4. Operating Instructions
This section details the various operating modes and functions of your money counter.
4.1 Basic Counting
- Ensure the machine is powered on and in "AUTO" mode (default).
- Place a stack of bills neatly into the Hopper (1). Ensure bills are aligned and not folded or crumpled.
- The machine will automatically start counting. The count will be displayed on the Front Display (5) and the External Display (13).
- Once counting is complete, remove the counted bills from the Stacker (7).
4.2 Operating Modes
The Aneken Money Counter offers several modes to facilitate different counting tasks.
Figure 5: The control panel features buttons for various functions and modes.
- AUTO Mode: The machine automatically starts counting when bills are placed in the hopper.
- MANUAL Mode (M/A button): Press the M/A button to switch to manual start. Counting will only begin after pressing the START button.
- ADD Mode: Press the "ADD" button to activate. In this mode, the machine accumulates the count of multiple batches, providing a running total.
- BATCH Mode: Press the "BATCH" button to activate. Use the numeric keypad to set a desired batch quantity (e.g., 100). The machine will stop counting each time the set number of bills is reached.
- ADD + BATCH Mode: Combines the functionality of both Add and Batch modes.
- RESET Function: Press the "RESET" button to clear the current count and reset the machine. This also performs a self-test upon power-on.
4.3 Denomination Counting Function
The machine can calculate the total monetary value of a single selected denomination and add up the total amount of different denominations.
Figure 6: The control panel allows selection of denominations for value calculation.
- Single Denomination Value: Select the desired denomination from the numeric/denomination keypad on the control panel. Place bills of that specific denomination into the hopper. The total number of bills and their monetary value will be displayed after counting.
- Cumulative Value of Different Denominations: Ensure "ADD" mode is selected. Select the first denomination from the keypad and count the bills. Then, select the next denomination and repeat the process. The machine will accumulate the total value.
Note: This machine does not identify denominations automatically and does not support mixed counting of different denominations simultaneously. Bills must be sorted by denomination for value calculation.
5. Counterfeit Detection
The Aneken Money Counter Machine is equipped with multiple advanced detection technologies to identify counterfeit banknotes.
Figure 7: The machine employs various authentication techniques for secure money verification.
- UV (Ultraviolet) Detection: Checks for UV features present in genuine banknotes.
- MG (Magnetic) Detection: Detects magnetic ink patterns found on authentic currency.
- IR (Infrared) Detection: Verifies infrared security features embedded in banknotes.
- DBL (Double-note) Detection: Identifies instances where two bills are stuck together.
- HLF (Half-note) Detection: Detects bills that are torn or incomplete.
- CHN (Chain-note) Detection: Recognizes bills that are linked together.
These detection modes can be enabled simultaneously or separately. If a suspect bill is detected, the machine will stop counting and display an error code. Remove the suspect bill and press the RESET button to continue counting.

- Carefully turn the screw in small increments to adjust the tension. Test with a stack of bills after each adjustment until optimal performance is achieved.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not power on. | Power cord not connected, power switch off, or blown fuse. | Check power cord connection. Ensure power switch is ON. Check and replace fuse if necessary (refer to Figure 2 for fuse location). |
