"IR" Authentication
•For the PRO-1500IRPM model, press the "IR" button and the indicator will light up.
•For the PRO-1500IR model, switch on the detector by toggling power switch 6.
Place a banknote on the working table over the auto start sensor. The CRT display will
stabilize after 6 seconds.
After the display shows the image of the banknote, the device is ready to test the
banknote. If the banknote is authentic, the display will show currency-specific infrared
marks on the screen. Examples of the expected marks are shown in the appendix below.
If the image on the display fully corresponds with the banknote (i.e. there are no IR
marks), the banknote should be regarded as suspicious or counterfeit.
For USD, the following images are typical:
- face and back sides (see appendix)
For EURO, the following images are typical:
- face and back sides (see appendix)
Remove the banknote when finished and the screen will automatically shut off after 5
minutes. Turn off the detector when finished.
Attention! For different currencies (including USD, EURO), depending on the year
of issue, IR marks may be in different locations.
Attention! CRT displays have a naturally limited lifespan. Do not leave a banknote
in the device for extended periods to protect the CRT display.
