More product features and operating details
- IDENTIFY BANKNOTES’ UV SECURITY FEATURES Every modern banknote has integrated UV security features that only show up under ultraviolet light at a certain frequency. The Safescan 50 is designed specifically to help you verify these features and identify potentially counterfeit banknotes.
- RAPIDLY VERIFY ID CARDS The Safescan 50 not only reveals the integrated UV security features in modern banknotes; it also instantly illuminates the UV security features built into today’s credit cards, passports and other ID documents, as well as UV ink applied to protect valuable items from theft or confirm event admission.
- UNIQUE WARM-START TECHNOLOGY FOR 3X LONGER BULB LIFE The Safescan 50’s ingenious “warm- start” technology triples the UV bulb’s usual lifetime while reducing energy use. When you turn on the device, an intelligent system preheats the bulb’s electrodes, enabling the bulb to be switched on and off without reducing its useful life. Ideal for high-frequency operation.
- UNIQUE INTEGRATED REFLECTOR FOR OPTIMAL VISION No need to dim the surroundings or add extra UV sources: the Safescan 50’s unique integrated reflector nearly doubles the amount of UV light that reaches the banknote or ID card, giving you the best possible view of its UV security features.
- SMALL AND STYLISH Safescan designed the Safescan 50 with countertop use in mind. Its compact size takes up a minimum of space beside your register, and its sleek look—available in duotone gray or black—complements every business interior.

Frequently asked questions
Is the counterfeit check automatic?
No. The Safescan 50 is a manual UV detector: you inspect the note under its UV light yourself.
What can I check with it?
UV features on paper and polymer notes of any currency, and on credit cards, passports and other ID documents.
How does it differ from the Safescan 70?
Both use a 9 W UV lamp. The 70 adds 16 white LEDs for checking watermarks, microprint and metallic thread, and an automatic on/off sensor.
Can the lamp be replaced?
Yes. It uses the Safescan UV 50-70 replacement lamp. Warm-start technology is stated by the manufacturer to give up to three times longer lamp life.
