Counterfeit Detection
The K08 employs six advanced detection methods to identify suspicious banknotes:
- Ultraviolet (UV) Detection: Checks for UV security features embedded in genuine banknotes.
- Infrared (IR) Detection: Verifies the presence and pattern of IR ink, which is invisible to the naked eye.
- Magnetic (MG) Detection: Detects magnetic properties in the ink of genuine currency.
- Dimensional Detection (DD): Measures the width of banknotes to ensure they conform to standard sizes.
- Variable Ink (VI) Detection: Identifies color-shifting ink features found on some denominations.
- Fluorescence Analysis (FA): Examines the paper for fluorescent properties, which are absent in genuine currency.
If a suspicious bill, consecutive bills, doubled bills, or half bills are detected, the machine will stop, the screen will turn red, and an audible 'BEEP' alarm will sound. Remove the suspicious bill and press START to resume counting.
