AccuBANKER AB4200 Commercial Bill Counter Basic or MGUV User Guide - Control
Panel Description

  • A/M: Automatic or Manual starting mode By pressing the A/M button, the user can change between Auto (automatic) and MNL (manual) counting modes. In Auto, the default setting, the equipment begins counting automatically when the bills are placed on the hopper. In manual mode, the equipment will only begin counting once the START key is pressed.
  • ADD: Adding function On / Off This function allows the equipment to add up all the consecutive counts made with this function ON.
  • SPEED: Change the counting speed between 1200 -1500 -1800 bill/min Pressing the SPEED key repeatedly will display the three-speed options available. Press “START” when the desired speed option appears.
    *When the highest speed (1800 bill/min) is chosen, the MG function is not available to be selected by the user.
  • MG: Magnetic Verification On/Off (MG/UV model only) Allows the equipment to analyse the magnetic features of each bill during the counting process. The equipment will stop counting if a bill is considered suspicious. The MG sensitivity can be adjusted by the user from 1-9, where 1 is the minimum and 9 is the maximum sensitivity.
    *When the MG function is active, the highest speed (1800 bills/min) is not available to be selected by the user.
  • UV: Ultraviolet Verification On/Off (UV and MG/UV model only) This function allows the equipment to analyse the ultraviolet characteristics of each bill while counting. The equipment will stop counting if a bill is considered suspicious. The UV sensitivity can be adjusted from 1-9, where 1 is the minimum and 9 is the maximum sensitivity.
  • DD: Bill Size Verification (Width) On/Off. This function allows the equipment to analyse the width of each bill while counting. The unit memorizes the width of the first and second bill as a reference for comparison. The equipment will stop counting if a bill with a different size is found. The DD sensitivity can be adjusted from 1-9, where 1 is the minimum and 9 is the maximum sensitivity.
  • LEVEL: This allows the adjustment of the emission intensity of the counting sensors. It can be adjusted from 1-9, where 1 is the minimum and 9 is the maximum.
  • C key: Used to clear (delete) the counted data from the display
  • BATCH: Preset batch selection by pressing the BATCH key repeatedly, the preset batch value will change among 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, or off.
  • START: While in MANUAL mode, used to Start or Stop the count. Also used to accept and confirm batch selection as well as security functions sensitivities.
  • Numeric Keys: Used to set up batch sizes manually and to enter the value for security function sensitivity levels.
2.3 Display Brightness Adjustment

The control panel’s display may need to be adjusted (lightened or darkened) to read the screen more easily. Press the “7” key to enter into the BRIGHTNESS menu. Next, press “ADD” to increase or “SPEED” to decrease the brightness on the display. Press START to save the brightness level and return to count mode.

2.4 Adjusting Counterfeit Detection Features (MG-UV-DD-LEVEL)

The sensitivity level of the detection functions may be adjusted (increased or decreased) from 1-9, where 1 is the lowest sensitivity and 9 is the highest sensitivity.

To modify the values, press the key for the desired security function for 3 seconds until the display shows the current sensitivity value for the selected feature. Use the numeric keypad to select a new value. Press START to save the selection and return to counting mode.

NOTE: If the equipment is frequently reporting error messages, related to any security feature (MG – UV – DD), the current sensitivity setting for these functions may need to be adjusted as they may be too high (sensitive) for the current bills being counted.AccuBANKER AB4200 Commercial Bill Counter Basic

Features

2.5 Counting Polymer Bills

The default configuration of the equipment is set to count paper bills (such as US bills). PP appears on the top right corner of the display to indicate that the equipment is set to count paper bills. If the user needs to count polymer bills (such as Canadian bills), this setting must be changed. Press the “5” & “8” keys together for 3 seconds until the display changes from PP to PL (polymer). Pressing the “5” and “8” keys again will change the setting back to PP (paper) mode.

If PL mode has been selected, we recommended activating the DD function (see section 2.4 above) to ensure the accuracy of the counting result. The thickness gap may also need to be reduced (see section 3.3). MG and LEVEL functions are not available in PL mode.

3. Getting Started

3.1 Installation

Select an appropriate workspace that is clean, flat, and levelled. The equipment should never be placed near strong sources of light, heat sources, or air conditioners. Please do not install the equipment where its weight cannot be supported. Plug the power cable to the back of the unit and into the wall power outlet.

3.2 Bill Guider Installation
  1. Align the guider with the latch mechanism in the equipment.
  2. Insert the guider into the latch until it “clicks” into position.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the other guider.
  4. To remove the guider, push it toward you while pulling it out from the latching mechanism.
3.3 Bill Placement

A. Avoid counting wet, excessively dirty, folded, or damaged bills. B. Check for foreign objects mixed up with the bills such as paper clips, rubber bands, pieces of paper, etc.AccuBANKER AB4200 Commercial Bill Counter Basic or MGUV
User Guide - Check for foreign objects mixed up
C. If counting new bills, fan them lightly since they often stick together.

D. Position the bills neatly on the hopper tray to ensure an error-free operation.

4. Operation

4.1 Counting Operation

– Turn on the equipment by pressing the power switch.
– The unit will immediately proceed with a self-check routine. If any error message is reported, see section 5. Warning and Error Messages for more information.
– Select the desired detection functions MG-UV-DD (MG – UV only available on models with counterfeit detection).
– 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.

4.2 Counting 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, debris, foreign objects, etc.
– Make sure that the thickness adjustment gap is properly adjusted for the bills being counted (whether old, new, paper, or polymer).
– If the equipment displays continuous error messages related to the MG and UV functions, consider reducing the sensitivity.
– Refer to section 5. Warning and Error Messages for more information.

4.3 Thickness Knob Adjustment (Feeding Gap)

If there are frequent counting errors and/or the bills do feed into the equipment smoothly, the thickness knob needs to be adjusted.

The adjustment screw is located on the top-right corner of the unit. If the screw is turned towards (-), the opening where bills enter the equipment from the hopper tray narrows, making the bills run tighter. Turning the screw toward (+) widens the gap, making the bills run more freely.

NOTE: For new bills, it is recommended to leave the gap narrow. For used and worn bills, it is recommended to widen the gap.

  • 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.

4.4 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.

Avoid accidentally pressing the Emergency button during a count.

5. Warning and Error Messages

During operation, the unit may report some error messages to notify the user of an incident or error detected. The table below describes the possible errors and how to deal with them. If the error messages persist please contact Technical Support.
