Switching on the device
If you inte nd to use additional
external devices ( ,DORS 10 DORS
15 DORS 1010 DORS 1020, , ) in
course of the work with DORS 1200
they should be connected to appro-
priate jacks on the rear panel before
you connect device to the mains.
Television magnifiers andDORS 1010
DORS 1020 should be connected to
V1 or V2 jacks. Optical magnifier
DORS 10 andvisualizerof magne-
ticand should beIR marks DORS 15
connected to M1 or М2 jacks.
To begin the work with the device it
is necessary to connect the supplied
AC adapter to the PWR jack on the
rear panel of the device and plug the
power cord into power supply 100 -
240 V 50/60 Hz. The indicator near~
the Power button should turn red infor-
ming that the device is in standby
mode. Then switch the device on by
short-term pressing Power button. At
the moment of the first switching on all
indicators on the front panel come on
f o r a s h o r t p e r i o d ( t o t e s t t h e i r
operability) and the device switches to
the mode of verify¬ing IR marks in the
reflected light.
: After 10, 30 or 60 minutesRemark
after last pressing of any button the
device automatically switches to
standby mode (auto power off fun-
ction). When the device is switched on
next time it comes to the mode it was
in during the last operation.
You can select the appropriate
operation mode by means of the
corresponding buttons on the front
panel of device. The purposes of
buttons are described below.
1. Power button. Short-term
pressing of the button turns device
on if it was in standby mode (the
indicator near the Power button
was glowing). Long-term (more
than 1 second) pressing of the
Power button turns the switched-
on device into standby mode. At
t h i s m o m e n t a l l i l l u m i n a t i o n
-sources and LCD monitor are tur
-ned off. External devices connec
ted to V1 and V2 jacks are also
-switched off jacks and power con
sumption of the device becomes
-minimal. External devices con
nected to M1 and М2 jacks are not
cut off and should be switched off
separately.
2. Sleep button (auto power off).
Setting the time for switching to
standby mode. It is possible to set
4 modes of operation: auto power
off not activated, auto power off
after 10 minutes, auto power off
after 30 minutes, auto power off
after 60 minutes. Switch to the
next mode is performed cyclically
by pressing of the Sleep button.
Red color indicator shows the cur
r e n t o p e r a t i o n m o d e . I f a u t o
power off is not acti v ated the
indicator is not glowing. In other
case during the process of setting
t h e a u t o p o w e r o f f t i m e i n
10/30/60 minutes the indicator
glows in the following sequence:
1 blink/pause - 2 blinks/ pause - 3
blinks/pause and after several
seconds it starts glowing continu-
ously.
3. +/-Contrast buttons (contrast
adjustment). Stepping-up and
correspondingly stepping-down
contrast of the image on the LCD
monitor. The corresponding button
-should be pressed and kept pres
sed until the required contrast of
the image is achieved.At this
moment Power indicator is blinking
-that confirms the adjustment pro
-cess. In case of short-term pres
sing of the or button step-by-+ -
step fine contrast adjustment is
performed.
4. +/-Brightness buttons (brightness
adjustment). Stepping-up and
correspondingly stepping-down
brightness of the image on the
LCD monitor. The corresponding
button should be pressed and
kept pressed until the required
-brightness of the image is achie
v e d . A t t h i s m o m e n t P o w e r
indicator is blinking that confirms
the adjustment process. In case
of short-term pressing of the or+
--button step-by-step fine bright
ness adjustment is performed.
5. DW button (double wavelength/
" "-mark). After pressing thisM
button the device is switched to
mode when illumination turnsIR
from 940 nm to 850 nm and back
every 0.4 second. If the object to
be verified possesses so called
" " marks this will cause theirM
clearly noticeable twinkling. At
this mode red color indicator near
the DW button starts to glow.

10 11
Remark: If the device was in the
mode of verifying UV marks or
banknote in transmitted white light,
the luminescent tubes are turned
off, because it is impossible to
perform this type of verification
with these tubes in background.
This type of verification also is not
possible if direct sunlight or light of
powerful incandescent lamps falls
on the banknote inside the device.
Repeated pressing of the DW
button switches off the mode and
the DW indicator goes down.
6. UV button (ultraviolet tube). By
pressing this button UV tubes in
the upper part of the device are
switched on providing possibility to
verify UV marks on objects placed
inside the device and simulta-
neously observe IR marks (if there
are such) on the LCD monitor of
the device. At this mode blue color
indicator near the UV button starts
to glow. If the indicator is blinking it
means failure of UV tubes or incor-
rect operation of the device.
Repeated pressing of the UV but-
ton switches off the UV tube and
indicator goes down.
If the UV is pressed theRemark:
DW mode and the mode of white
lower or white upper illumination (if
they were turned on) are turned off.
7. DL button (daylight lamps). This
button switches on and off the
upper and lower white illumination.
The first pressing of the DL button
turns on the upper white illumi-
nation. The next pressing turns on
the lowertube of diffused white
li g ht . At th is mo de bl ue c o lo r
indicator near the DL button turns
on. If the indicator is blinking it
means failure of the tube or incor-
rect operation of the device. And,
finally, the next pressing of the
button turns off both the sources of
white light.
pressing of the DL buttonRemark:
switches off UV illumination mode
(if it was switched on). Turning on
the lower white tube switches off
the DW mode (if it was switched
on).
8. Input select button (selection of
the video signal source). The
device has three sources of video
signal: internal black-and-white
camera with IR filter (Int) and two
-video inputs V1 and V2. By pres
sing the Input select button the
sources are altered cyclically in the
following sequence: lnt/V1/V2.
When the television magnifier
DORS 1010 DORS 1020or is
connected to input V1/V2 the best
way to switch on the required
source is pressing the control
button on the magnifier. Further
-pressings of the button will cycli
cally alter sources of illumination in
the magnifier. For theDORS 1010
sequence is the following:
white/IR, and for -DORS 1020
white/IR/UV. Selection of the next
signal source is accompanied by
glowing of indicator near the name
of the source. V1/V2 indicators are
three-color indicators that show
the source selected for the lens
-illumination. Simultaneous glow
-ing of green, blue and red indica
tors corresponds to white light.
Red or blue glowing of indicator
-means IR or UV illumination res
pectively. UV - blue indicator is
glowing. Selection of video inputs
doesn't affect the operation of the
upper UV and upper or lower white
illumination.
Verification of UV marks
Place the object to be verified on
the object table of the device. Switch
on the device. Switch on UV illumi-
nation by short-term pressing the UV
button. At this moment blue color
indicator near the UV button should
start to glow. Observe UV marks on
the object. You can also verify simu-
ltaneously several objects (e. g. bank-
notes) arranged like fan by placing
them inside the device. If you want
verify UVand IR mark simultaneously
you ought to select input Int using the
Input select button. In this case UV
marks can be observed directly on the
surface of the object and IR marks can
be seen on the screen of the LCD
monitor.
Verification of IR marks
Place the object to be verified on the
object table of the device. Switch on
the device. Select the internal IR
camera of the device as the source of
video sig¬nal using the Input select
button (green indicator near Int note
should turn on). If it required, adjust
brightness and contrast of the image
on the screen of the LCD monitor
using Brightness +/- and Contrast +/-
buttons. Observe the location of IR
mark s on the sc reen of t h e LCD
monitor.
Remark: Setting levels of contrast and
brightness are recorded and used by
default till the next adjustment.
Verification of "M" marks
Place the object to be verified on
the object table of the device. Direct
sunlight or light from the powerful
incandescent lamps should not fall on
the object inside the device.
Otherwise the observation of the
mark will be difficult or impossible.
Switch on the device. Select the
internal IR camera of the device as the
source of video signal using the Input
select button (green indicator near Int
note should turn on). Select the dual
wavelength mo d e by short-term
pressing of the DW button (red color
indicator near the DW note should
start glowing). If it required adjust
brightness and contrast of the image
on the screen of the LCD monitor. "M"
marks should clearly twinkle with an
interval of about 0.4 seconds. The
dual wavelength mode is switched off
by the next short-term pressing of the
DW button (the DW indicator should
go down).
Verification in the white oblique
light
Place the object to be verified on
the object table of the device. Switch

Size verification
Using the scale applied on the matt
glass of the device you can check both
the dimensions of the banknotes and
accuracy of separate marks' location
on them.

on the device. Switch on the source of
the upper white light by pressing the
DL button. Observe the object. This
mode is very convenient for observing
the latent images on the Russian rub-
les and other currencies. A point-type
LED source is used for the upper
white illumination in the device, so it is
not recommended to look directly at
the source of light hidden behind the
fairing of the device. The next pres-
sing of the DL button will turn on the
lower source of the diffused white
light, and, finally, one more pressing of
the button turns off both the sources of
white illumination.
Verification of banknotes in
white transmitted light
and IR light
Place the object to be verified on
the object table of the device. Switch
on the device. By two short-term pres-
sings of the DL button switch on the
source of the lower diffused white light
(blue color indicator near the DL note
should start glowing). Observe the
object. This mode is very convenient
for verifying watermarks and imprin-
ted metallized stripes with drawing,
etc. I f y ou sele ct the in t ernal I R
camera as a source of video signal
you can see on the screen of the LCD
monitor the IR image of the banknote
in transmitted white light. It makes
possible to observe water marks and
markings on the metallized stripes
with better contrast. This mode is very
convenient for verification of Euro
banknotes.
The next pressings of the Select
button on the magnifier select the
required illumination source. The
DORS 1010 magnifier has two sour-
ces of illumination - , andwhite and IR
the magnifier - three -DORS 1020
white IR UV, and . Color of the video
input indicator on the control panel of
device shows the source of illumi-
nation. Simultaneous glowing of blue,
green and red indicators corresponds
to the white illumination. Red indicator
glowing corresponds to IR illumina-
tion. Blue indicator glowing corres-
ponds to UV illumination.Also you can
switch the device to observation of
picture from internal IR camera by
pressing Input select button.

Magnetic verification:
1. DORS 15When using visualizer
the device can be in any operation
mode.
2. The banknote to be checked and
the device should be placed on a
special mat for verification (provi-
ded in the delivery set of DORS 15).
3. DORS 15Switch on by pressing
any button.
By sho rt-t e rm pre ssin g of t h e
4. Select button select magnetic
verification mode (the button has
green illumination). Put DORS 15
on the banknote in such way that
the area to be checked is under the
sensor. Move the sensor along the
area to be checked and determine
the places of sensor's activation
and non-activation. Sound signal
and glowing indicator inform you
about sensor's activation. Sound
signal can be switched on and off at
-any moment of work. For this pur
pose it is necessary to press and
keep pressed for 2 seconds the
Volume button.
The places of sensor's activation
are magnetic, non-activation - non-
magnetic. In this way location of
magnetic and non-magnetic colors
of the text and drawing is detected
with high accuracy.
5. The received data should be com-
-pared with the location of mag netic
marks on the authentic banknote.
Warning.
The magnetic sensor of DORS 15
-is very sensitive that is why pre
-sence of switched on mobile pho
nes in the range of 2.5 m from the
visualizer may cause false sensor's
activations.
6. DORS 15If was not in use within
-one hour it is automatically switch
ed off.
Remark: If magnetic marks are not
clearly detected during verification
it is necessary to adjust the sensiti-
vity of the sensor. It happens due to
highly scattered magnetic charac-
teristics among the banknotes of
various currencies. Besides this
the banknotes of the same type
may also significantly differ from
each other due to technological
printing peculiarities and due to
banknote's wearing and blotting in
the process of circulation.
If you want to adjust the sensitivity
of the sensor select the required
level of sensitivity by pressing the
Volume button. At this moment red
color illumination of the Volume
button corresponds to the highest
sensitivity, yellow color illumination
- to medium and green color - to the
lowest one. On default at the mo-
ment of switching on the visualizer
switches to the mode it was opera-
ted before the last switching off.
If activates in the areasDORS 15
where shouldn't be any magnetic
marks repeat verification with mini-
mal level of sensitivity. If the device
keeps being activated at the non-
magnetic areas of the banknote or
non-activated at the magnetic are-
as, the banknote may be counter-
feit and it should be verified for the
presence of other features. If the
problem disappears, the banknote
is considered to be authentic but
probably, with printing defects.
The top level of sensitivity is recom-
mended for verification of worn-out
banknotes with insufficient magnetic
effect: the Russian rubles, Euro, US
Dollars, etc.
Ma g ne tic s ens or o f D OR S 15
reliably reacts even on the types of
protection using conductive (including
semi-con-ductive) as well as special
magnetic materials that don't activate
conventional magnetic detectors.
This feature of the magnetic sensor
as well as its high sensitivity should be
taken into account to avoid false acti-
vations. Don't touch the sensitive ele-
ment and metal parts of the device;
avoid mechanical impacts on the
sensor.
Infrared verification:
1. DORS 15When using visualizer
the device can be in any operation
mode.
2. DORS 15Switch on by pressing
any button.
3. Put the device on the banknote in
-such way that the area to be chec
ked is under the sensor.
4. By sho rt-te r m pres s ing of t h e
Select button select IR verification
-mode (the button has red illumi
nation). Move the sensor along the
area to be checked and determine
the places of sensor's activation
and non-activation. Sound signal
and glowing indicator inform you
about sensor's activation. Sound
signal can be switched on and off at
-any moment of work. For this pur
pose it is neces-sary to press and
keep pressed for 2 seconds the
Volume button. Places of sensor's
activation correspond to contrast
areas in IR band, places of non-
activation - to non-contrast.
5. -The received data should be com
-pared with the data of the authen
tic banknote.
6. DORS 15If was not in use within
-one hour it is automatically switch
ed off.
Remark: If IR marks are not clearly
detected during verification it is
necessary to adjust the sensitivity
of the sensor. For this purpose
-select the required level of sensiti
vity by short-term pressings of the
Volume button. The sensitivity level
can be detected according to the
color of the button illumination (see
-the " " paragMagnetic Verification
raph). If there are activations on the
points where it shouldn't happen
-you ought to decrease the sensiti
-vity; if activation is not enough ac
tive in the contrast zones you ought
to increase the sensitivity. The
necessity to adjust the sensitivity is
caused by a wide scatter of this
protective feature among the bank-
notes of different currencies.
Besides this the banknotes of the
same denomination may also signi-
ficantly differ from each other due
to technological printing peculiari-
ties and due to banknote's wearing
and blotting in the process of circu-
lation.
Switch off visualizer byDORS 15
pressing the Select button and
keeping it pressed for 3 seconds.

Switching the device off
When keeping the Power button
pressed for a long time (more than 1
second) the device is changed over to
standby mode when power consum-
ption is minimal. The operator should
decide whether to unplug the device
from the mains or to keep it connec-
ted. It is useful only in case of long-
term (more than several days) device
stan- ding-by. If the "Sleep" mode is
activated (red color indicator glows
near the "Sleep" note) the device will
automatically switch off after preset-
ted period since the last pressing of
any button. One minute before switch-
ing off the standby mode indicator will
start blinking, and the process of
switching off can be postponed by
pressing any button (e.g. short-term
pressing of the Power button).
The device should be stored in the
manufacturer's package in heated
storehouses under the temperature
from +5°C to +40°C and relative air
humidity not exceeding 80% at +25°C.
The device may be transported in
the manufacturer's package (for not
more than 30 days) by truck or railway
trans port in containers or house cars-
or by air transport in the pressured
compart ments under the tempera- -
ture from -30°C to +50°C, relative air
humidity not exceeding 98% at +25°C
and pressure from 84 to 107 kPa (630
to 800 mm Hg).
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. The device is not switched on (the
standby mode indicator doesn't
glow).
Check that adapter is connected to
the mains and that low-voltage
power cord of the adapter is con-
nected to the device.
2. The UV or DL indicator is blinking.
Probably the luminescent tube cor-
responding to the indicator has
blown off or the device operates
incorrectly. It's necessary to con-
tact service center (tube replace-
ment requires partial disassem-
bling of the device). The power sup-
ply circuit of device makes service
term of tubes much longer but not
unlimited.
3. When working with television mag-
nifier it is impossible toDORS 1020
switch on the ultraviolet illumina-
tion.
Probably the magnifier was con-
nected to the already switched on
device and was not identified cor-
rectly. Switch the device to standby
mode and then switch it on again.
4. There is no picture from the exter-
nal television magnifier / there is no
switching to the corresponding
video input by pressing the Select
button on the magnifier.
Probably the pin is not completely
inserted in the V1/V2 jack of the
device. Put the pin deep into the
jack till it stops.
Flashes in tubes within 120 hours since work starts are not defects.
