UV Counterfeit Detection
Counterfeit bills often use white or bleached paper, which will glow under ultraviolet light. To use ultraviolet
counterfeit detection, press the "CF" button and then the "UV" button (#8 on the numeric keypad). Press the "CF"
button and then the "UV" button to disengage the UV function.
Magnetic Counterfeit Detection
If the magnetic detector does not find the presence of magnetic components that are standard in authentic bills, the
machine will stop counting to allow removal of the counterfeit bill. To use magnetic counterfeit detection, press the
"CF" button and then the "MG" button (#9 on the numeric keypad). Press the "CF" button and then the "MG" button to
disengage the MG function.
Infrared Counterfeit Detection
Most bills often have infrared markings. Infrared light is used to validate these markings. To use infrared counterfeit
detection press the "CF button" and then the "IR" button (#7 on the numeric keypad). Press the "CF" button and then
the "IR" button to disengage the IR function.
Dimensional Detection
The dimension detector measures the width of the center of each bill by using infrared light. If the detector finds an
odd-sized bill, the machine will stop counting to allow removal of the bill and display the error code on the preset
display. To use dimensional counterfeit detection, press the "DD" button. To adjust the DD level press the “DD” button
for 3 seconds, the display will show the current size (dd- -5). Press the numeric key 1 to 9 to adjust the level, 1 for
lowest, 9 for highest. After choosing the level number press the "RESTART" button to confirm. To disengage this
function press the "DD" button again.

MAINTENANCE OF THE MACHINE
WARNING: Before doing any dusting, turn the power switch off and disconnect the power cord from the machine. It is very
important to clean all the sensors in the machine with a soft brush to avoid any paper particles or dust from sticking to the
light transmitter or the light-receiver sensors. It is important to clean the inside of the machine occasionally. Unplug the
machine and lift the top cover to gain access to the interior.
If necessary, the glass surfaces of the detectors may also be wiped with a soft cloth damped with alcohol.
To get the best results out of your bill counter, Royal Sovereign recommends using Royal Sovereign Cleaning Cards
(RBC-CLN) to remove dirt, dusts, oils, and other contaminates from bill counters. With the machine on, simply run the
cleaning card through the machine like a bill. This cleaning card will run through and clean the sensors of dirt and other
contaminates. Cleaning cards are recommended to be used after every 100 cycles.
CAUTION: DO NOT CHANGE THE POSITION OF THE DETECTORS AND/OR OPTICAL SENSORS
