Getting Started
Counting A Cash Drawer
. Place the machine on a flat and stable surface
. Tilt display to desired angle
. Connect the weighing platform
. Connect the power supply to the machine, and then an outlet
. Hold the Clear button for two seconds to turn the unit on
. Language: use <and >to scroll through the language options, press OK to select
. Calibration: place the  g reference weight on the weighing platform, press OK
. The unit will turn itself o after initial calibration
. Hold the Clear button for two seconds to turn the unit on
. The unit will perform a short self-test before displaying the default count screen
Before powering on the RS , make sure that nothing is on the weighing platform. Hold the CLEAR button
for two seconds to turn the unit on.
The RS  will perform a short self-test before displaying the default count screen and standard counting
mode is activated. The counting process always starts with the lowest denomination of the selected currency.
The value of the denomination being weighed appears in the Unit/Reference eld. Weigh only the denomination
that appears on the display.
In the case of US currency, the rst denomination counted is pennies. Place the empty coin cup on the weighing
platform, then place your loose pennies directly into the cup.
Once the RS  registers the count and value of the pennies, remove the coin cup from the weighing platform
and empty it. The scale will automatically advance to the next denomination.
Repeat the process until all coin denominations have been counted.
After the last coin denomination has been counted, the RS  will start with the lowest denomination bill. In
the case of US currency, the  bill. Remove the coin cup from the weighing platform before counting any bills.
Place your  bills directly on to the platform, in small batches of no more than  to  bills at a time.
If you place too many bills on the scale at once, the message OVERLOAD REMOVE SOME BILLS will appear.
Remove some bills from the weighing platform until the error disappears. You don’t need to remove all the bills,
just enough to correct the error. The RS  can weigh up to  bills per denomination.
Once the count and value of the  bills have been registered, remove the entire stack of bills from the weighing
platform. The RS  will automatically move to the next denomination.
Repeat the process until all bill denominations have been counted.

Setup Menu and Features
The total value of the counted coins and bills will be displayed in the Amount/Sum area of the display. To see a
display of the quantity and total of each denomination counted, press <or >to scroll through the counting informa-
tion.
Your counting results can be printed with the optional RTP  report printer. With the printer attached and
powered on, press and hold the + button on the RS  until the word PRINTING appears on the display.
To clear your counting results and start a new count, press the CLEAR button. Counting results can not be
retrieved once they have been cleared.
NOTE: The RS  does not count . coins,  coins, or  bills.
NOTE: If your till or register has removable coin cups, you can place the lled cups directly on the scale for coun-
ting. A prior calibration of the cups is required before using your own cups. See the Setup Menu section below.
NOTE: Coin rolls can be added to the counting sequence by activating this feature in the Setup Menu.
The RS ’s many options and features can be accessed via the Setup Menu. Enter the Setup Menu by pres-
sing and holding down the <and >keys simultaneously, until the RS  beeps. Scroll through the options
with the <and >keys and interact with the selected option by pressing the OK button. To exit the Setup Menu,
press and hold the CLEAR key for two seconds.
COIN ROLL: The RS  can count rolls of coins when the COIN ROLL function is activated. The default setting
for COIN ROLL is OFF. To change the COIN ROLL setting, press OK when COIN ROLL is shown in the Setup
Menu. Press <or >to choose OFF or ON. Press OK to conrm your choice.
When the COIN ROLL function is activated, the coin roll symbol will show on the display after all denominations
of loose coins are counted. Remove the coin cup and begin placing coin rolls on the weighing platform, one roll
at a time. Wait for the scale to register each roll and emit an audible beep before placing the next roll on the
scale.
When you’re done counting coin rolls, remove them all from the scale in one movement. Removing the rolls one
at a time will create an error and force you to count the rolls again.
The RS  is designed to count coins packaged in standard coin wraps. If a roll has too many or too few
coins, is not packaged in a standard coin wrap, or has tape or any other debris attached to it, the message
SUSPECT CHECK ROLL will appear on the screen. Remove the non-conforming roll and correct the error.
Only penny, nickel, dime, and quarter rolls are supported.

Save the desired amount by pressing OK.
When the FLOAT function is activated, the counting process starts with a negative value, which is the chosen
FLOAT total (if the FLOAT is , the count will start at -). The weighed coins and bills are added to the
negative start value. When the amount of money in the till reaches or exceeds the FLOAT total, an audible tone
is emitted to signal that the till has reached the FLOAT total.
Activating the FLOAT function disables the use of REFERENCE weighing.
PACKAGES: The PACKAGES function allows you to set up the weight of your desired coin rolls or banknote
bundles. The standard weight of USD, CAD and MXN coin rolls is already saved.
To congure or change PACKAGES, press OK when PACKAGES is shown in the Setup Menu. Use <or >to choo-
se OFF, CONFIGURE or SEPARATE.
Setting PACKAGES to OFF will skip the coin roll/strapped bills mode in regular counting.
Choose CONFIGURE to set the quantity of coins and the weight of the wrapper or coin bag. Go to “Unit/Reference”
to select the desired coin denomination and conrm entry with OK. Press or to select the amount of coins that
will be in the package (Quantity) and conrm with OK. The weight of an empty standard paper coin roll (for USD
coins) will be automatically displayed. Conrm indicated weight with OK. Press <or >if you would like to indicate
a dierent weight for your paper roll/ bag. Place the lled roll or bag on the scale, listen for the weight to register
and conrm by pushing OK. Up to  pieces can be put in the package; setup is done in steps of  pieces.
For bill bundles and straps: Select the desired banknote value and the quantity of banknotes in a bundle as
indicated above. When “REFERENCE” is displayed, place the desired strapped bills on the scale and conrm
entry with OK.
Choose SEPARATE to setup the print receipt so it indicates coin rolls/bags and banknote bundles separately
from coins and banknotes. Activate this function by pressing OK. The PACKAGES function is then activated
and the results from the counted coin rolls/bags and strapped bills bundles will also be indicated in the print
receipt (apart from coins and banknotes).
To deactivate the SEPARATE function, go to PACKAGES and select ON. To deactivate the PACKAGES function,
go to PACKAGES and select OFF.
