Product Description

The AL-920A Automatic Money Counter is a professional banknote counting machine designed for businesses and organisations that handle cash regularly. Combining high-speed counting with multiple counterfeit-detection technologies, the AL-920A helps streamline cash handling while reducing the time and effort required for manual counting.

With support for count, single-denomination and mixed-denomination counting modes, the machine can be used for a variety of cash-processing requirements. In supported configurations, mixed banknotes can be counted and their total value and denomination breakdown displayed.

The AL-920A is suitable for retail stores, supermarkets, banks, cash offices, currency exchanges, financial departments and other businesses with regular cash-handling requirements.

High-Speed & Efficient Banknote Counting

The AL-920A is designed to process large quantities of banknotes quickly. Published specifications list counting speeds of up to 1,500 notes per minute in CNT mode, while mixed and single-denomination modes operate at lower speeds depending on the selected configuration.

This makes the machine useful for:

Daily cash reconciliation
End-of-day cash counting
Till and cash-office processing
Banknote bundle counting
Stock and cash audits
Retail cash management
High-volume cash handling
Multiple Counting Modes

The AL-920A offers several operating modes to accommodate different cash-counting requirements:

CNT Mode: Counts the number of banknotes without calculating their monetary value.

SDC Mode: Designed for counting a single denomination.

MDC / MIX Mode: Counts mixed denominations and can provide total value and denomination breakdowns where supported.

ADD Mode: Combines counts from multiple batches into a cumulative total.

BATCH Mode: Counts banknotes until a preset quantity is reached, making it useful for preparing standard cash bundles.

Advanced Counterfeit Detection

The AL-920A combines several banknote verification technologies to help identify suspicious notes during the counting process.

Detection technologies can include:

UV – Ultraviolet Detection
MG – Magnetic Detection
IR – Infrared Detection
Dual CIS – Contact Image Sensor
Dimensional Detection
Thickness Detection
Variable Ink Detection
Magnetic Thread Detection, depending on configuration
Serial Number Recognition in supported modes

When the machine identifies a potentially problematic note, it can stop counting and display an error or warning so the operator can inspect the note.

Important: Counterfeit detection is an electronic screening aid and should not be considered an absolute guarantee that every counterfeit note will be detected. Notes should still be inspected where authenticity is critical.

Dual CIS Image Scanning

The Dual CIS technology provides image-based analysis of banknotes and is one of the key features of the AL-920A.

By analysing the physical and visual characteristics of notes, CIS technology can assist with denomination recognition, counterfeit screening and error detection.

This makes the AL-920A more versatile than basic banknote counters that only count the number of notes.

Multi-Currency & Mixed Denomination Counting

The AL-920A is designed for multi-currency applications, with available currency support depending on the installed software and machine configuration.

In supported MDC/MIX modes, the machine can process mixed denominations and display the calculated total value and denomination breakdown.

This can be particularly useful for businesses handling different denominations throughout the day.

Note: Currency databases and supported currencies may vary by market, software version and machine configuration. Confirm the required currency support before purchase.

Serial Number Recognition

In supported operating modes, the AL-920A can read and record banknote serial numbers. This feature can assist businesses with cash tracking, auditing and transaction records.

An optional external printer can also be connected on supported configurations for printing counting results and other information.

Large Capacity for Efficient Cash Processing

Published AL-920 specifications list a hopper capacity of up to 500 banknotes and a stacker capacity of approximately 200 banknotes.

This allows operators to process larger quantities of notes without constantly reloading the machine.

User-Friendly Touchscreen Operation

The AL-920A features a TFT display and touch-panel controls, allowing operators to select counting modes, currency settings, batch quantities and other functions from the machine interface.

The display provides clear information during counting and can show results, errors and denomination information depending on the selected operating mode.

Important Notes
Counterfeit detection should be regarded as a screening aid, not an absolute guarantee of authenticity.
Supported currencies and denomination-recognition functions can vary according to the machine`s software and configuration.
Keep sensors and the note-feeding mechanism clean for reliable operation.
Banknotes should be reasonably flat and properly aligned before being placed into the hopper.
For critical financial transactions, suspicious notes should always be manually inspected or verified using an appropriate secondary method.
