The Safescan 185-S is one of the most advanced counterfeit detectors yet. Equipped with the latest technology, this device takes only a fraction of a second to scan currencies for seven crucial security features, no matter which way you insert them. The convenient banknote feeder guide ensures banknotes are always fed into the detector correctly.
The Safescan 185-S uses the latest counterfeit detection technology to check for seven advanced security features built into today’s currencies: infrared ink, magnetic ink, metallic thread, colour, size, thickness and watermark. The technology inside the 185-S is so reliable it will also detect double notes, half notes and even the superdollar, the most sophisticated counterfeit banknote ever created. Its proven 100% accuracy will eliminate any doubts about whether the note you’re holding is genuine or counterfeit.
The 185-S is regularly put through rigorous testing by major central banks around the world, using their latest test decks of both genuine and counterfeit notes. Time and time again, the 185-S passes these tests with flying colours by reliably identifying both counterfeit and authentic notes with proven 100% accuracy.
The 185-S has an intuitive control panel and a large, crisp display. Three clearly labelled buttons provide easy access to all its features. The spacious LCD screen tells you exactly what you need to know: currency type, denomination, and the number of notes authenticated. If you’ve turned on the ADD function, it will also tell you the total value of notes counted. And since it takes less than half a second to verify each note, you’ll have your answer before the customer can even blink.
The 185-S has been designed with countertop use in mind. Its compact size takes up a minimum of space beside your register, and its sleek look suits every business interior. The top-quality materials and elegant design subtly tell customers you’re using the best equipment counterfeit detection has to offer.
Central banks are constantly updating their banknotes to incorporate the newest security features and make it even harder for counterfeiters to succeed. Our dedicated currency management team notifies you whenever there’s an update for your 185-S; all you have to do is install it using the USB port or MicroSD slot on the back of the device.
Taking your business on the road? The 185-S’s compact size and optionally available LB-105 rechargeable battery allow you to verify notes wherever you go. With up to 30 hours of mobile use, you can accept cash payments anywhere with confidence.
Default currencies: EUR, USD, GBP, CAD, MXN, CHF, CNY, HKD
7-point automatic counterfeit detection: Infrared Magnetic ink Metallic thread Watermark Colour Size and Thickness, suitable for the detection of Polymer banknotes, suspected banknote alarm with visual and audio alert, large and clear LCD display, currency update and micro SD card & USB ports, automatic standby after 30 seconds
