Operation

Turn on the equipment by pressing the power switch.
The unit will immediately proceed with a self-check routine to confirm the proper functioning of its main components. If any error message is reported, go to the Error Messages section of this guide to identify its cause.
Select the required Currency (for multi-currency models) as well as the operating mode (MIX-SORT-COUNT-LOCAL)
Set up other optional functions such as SPEED, BATCH, etc.
Place the bills in an orderly manner on the hopper tray and the equipment will start counting automatically.NOTE: If the unit is in MANUAL mode, press START to begin counting.

Miscounting errors
If there are continuous counting errors proceed to:

Make sure the bills are positioned neatly on the hopper tray.
Verify that the counting sensors are not affected by particles of dust or some other nature.
Verify the bill thickness adjustment mechanism (feeding gap) in case it needs to be re-adjusted for improving the unit performance.
If MG, UV, or DD error messages are reported frequently, proceed to verify the sensitivity of the function and consider reducing them in case the current sensitivity value is too high.

Thickness Knob Adjustment (Feeding Gap)
Proceed with this calibration when the bills are not fed smoothly through the machine or several error messages are occurring too often like DOUBLE NOTES, CHAIN, or miscounting errors.
Other reasons that might require readjusting the feeding gap are:

The counting of new or mint condition bills
The counting of poor or bad fitness condition bills
Polymer bills and Paper-made bills counted together

Having the correct feeding gap will ensure a smooth counting as well as a trouble-free unit’s operation. Trial and error attempts are recommended before you make the final adjustment.
NOTE: For new bills, it is recommended to leave the gap narrow. For used and worn bills, it is recommended to widen the gap.

For new (thinner) bills, as well as Polymer notes, adjust toward “-” to reduce the gap.
For used (thicker) bills, adjust toward “+” to increase the gap.
Small adjustments towards the “+” direction work best.

Removing jammed notes
In case a bill jams inside the transporting mechanism, the unit will notify the user showing the message “REMOVE THE BILL JAMMED AND/OR CLOSE BACK DRAWER”.

Proceed to open the back compartment by pushing down the lock lever, located at the back, at the same time you pull it toward you. The instructions label shows the details of this procedure.
If you notice you can reach the bill easily using your fingers, then proceed to remove it carefully. But if you notice it is difficult to reach or it is stuck with the transporting rollers, then proceed to rn the unit OFF before proceeding to remove it.
Do not use any tool or metallic instrument to remove the bill since it might damage other unit’s components accidentally.
Make sure to remove any remaining debris in case the bill is broken.
Close the compartment properly after removing the bill.

Unit Maintenance

Periodic Cleaning Routines
Following these periodic cleaning routines will help keep the unit in the optimum condition for ensuring a trouble-free operation, as well as to extend the unit’s lifespan. Daily routine: Perform the following steps on a daily basis:

Turn Off the unit when not in use.
With a clean dry cloth or a brush, remove the dust deposited on the hopper and the stacker area.
Turn off the unit and unplug its power cord.
Open the back cover carefully.
Use an air duster can and a brush to carefully remove the dust from the bill passage areas.
Inspect the CIS sensors, in case they are stained with ink, and use a cloth soaked in alcohol to clean the CIS sensor’s surface.Note: Follow the same procedure given in section “4.4 Removing jammed notes” to gain access to the CIS sensors and the transporting mechanism.

CIS Calibration Procedure
Proceed with the CIS calibration procedure when the machine is rejecting many bills with NOT RECOGNIZED error message. It is highly recommended to clean the machine first to make sure the CIS sensors are cleaned. Also, after installing any new firmware update it is recommended to calibrate the CIS sensors.

Get ready the calibration plastic card included with the machine.
Press BATCH -1-2-3-6 START to access the calibration menu. Then press the #1 key to select “Adjust CIS”.
Open the back cover and place the calibration card holding it from the top rollers.
Close the back cover then press START to begin the calibration process.
Wait until the machine shows the message “CIS Check – OK”.
Then proceed to press the #2 key “Adjust Count” then press START
Wait for the message “IR Check – OK”.
Press BACK to leave the calibration menu then proceed to remove the calibration card inside the machine.NOTE: For a video reference of this procedure access our website support page www.accubanker.com/pages/support then select the AB7100 model.
