Safety Information

WARNING!

• Risk of suffocation through small parts, packaging and protective foil!
• 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 due to improperly laid cable!
• Lay cables so that people cannot 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 appropriately trained specialists.

Intended Use

The bank note counter with validation functions, subsequently referred to as a bank note counter, serves to count bank notes. Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances open the machine 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 device cannot detect the notes as being critical. In the same way, an authentic bank note 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.

Only Use in Suitable Conditions
Prevent exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat and direct sunlight.

Operation

Switching the Bank Note Counter On/Off

• The bank note counter is switched on and off using the switch on the rear of the machine.

• If the machine will not be used for a longer period, disconnect it from the power outlet.

• 24 On

• 25 Off

• 26 Mains power connection

• 27 Connection socket for external display

• After switching the machine on, it performs a self-diagnosis.

• During the self-diagnosis, 8888 or 888888 appears in the display. When the self-diagnosis has finished without any errors, X0 appears in the display.

• If an error is detected, it is indicated in the top display (refer to the Error table) and the background turns red.

Validation Tests

• The best results are achieved after a warm-up phase of 3 minutes.
• Bright ambient light can affect the sensor and falsify results.
• Before inserting the bank notes, select which features (magnetic and/or ultraviolet) you want to test.
• Press the MG button.
• The magnet sensor used to detect the magnetic ink is activated/deactivated. When activated, the sensor is indicated in the display. When activated, the sensor is indicated in the display.
• Press the UV button.
• The ultraviolet sensor for detecting UV light is activated/ deactivated. When activated, the sensor is indicated in the display.

Preparing Bank Notes
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 (A) and remove them before inserting the bundle in the machine.
• Do not insert any damaged bank notes (B).
• Smooth any creased and folded bank notes before inserting them (C/D).
• Do not attempt to count notes which are too thick or hard items.
• Fan out the bank notes to separate them prior to insertion.

Inserting Bank Notes

• Slide and fan the bank notes in the bundle so that the top bank note is somewhat lower than the one following. Insert the bank notes in the infeed tray (A). Or
• Insert the bundle vertically in the infeed tray and guide the bundle to the rear so that the bank notes shift against each other (B).
• The counting process starts up automatically if the automatic start function has been activated (AUTO appears in the display).
• Bank notes which have been inserted incorrectly, as illustrated in C and D, lead to an improper count or a malfunction.
• Since the security features of bank notes are provided on both sides, the process for detecting counterfeit bank notes is performed reliably on both sides.

Functions

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.
• When the bank notes counted are removed from the output tray, the quantity count in the top display is reset to X0 and the bottom display displays the quantity.

Adding

• If several bundles of bank notes are stacked in the infeed tray one after the other, counting continues even if the bank notes already counted are removed from the output tray.
• Press the ADD button
• The Add function is activated/deactivated.

Batch

• This function causes counting to stop when the preset quantity of bank notes has been counted. If the counted batch of bank notes is removed from the output tray, the display is reset to X0 and the next batch is counted.
• The quantity of bank notes can be set to any number between 1 and 999. The preset quantity appears in the bottom display.
• If the infeed tray becomes empty before reaching the preset quantity, BATCH flashes in the display. When more bank notes are then inserted in the infeed tray, the process is resumed.
• Press the BATCH button.
• BATCH flashes in the display. The preset quantity 100 appears in the bottom display.
• Use the digit buttons to enter the quantity you want counted.
• The quantity entered appears in the bottom display.

Sorting
With this function, which is always activated, the first bank note is used as a reference for those following. If the machine detects a bank note which deviates from the reference note, the machine stops. d appears in the display, the background of which turns red. The deviating bank note can be removed. Whether the removed bank note should be counted or not can be defined in the settings (refer to Settings).

Settings

• The sensitivity of the sensor and other parameters can be modified using the respective Settings function.
• Press the SET button for a few seconds until the acoustic signal stops.
• d05 and C5 100 appear in the display. d05 represents the current value of the memory segment C5 100. You can change the value using the arrow buttons.
• Press the SET button again.
• The next memory segment appears together with the value.
• After pressing the SET button for the last memory segment you exit from Setting 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 off the unit.

• Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.

• Clean the sensors with the brush supplied. Open the bank note counter to clean the sensors. How to open the bank note counter is described in the following steps.

• Grip the bank note infeed at the sides and remove the infeed vertically out of the machine. Do not grip the infeed in the middle section.

• Pivot the grip to the rear.

• Pivot the operating panel to the front.

• 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.

• Close the machine in the reserve sequence after cleaning.

Adjusting the Pressure of the Infeed Plate

• The bank note counter is set-up at the factory to draw the bank notes in properly. If bank notes are no longer drawn in properly, adjust the pressure exerted by the infeed plate.

• The adjusting screw to alter the pressure exerted by the infeed plate is located at the rear.

• 28 Adjusting screw

• 29 Locking screw

• The adjusting screw is secured against being adjusted inadvertently by means of a locking screw.

• Switch the bank note counter off.

• Loosen the locking screw using the screwdriver supplied.

• Adjust the pressure of the infeed plate so that the bank notes can be pushed under the rubber rollers by exerting a little force.

• Tighten the locking screw.
