FCC Interference Statement
Warning
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has
been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A or Class B computing device pursuant to
Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference with radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by taking one or more of the following measures:
nReorient the receiving (radio/TV) antenna
nMove the sorter to the right or left with respect to the receiver
nMove the sorter away from the receiver
nPlug the sorter into a different outlet so that the sorter and receiver are on different branch circuits.
Warning: Only equipment certified to comply with the Class A or Class B limits may be attached to
this currency counter. Operation with noncertified equipment is likely to cause radio and TV recep-
tion interference.
Peripherals should be interfaced using only shielded cables to maintain FCC Class A or Class B certifi-
cation and to reduce the possibility of interference with radio and television reception.
Reference material
If this equipment does cause reception interference, the user should contact an authorized sales or
service representative for suggestions. Two booklets, the CIB Interference Handbook and the CIB Tele-
phone Interference Booklet are provided by the Compliance and Information Bureau of the Federal

Remote Batch Display is connected. The
procedure is discussed in the Programming
Section later in this Guide.

(audit trail) of all transactions.
Note: The Control must be “told” that a
Printer is connected. The procedure is

Introduction
CHECK FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
The Sorter and all options were thoroughly
tested after they were manufactured and
carefully packaged when they left the factory.
ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN
DONE IN SHIPMENT SHOULD BE
REPORTED TO THE CARRIER
IMMEDIATELY, AND THE SHIPPING
CARTON(S) AND PACKAGING RETAINED
FOR INSPECTION, IF NECESSARY.
CHECK FOR MISSING PARTS
Compare the items received against the original
order. Notify your Authorized Sales / Service
Representative of any discrepancies.
SECURE THE SORTER
(IF DESIRED)
The Sorter will sit on a countertop or tabletop. It
may be attached for security. A drilling guide is
shown in FIGURE #3.
Note: The distance from the front edge of
the countertop to the Sorter to be
determined at installation. Allow sufficient
clearance at the rear and right side of the
Sorter to allow the Inspection Pan room to
move freely throughout its travel range.
Screw length should be 3/4” (maximum) plus
the thickness of the countertop.
If bagging coin is desired, the Sorter must be
attached to its own stand as shown in
FIGURE #4.
Note: A Security Stand, utilizing a sliding
drawer configuration to protect the coins is
also available.
Contact your Authorized Sales
Representative for additional information.

Introduction
INSTALL COIN BAGS / COIN
DRAWERS
Unpack the Coin Drawers (if ordered) and slide
them into position. All Coin Drawers are
identical in size and shape. If you are bagging
coin, replace the Coin Drawers at those
locations with the Chute / Spout configuration.
To install a Coin Bag, lift the appropriate Ring
and slip the Bag over the Spout. Slide the Ring
down over the Bag to secure it in position with
the slot in the Ring facing forward.
Note: Depending on the length and
condition of the Coin Bag, folding the top
over to provide a double fabric thickness
may increase the holding capability of the
ring.
Rest the Coin Bag on the Stand Shelf to support
the weight of the coin.

Introduction
THE POWER CORD / SWITCH
Check the Power Cord supplied with the Sorter
to ensure compatibility with local requirements.
If a different plug connection is required, obtain
the correct Power Cord assembly locally.
Be sure the Power Switch (See FIGURE #7) is
in the “OFF” position, and then connect the
Sorter end of the Power Cord as shown in
FIGURE #8, and the opposite end to a properly
grounded AC outlet of the appropriate voltage.

Introduction
THE INSPECTION PAN / SHIELD
Lifting the corner as shown in FIGURE #9
allows the Pan to swing to the right and tilt
upward, transferring the coins to the Sorting
Disc. The second (next) batch of coins may
then be placed in the Pan and inspected while
the first batch is sorting. Returning the Pan to its
“rest” position quiets the sorting operation
considerably. If a Magnet is used, move the
Inspection Pan to the right before lifting so the
Magnet clears the Rear Housing / Printer. To
remove the Pan for access to the sorting area,
first close the Pan (“rest” position) then lift the
rear of the Pan up slightly and (if a Printer is
used) to the rear to remove, so that the Shield
will not contact the Printer Bracket. Notches in
the Inspection Pan allow addition of the Shield
(if desired) to prevent spillage when processing
large batches.

Note: Allow sufficient clearance at the rear
and sides of the Sorter to allow the
Inspection Pan free movement throughout
its travel range.
