2 Operation

2.1 Turning on the machines

Please ensure that the power supply you are using is with the same

parameter as the ones on the back of the machine.

The machine will proceed automatic checkout for 2 (two) seconds. If the
machine is in normal condition, the count display shows “0”. Put the bills
on the input hopper, the machine will automatically start to count.

Please note:

 When the code signals are displayed during the process of turning

on the machine and counting bills, please adjust them with
reference to 3.1.

 With memory chips installed, the parameter setting of the machine

is out of your own choice. The default configuration are:

Auto counting, ‘add’ function is disabled, auto recognition of
different width, counting speed – 900 notes per minute, and the
magnetic and UV detection are on.

chink (to “+”); when the machine stops with signals like “db”, “CH”
displayed, decrease the feeding chink (to “-“).

Please note: don’t rotate the adjusting knob to a large degree, and
only the inching movement is applicable.

2.2.3 How to adjust the paper guide

 The width of the paper guide should be in accordance with that of

the bills that the machine is to count

 When there’s width difference between the bills, please adjust the

paper guide to suit the present width of the bills, so as to avoid
mis-alarm.

Please note:

 It is suggested that the first note of the bill bundle should be a

70% new bill without pollution, so as to be considered as the
standard for auto-identification.

 The sensitivity of the two methods of counterfeit detection can be

adjusted. For the details of operation, please refer to Section 2.4.

2.3.2 Speed adjustment The machine gives the user 4 speed levels to choose from, including

600pcs/m, 900pcs/m, 1200pcs/m and 1500pcs/m. To choose the
desired speed, press the function key SPEED . Generally, to make the
machine works under the best condition, 900pcs/m is recommended as
the default speed.

Please note: when counting under 1500pcs/m, the indicator light of
magnetic detection is automatically off, and the machine will not conduct
the magnetic detection.

2.3.3 Accumulation of effective counting value Press the ADD key, the indicator light above is on, and the count display

will show the total of all the effective counting value (i.e. except for the
dubious bill, which is not counted into the effective value) since the
machine is turned on. And the machine will continue to count from the
total value.

2.3.4 Batch presetting The batch presetting can be achieved by directly pressing the keys on the

batch keypad. When the batch number is reached, the machine will stop
for the user to take out the bills and so that it can continue the batch
operation.

Please note:

 Continuous batch counting is only applicable under the state of

auto counting.

 The preset batch under manual counting can only do the batch

counting for one time.

2.3.5 Batch number clearance Press CLEAR key to clear the preset batch number on the

batch/parameter. And the machine withdraws from the batching state.

2.4 Setting the auxiliary functions

Press “7777”, i.e. “7” for four times, to change the parameters of the
machines, and the batch/parameter display will show “SEt”:

2.4.1 Press “1” to enter the setting of UV detection The sensitivity of UV detection is adjustable by continuously pressing the

“1” key, and the sensitivity will be changed from SU1 to SU15, (the
default setting is SU7). The smaller the number follows SU, the higher the
sensitivity of UV detection.

2.4.2 Press “2” to enter the setting of Magnetic detection The sensitivity of Magnetic detection is adjustable by continuously

pressing the “2” key, and the sensitivity can be changed from Sd1 to
Sd15 (the default setting is Sd7). The smaller the number follow Sd, the
higher the sensitivity of Magnetic detection.

2.4.3 Press “3” to enter the setting of width difference of the banknotes The sensitivity of width difference detection is adjustable by continuously

pressing the “4” key, and the sensitivity will be changed from dd1, dd2,
dd3, dd4, dd5, dd6 and dd7 (the default setting is dd4). When the width
difference between the bills is detected to be over the set parameter, the
machine alarms and stops counting.

2.4.4 Press “4” to enter the setting of banknotes density The sensitivity of banknote density is adjustable by continuously pressing

the “4” key, and the sensitivity will be changed from dE1, dE2, dEN3, dE4,
dE5, dE6 and dE7 (the default setting is dEN4).

Please note:

 For the sensitivity of counterfeit detection, the smaller the

number, the higher the sensitivity.

 If mis-alarm frequently occurred, please decrease the sensitivity of

counterfeit detection, i.e. increase the number; if the machine

often fails to report the dubious notes, please increase the
sensitivity, i.e. decrease the number.

2.5 Memory of the last setting

The currency counter has the function of automatically saving the
parameters of the last setting. When each function and its parameters

have been set, press the START/RESET key, and the present setting is
saved. The machine will be working under the new setting after being
