3. Operation
3.1 Counting Operation
- Proceed to turn the unit ON.
- The unit will proceed with a short Self-Test routine to confirm the proper
operation of all its modules before starting the counting. If any error is
reported, check the ERROR MESSAGES section for solving the problem.
- Select the desired verification functions to use (MG-UV-DD etc) based
on the security features encountered on your currency.
- Set up the rest of the options like SPEED, BATCH etc. based on your
own needs.
- Place the bills orderly in the hopper and the unit will start counting them
automatically.
NOTE: If the unit is set to MANUAL, press START to begin the counting
operation.
3.2 Miscounting errors
In case the unit is not having an accurate counting operation, proceed as
follow:
- Ensure that the banknotes are placed orderly in the hopper.
- Check the counting sensors for dust or any other kind of malfunctioning
source.
- Verify the bill thickness adjustment mechanism (feeding gap) in case it
need to be re-adjusted for improving the unit performance.
- If MG or UV or DD errors messages are reported frequently, proceed
to verify the functions sensitivity and consider reduce them in case you
conrm the current sensitivity value is too high.

16
3.3 Thickness Knob Adjustment Procedure (Feeding Gap)
Proceed with this calibration when the bills are not fed smoothly through
the machine or miscounting errors are occurring frequently.
Other reasons that might require to readjust the feeding gap are:
- The counting of new or mint condition bills
- The counting of poor or bad tness condition bills
Having the correct thickness adjustment knob positioning will ensure a
smooth counting as well as a trouble-free unit’s operation.
Trial and error attempts are recommended before you make the nal ad-
justment.
a. for new (thinner) notes, adjust toward “-“ to reduce the gap
b. for used (thicker) notes, adjust toward “+” to increase the gap
c. small adjustment toward “+” direction works best
d. Polymer bills might require to reduce the gap for ensuring a good
counting result
