6.2 Counterfeit Detection

The N10 utilizes multiple detection methods to identify counterfeit banknotes.

• UV (Ultraviolet) Detection: Checks for UV features on banknotes.

If a suspicious banknote is detected, the machine will stop, display an error code, and the suspect note will remain in the stacker or be diverted (depending on model features). Remove the suspect note and press "START" to resume counting.
