B. Check for foreign objects mixed up with the bills such as paper clips,
rubber bands, pieces of paper, etc.

D. Position the bills in an orderly manner on the hopper tray to ensure an error-free operation.
Equipment Overview
Control Panel Description
-
UV: Ultraviolet Verification On/Off
This function allows the unit to analyze the ultraviolet characteristics of each bill during the counting. The unit will stop counting in case a bill is considered suspicious.
The UV sensitivity can be adjusted by the user from 1-9. -
MG: Magnetic Verification On/Off
This function allows the unit to analyze the magnetic characteristics of each bill during the counting. The unit will stop counting in case a bill is considered suspicious.
The MG sensitivity can be adjusted by the user from 1-9. -
DD: Bill Size Verification (Width) On/Off
This function allows the unit to analyze the size (WIDTH) of each bill during the counting. The unit “memorizes” the width of the first bill counted, then uses it as a reference to compare it with the rest of the bills.
The unit will stop counting when a bill of a different size is found.
The DD sensitivity can be adjusted by the user from 1-9. -
A/M: Automatic or Manual starting mode.
The unit begins counting automatically when banknotes are placed in the hopper. To manually control this action, change to MNL (manual) mode. -
ADD: Adding function On / Off.
This function allows the unit to add up all the consecutive operations made when this function is ON. -
LEVEL (IR): Adjust the emission intensity of the counting sensors.
-
+ / – : Used to set up batches manually to different preset quantities. Just select the nearest preset quantity, then use keys “+ / – “ to set up the desired manual batch quantity.
Also used to adjust the counting functions as well as the Sensitivity of the counterfeit detection functions. -
BATCH: Preset batch selection
By pressing the BATCH button sequentially, the preset batch value will change among 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, or off. -
SPEED: By pressing the SPEED key sequentially, the user can select the desired counting speed from 600-1000-1200-1900 bills/min.
-
COVER: Enable or Disable the dust cover mechanism. In the Enable status, the cover will open and close automatically during the counting operation.
Sensitivity Adjustment of the Counterfeit detection functions, (MG-UV-DD- LEVEL)
The user has the option to adjust (increase or decrease) the sensitivity of the counterfeit detection functions based on their specific needs and the bills’ condition.
To modify these setting values, press and hold the specific function for 3
seconds until the display shows the current value for the selected function.
Next, proceed to INCREASE or DECREASE the current value using the + & – keys
until reaching the desired sensitivity value. Press START to validate the
selection and return to counting mode.
The sensitivity can be adjusted from 1-9 where 1 is the lowest sensitivity and 9 the highest sensitivity.
NOTE: If the unit is reporting error messages related to the UV, and MG functions (UUE or MGE) often, verify the sensitivity settings for these functions in case they are too high. That could affect the unit’s performance
Operation
Counting Operation
- Turn the unit ON.
- The unit will proceed with a Self-Test routine to confirm the proper operation before starting the count. If any error is reported, check the ERROR MESSAGES section to solve the problem.
- Select the desired verification functions to use (MG-UV-DD) based on the security features encountered on your currency.
- Set up the rest of the options like SPEED, COVER, and BATCH based on your own needs.
- Place the bills orderly in the hopper and the unit will start counting them automatically.
NOTE: If the unit is in MANUAL mode, press START to begin counting.
Miscounting errors
If the unit is not counting accurately:
- Ensure that the banknotes are placed orderly in the hopper.
- Clean the dust or any other kind of dirt from the counting sensors.
- Evaluate the bill thickness. Adjust the mechanism as needed to improve the unit’s performance.
- If MG errors or UV errors are reported often, proceed to verify the sensitivity, and consider reducing them in case the sensitivity is too high.
Setting the unit up for counting Polymer bills
- Press and hold the ADD key and turn the unit ON. The unit will boot up in the Settings Menu.
- Press the BATCH key sequentially until reaching the P 10 (Ho) parameter.
- Use the “+” key to set it up to Ho-1 for counting Polymer bills or use the “-” key to set it up to Ho-0 if necessary.
- Press START to save the change and return to the counting screen.
NOTE: Polymer bills with transparent windows might provoke counting errors depending on the location of the transparent windows inside the bill.
Thickness Knob Adjustment
Proceed with this calibration when the bills are not fed smoothly through the machine or miscounting errors are occurring frequently.
- The Thickness Adjustment Knob is set at 0 (at the center). This is the standard setting from the factory.
- Having the correct thickness adjustment knob position will ensure a smooth counting as well as a trouble-free operation.
- Trial and error attempts are recommended before you make the final adjustment.
a. For new (thinner) bills, adjust toward “-” to reduce the gap.
b. For used (thicker) bills, adjust toward “+” to increase the gap.
c. Small adjustments towards the “+” direction work best.
Emergency Stop button
The emergency stop button is a safety feature that immediately stops the equipment from performing any operations when pressed.
If the emergency button is pressed, the equipment must be turned OFF and ON again to resume the counting operation.
