The Royal Sovereign RCD-1500 is a countertop ultraviolet counterfeit detector designed to help users identify fraudulent currency and documents. Its primary function is to expose security features that are visible under ultraviolet (UV) light, allowing for quick and efficient verification of authenticity.
Function Description:
The RCD-1500 operates by emitting ultraviolet light onto bills, IDs, and other documents. Genuine currency and documents often incorporate security threads, holographic images, and other markings that fluoresce or become visible under UV light. The device features a detection plate where items are placed, and UV LED lights illuminate them from above. A detection guide located at the top of the machine assists users in identifying authentic US bills by illustrating the expected locations of these UV-sensitive markings. This makes it suitable for use with a variety of items including driver's licenses, passports, credit cards, traveler's checks, birth certificates, US currency, and other documents with ultraviolet markings. The process involves placing the item on the detection plate and observing for glowing security threads or holographic images.
