FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can the iTBOX MD-1 detect the security features on the newer RM50 and RM100 notes? – Yes, it is specifically designed to highlight the UV-sensitive security patterns and invisible fibers found on all current Malaysian Ringgit denominations.
2. Does it use a magnetic sensor to check for ink? – No, the MD-1 is a UV-only detector. It does not have a magnetism (MG) sensor or a watermark (WM) white light window.
3. Is it possible to replace the UV bulb myself? – Yes. The bulb is a standard T5/4W BLB tube. Once the unit is unplugged, the bulb can be easily swapped out if it eventually burns out.
4. Does the electronic start make it better than older models? – Absolutely. Traditional detectors use “magnetic ballasts” that flicker and take time to warm up. The electronic start in the MD-1 is instant and more energy-efficient.
5. Can I use this for international credit cards like Visa or Mastercard? – Yes. Most credit cards have a UV-sensitive “V” or “MC” logo that glows brightly under this light to prove the card is genuine.
6. Is it safe to leave the device on all day? – While it is built for durability, we recommend using the on/off switch to turn it off when not in use to extend the lifespan of the UV bulb.
7. Is it battery-powered for portable use? – No, this is a desktop model that requires a standard wall plug. For a portable version, you might consider the iTBOX UD-STAR handheld model.
8. Will it work on passports from other countries? – Yes. Nearly all international passports utilize UV-sensitive inks for their security seals and pages, which will be clearly visible under the MD-1.
9. Why is there a shield over the bulb? – The shield is a safety feature designed to direct the light downward onto the document and away from the operator’s eyes to prevent strain.
10. Why choose ITS OFFICE APPLIANCES for this purchase? – Established in 2008 in Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia, we have over 18 years of specialized experience. We don’t just sell the machine; we provide the technical support, original spare parts, and localized warranty you need.
