6 Counterfeit detection
6.1. UV detection (for PRO 57UM/S and PRO-57U models)
The UV detector is designed for various currencies and all banknote types.
The counter automatically tests the UV reflection level of the banknotes. If the level is
incorrect, the device stops counting and “Eu” error is displayed. Suspicious banknotes
will always be placed on top of the output stack. Such banknote should be verified for
authenticity. Remember that original banknotes accidentally exposed to hostile environ-
ment can also have an incorrect UV-level.
Press “UV” button to switch on the mode. The backlighting LED will light up. The UV
detector functions in any counting operation mode.
6.2. Magnetic detection (for PRO 57UM/S model)
The magnetic detector is designed for EURO and USD detection.
The device automatically tests the presence of magnetic marks on the banknote. If there
are no MG marks, the counter stops counting and “En” error is displayed. Suspicious
banknotes will always be placed on top of the output stack. Such banknote should be
verified for authenticity.
Press “E$” button to switch on magnetic detector. The backlighting LED will light up.

The PRO 57 series operates differently than other types of counters. When banknotes
are passed through the device, they are drawn from the top of the stack, not from the
bottom. Special attention should be paid to the correct stacking of the banknotes before
attempting any operations.
-Banknotes should be placed in the hopper in a neat stack with the first bill facing up
-Banknotes should be placed into the hopper perpendicular to the tray. The notes should
then be leaned back flat against the tray. Banknotes will be loaded into the device auto-
matically
Wrong banknote position can cause errors, banknotes being ejected from the device,
crumpling or jamming.
-Place banknotes in the hopper
-The counter will count banknotes automatically
-The result will be indicated on the display
-Repeat operation up to Table 7.2., when necessary
-When counting is finished clear count display results by “START” or “CLR” button
If an error message occurs, see Table 8
7.3. Batch operation mode
(Counting mode for a specified number of banknotes).
- Enter a 2-digit number corresponding to the amount of banknotes to be calculated.
Press digital buttons (Fig. 2-7) to set the number of banknotes, that need to be counted
- Repeat from the beginning of Table 7.2.
- Remove banknotes from the stacker
- Add banknotes if necessary
- Press “CLR” button to clear display 2 after counting
- If an error occurs during counting, see Table 8
- Repeat from the beginning of Table7.3.
7.4. Summation mode
- Press “ADD” button and the LED indicator will light up
- Repeat operations up to Table 7.2.
- When there are no more banknotes in the hopper, remove banknotes from the stacker
- Put a new stack of banknotes into the hopper
- Repeat from the beginning, when necessary
- The display 1 will show the total result of counted banknotes
- In batch mode, display 2 shows the amount of counted banknotes in the last stack
- Clear count display by pressing “CLR” button when finished
- Press “ADD” button again to leave summation mode
- If an error occurs during counting, see Table 8
- Repeat up to Table 7.4.
8 Function settings and troubleshooting
8.1. Adjustment of the slot size
Remember! Adjusting the feeder slot size is possible by using the paper thickness
adjustment screw (Fig. 1-7) on the rear panel. Turn the screw counterclockwise to
decrease the feeder slot size and clockwise to increase the size. The feeder slot should

8
be larger for excessively worn banknotes, dirty banknotes and USD. The feeder slot
should be smaller for “new” banknotes. Adjusting the feeder slot size should be done
slowly and smoothly, with adjustments of 30 degrees.
If adjusting the feeder slot size results in the sensor responding slowly, slow separation
of joined banknotes, irregular stacking of banknotes, and/or an error “F-1” occurs, then
the slot size should be smoothly increased without exceeding a rotation of 30 degrees.
If adjusting the feeder slot size results in “Ed”, and/or “dd” error codes occurring fre-
quently, then the slot size should be smoothly decreased without exceeding a rotation of
30 degrees.
8.2. Change of settings of PRO 57 model
8.2.1. Changing the magnetic detection sensitivity level
Hold “E$” button for 4 seconds. “En” sign will be seen on the display 2. The main dis-
play will show the sensitivity level of the detector. Set the necessary level of sensitivity
from 0 to 9 (high sensitivity level) using digital buttons 0-9.
Press “START” button to enter a new figure in the data store and exit sensitivity level
change mode.
8.2.2. Changing the UV detection sensitivity level
Hold “UV” button for 4 seconds. “Eu” sign will be seen on the display 2. The main dis-
play will show the sensitivity level of the detector. Set the necessary level of sensitivity
from 0 to 9 (high sensitivity level) using digital buttons 0-9.
Press “START” button to enter a new figure in the data store and exit sensitivity level
change mode.
8.2.3. Changing the optical density sensitivity (banknote transparency)
It should be noted that a single stack of banknotes can contain bills with a wide range
of wear and tear, which results in the notes having different densities. A high sensitivity
level can be used to alert the operator when notes have different density due to wear
and tear or forgery. Hold “MUL” button for 4 seconds. “Ed” sign will be seen on the dis-
play 2. The main display will show the sensitivity level of the detector. Set the necessary
level of sensitivity from 0 to 9 (high sensitivity level) by using digital buttons 0-9. Press
“START” button to enter a new figure in the data store and exit sensitivity level change
mode.
Attention! New settings are stored for future use.
Remember! Wrong settings can cause failures and frequent error messages. Error
messages listed in Table 8.
Settings by default correspond to average values:
En=5 Eu=5 Ed=5 dd =4
8.3. Change of settings of PRO 55 model
Changing the optical density sensitivity (banknote transparency)
It should be noted that a single stack of banknotes can contain bills with a wide range
of wear and tear, which results in the notes having different densities. A high sensitivity
level can be used to alert the operator when notes have different density due to wear
and tear or forgery.
