GETTING STARTED
Powering up
After ensuring the hopper is empty, turn the power switch ON. The machine will conduct a self-check by spinning the counting wheels several times. The screen will display “O” when the machine is ready.
Loading the hopper
It is important to load the hopper correctly in order to avoid jams and to ensure proper operating speed of the machine. Before loading bills into the 6660, ensure the desired currency and operation modes are selected. Proper placement of bills into the hopper reduces feed errors, jamming, and identification reject errors caused by misaligned bills. Bills should be stacked neatly prior to loading, and placed between the hopper bill guides at the center of the hopper. Avoid counting bills that are wet, excessively dirty, folded, curled, or otherwise misshapen. Ensure no objects are present in the bills being loaded, including coins, paper clips, rubber bands, or other foreign materials. These objects will damage the 6600 and cause failures.
To Reduce Rejects:
- Place the bills evenly arranged as shown below.
- Adjust bill guides to fit to the size of the bills.
- Correct the bills if they are severely wrinkled or damaged.
OPERATING MODES
Auto mode
After turning the machine on it will defoult to Auto mode and “AUTO” will be displayed on the main screen. In this mode the machine starts counting automatically. If the machine is set to operate y,,ith the Manual mAde, br. pressing th!’l Auto button to display “MANUAL” on the main screen, the machine will stop counting automatically; the START button must be pressed to begin eacli count. To go back to Auto mode, press the AUTO button again.
Counting mode
- After the machine is turned on, it defaults to counting mode. To switch to counting mode from another mode (ADD or BATCH), deactivate the mode you were previously using. The machine will automatically revert to counting mode.
- To count bills, place them in the hopper (see section 2.2, “Loading the hopper”). The machine will start counting the bills automatically, and will move the bills from the hopper to the stacker as it counts them.
- The machine will stop counting when the hopper is completely emptied, and will emit a confirmation beep. The counted number of bills will be displayed on the screen. The screen will clear itself of the previous count before the machine starts counting a new stack.
- Placing additional bills in the hopper:
- Be sure the stacker does not accumulate more bills than it can hold {approximately 300 new bills or 150 old bills), as this will cause jamming, and may lead to a motor failure.
Batching mode
To switch to batching mode, press the BAT button. By default, the batch
quantity is preset to 100. Use the BAT button to select other preset quantity
(50, 20, 10) o_r ent_er the desired batch quantity using the numeric keypad.
The entered batch quantity will be displayed on the top right corner of the
screen. The machine will start counting automatically once bills are placed in
the hopper. As soon as the machine counts the desired batch quantity, it will
stop and emit a confirmation beep. The screen will display “BATCH COMPLETE”
and show the number of bills in the stacker. When the stacker is emptied, the
machine will automatically start counting the next preset batch quantity. If
the number of counted bills in the stacker does not reach the preset batch
quantity, the large screen will blink with the actual number of bills counted,
and the machine will emit two beeps and display “BATCH INCOMPLETE” with the
actual number of bills counted. To complete the batch, place additional bills
in the hopper. The machine will automatically count the required number of
bills to complete the batch.
Changing the desired batch quantity while batching:
To change the batch quantity, wait until the machine completes the current
batch. Enter the new batch quantity using the numeric keypad. Please be sure
to empty the stacker before placing new bills in the hopper. If the previous
batch was completed, the machine will automatically start counting to the
newly set batch quantity once the stacker is emptied. To exit this mode, press
the “CLEAR” button or the “BAT” until it disappear from the screen.
Adding mode
In this mode, the machine will count multiple stacks of bills while keeping
track of the total amount of bills counted. To switch to adding mode, press
the ADD button and ADD will be displayed on the screen. Place the bills in the
hopper. The machine will start counting automatically. The machine will emit a
confirmation beep once the hopper is empty. The total number of bills counted
will be displayed next to “TOTAL:” while the last count will be displayed next
to “COUNT:” Empty the stacker, and refill the hopper. The machine will
continue counting, adding the new count to the total count. To reset the
count, press the “CLEAR” button, and both the total and the last count will
clear. To continue adding without emptying the stacker, just refill the
hopper. The machine will continue counting, adding the new stack of bills to
the partially full stacker. Please ensure to not accumulate more bills than
the stacker can hold (approximately 300 new bills or 150 old bills), as this
will cause jamming, or could lead to a motor failure.
Adding and batching mode
This mode allows the user to batch the desired quantity of bills, and monitor
the running total at the same time. To activate this mode, press the “ADD” and
the “BAT” button. Both “ADD” and “BAT:” will be displayed on the screen. To
reset the count, press button “CLEAR”.
Value counting mode
This mode displays the total value of bills counted. The 6600 uses a user-
defined bill denomination as a multiplier, displaying the total value of bills
counted (for example, a denomination of $20 x 25 bills counted = 500
displayed). To activate this feature, press the VALUE button. “VALUE: $1” will
be displal( on the top right corner. Continue to press the VALUE button to
select a denomination of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100. After selecting the
desired denomination, load the bills to be counted into the hopper, ensuring
that the denomination of the bills matches the selected denomination. The 6600
will count the stack and display both the total value and the number of bills
counted on the screen. To exit the Value Counting feature, press the “CLEAR”
button.
Value counting in Add mode:
This mode allows users to count different denominations of bills while keeping
track of the total value of bills counted.
To activate this feature, press the ADD button and the VALUE button to select
the desired denomination.

message will be displayed on the screen with instructions. To continue
counting, remove the suspect bill, which will be the last one in the stacker,
and press the START button. The machine will start counting again, and will
not add the suspect bill to the count. This feature allows users to continue
operation without losing count, and is especially time saving in the adding

counting when a suspect bill is detected, and a “UV ERROR” or “MG ERROR” will
be displayed on the screen with instructions. To continue counting, remove the
suspect bill, which will be the last one in the stacker, and press the START
button. The machine will start counting again, and will not add the
counterfeit bill to the count. This feature allows users to continue operation
without losing count, losing count, and saves considerable time when used with
adding mode. Please note that the 6600 series counters, like all other
counters with integrated detectors on the market, cannot guarantee a counted
bill to be genuine or counterfeit. There are several reasons a genuine bill
may be recognized as counterfeit, or vice versa. Possible reasons include:
direct sunlight exposure, worn bills, excessively dirty bills, or highly
advanced counterfeiting techniques used to produce the bill. Separate
equipment may be required to definitively determine whether or not a bill is
counterfeit.
Double note detection
Bills may stick to each other due to excessive dirt, folding, or various other
reasons. The Cassida 6600 uses infrared light (IR) based technology to
determine when two bills are stuck together. This feature is automatically
activated in all modes for the user’s convenience. The machine will start
beeping, and stop counting when a double bill is detected. A “DOUBLE NOTE
ERROR” with instructions will be displayed on the screen. To clear the error,
all bills must be removed from the stacker. The last count will reset. All
bills in the stacker must then be placed back in the hopper and recounted.
Smart double note detection in adding mode:
When a double note is detected in adding mode, the machine enables users to
continue counting by automatically correcting the total number of counted
bills on the screen. When the machine stops, remove all the bills from the
stacker and machine will not add them to the total count.
Half note detection
The Cassida 6600 incorporates infrared light (IR) sensors that notify users
if a half note passes through the counting mechanism. This feature is
activated automatically in all modes for the users convenience. The machine
will emit a warning beep and stop automatically when a half note is detected.
A “HALF NOTE ERROR” with instructions will be displayed on the screen. To
clear the error, all bills must be removed from the stacker. The last count
will reset. All bills in the stacker must then be placed back in the hopper
and recounted.
Smart half note detection in adding mode:
When a half note is detected in adding mode, the machine enables users to
continue counting by automatically correcting the total number of counted
bills. When the machine stops, remove all the bills from the stacker and the
machine will not add them to the total count.
Chain note detection
The Cassida 6600 utilizes a self-checking system that alerts users in rare
cases when several notes pass through the counting mechanism at once. This
feature is activated automatically in all modes for user’s convenience. The
machine will emit a warning double beep and stop automatically when a chain
note is detected. A “CHAIN NOTE ERROR” with instructions will be displayed on
the screen. To clear the error, all bills must be removed from the stacker.
The last count will reset. All bills in the stacker must then be placed back
in the hopper and recounted.
Smart chain note detection in adding mode:
When a chain note is detected in adding mode, the machine enables the user to
continue counting by automatically correcting the total number of counted
bills. When the machine stops, remove all the bills from the stacker and the
machine will not add them to the total count.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Maintenance
Most operational problems can be avoided by regular care and preventive
maintenance. Taking regular care of your currency counter will significantly
increase its lifetime and help you avoid costly repairs. To avoid problems,
make sure there are no metal clips or rubber bands present in the bills to be
counted. Bill transport and sensor cleaning – after five (5) hours of
operation or once a month, whichever comes first. Use a can of compressed air
and a soft bristle brush to remove dust and other particles from all sensors.
Use a Cassida CleanPro swab to clean all counting sensors. Run a Cassida
CleanBill Pro currency cleaning card to clean internal rubber rollers.
Tip: To maximize the effectiveness of the CleanBill Pro, run it through
the machine several times, flipping the card over and moving it from right to
left/ left to right with each pass. Excessive dirt may require the use of more
than one CleanBill Pro. When not using your machine for an extended period of
time, cover it with a protective cloth or plastic sheet. This will prevent
dust from settling inside.
