• The manual should be available to the operator
• The device should be installed on an even horizontal surface, away from water and dangerous objects
• Don’t place the device in an area where it can be affected by direct sunlight, directional artificial light, strong vibration, or dust
• Do not operate the device with wet hands
• Do not expose to water (or other liquid). Avoid foreign objects
• Avoid dropping the device

During operation
When finished be sure there are no banknotes in the hopper or transport system

• Clean the device regularly and service the device as needed at a licensed service center to comply with the specified parameters.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or attempt to update the counter on your own. This can result in damage to the device or injury to the operator. Contact a licensed service center in case of failure
• Do not turn on the counter if the power cord is damaged

Counter operation

Preparation

• Connect the power cord to the device
• Turn the power switch ON
• Counter starts
• “0” is shown on the main display
• If an error message occurs, see Table 8

Counterfeit detection
The device has a CDF filter to adjust the internal settings to one of the supported currencies. Using the “CUR” button, it is important to set the device to the appropriate currency: Rubles, USD, or EURO. The indicator (Fig. 2-13) corresponds to the selected currency.
Optical density detection works to ensure the authenticity of the material used in the banknotes and to prevent double banknotes from being counted as one. It should be noted that a stack of banknotes can contain both new and worn bills, which have different densities. If the optical density sensitivity is set to a high level, worn banknotes will result in an error. Optical density detection is switched on by default for all counters. When none of the currency indicators are on, this feature is OFF.

Banknote width detection
Detecting the width of a banknote aids in authenticating that note. If the counter recognizes the size of a banknote is smaller (for example, a sensitivity level of dd = 4 corresponds to 4 mm) than the previously counted banknotes, the counter will alert the operator to the presence of a suspicious note. This can also be used to sort banknotes by detecting the size differences between different face values of a given currency. If none of the currency indicators is on, width detection is ON for any type of currency.

UV detection
The PRO 85U and PRO 85UM models incorporate UV detection. Press the “UV” button to switch UV detection ON / OFF (indicated by the backlight indicator). When a banknote with suspicious UV reflection properties is scanned, the counter stops counting and will display an error message “Eu”. The suspicious banknote will remain on top of the stack for the user to remove and examine. After removing the suspicious banknote, the counter will continue counting without including the suspicious banknote in the total. If none of the currency indicators are on, UV detection is ON for any type of currency.

Magnetic detection
The PRO 85UM model includes magnetic detection along with UV detection. Depending on the banknote position (smaller in size), it is possible that the counter will not recognize a suspicious banknote and will continue counting. When a suspicious banknote is recognized without the proper magnetic marks, the counter stops and an error message “En” will be shown on the display. Suspicious banknotes will be placed on the top of the stack of banknotes. The banknote is not added to the total result. Attention! When magnetic detection is on, it is necessary to align banknotes in the middle of the auxiliary hopper plates (Fig. 1-4). In the event of improper alignment, an error “En” will be shown on the display. When none of the currency indicators is lit, magnetic detection is OFF.

Counting procedure
Choose the currency type by pressing the “CUR” button before counting. The indicator (Fig. 2-13) shows the chosen currency type.
Attention! To avoid errors during counting, resort banknotes and put aside banknotes that have been subjected to excessive wear and tear, are folded or have been subjected to substances that may have altered the UV / magnetic properties of the ink.

Function settings

ATTENTION! Follow these guidelines carefully to avoid errors during operation.

Adjustment of the slot size
Remember! Adjusting the feeder slot size is possible by using the paper thickness adjustment screw (Fig. 1-5) on the rear panel. Turn the screw counterclockwise to decrease the feeder slot size and clockwise to increase the size. The feeder slot should be larger for excessively worn banknotes, dirty banknotes, and USD. The feeder slot should be smaller for “new” banknotes. Adjusting the feeder slot size should be done slowly and smoothly, with adjustments of no more than 5 degrees.

The counter speed should be 1200 banknotes per minute. If adjusting the feeder slot size results in the sensor responding slowly, the slow separation of joined banknotes, irregular stacking of banknotes, and/or an error “Eh” occurs, then the slot size should be smoothly increased without exceeding a rotation of more than 5 degrees. If adjusting the feeder slot size results in “Ed”, “Ec”, or “dd” error codes occurring frequently, then the slot size should be smoothly decreased without exceeding a rotation of more than 5 degrees.

Change settings
Changing the sensitivity level for UV detection
Hold the “UV” button for 4 seconds until “Eu” is displayed on display 1. The display 2 will show the sensitivity level of the detector. Set the necessary level of sensitivity from 0 to 9 (high sensitivity level) using digital buttons 0-9. Press the “START” button to enter a new figure in the data store and exit the sensitivity level change mode.

Changing the sensitivity level for magnetic detection
Hold the “MG” button for 4 seconds until “En” is shown on display 1. The display 2 will show the sensitivity level of the detector. Set the necessary level of sensitivity from 0 to 9 (high sensitivity level) using digital buttons 0-9. Press the “START” button to enter a new figure in the data store and exit the sensitivity level change mode.

Changing the sensitivity of optical density
It should be noted that one stack can contain both new and worn banknotes, which have different densities. If the sensitivity level is set to high, the device may return worn banknotes as suspicious. Hold the “ADD” button for 4 seconds until “Ed” is shown on display 1. The display 2 will show the sensitivity level of the detector. Set the necessary level of sensitivity from 0 to 9 (high sensitivity level) by using digital buttons 0-9. Press the “START” button to enter a new figure in the data store and exit the sensitivity level change mode.

Changing the acceptable width range for banknotes
Hold the “DD” button for 4 seconds until “dd” is shown on display 1. The sensitivity level is shown on display 2. Enter the figure from 4 to 9, which corresponds to between 4 and 9 mm. If the level is set to “0”, width detection is OFF. In the event of a high sensitivity level, the device may reject excessively worn, folded, or torn banknotes and will display the error code “dd”. Press the “START” button to enter a new figure in the data store and exit sensitivity level change mode.

The default settings correspond to average values:

• Ed=5 dd=4 Eu=5 En=5
