5. Use
Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
•
Plug the power cord into a suitable mains outlet.
•
The detector has a triple state switch. Set the power switch [4] to I (PE) to switch on the bottom
light [3]; set the power switch [4] to II (UV) to switch on the UV light [2]. Place the switch in the
middle position (OFF) to switch the detector off.
•
Look through the magnifying glass [1] to take a closer look at the banknotes or bank cards.
ATTENTION:
Do not place the detector at eyes height to prevent eye damage when using the UV lamp.
6. Additional information
•
Bank notes with UV-sensitive markings:
Place the bank note under the UV light of the detector. The UV-sensitive markings will appear.
•
Bank notes with non UV-sensitive markings:
Place the bank note under the UV light of the detector. No UV-sensitive marking will appear and the
bank note's texture will not change. No watermark will be visible.
The holographic indicia will be visible on the front of the bank note but not on the back.
•
Most counterfeit bank notes:
Place the bank note under the UV light of the detector. The counterfeit bank note will immediately
glow blue. The watermark will not be visible, unlike the holographic indicia which will be highly
visible, both on the front and on the back of the bank note.
All counterfeit bank notes are fluorescent. If in doubt, verify the watermark: it must be very clear
with well-defined colours. A bank note which is not too used must feel crisp and be slightly rough on
the prints. The bank note must not be limp, shiny or waxy.
