2.2 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

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 analyze 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.
**When the MG function is active, the highest speed (1800 bills/min) is not
available to be selected by the user**.

2.2 Control Panel Description (continued)
•UV: Ultraviolet Verification On/Off (UV and MG/UV model only)
This function allows the equipment to analyze 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 analyze the width of each bill
while counting. 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, 25, 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. Equipment Overview (continued)
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 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.

11
2. Equipment Overview (continued)
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 leveled. 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.

13
3. Getting Started (continued)
3.3 Bill Selection / 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.
C. If counting new bills, fan them lightly since they often stick together.
D. Position the bills in an orderly manner on the hopper tray to ensure an
error-free operation.

14
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 to confirm
the proper functioning of its main components. If any error message is
reported, go to the Error Messages section of this guide to identify its
cause.
- 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 Miscounting 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 or
some other nature.
- Make sure that the thickness adjustment gap is in the proper position for
that bill (whether old, new, paper, or polymer).
- If the equipment displays continuous error messages related to the MG
and UV functions, consider reducing the sensitivity.

15
4. Operation (continued)
4.3 Thickness Knob Adjustment (Feeding Gap)
If there are frequent counting errors and/or the bills do not enter 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.
