Auto Calibration
The system 600 note acceptor has an auto calibration feature that is used to adjust the
optic sensors used to identify currency. This feature allows the owner to quickly
recalibrate the note acceptor to optimize the bill acceptance rate. Please note that the bill
acceptor must be thoroughly cleaned before performing the auto calibration sequence.
Calibration Procedure (Using the Hand Held Data Terminal)
1.
To initiate the “auto calibration mode” begin by pressing “F2” (DIAGNOSTICS) on
the Data Terminal. Then press “F2”(AUTO CAL). This will allow the balance card to
be accepted. The card will be rejected if the calibration mode is not initiated.
2.
Insert the balance card into the note acceptor in the direction indicated on the card.
The auto calibration sequence will take approximately one second. When completed
the card will automatically be rejected.
3.
Remove the rejected card from the acceptor. At this point a message will appear on
the keyboard indicating the result of the auto calibration.
GOOD CAL - indicates a successful calibration. Perform step 4.
BAD CAL - indicates a non-successful calibration. Perform step 4 then repeat auto
calibration sequence beginning with step 1.
4.
Exit the auto calibration mode by pressing the “F5”(RETURN) on the Data Terminal.
Calibration Notes:
•
Your note acceptor does not require frequent calibration. Testing has shown that a
minimum of 40,000 bills (any denomination) can be processed before calibration is
required. If your acceptor is not achieving this level of performance please contact
your nearest service center.
•
Never use a balance card more than once. Dispose of balance cards after one use.
•
Store unused balance cards in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight.
•
Never store unused balance cards for more than a one year.
•
Once the balance card sequence has been started, do not press any keys on the
keyboard until the calibration sequence is finished and the card is rejected.
•
Always perform calibration at room temperature between 70
0
F and 80
0
F (20
0
C to
27
0
C). Failure to do so will result in improper calibration, which can cause poor
security and acceptance.
•
The auto calibration sequence will take no longer than 6 seconds.
