6.1 Basic Counting

  1. Ensure the machine is powered on.
  2. Prepare the notes: Ensure notes are neatly stacked, free from excessive creases, tears, or foreign objects. For best results, align the notes uniformly.
  3. Place the stack of notes into the hopper. The machine will automatically begin counting.
  4. The count will be displayed on the LCD screen.

Note: This machine accurately counts the number of notes for NEW INR ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹200, ₹500 & ₹2000. It is not a mix note counter and does not calculate the value of mixed denominations; it only counts the number of notes.

6.2 Fake Note Detection

The GB-5388-MG features advanced counterfeit detection using UV (Ultraviolet) and MG (Magnetic) properties. The machine automatically scans for these properties present in genuine notes.

If a non-genuine note is detected, the LCD display will change to RED, and the machine will stop counting, indicating a suspicious note. Remove the suspicious note and resume counting.

6.3 Add and Batch Functions

The machine includes 'Add' and 'Batch' functions for enhanced efficiency:

  • Add Function: Allows the machine to accumulate the total count of multiple batches of notes. Press the 'Add' button to activate this mode.
  • Batch Function: Enables the machine to stop counting once a preset number of notes is reached. Use the 'Batch' button and numerical keys to set the desired batch size.

6.4 Single Denomination Value Count

This feature allows you to calculate the monetary value of a single denomination at a time:

  1. Prepare a stack of notes of a single denomination (e.g., ₹500 notes).
  2. Set the denomination you want to count by selecting the appropriate 'VALUE' setting (e.g., VALUE=500).
  3. Count the notes. The machine will display the total monetary value for that specific denomination.
