2.0 OPERATION
2.1 COUNTING FUNCTION
To count the notes place them in between the guides at the rear of the
machine. The sensor will detect the notes and feed them through displaying
the number of notes counted on the Main Display.
2.2 BATCH FUNCTION
The BATCH function allows you to count a pre determined number of notes.
When in BATCH mode the BATCH LED will light up.
Press the [BATCH] key and the BATCH display will show 100, use the [+] key to
increase the amount by 1, and the [-] key to decrease the amount by 10 to the
figure that you require for each BATCH.
Place the notes into the guides at the rear of the machine and the counter will
feed through the required amount and stop. The Main display should display
and match that of the BATCH display with the correct amount of notes being
in the holder at the front of the machine.
When the notes are removed the counting automatically resumes and feeds
through the remaining notes until the required figure is met again. Remove
the second BATCH and continue until all of the notes are counted.
f there are not enough notes to reach the required amount for a BATCH the
Main display will display a flashing figure of how many notes have been
counted so far. Place more notes into the machine to continue until the
BATCH figure is reached.
Press the [BATCH] key to return to normal counting and the LED will go out.

4 Adam Equipment Company 2012
2.3 ADD FUNCTION
The ADD function allows you to accumulate and show a total number of notes
that are being counted as well as a count for each separate counting process.
When in ADD mode the ADD LED will light up.
Press the [ADD] key and the BATCH display will show 0.
Place the notes into the guides at the rear of the machine and the counter will
feed the notes through. The Main display and the BATCH display will both show
the same amount of notes that have been counted. The counter will continue
to work like this when more notes are added to the machine.
When the notes are removed from the holder at the front and the next amount
of notes are placed into the machine the BATCH display will reset to 0. Once
the notes have been fed through the BATCH display will show the quantity of
this last count only and the Main display will show the total of the two counts.
Continue like this until all of the notes are counted. When finished the Main
display will show you the total of all counting processes that have been made.
The BATCH display will always show the last quantity of notes counted from
when any previously counted notes have been removed from the holder at the
front of the machine.
Press the [ADD] key to return to normal counting and the LED will go out.
Note: ADD and BATCH can be enabled together.
n this case the counter will always stop when the required quantity is met and
then continue when the notes are removed from the holder at the front. The
Main display will accumulate all countings and give a total count at the end and
the Batch display will show the required Batch quantity.

5 Adam Equipment Company 2012
2.4 DUBIOUS NOTE DETECTION
The Magnetism (MG) and Ultraviolet (UV) functions are automatically enabled
on Power up, these functions detect counterfeit notes as the counting process
is performed.
The MG and UV LED’s will be on.
The degree of sensitivity for these can be set by the USER to customise how
they work.
Please see section 5.1 for more details.
When a counterfeit note is detected by the MG sensor the counting process
will stop, the counter will BLEEP and the error message E3 will be displayed
until the note is removed from the holder. Remove the counterfeit note and
press [START] to continue counting.
When a counterfeit note is detected by the UV sensor the counting process will
stop, the counter will BLEEP and the error message E2 will be displayed until
the note is removed from the holder. Remove the counterfeit note and press
[START] to continue counting.
The last note in the holder will always be the counterfeit one.
The MG and UV functions can be de activated by pressing the [MG] and/or [UV]
key once whereby the LED’s will go off.
Chain and half note detection are also enabled and have error codes to
determine which type of detection has been made.
When a detection for any of these have been made please note that the faulty
note will still have been included in the total count on the Main display.
Remove the faulty note and press [START] to resume counting.
Please see error code table in section 6.2 for more details.

5.0 SERVICE INFORMATION
Replacement of parts may be necessary when faults occur, the error codes in
table 4.1 help determine where some of the faults may lie and the following
information is a guide how to remove and replace them.
5.1 REPLACING THE FEED ROLLERS
Unscrew the note feeder adjusting screw as far as you can and pull hard
towards you on the note feeder assembly. The assembly should come
out exposing the feed rollers and assembly shaft. Pull the note feeding
guide upwards which should then also come out. Remove the two outer
covers by unscrewing the 5 x screws that attach each one. Remove the
circlip at each end of the shaft and push the shaft through to enable
easy removal of the feed rollers. Removing the large drive belt may also
make this easier to do.

9 Adam Equipment Company 2012
Pull to the side the damaged or worn feed roller from its mounting
wheel and off the shaft. Replace the rollers and make sure they are
firmly secured.
Reposition the shaft, replace both circlips and re fit the drive belt if
removed. Re fit the two side covers, note feeding assembly and guide.
5.2 REPLACING THE DRIVE BELTS
Remove the right side cover to expose the drive assemblies. Pull the old
drive belts from the wheels and replace with a new one making sure
that the drive belts are situated correctly on the wheels then replace
the cover.

10 Adam Equipment Company 2012
5.3 REPLACING THE MAIN PCB
Remove the left side cover to expose the MA N PCB and speed sensor
assembly. Disconnect all cables and remove the old MA N PCB and
replace with a new one, Re connect all cables to the PCB.
Unscrew the speed sensor and disconnect the cable from the PCB. Fit
the new sensor, fasten securely and re connect the cable to the PCB.
5.4 REPLACING THE DISPLAY PCB
Lift the handle and lean it towards the rear of the counter, then from
the rear lift the display housing towards the front. Remove the 5 x
screws to expose the display PCB. Remove the 6 x PCB fixing screws and
connector from the PCB and replace the PCB. Refit the cable connector,
screws and housing.

11 Adam Equipment Company 2012
5.5 REPLACING THE POWER PCB
Place the machine onto one side which will expose the service cover
panel, remove the 2 screws and the panel with the power PCB attached
will come away, remove the PCB cover and faulty PCB and replace with
a new one.
5.6 REPLACING SENSORS
When replacing a sensor the old one will need to be removed and the
new one fitted to the PCB or mounting. Various screws have to be
removed to gain access to the sensors.
The START sensor can be changed after removing the note feeder
assembly as explained in section 5.1
The BATCH sensor can be changed following the removal of the 2 x
screws on the front underside of the machine. The new sensor will have
to be fixed using hot melt glue.
The UV, MG and also the LEFT and R GHT sensors can be changed by
accessing them from the front and also from the top of the machine.
The display unit will need to be pulled forward to expose the top part
for access.
