Startup and Self-Test
Turn on the power switch, located on the back of the counter. The display will appear as follows indicating
the unit is completing its self-test process and checking the sensors:
Then the display will appear as follows indicating the counter has successfully completed its self-test process
and is now in standby mode and ready to be used:
The counter has an automatic memory feature that remembers your previous settings.
If during the self-test startup process the machine encounters a problem, the counter will display an error
message similar to the following:
Please refer to the Malfunction Code List in Figure 9 to determine what the error code represents.
Error Codes During The Counting Process
During the counting process, when a suspect counterfeit banknote is detected or a feeding error occurs that
may affect the total count (such as a half note, chain note, skewed note, double note, etc.), the counter will
stop and the appropriate error code will be displayed. Please see the Error Code Lis t in Figure 10 to interpret
the meaning of any error codes.
Basic Counting Process
Place the banknotes in the hopper and the counter will auto-start the counting process. It will count the
banknotes in the hopper and display the count on the count display.
To continue counting, remove the counted banknotes from the stacker and place the next stack of banknotes in
the hopper. The counter will begin counting from zero again (if the machine is not in ADD mode).
If the banknotes in the stacker are not removed before placing additional banknotes in the hopper, the counter
will restart automatically and add the additional banknotes to the previous count.
Counterfeit Detection
Some of the counter models include a counterfeit detection system (models S-1115 and S-1125). While the
counterfeit detection features are designed to be as accurate as possible, they are specifically designed to
pinpoint suspect banknotes that are believed to have a high probability of being counterfeit. An alert to a
suspect counterfeit banknote does not assure nor guarantee that the banknote is counterfeit. Additionally,
while the counter is designed to detect potential counterfeit banknotes, there is always the possibility that an
actual counterfeit banknote may pass through the screening process undetected. The UV detection found in
models S-1115 and S-1125 is designed to inspect and scrutinize the banknote paper for potential counterfeit
properties while the MG detection found in model S-1125 is designed to inspect and scrutinize the banknote
ink for potential counterfeit properties. The combination of UV and MG detection capabilities found in model
S-1125 offers the greatest protection and has the highest probability of catching a suspect counterfeit
banknote.
