with the count of the bank notes.

• Press the ADD button [19].
•  The Add function is activated/deactivated.
• ADD [28] appears in the display.

Batch

This function causes counting to stop when a preset quantity of bank notes has been counted. If the batch of bank notes counted is removed from output tray [6], the top display [24] skips back to X0 and the next batch of bank notes is counted.

• Press the BATCH/C button [21].
• BAT [27] appears in the display. The preset number 100 appears in the bottom display [30].
• Use the digit buttons to enter the quantity you want counted.
• The number is freely selectable between 1 and 999.
• The number entered appears in the bottom display [30]. The bank note counter is ready for the batch function.
• Insert the batch of bank notes on the infeed tray [3].
• The number of bank notes counted appears in the top display [24].
• If the bank notes in the infeed tray [3] run out before the number defined is reached, the top display [24] indicates the number counted up to now.
• When more bank notes are then inserted in the infeed tray [3], the process is resumed until the preset number is reached.
• Press the BATCH/C button [21] to deactivate the function.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Sensors

Bank notes are often soiled, particularly by dust. The dirt deposits on the sensors during the counting process. Soiled sensors are the most frequent cause of malfunctions.

• Switch the bank note counter off using the switch [8].
• Disconnect the power cable from the mains power socket.
• Pivot the top housing cover upwards.

Clean areas which cannot be accessed using compressed air, if necessary. Compressed air can be obtained in small aerosol cans.

• Clean the sensors with the brush supplied.
• Pivot the top cover back down.

Adjusting the Pressure of the Infeed Rollers

The bank note counter is set-up at the factory to draw the bank notes in properly. If the bank notes are no longer drawn in properly or the EE5 alarm indicator appears in the display [2], you must change the pressure applied by the infeed rollers.

• The adjusting screw [9] to alter the pressure exerted by the infeed rollers is located at the rear.

• Turning the adjusting screw [9] counterclockwise reduces the pressure applied by the infeed rollers.

• Turning the adjusting screw [9] clockwise increases the pressure applied by the infeed rollers.

• Switch the bank note counter off using the switch [8].

• Disconnect the power cable from the mains power socket.

• Adjust the pressure of the infeed rollers with the adjusting screw [9] so that the bank notes can slide under the infeed rollers with a little force.

Clearing Errors

Error Indicators

Errors are indicated in the top display line [24] by means of code numbers. At the same time, the display [2] is switched to a red background.
