Safety Instructions

WARNING!

• Risk of suffocation through small parts, packaging and protective foils!
  Keep the product and packaging out of reach of children!

CAUTION!

• Risk through infeed rollers!
  Keep fingers, hair etc. away from the infeed.
• Risk of tripping through improperly laid cable!
  Lay the cables so that nobody can trip over them.

ATTENTION!

• Risk of property damage!
  Ensure no foreign bodies, such as paper clips, rubber bands, etc. get into the infeed.
  Prevent exposing the device to environmental influences such as smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat or direct sunlight.
  Repairs may only be carried out by properly trained specialists.

Intended Use

The bank note counter with verification functions, subsequently referred to as a bank note counter, serves to count bank notes. Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorized modification or reconstruction is not permitted.

Under no circumstances open the bank note counter or complete any repair work yourself.

This device checks two of the features of the bank notes (ultraviolet feature and magnetic feature) to ensure they are not counterfeit. If other features of the notes have been falsified or are missing, this bank note counter cannot detect the bank notes as being critical. In the same way, an authentic bank note can be detected as being faulty due to soiling or some other external influence. Therefore, test bank notes detected as being faulty several times and, in the case of doubt, consult your bank institution.

37 External display

Switching the Bank Note Counter On/Off

The bank note counter is switched on and off using a switch [8] on the rear of the machine.

After switching the bank note counter on, it completes a self-diagnosis. During the self-diagnosis, 8888 and 8888 appear in the displays [24, 30]. When the self-diagnosis has finished without any errors, 0 appears in the displays [24, 30].

If an error is detected, it is indicated in the top display [24] (refer to Clearing Errors).

Pay attention to the following points to prevent malfunctions.

A

B

C

D

• Check the batch of bank notes for paper clippings, paper clips, rubber bands and other foreign bodies and remove them before inserting the bundle in the machine (Figure A).
  Do not insert any damaged bank notes (Figure B).
  Smoothen any creased and folded bank notes before inserting them (Figure C/D).
  Do not insert any bank notes which are stuck together in the bank note counter.
  Fan out the bank notes to separate them prior to insertion.

Inserting Bank Notes

The bank note counter is a front loading device in which the bank notes are loaded from the front.

Insert the batch of bank notes on the infeed tray [3].
The bottom note in the batch of bank notes is drawn into the bank note counter.

i Complete the count to detect critical bank notes. The verification features are tested on both sides of each bank note in one process.

Automatic/Manual Infeed

Automatic Infeed:

Press the M/A button [22].
Automatic infeed of the bank notes is activated. AUTO [25] appears in the display.

Manual Infeed:

Press the M/A button [22] until AUTO [25] disappears from the display.

Press the RESET button [18] to start counting.

Functions

Select the required function.

Counting

This function counts the number of bank notes and depending on the sensor setting, their validity.

During the counting process, the quantity of bank notes appears in the top display [24].

If the bank notes counted are left in the output tray [6], counting resumes from the last number.

If the bank notes counted are removed from the output tray [6] and a new batch of bank notes is placed in the infeed tray [3], counting begins from .

The previous count for the bank notes appears in the bottom display [30].

Press the COUNT button [17].
The bank notes are counted without any verification tests (UV, MG, MT, IR) and discharged in the output tray [6].

Adding

When this function is activated, counting is continued even if the bank notes counted are removed from the output tray [6] and a new bundle of bank notes is laid in the infeed tray [3].

This function is particularly useful in the case of large batches of bank notes and for heavily used and creased bank notes. Smaller batches of bank notes can then be counted in succession. The bank note counter continues with the count of the bank notes.

Press the ADD button [19].
The Add function is activated/deactivated.

ADD [28] appears in the display.

Batch

This function causes counting to stop when a preset quantity of bank notes has been counted. If the batch of bank notes counted is removed from output tray [6], the top display [24] skips back to and the next batch of bank notes is counted.

Press the BATCH/C button [21].

BAT [27] appears in the display. The preset number 100 appears in the bottom display [30].
Use the digit buttons to enter the quantity you want counted.

The number is freely selectable between I and 999.

The number entered appears in the bottom display [30]. The bank note counter is ready for the batch function.
Insert the batch of bank notes on the infeed tray [3].
The number of bank notes counted appears in the top display [24].

If the bank notes in the infeed tray [3] run out before the number defined is reached, the top display [24] indicates the number counted up to now. When more bank notes are then inserted in the infeed tray [3], the process is resumed until the preset number is reached.

Press the BATCH/C button [21] to deactivate the function.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Sensors

Bank notes are often soiled, particularly by dust. The dirt deposits on the sensors during the counting process. Soiled sensors are the most frequent cause of malfunctions.

Switch the bank note counter off using the switch [8].
Disconnect the power cable from the mains power socket.
Pivot the top housing cover upwards.

Clean areas which cannot be accessed using compressed air, if necessary. Compressed air can be obtained in small aerosol cans.

Clean the sensors with the brush supplied.
Pivot the top cover back down.

Adjusting the Pressure of the Infeed Rollers

The bank note counter is set-up at the factory to draw the bank notes in properly. If the bank notes are no longer drawn in properly or the EES alarm indicator appears in the display [2], you must change the pressure applied by the infeed rollers.

The adjusting screw [9] to alter the pressure exerted by the infeed rollers is located at the rear.

Turning the adjusting screw [9] counterclockwise reduces the pressure applied by the infeed rollers.

Turning the adjusting screw [9] clockwise increases the pressure applied by the infeed rollers.

Switch the bank note counter off using the switch [8].
Disconnect the power cable from the mains power socket.
Adjust the pressure of the infeed rollers with the adjusting screw [9] so that the bank notes can slide under the infeed rollers with a little force.

Clearing Errors

Error Indicators

Errors are indicated in the top display line [24] by means of code numbers. At the same time, the display [2] is switched to a red background.

A frequent source of errors is soiling of the sensors (see Cleaning the Sensors). Following the instructions provided under "Solution".

Code No.	Cause Solution
EO1	The left-hand sensor for counting the bank notes is soiled or damaged.	Clean the sensor. If the error continues to occur, refer to the information in Chapter "Warranty".
EO2	The right-hand sensor for counting the bank notes is soiled or damaged.
EO3	The code disk is soiled, loose or damaged.	Refer to the information in Chapter "Warranty".
EO4	The sensor in the infeed tray [3] is soiled or damaged.	Clean the sensor. If the error continues to occur, refer to the information in Chapter "Warranty".
EO5	The sensor in the output tray [6] is soiled or damaged.
EORThe ambient light is too bright or contains UV components.		Dim the ambient light or switch off the ambient light.
bF	The infeed rollers rotate but do not draw any bank notes in.	Press the RESET button [18] and repeat the counting function. If the error continues to occur, refer to the information in Chapter "Adjusting the Pressure of the Infeed Rollers".

Alarm Indicators

Alarms are indicated in the top display line [24] by means of code numbers. At the same time, the display is switched to a red background.
