Overview

This document serves as a user manual for a multi-currency value counter, a machine designed for the fast, accurate, and reliable counting of banknotes. It aims to familiarize users with the product, optimize cash processing efficiency, and ensure a full understanding of safety information and operation sequences. The manual is intended for future reference.

Function Description

The multi-currency value counter is a sophisticated device primarily used for counting and processing banknotes. Its core function is to provide a fast, accurate, and reliable method for counting various currencies. Beyond simple counting, the machine incorporates robust counterfeit detection capabilities, ensuring the authenticity of processed banknotes. It supports multi-currency mixed counting and automatic currency identification, making it versatile for diverse financial environments. The device also includes denomination sorting, allowing it to organize banknotes based on their value. Furthermore, it offers serial number recognition, recording the unique serial numbers of counted banknotes for enhanced tracking and security. This functionality is available for several currencies, including USD, EUR, GBP, CNY, TRL, and IDR. The machine is equipped with an add function to accumulate counting results from multiple counts and a batch function to count a preset number of bills. Reporting and printing functions are also available, allowing users to generate and print receipts of counting results.

Usage Features

The machine boasts a convenient user-friendly interface with a touch control panel and a 3.5-inch TFT display, facilitating easy operation and navigation through its various modes and settings. It supports a multi-language interface, catering to a diverse user base.

Getting Started:

To begin using the machine, connect the power cable to both the machine and a power outlet. Switch on the machine using the power switch button. After a brief boot-up and self-test sequence, the machine will enter the main menu, ready for operation.

Placing Banknotes:

Proper placement of banknotes is crucial for accurate counting. Users should avoid counting wet, excessively dirty, or spoiled notes, as well as those that are torn, excessively spoiled, folded, or curved. Before placing notes, ensure they are free from foreign matter such as paper chips, rubber bands, clips, or dust. Folds or ends should be removed, and brand new notes, which may be slightly adhesive, should be spread and separated well. The banknote hopper guides should be adjusted to enclose the sides of the banknotes. Banknotes should be organized in a neat pile with a straight backside before being placed between the guides. The machine will automatically commence counting once banknotes are properly loaded.

Counting Modes:

The machine offers several counting modes to suit different needs:

  • Mix Mode (MDC - Mixed Denomination Count): This is the default mode upon startup. It allows users to count mixed denominations of banknotes. Upon completion, the total value and total number of banknotes are displayed, with a detailed report accessible via the "DETAIL" button.
  • Sort Mode (SDC - Single Denomination Count): In this mode, the machine counts the value and quantity of banknotes sorted by denomination. Any banknotes with denominations different from the first counted banknote will be rejected.
  • Count Mode (CNT): This mode simply counts the total number of bills without recognizing or recording their denominations. Counterfeit detection is not active in this mode.

Counting Start Mode:

The machine defaults to automatic counting mode, indicated by "AUTO" on the home screen, where it starts counting automatically. For manual counting, press the "A/M" button to turn off the "AUTO" indicator. In manual mode, the "RESTART" button must be pressed to initiate each count.

Batch Function:

The batch mode allows users to set a specific batch quantity. By default, pressing the "BATCH" button sets the batch number to 100, with subsequent presses cycling through 50 and 0. Batch numbers can be adjusted using the arrow buttons: "←" to increase by 10, "→" to decrease by 10, "↑" to increase by 1, and "↓" to decrease by 1. Press "ESC" to exit batch mode. In batch mode, the machine counts the preset number of bills and stops, automatically continuing to count new batches once the stacker is cleared.

Add Function:

Activated by pressing the "ADD" button, this function accumulates the counting results of multiple counts to a running total. An "ADD" icon on the home screen indicates its activation, and pressing the button again deactivates it.

User Menu:

Accessing the user menu by long-pressing the "MENU" button reveals options such as "Service Menu," "Version Information," "Current Time Setting," and "Select the language." Navigation is done using arrow buttons, with "MENU" to confirm and "ESC" to quit. The "Service Menu" requires a password (default 9999) and provides access to advanced settings like "Read Sensor Values," "CIS Calibration," "MG MT Waveforms," "Password Setting," "Auto Diagnostic," "PCS Counted and Reset," "Acquire CIS Image," "Detection Level," "IP Address," and "Back to Default Setting."

Adjusting Feeding Gap:

To address counting errors like double notes, chained notes, or slant notes, or if banknotes are not feeding smoothly, the hopper adjusting screw can be turned. Turning clockwise (+) increases the gap between the resistance wheel and the banknote twiddling wheel gear, which helps when notes are not feeding smoothly. Turning anti-clockwise (-) decreases the gap, useful for reducing double or chained notes. Only minor adjustments (per dot or half a dot) should be made at a time.

Collecting Image Data:

If a counterfeit banknote is not detected, users can collect its data. Insert a USB drive into the USB port, select "CNT" mode, set the speed to 800 bills/min, and count the banknotes. The machine will automatically save the data to the USB drive.

Software Update:

To update the software, first turn off the machine. Copy the new software version to a USB drive using a computer. Insert the USB drive into the machine's USB port and turn the machine on. The update will start automatically. Once complete, the display will indicate "Upgrade Finish, Restart Please."

Maintenance Features

Regular care and preventative maintenance are crucial for extending the machine's lifetime and avoiding operational problems.

General Cleaning:

  • Always turn off the machine and disconnect it from the power cord before cleaning.
  • Avoid using solvents such as thinner or alcohol.
  • Ensure no metal clips or rubber bands are present in the bills being counted.
  • It is recommended to use an air duster and a soft bristle brush to remove dust or debris from the interior.
  • When not in use for extended periods, cover the machine with a dust cover (not included) to prevent dust accumulation.

Sensor Cleaning:

  • All parts, especially delicate sensors, require daily care and cleaning. Adhering dust or foreign matter can cause various operational issues.
  • To prevent malfunctions caused by foreign objects, clean the machine daily.
  • Open the back cover and frequently clean the sensors with the provided bristle brush or a dry cloth.
  • Clean the top cover and CIS (Contact Image Sensor) with the provided bristle brush or a dry cloth frequently.

CIS Calibration:

The machine's CIS sensors are factory-calibrated, but their sensitivity can decrease with regular use, leading to image errors. To resolve this, the machine can be re-calibrated using the white calibration paper provided with the machine. This process is guided through the "CIS Calibration" option in the service menu.
