UV Counterfeit Detection

Counterfeit bills often use white or bleached paper, which will glow under ultraviolet light. To use ultraviolet counterfeit detection, press the "CF" button and then the "UV" button (#8 on the numeric keypad). Press the "CF" button and then the "UV" button to disengage the UV function.

Magnetic Counterfeit Detection

If the magnetic detector does not find the presence of magnetic components that are standard in authentic bills, the machine will stop counting to allow removal of the counterfeit bill. To use magnetic counterfeit detection, press the "CF" button and then the "MG" button (#9 on the numeric keypad). Press the "CF" button and then the "MG" button to disengage the MG function.

Infrared Counterfeit Detection

Most bills often have infrared markings. Infrared light is used to validate these markings. To use infrared counterfeit detection press the "CF button" and then the "IR" button (#7 on the numeric keypad). Press the "CF" button and then the "IR" button to disengage the IR function.

Dimensional Detection

The dimension detector measures the width of the center of each bill by using infrared light. If the detector finds an odd-sized bill, the machine will stop counting to allow removal of the bill and display the error code on the preset display. To use dimensional counterfeit detection, press the "DD" button. To adjust the DD level press the "DD" button for 3 seconds, the display will show the current size (dd- -5). Press the numeric key 1 to 9 to adjust the level, 1 for lowest, 9 for highest. After choosing the level number press the "RESTART" button to confirm. To disengage this function press the "DD" button again.

PRODUCT OPERATION (CONTINUED)

- Counterfeit Detection Methods

Ultraviolet and Magnetic Counterfeit Detection Methods are automatically on when the unit is powered up. To manually turn off any or all methods see (CONTROL PANEL - LOCATED ON PAGE 5.)

The machine is preset to automatically start counting bills once placed into the hopper. To change to the manual start mode, press the "CF" button and then the "AUTO" button (#2 on the numeric keypad). MNL will appear on the display. Insert the bills into the hopper, and press "RESTART" button. Press the "CF" button and then the "AUTO" button (#2 on the numeric keypad) to return to Auto mode.

The bill counting mode is preset on type 2. To adjust the counting mode, press "SET" twice. Preset display window will display "F". Use the keypad to select a type 1-3.

• Type 1 will not count counterfeit or irregular bills and stop counting to allow the removal of bill(s) in question, and allow re-insertion of all bills into the hopper to restart counting from zero.
• Type 2 will stop counting when a counterfeit or irregular bill is detected and include these bills in the master count (shown on the count display).
• Type 3 will count counterfeit or irregular bills and continue counting, unless there is a jam error (either EA2, two or more bills counted as one, or EA3, part of one bill overlapping another bill), in which case the count may be inaccurate. In this case, bill(s) in question are counted, and the machine will stop to allow re-insertion of all bills into the hopper to restart counting from zero.

3. Place bills into the hopper to begin counting; press "RESTART" if in manual mode

WARNING: Before doing any dusting, turn the power switch off and disconnect the power cord from the machine. It is very important to clean all the sensors in the machine with a soft brush to avoid any paper particles or dust from sticking to the light transmitter or the light-receiver sensors. It is important to clean the inside of the machine occasionally. Unplug the machine and lift the top cover to gain access to the interior.

If necessary, the glass surfaces of the detectors may also be wiped with a soft cloth damped with alcohol.

To get the best results out of your bill counter, Royal Sovereign recommends using Royal Sovereign Cleaning Cards (RBC-CLN) to remove dirt, dusts, oils, and other contaminates from bill counters. With the machine on, simply run the cleaning card through the machine like a bill. This cleaning card will run through and clean the sensors of dirt and other contaminates. Cleaning cards are recommended to be used after every 100 cycles.

CAUTION: DO NOT CHANGE THE POSITION OF THE DETECTORS AND/OR OPTICAL SENSORS
