Operation

Counting Operation

Proceed to turn the unit ON.
The unit will proceed with a short Self-Test routine to confirm the proper operation of all its modules before starting the count. If any error is reported, check the ERROR
MESSAGES section for a solution to the problem.
Select the desired verification functions to use (MG-UV-DD etc.) based on the security features of your currency.
Set up the rest of the options like SPEED, BATCH, etc. 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 set to MANUAL, press START to begin the counting operation.

Miscounting errors

In case the unit is not having an accurate counting operation, proceed as follow:

Ensure that the banknotes are placed orderly in the hopper.
Check the counting sensors for dust or any other kind of malfunctioning source.
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 miscounting errors are occurring frequently.
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

Having the correct thickness adjustment knob positioning 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.

for new (thinner) notes, adjust toward “-” to reduce the gap
for used (thicker) notes, adjust toward “+” to increase the gap
small adjustment toward “+” direction works best
polymer bills might require to reduce the gap for ensuring a good counting result

Increase thickness gap rotates knob toward

Emergency Stop button
