Automatic 365 nm UV-A LED Verification Lamp with Three High-Intensity LEDs for Banknotes, Passports, Tickets and Security Documents

Place the document under the lamp and inspect its hidden UV security features — simple, automatic and professional.

The BellCon MT9-LED is a professional ultraviolet verification lamp designed for visual examination of UV fluorescence security features in banknotes, passports, tickets and other security documents.

Instead of using traditional UV fluorescent tubes, the MT9-LED uses three high-intensity, long-life UV-A LEDs operating at a 365 nm peak wavelength.

Operation is straightforward. A built-in proximity sensor automatically switches on the UV illumination when a banknote or document is placed beneath the device. The lamp automatically switches off again after use, helping reduce unnecessary power consumption.

Under UV illumination, applicable hidden fluorescence features can become visible to the operator, allowing examination of security markings and optical paper properties that may not be apparent under normal lighting.

The MT9-LED can be used as a handheld device, as a stationary desktop unit with its foot, or as part of a fixed counter installation.

Three High-Intensity UV-A LEDs

The MT9-LED uses:

3 × Long-Life UV-A LEDs

with a peak wavelength of:

365 nm

The high-output UV illumination is designed to make applicable fluorescence characteristics clearly visible during manual inspection.

What Can the MT9-LED Examine?

The MT9-LED is designed to assist with visual examination of security features in documents such as:

• Banknotes
• Passports
• Tickets
• Security documents
• Other documents incorporating compatible UV fluorescence features

The exact features visible under UV light depend on the security design of the banknote or document being examined.

UV Fluorescence Verification

Many security documents incorporate inks, fibres, markings or other elements designed to behave differently under ultraviolet illumination.

When an appropriate document is placed beneath the MT9-LED, applicable hidden UV features can fluoresce and become visible to the human eye.

The operator can compare these visible characteristics with the expected security features of the genuine document.

Optical Paper Quality Check

BellCon also specifies the MT9-LED for checking optical paper properties.

This provides another visual characteristic that can assist an experienced operator when examining banknotes and security documents.

Automatic Power-On

A built-in proximity sensor provides automatic operation.

When a document or banknote is positioned beneath the MT9-LED, the UV illumination switches on automatically.

This eliminates the need to operate a switch repeatedly during routine document checking.

Automatic Power-Off

The MT9-LED also incorporates:

Power-Saving Automatic Power-Off

This reduces unnecessary operating time after the inspection is completed.

Combined with LED technology, the automatic power management contributes to low overall energy consumption.

Less Than 4.5 W Power Consumption

BellCon specifies power consumption of:

Less Than 4.5 W

This is one of the advantages of the LED-based design compared with traditional UV-lamp technologies.

MT9-LED vs Automatic Banknote Detector

The distinction is important.

BellCon MT9-LED

The MT9-LED reveals applicable UV fluorescence characteristics for visual examination by the operator.

The operator decides whether the observed security characteristics appear correct.

Automatic Banknote Detector

An automatic detector may use multiple sensors and software to evaluate a banknote and provide an automated acceptance or rejection result.

These are different verification methods.

The MT9-LED can be useful when manual visual UV examination is specifically required, but it should not be represented as an automatic counterfeit banknote detector.

Important Detection Guidance

BellCon specifically states that detection accuracy when using UV lamps depends on the subjective decision of the operator.

The MT9-LED illuminates applicable security characteristics.

It does not independently determine whether a banknote or document is genuine.

Reliable use therefore depends on the operator understanding what the correct security features should look like for the banknote or document being examined.

Does the MT9-LED Support Different Currencies?

The MT9-LED is not a currency-programmed machine in the same way as an automatic banknote detector.

It provides 365 nm UV-A illumination for examining compatible fluorescence security features.

It may therefore be used to inspect applicable UV characteristics in banknotes from different currencies.

However, the operator must know the expected security features of the particular currency and banknote series.

Does It Verify UAE Dirham?

The MT9-LED can be used to visually examine applicable UV fluorescence characteristics of security documents and banknotes.

For UAE Dirham inspection, the operator should understand the correct UV security characteristics of the particular AED banknote series being examined.

The lamp itself does not identify the denomination, determine the banknote series or automatically declare a note genuine.

LED vs Traditional UV Tube

The MT9-LED uses high-efficiency LED technology rather than conventional UV tubes.

Advantages of the design include:

• Long-life LED light source
• Low power consumption
• Compact construction
• Automatic activation
• Automatic power-off
• Lightweight handheld operation
• Flexible desktop installation

Things to Verify Before Ordering

Who May Need a Different Device?

Consider an automatic detector when the requirement is for the machine itself to evaluate banknotes using multiple detection technologies.

A different inspection device may also be required where the workflow needs features such as:

• Automatic denomination recognition
• Currency recognition
• Automated accept/reject decisions
• Magnetic security-feature checking
• Infrared examination
• Watermark examination
• Magnification

The correct device depends on the security features that need to be examined.
