VALUE MODE ("V" Models Only) Models S-1600V, S-1615V and S-1625V offer the Value Mode feature. This feature enables the operator to select a denomination on the control panel so the counting results are displayed in dollars. On these models, a VAL button is included on the control panel to the left of the ADD button.
COUNTERFEIT DETECTION Certain counter models contain a sophisticated counterfeit detection system (models S-1615 and S-1625). 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.
Depending on your usage level, your counter should be professionally cleaned and serviced periodically by your authorized Semacon distributor or it can be sent to the Semacon Service Center for a general preventative cleaning & maintenance service. Contact your distributor to determine the proper location for service.
