MIX mode
- In the MIX mode, ‘MIX’ is displayed on the display and the machine counts all

press and hold ‘ADD/REP’ for 2 seconds. In this mode counterfeit detection is ON.
SORT mode
-
In the SORT mode, ‘SORT’ is displayed on the display and the machine only counts
notes of the same denomination. For this function the first note, which is counted by the BC 231
SD, determines which notes are counted and which are rejected. In this mode counterfeit
detection is ON.
UV mode
-
In the UV mode, ‘UV’ is displayed on the display and the machine only counts notes
of the same denomination. For this function the first note, which is counted by the BC 231 SD,
determines which notes are counted and which are rejected. In this mode counterfeit detection
is ON (UV only!).
Count mode

should be activated. After finishing the counting, the total quantity is displayed on the display.

now ADD is displayed on the display. When the accumulative quantity reaches 10.000 or the
accumulative value reaches 1.000.000, the number will be reset to 0.

this number, press ‘BAT/CLR’ several times and the BC 231 SD will toggle between the standard
settings (100, 50, 20, 10, 5 and ---) where ‘---‘ means the function is disabled. To set another
quantity, press ‘+1/+10’ to adjust the pre-configured settings.
After setting the batch number, place the banknotes on the hopper and the machine will start
counting. When the set batch number is reached, the machine will stop automatically. After
removing the notes from the stacker, the banknote counter will continue.

genuine
