5.1 Avoiding Problems

Pre-select the notes you are going to count in the unit. Don't attempt to count

bills:

a. with staples, metal clips, rubber bands, or any other object

b. if torn, washed, or damaged

c. profusely stained

d. covered with any type of adhesive substance.

5.2 Miscounting Errors

In case the unit is not having an accurate counting, proceed as follow:

1. Ensure that the banknotes are placed orderly in the hopper (section

4.2).

2. Clean the dust or any other kind of dirt from the counting sensors.

3. Evaluate the bill thickness. Adjust the mechanism as needed to

improve the unit’s performance (section 5.3).

5. Troubleshooting (continued)

5.3 Jamming

Before beginning operating the machine, make sure there are no foreign

objects in any of the mechanisms such as silica bags, spare parts, etc.

• To avoid jamming, ensure that banknotes are placed correctly in the

hopper (section 4.2).

• If jamming occurs, turn off the machine before proceeding to remove

the bills. Carefully remove the jammed banknotes from the machine

with a wooden or rubber stick. Look for any foreign objects such as

paper clips, rubber bands, etc., and remove them if necessary.

•If the Jammed bills become a common event during the unit's

function, it means the unit needs to be calibrated. Having the correct

thickness adjustment knob position will ensure a smooth counting as

well as a trouble-free operation. Rotating the knob Clockwise or

Counterclockwise will vary the thickness of the bill grabbing system.

Clockwise rotating

- Decrease Thickness Gap (Increase bills friction)

Counterclockwise rotating

- Increase Thickness Gap (Decrease bills friction)
