Safescan 40H Portable UV Counterfeit Detector
The Safescan 40H Portable UV Counterfeit Detector is a compact handheld device designed for quick manual verification of banknotes, credit cards, passports and other identification documents. Its powerful 4W ultraviolet lamp reveals UV security features that are normally invisible under standard lighting, helping users identify potentially counterfeit banknotes wherever they are working.
Suitable for all currencies, the Safescan 40H can be used to check modern polymer banknotes, including both Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III series. Its lightweight battery-powered design makes it particularly useful for mobile businesses, markets, events, taxis, delivery vehicles and other environments where a mains-powered detector may not be practical.
In addition to ultraviolet verification, the Safescan 40H includes an integrated white LED light that helps users visually inspect additional banknote security features such as watermarks, metallic security threads and microprint.

UV Banknote Verification
Modern banknotes contain ultraviolet security markings that become visible under UV light. The Safescan 40H uses a 4W UV lamp to illuminate these features, allowing the operator to manually compare them with the expected security markings of a genuine banknote.
The detector is suitable for all currencies and can be used with modern polymer banknotes, making it a practical manual verification tool for businesses that handle different types of cash.
White Light Verification
A built-in white LED flashlight provides an additional method of visual verification. The white light can be used to help inspect security features such as watermarks, metallic security strips and microprint that may be difficult to see under normal lighting.
More Than Banknotes
The Safescan 40H can also reveal ultraviolet security markings incorporated into credit cards, passports and other identification documents. It can additionally be used to identify UV ink applied to valuable items or event admission materials.
Portable Handheld Design
Weighing just 89g and measuring only 16 x 5.6 x 2.2cm, the Safescan 40H is designed for portable use. Its compact form makes it easy to carry between locations, while the supplied wrist strap provides additional security during handheld operation.
A foldable stand is integrated into the unit, allowing the Safescan 40H to be positioned on a desk or counter when hands-free verification is preferred.
