CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS The START button is used to restart the counting process after the machine stops during batch counting or after an error, and for manual feed mode. The number buttons are used for selecting the batch stop setting. In this mode, the counter will stop each time the batch stop setting is reached and the operator then removes the batch from the stacker.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW Startup 1) Turn on the power switch located on the back of the counter near the power socket. The display will read all 8’s, indicating that the unit is completing a self-check process and checking each sensor. 2) 0 will appear to indicate that the counter has successfully completed its self-diagnostic process and is now in standby mode and ready to be used.
MODES AND FUNCTIONS Add Mode Adding during count mode is performed by pressing the ADD button (green LED will light next to the button when activated). With this mode turned on, the machine will add the count for each stack of bills to the previous total. NOTE: Add mode can also be used when batching if the operator selects a batch stop setting while Add mode is activated.
COUNTERFEIT DETECTION Certain counter models contain a sophisticated counterfeit detection system (models S-1215 and S-1225). 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 on a regular basis 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.
