(Revision: O06) 1 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of a Semacon Coin Counter. You have just taken the first step towards counting, bagging and/or packaging/wrapping your coins in a more efficient manner. We understand that you had a variety of choices when selecting your counter and we would like to thank you for choosing Semacon for your money handling needs. Important! Save the original box and all packing materials for future shipping needs should you ever need to send your counter in for maintenance or repair. Before operating your new coin counter for the first time, please read carefully through these instructions to become familiar with the proper operation of the counter. Should you have any questions, please contact your distributor or Semacon for further assistance. Semacon’s S-100 Series Coin Counters are designed to help you reduce the amount of time you spend counting and packaging coins. These counters require a small amount of space and are designed to handle large volumes of coin in a very high speed manner. The S-120 and S-140 Coin Counters are designed to count a single denomination of coin while simultaneously offsorting and separating the smaller diameter denominations. You simply start counting the largest diameter coins first and all of the smaller diameter coins will be offsorted into the side offsort tray or bag. This process can then be repeated until all of your mixed denominations of coins are separated and counted. 7430 Trade Street San Diego, CA 92121 USA Tel: 858-638-0100 Fax: 858-638-0110 [email protected] www.semacon.com 2 S-120 Coin Counter Diagram Figure 1 Note: The S-140 Coin Counter has a similar feature layout but includes a large hopper on top of the counter instead of a folding lid. 3 Control Panel Functions Figure 2 KEY FUNCTION START/STOP Start or stop the counting.

Press this button for 2-3 seconds to exit the subtotal list display mode. 4 Operating Instructions Normal Counting Mode 1) Turn on the power switch located at the back of the machine. The counter will power on and the machine will go through a self test cycle. When the display shows “0” the test cycle is complete and you are ready to count. 2) To count coins in normal mode, the LEDs above the ADD and BATCH buttons should be off. 3) Select the proper setting for the diameter and the thickness of the coin denomination to be counted before any coins are placed in the hopper. Always start with the largest diameter coin first, then proceed from the largest to smallest diameter coin. While you are in the process of counting, bagging or packaging the largest diameter coin, all coins smaller in diameter than the coin denomination currently being counted will be offsorted through the side chute into the offsort coin tray or side bagging attachment. Both accessories are included with your counter. Use the offsort tray when you have a small quantity of coins to be offsorted from the primary coin being counted. Use the offsort bag holder attachment when you are expecting to separate larger quantities of mixed denomination coins. 4) Press the START/STOP button to begin counting the coins. The indicator light above the START/STOP button will turn on during counting. The LED display will continuously show the quantity of coins that have been counted. Note: The displayed coin count includes only the quantity of the primary coin size being counted. It does not include the number of coins that have been offsorted. 5) A few seconds after the last coin is detected, the counter will proceed into a quick, automatic reverse cycle to clear any left over coins in the coin hopper. After the reverse cycle, if there are no more coins to be counted, the counter will stop automatically. To manually stop the counter at any time, press the START/STOP button. Model S-120: Do not put too many coins into the hopper. Feed the coins from the coin inspection tray (open cover) into the hopper while keeping the hopper less than half full in order to maximize the counting speed. 5 Batch Counting Mode 1) Batch mode is typically used when bagging or wrapping/rolling coins. Select the batch counting mode by pressing the BATCH button. The LED indicator light above the BATCH button will turn on. 2) Select your desired batch stop quantity, a number from 1-9999, by pressing the 1, 10, 100 and 1000 digit selection buttons until you reach the desired setting. The batch stop setting will appear on the upper LED display. 3) Press the START/STOP button to start counting. The indicator light above the START/STOP button will turn on during counting. When the selected batch count has been reached, the counter will stop automatically so you can change bags or wrappers. Press the START/STOP button again to start the next batch counting cycle. 4) If the last batch count is not complete, add additional coins to the hopper and press the START/STOP button again. The counter will continue counting from where it left off until the desired batch quantity is reached and then it will stop. 5) To clear the batch setting, hold down the CLEAR button and then press the 1 button. Add Mode In the normal counting mode, as you count multiple groups of coins, the machine will reset the total count between groups when the STORE button is pressed. If you press the ADD button so the LED above the button is lit, then Add mode is on and the machine will continuously add each coin count to the previous total after the STORE button is pressed. Subtotal Mode After each group of coins is counted, press the ADD/STORE button for 2-3 seconds to store the count in the subtotal list. Press the SUB button to enter the the subtotal list display mode. Each time the SUB button is pressed, the next subtotal will be displayed. The grand total will be dis- played at the end. Press the SUB button for 2-3 seconds to exit the subtotal list display mode. Counting Order For Mixed Coins When counting a mix of different denomination coins, always count the coins with largest diameter first, then work down to the smallest diameter coins. Set the diameter and thickness knobs according to the setting for the coin with the largest diameter. Any smaller coins will be rejected into the offsort tray or offsort bag holder on the right side of the counter. Then similarly count the rejected coins. Do this repeatedly until all coins are counted. 6 Attaching A Coin Bag Slide the metal ring on the bag holder upward and place a plastic or cloth coin bag around the bagging attachment. Then lower the metal ring around the top of the bag firmly so the bag is secure. WARNING! Always support the coin bag from the bottom of the bag. Failure to properly support the bag from the bottom could cause the coin counter to tip or fall or cause the bag to detach from the bag holder. A chair or stool may be used for this purpose. Attaching A Coin Packaging Tube To package coins into a paper coin wrapper, attach the appropriate size packaging tube to the counter by inserting the larger end of the tube into the front bagging attachment and then tightening the thumbscrew. Then set the appropriate batch stop setting by following the instructions in the “Batch Counting Mode” section. Following are the Packaging Tube sizes and colors: Penny: Red, Light Gray or Black Nickel: Blue Dime: Green Quarter: Orange Half-Dollar: Dark Gray Dollar or Loonie: Gold Toonie: Brown or Dark Gray Setting the Diameter and Thickness Adjustment Knobs For US and Canadian coins, set the Diameter and Thickness Adjustment Knobs as shown below. These settings are marked in red on the control panel.
