The EV8650 is a sophisticated currency counting and processing machine designed for efficiency and accuracy in handling banknotes. It features a comprehensive display and control panel, offering various modes of operation, speed adjustments, and maintenance features to ensure optimal performance.

Function Description

The device primarily functions as a banknote counter, capable of operating in different modes to suit various user needs.

Counting Modes:
- COUNT MODE (PIECE Cnt): This is the basic counting mode where the machine counts pieces of paper without attributing any monetary value. It's useful for simply tallying the number of items.
- VALUE MODE (dEntVAL): In this mode, the machine counts pieces of paper and displays the total as a monetary value. The user must input a denominational value, and the machine will calculate the total value based on the count and the entered denomination. This mode is particularly useful for quickly processing batches of notes of the same denomination.
Batch Settings: The EV8650 supports batch counting, allowing users to set a predefined number of notes to be counted in each batch. Pre-set batch sizes include 100, 50, 25, 20, 10, and 5. There's also an "OFF" setting for continuous counting. Users can also input custom batch quantities using the arrow keys if their desired number is not among the presets. The machine automatically stops once the set batch size is reached.
Speed Adjustment: The device offers a range of pre-set speeds (SPEED 1 to SPEED 5) to accommodate different qualities of banknotes. SPEED 1 is the slowest, suitable for very delicate or worn notes, while SPEED 5 is the fastest, ideal for new or mint-condition notes. Users can cycle through these speeds using the SPEED key or select a specific speed using the arrow keys.
Detection Aids: The EV8650 incorporates several detection aids to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the notes being counted. These include:
- Long/Short Edge Detection: Helps identify notes that are torn or improperly cut.
- SMDS (Suspect Note Detection System): Used for denominating notes and identifying potential counterfeits.
- Infra Red Detection: A common method for counterfeit detection, often used to verify security features.
- Magnetic/MTD (Metallic Thread Detection): Detects magnetic ink and metallic security threads embedded in banknotes.
- UV/PPD (Ultra Violet/Paper Property Detector): Utilizes UV light to detect security features and assess paper properties, helping identify counterfeits.

Usage Features

The EV8650 is designed for user-friendly operation with clear visual feedback and intuitive controls.

Display and Control Panel: The front panel features an alphanumeric display (88888 888) for showing batch quantity, count figures, and various status indicators.
- Batch Display: Shows the current batch quantity, defaulting to 100 in count mode. If set to OFF, no zeros are displayed.
- Bar: A visual indicator visible in Count & Batch mode, but not in Value Mode or when Batch is OFF.
- Count Display: Shows the current count and value count figures.
- Size: Indicates if Long/Short Edge Detection is active or if SMDS is being used for denomination.
- CnS (Connect Status): Visible when the machine is connected to a PC (2620 Protocol only) or when the keypad is locked/busy.
- Auto Start: Indicates if the auto note start function is active.
- Infra Red, Magnetic/MTD, UV/PPD: Icons illuminate when their respective detection aids are active.
Mode Selection: Users can easily switch between counting modes by pressing the MODE key. The current mode is displayed, and pressing MODE again toggles between available options. The START/STOP key returns to the counting display.
Auto Start Functionality: When AUTO is selected, the machine automatically begins counting once notes are placed in the feed hopper. If AUTO is not selected, counting can be initiated manually by pressing the START/STOP key.
Error Messages: The machine provides clear error messages on the display to guide users in troubleshooting. Examples include:
- CLEAR: Sensors are obscured by notes or dirt.

- HALF: A half note detected.
- JA: Notes jammed in the transport.
- dEn: A note of a different size detected.
- CF: Counterfeit suspect note detected.
- rFEEd: Note handling problem.
- tAbLE: Invalid denominational sized note.
- LAST: Note from previous bundle left in transport.
- GuLP: Three or more notes passed together.
- OVEr: Higher value dispensed than requested (in value mode).
- FAULT: A fault detected in the machine.
- CLEAN: Dust obstructing sensors.
- CLEAn add/dEt: Dirt on double detect bearings/rollers or detectors.
- Lid: Top of machine opened.
- nEAr: Dispense amount cannot be completed (in dispense mode).
- n_rdY det: Selected detector failed to start.
Note Guides: These adjustable guides help keep notes aligned as they are fed into the machine, improving performance and reducing jams. They should be adjusted according to the size of the notes being processed.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the EV8650's longevity and accurate performance. The machine is designed with features that facilitate easy cleaning and access to internal components.

Detector Box / Note Path Access: Two release buttons, when pressed simultaneously, allow the detector box to be opened, providing access to the note path. This access is essential for:
- Cleaning sensors.
- Removing excess dust.
- Cleaning counterfeit detection aids.
- Cleaning rollers.
- Removing jammed notes.
Feed Gap Adjustment: An adjuster wheel with graduated lines controls the feed gap, which is the space through which notes pass. This adjustment is critical for handling different note conditions:
- New or Mint Condition Notes: May require a smaller feed gap (lower setting, e.g., 1).
- Thin or Poor Condition Notes: May require a larger feed gap (higher setting, e.g., 4).
- Average Condition Notes: A specific procedure is outlined for setting the feed gap for average notes: turn rubber rollers until the ridged portion is uppermost, then move the adjuster wheel downwards one click until resistance is felt when moving the ridged portion, and finally move it upwards three clicks.
- Proper feed gap adjustment helps prevent misfeeds and improves counting accuracy.
Cleaning Procedures: The device's error messages often prompt specific cleaning actions. For instance, "CLEAN" indicates that the machine needs internal cleaning, while "CLEAn add" or "CLEAn dEt" suggests cleaning specific components like double detect bearings, rollers, or detectors. The user manual provides detailed instructions for these cleaning procedures.
Troubleshooting Guidance: The display messages serve as a first line of troubleshooting, guiding users to resolve common issues such as jammed notes, dirty sensors, or incorrect settings, often without requiring professional intervention.
