6.3 Counterfeit Detection
The DOMENS Money Counter is equipped with multiple detection technologies to identify suspicious banknotes:
- UV (Ultraviolet) Detection: Checks for UV features on banknotes.
- MG (Magnetic) Detection: Detects magnetic ink patterns.
- MT (Magnetic Thread) Detection: Verifies the presence of magnetic security threads.
- IR (Infrared) Detection: Analyzes infrared patterns and bill thickness.

- Also includes Half-note, Chain-note, and Slope-note detection.
If a suspicious bill is detected, the LCD display will turn red and an audible alarm will sound.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DOMENS Money Counter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not power on. | Power cord not connected, power switch off, blown fuse. | Ensure power cord is securely connected. Turn power switch on. Check and replace fuse if necessary. |
| Bills jam frequently or are not feeding smoothly. | Bills are not neat/flat, incorrect loading, tension too loose/tight, dust/debris in sensors. | Straighten bills before loading. Refer to "Loading Bills Correctly" section. Adjust the feeding tension screw. Clean sensors and internal components. |
| Inaccurate counting results. | Bills not loaded correctly, worn rubber wheels, dirty sensors. | Ensure bills are loaded properly. Inspect and clean sensors. Check rubber wheels for wear and replace if needed. |
| Counterfeit detection alarm sounds frequently for real bills. | Bills are excessively worn, wrinkled, or damaged. | Ensure bills are in good condition. The machine may detect heavily worn or damaged real bills as suspicious. |
| Cannot count mixed denominations. | This model (DMS-1580T BV) does not support mixed denomination counting. | Separate bills by denomination before counting. Use "Value Counting Mode" for single denominations and "Add Mode" to sum totals. |
