GETTING STARTED
2.
2.1 Powering Up
IMPORTANT: Before turning on KCS-2000, make certain no coins are present in the
coin hopper. This will cause an “EA” error when the KCS-2000 self-test is
performed. To clear the “EA” error, press the “START/STOP” button, then
empty any coins present in the coin trays
Plug the power cord attached to the KCS-2000 into a three-prong outlet. Turn on the
power switch located on the rear of the unit. The machine will conduct a self-check. The
main display will show “0” when the test has successfully completed
2.2 Counting
The KCS-2000 always operates in a batching mode by default. To enable simple
counting, all batch quantities need to be set to zero. To set batch quantities to zero,
press and hold the “-” button for approximately three seconds until “C” is displayed on
the left of the LED display.
• Before loading the hopper, make sure there are no uncounted coins remaining in it
from the previous count.
• To count coins, place them into the hopper and press the “START/STOP” button.
• The KCS-2000 will start counting and will automatically sort all coins into the
appropriate coin trays.
• The machine will automatically stop when all coins in the hopper are counted, or if the
batch quantity for any coin denomination is reached.
• To stop the machine, press the “START/STOP” button.
• To resume counting, press the “START/STOP” button.
• When a coin tray becomes full, stop the machine and empty the tray to ensure correct
machine operation. Stopping the machine will not alter or reset the count. You can
continue counting by pressing the “START/STOP” button.
• As it counts, the KCS-2000 will automatically display the total value of counted coins
on the screen.

• To view the value of coins counted for each denomination press the “REPORT” button.
The denomination will appear on the left and value of coins counted on the right part of
the screen. To display the number of coins counted, press the “+” button.
While in the report mode, pressing the “+” button will switch the display between value of
coins counted or number of coins counted. The KCS-2000 will remember the last setting
chosen for the report display.
• To reset the coin count before starting a new batch, press the “C” button
2.3 Adding
The KCS-2000 operates in ADD mode by default. In ADD mode, the coin count is added
to the count from previous batches. To start a new count, press the “C” button. This will
reset the coin count to zero.
2.4 Setting Batch Quantities
You may batch the desired quantity of each coin denomination. Each denomination can
be assigned a batch quantity.
1. Setting batch quantities for coin rolls
• Press and hold the “+” button for approximately three seconds until “L” is shown in
the display. This automatically programs each coin denomination for bank coin roll
amounts as follows:
7
Denomination Quantity
$1 25
25¢ 40
10¢ 50
5¢ 40
1¢ 50
Denomination Quantity
$1 100
25¢ 350
10¢ 900
5¢ 450
1¢ 300
2. Setting batch quantities for coin trays
• Press and hold the “SET” button for approximately three seconds until “H” is shown
in the display. This automatically programs each coin denomination for coin tray
amounts as follows:
3. Setting other batch quantities
• Press the “SET” until the desired denomination appears on the left part of the screen.
• To assign a batch quantity for this denomination press the “BAT” button until a desired
batch quantity appears on the display
• (0, 10, 20, 25, 50, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500). Fine adjustments to batch
quantity can be made by pressing “-“ or “+” button.
• Repeat this procedure to set the desired batch quantities for other
coin denominations.

To use the coin tube attachments, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the coin tray(s) for the denomination coins that will be using coin tubes.
2. Insert the appropriate preformed paper wrapper completely into the tube with the
crimped side on the bottom.
3. Ensure that the wrapper shape is round, and the upper tip is not bent over so coins
can easily fall into the tubes.
4. Secure the coin tubes to the KCS-2000 by gently sliding each tube into the proper slot
in the base of the machine.
5. Set coin roll batch quantities (see section 2.4) for each coin denomination by
pressing and holding the “+” button for approximately three seconds until “L” is
shown in the display. This programs each coin denomination for standard bank
coin roll sizes.
6. Load coins into the coin hopper and press the “START/STOP” button. The KCS-2000
will automatically dispense the correct number of coins into each coin tube.
7. When the number of dispensed coins equals the batch quantity for any
denomination, the KCS-2000 will stop and display a message on the control panel.
For example, after the rst batch of 50 pennies has been counted, the front panel
will display:
1c50 (quantity reporting)
or
1c0.50 (value reporting)
Note: When operating in batch mode, the KCS-2000 will keep a running total for each
denomination coin. For example, after four batches of 50 pennies have been dispensed,
the KCS-2000 will stop and display:
1c200 (quantity reporting)
or
1c2.00 (value reporting)
8. Remove the full coin tube from the KCS-2000 and slide out the paper wrapper
containing the coins. Crimp the open end of the wrapper. Insert and empty wrapper in
the coin tube and reinstall the coin tube.
9. Press the “START/STOP” button to continue batching.

3. Attach the coin tubes to the KCS-2000 by gently sliding each tube into the proper slot
in the base of the machine as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
