UV Ultraviolet Light Model 318 Money Detector

Description

UV Ultraviolet Light (Model 318) Money Detector – Fast, Accurate Counterfeit Detection

The UV Ultraviolet Light Model 318 Money Detector is an indispensable tool for businesses, cash handlers, banks, retail outlets, and event organizers who need to verify the authenticity of banknotes, passports, IDs, and other security-enhanced documents. Combining convenience, reliability, and safety in a sleek desktop design, the Model 318 illuminates the ultraviolet features embedded in modern currency and secure papers, making it easy to distinguish genuine items from forgeries within seconds.

Equipped with a high-intensity UV lamp and precision optics, the Model 318 exposes micro-printed security threads, watermarks, fluorescent inks, and other invisible features that are only visible under UV light. Its simple one-touch operation delivers consistent performance, whether you’re verifying small batches of cash at a point-of-sale terminal or screening large volumes of notes in a bank vault.

Rapid and Reliable Counterfeit Detection

The Model 318 features a 6-watt UV lamp that emits long-wave ultraviolet light at the optimal wavelength for revealing fluorescence in genuine banknotes and security documents. Simply place the item on the viewing platform or hold it under the lamp to immediately see the glowing security fibers, UV security threads, and other embedded markers that differentiate legitimate currency and secure credentials from counterfeits.

Unlike traditional black-light flashlights, the fixed-position lamp and viewing well minimize glare and ensure even illumination across the entire surface of the note. This uniform UV coverage reduces false negatives and helps you spot suspicious items quickly, letting you focus on business rather than second-guessing fakes.

Durable Construction and User-Centered Design

Built to withstand daily use in demanding environments, the Model 318 sports a sturdy ABS plastic housing with vented side panels for heat dissipation. The compact footprint (approx. 120 × 120 × 140 mm) easily fits on any countertop, cash register, or desktop without taking up valuable workspace. Non-slip rubber feet keep the unit stable during operation.

The intuitive rocker switch on top provides on/off control, while a built-in timer automatically shuts off power after a preset interval to extend lamp life and reduce energy consumption. The UV lamp is protected by a shatter-resistant sleeve, and replacement bulbs are user-replaceable in under a minute—no tools required.

Safe and Eco-Friendly Operation

Safety is paramount when working with ultraviolet devices. The Model 318 emits low-intensity long-wave UV-A light, which is safe for brief exposure during normal inspection procedures. The housing’s shielded lamp chamber ensures that stray UV light is contained, protecting users’ eyes and skin while allowing clear visibility of security features.

Energy-efficient electronics minimize power consumption, drawing less than 10 watts in operation and automatically entering a low-power standby mode when idle. This not only lowers your electricity costs but also reduces heat output—ideal for crowded retail counters or back-office environments.

Versatile Applications Across Industries

While primarily designed for currency verification, the Model 318 also excels at inspecting other UV-reactive items. Use it to:

• Authenticate passports, driver’s licenses, and ID cards with UV watermarks

• Check stamps, tickets, and event wristbands for fluorescent security features

• Verify pharmaceutical packaging and prescription pads to prevent fraud

• Examine business cards, certificates, and legal documents that use UV inks

From bus and taxi operators verifying fare tickets to casinos validating high-denomination chips, this money detector brings professional-grade counterfeit detection to any setting.

Simple Maintenance and Support

Keeping the UV lamp operating at peak performance is straightforward. The detachable lamp module slides out easily for bulb replacement, and periodic cleaning of the viewing window with a soft, lint-free cloth ensures optimal clarity. A spare UV bulb and cleaning cloth are optionally available for bulk or high-frequency environments.

Backed by a one-year manufacturer warranty and responsive customer service, the UV Ultraviolet Light Model 318 Money Detector offers peace of mind as well as powerful counterfeit-detection capabilities.
