PRO COBRA 1400IR LCD [6/20] Ir authentication

English

"IR” Authentication

Switch on the detector by toggling power switch (fig. 1-7).

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.

5 External Magnifier

The external video mouse connects to the “MOUSE” port on the rear of the device and

allows you to investigate the banknote in infrared, ultraviolet and white light with

magnification up to 20x. This provides a high degree of accuracy when checking the

details of a banknote’s image, microprint, micro patterns, clarity and smoothness of

lines, IR marks’ form and structure, and symbols of micro seals and UV marks. The

video mouse may be used in IR detection mode.

In order to activate the video mouse, press the button on the side of the device’s body.

After pressing the button, the image on the screen will change from the device’s IR

camera to the video mouse’s camera. Place the video mouse on banknote and the

display will show a magnified image of that part of the banknote. The video mouse

button can also change the operation mode of the video mouse: infrared, UV and visible

(white) light.
