3.4 Counterfeit Detection
There are four counterfeit detection methods: Illustration (Illus.), Infrared
(IR), Ultraviolet (UV), and Magnetic (MG). All four methods work together
at all times.
1) Illustration Detection
This method checks for the illustration feature on the banknote. If the
illustration is not detected the machine will alert with a triple beeping sound
and reject the banknote by ejecting it to the front of the machine. Also, the
Illus. error icon will flash on the display.
2) IR Detection
This method checks for the illustration feature on the banknote. If the
illustration is not detected the machine will alert with a triple beeping sound
and reject the banknote by ejecting it to the front of the machine. Also, the
Illus. error icon will flash on the display.
3) UV Detection
This method checks the banknote against an ultraviolet light source. If the
UV properties are not detected the machine will alert with a triple beeping
sound and reject the bill by ejecting it to the front of the machine. Also, the
UV error icon will flash on the display.
4) MG Detection
This method checks the banknote for magnetic ink properties. If the magnetic
ink is not detected the machine will alert with a triple beeping sound and
reject the bill by ejecting it to the front. Also, the MG error icon will flash on
the display.
