1 Main function
Sorting banknote counters PRO NEKSON are created for counterfeit checking of
Euro banknotes with the denomination detection function, for banknote sorting func-
tion on first denomination or adjusted denomination function, banknote face orien-
tation function, for adjusted sum counting function, and also for summing and batch
sorting functions.
Sorting banknote counters of PRO NEKSON series are able to scan the banknote’s
face on both sides, in Infra-Red RGB and white light. Counterfeit detection is pro-
ceeded by: scanning the face of banknote in 200 dpi resolution, RGB and White
light, by magnet point location, 12 MR channels, by the absence of UV luminescent
ion in 3 channels, density and shape control function, with the help of ultrasound
detectors. Reject pocket allows to count and sort banknotes non-stop.
The sorting banknote counters of PRO NEKSON series have banknote sorting
mode by currency issue**.
Main advantages and specifications of sorting banknote sorter PRO NEKSON:
- Mode of fitness sorting for EURO*
- Ability to count banknotes of different state, using ultrasound detectors
- Luminescent ion level control under UV detection with the length of luminescent
ion wave of 360-380 nm, while using regular UV detection (light absence of the ban-
knote under the UV detection with the wave length of 360-380 nm)
- Software update with a micro-SD or PC
- PC and printer connection, result screening mode**

Twin jacked banknotes: also can be suspicious banknotes, which did not pass the
check on optical density, or shape.
Error code for every banknote is reflected in system message in the right lower cor-
ner of the screen.
In the case of banknote getting into the reject pocket, the results are not sent into
the counter memory, so it is better to replace the banknotes out of the reject pock-
et into the hopper again, while counting or recounting. If the banknotes got out of
the reject pocket into the hopper again, place them into the hopper in other orien-
tation (another side). If these measures do not help, the banknote can’t be real, and
you have to use other methods of detection.

1. Adjust the following counting mode: Denomination-MIX, orientation-OFF
Only in this mode you can use pre-packing on adjusted sum.

In FITNESS sorting mode the sorter defines a physical condition of a banknote,
damages (UNFIT, TEAR, HOLE, STAIN), and also an adhesive tape on them
(TAPE). The SUITABLE banknotes will be counted and checked up on authenticity
and laid in STAKER. The UNFIT, suspicious and unrecognized banknotes will be
rejected in a REJECT POCKET.
It is allowed to recalculate the banknotes 1-2 times, because the notes may be
rejected as unrecognized or suspicious in case of an uneven scrolling cause of
actual physical banknotes conditions (Absolutely new, worn-out, creased)

12 Adjustment of the slot size and its correct setting
Necessary to remember! According to the thickness of counted banknotes, you
need to maintain the sensitivity level of density detection between upper and lower
insert rollers. Regulations are adjusted by a screw, placed on the upper panel of a
counter (picture 1-5) It is convenient to adjust the clearance using a coin. If you turn
it right, the clearance will decrease, if you turn left-increase.
It is important to remember, for different currencies, depending on the thickness of
the banknotes, you must correctly adjust the slot (Figure C position 4) between the
upper and lower feed rollers. Adjusting the feeder slot size is possible by using the
paper thickness adjustment screw (Fig. 1-5). Turn the screw counterclockwise to
decrease the feeder slot size and clockwise to increase the size. Adjusting the feed-
er slot size should be done smoothly, with adjustments of no more than 1-2 degrees
(1/5 division).The feeder slot should be larger for excessively worn banknotes, dirty
banknotes and USD. The feeder slot should be smaller for “new” banknotes and
EURO banknotes. If in the process of regulation the counter does often mistakes
such as CHAIN-IR or and DOUBLE, you should decrease the clearance.
- If adjusting the feeder slot size results in the sensor responding slowly, slow sep-
aration of joined banknotes, irregular stacking of banknotes, error MISS-IMAGE,
then the slot size should be smoothly increased.
To check whether the setting of the feeder slot is correct, it is necessary to run the
following steps:
