If any banknotes or coins were previously calibrated and in order to keep these settings, select USER CALIBRATED, otherwise select FACTORY DEFAULT.
Calibrating Coin Scoop:
To use a different coin scoop to the one supplied, it must first be calibrated.

Select CALIBRATE SCOOP from the calibration menu and follow the screen prompts.
Calibrating Packaging Items:
Calibration requires between 10 and 100 samples of packaging items such as elastic bands, paper clips, plastic sleeves, etc. (Use only elastic bands with consistent width and diameter. Paper rolls should be calibrated using paper from the smallest coin denomination).

Select CALIBRATE PACKAGE from the calibration menu.
Select the type of package to be calibrated from the package menu
Select SAMPLE QUANTITY of packaging items (10 to 100) to be used for calibration.
Select USED QUANTITY (1-15, number of packaging items used to make a package).
Example: 10 notes are wrapped with a single elastic band and than 10 lots of those are wrapped with 2 elastic bands.
Used quantity = 10 x 1 + 2 = 12.

Select START CALIBRATION, press ENT key and follow the screen prompts.
Calibrating Banknotes:
The counter is supplied calibrated for a particular currency or currencies (model NCS15BM) and normally does not require recalibration. Currency calibration requires at least 50 banknotes and 50 coins of the denominations to be calibrated. Refer to General Calibration Requirements prior to calibration.

To enter calibration, switch the counter off and press ESC key.
Select CALIBRATION MENU from the options menu and press ENT key.
(For NCS15BM model only, press POWER key to select the required currency).
Select CALIBRATE NOTES from the calibration menu.
Select sample quantity of banknotes (50 or 100) to be used for calibration.

MAXIMUM QUANTITY and TOLERANCE settings are optional and are explained separately.

Select START CALIBRATION, press ENT key and follow the screen prompts.
Calibrating Coins:
Select CALIBRATE COINS from the calibration menu.
Follow the same procedure as above.
Banknote Tolerance:
No calibration is required to adjust the banknote tolerance and maximum quantity. The feature allows tolerance adjustment of individual denominations and applies to loose banknotes only. Default settings normally do not require change.
Higher tolerance generally means higher counting (acceptance) rate but increases a possibility of counting errors. Lower tolerance means lower counting rate with decreased possibility of counting errors. By increasing tolerance of lower denominations and decreasing tolerance of higher denominations a compromise can be reached between counting rate and a possibility of counting errors.

Switch the counter off and press ESC key.
Select CALIBRATION MENU from the options menu.
Select CALIBRATE NOTES from the calibration menu.
Select the required banknote DENOMINATION using LEFT or RIGHT key.
Select the required TOLERANCE (HIGH - NORMAL - LOW).

Press ESC key to exit.
Maximum Quantity:
MAXIMUM QTY setting determines how many loose banknotes can be placed on the counter in one go. NCS15B and BM will accept up to 100 banknotes, NCS15R is limited to 35. The total number of banknotes that can be counted in a single operation is only limited by how many can fit on the counter (approximately 300 banknotes)

Select the required banknote DENOMINATION.
Select the required MAXIMUM QTY.
Repeat the procedure for all the required denominations.
Press ESC key to exit.
