  • the limits of the second reference range are in this case chosen such that there is a significant deviation of the positioning from the relative position, but this deviation is not so great that the occurrence of value memory jams must be feared thereby. If, however, the determined actual value outside of this second reference range is still within the third reference range, in particular a signal is output so that a service employee is forewarned that a corresponding deviation exists.
  • the third reference range is selected such that, if the actual value is outside of this third reference range, the deviation of the actual positioning from the predetermined target position is so great that there is a considerable risk of the occurrence of value memory jams.

    caractérisé en ce que la seconde unité de capteur (64) comprend au moins un élément capteur actif (66, 68) et en ce que la première unité de capteur (62) comprend exclusivement des éléments capteurs passifs (72).
  7. Dispositif (10) selon la revendication 5 ou 6,
    caractérisé en ce que la seconde unité de capteur (64) comprend un émetteur optique (66), un récepteur optique (68) et/ou un diaphragme, et en ce que la première unité de capteur (62) comprend un guide de lumière permettant de guider la lumière émise par l'émetteur (66) vers le récepteur (68), un prisme (72) permettant de guider la lumière émise par l'émetteur (66) vers le récepteur (68) et/ou un diaphragme.
  8. Dispositif (10) selon l'une des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que l'agencement de capteurs (60) comprend au moins un capteur optique (66, 68, 72), au moins un capteur électromagnétique et/ou au moins un capteur mécanique.
  9. Procédé de positionnement de modules d'un dispositif de manipulation de documents de valeur,
    dans lequel un module mobile (12, 14) est déplacé le long d'un trajet prédéterminé par rapport à une unité de transfert (50) permettant le transport de documents de valeur entre le module mobile (12, 14) et un autre module (12, 14), et
    dans lequel une variation d'une grandeur de mesure (80) de l'agencement de capteurs (60) est déterminée à l'aide d'un agencement de capteurs (60) destiné à déterminer la position relative du module mobile (12, 14) et de l'unité de transfert (50) l'un par rapport à l'autre lors du déplacement le long du trajet prédéterminé,
    caractérisé en ce que, pour le positionnement du module mobile (12, 14), on détermine à partir de la variation de la grandeur de mesure (80) une première plage de référence (84) dans laquelle se situe la grandeur de mesure (80) lorsque le module mobile (12, 14) et l'unité de transfert (50) sont disposés dans une position relative prédéterminée l'un par rapport à l'autre,
    en ce que, pour le positionnement du module mobile (12, 14), celui-ci est déplacé de manière à ce que la valeur effective de la grandeur de mesure (80) de l'agencement de capteurs (60) se situe dans la première plage de référence (84),
    en ce qu'une deuxième plage de référence (90, 100) qui est différente de la première plage de référence (84) est déterminée,
    dans lequel la seconde plage de référence (90, 100) est plus grande que la première plage de référence (84), et en ce que, pour la surveillance du positionnement du module mobile (12, 14) et de l'unité de transfert (50), la valeur effective de la grandeur de mesure (80) est respectivement à nouveau déterminée à des intervalles de temps prédéterminés et une comparaison est effectuée pour déterminer si elle se situe dans la seconde plage de référence (90, 100).
  10. Procédé selon la revendication 9, caractérisé en ce que le déplacement permettant de déterminer la variation et/ou en ce que le mouvement de positionnement s'effectue manuellement et/ou mécaniquement, en particulier de manière entièrement automatique.
  11. Procédé selon la revendication 9 ou 10,
    caractérisé en ce que, pour déterminer la plage de référence (84), un maximum (82) de la courbe de variation de la grandeur de mesure (80) est déterminé et en ce qu'une valeur limite inférieure (88) de la plage de référence (84) est déterminée par soustraction au maximum (82) d'un pourcentage prédéterminé du maximum (82) et une valeur limite supérieure (86) de la plage de référence (84) est déterminée par addition au maximum (82) d'un pourcentage prédéterminé du maximum (82).
  12. Procédé selon l'une des revendications 9 à 11,
    caractérisé en ce que, pour la surveillance du positionnement du module mobile (12, 14) et de l'unité de transfert (50) l'un par rapport à l'autre, la valeur effective de la grandeur de mesure (80) est respectivement à nouveau déterminée en continu et une comparaison est effectuée pour déterminer si elle se situe dans la seconde plage de référence (90, 100).
  13. Procédé selon l'une des revendications 9 à 12,
    caractérisé en ce que, lors du positionnement du module mobile (12, 14) et de l'unité de transfert (50) l'un par rapport à l'autre, un signal, en particulier un signal acoustique et/ou optique, est délivré lorsque la valeur effective se situe dans la première plage de référence (84) et/ou en ce que, lors de la surveillance du positionnement du module mobile (12, 14) et de l'unité de transfert (50) l'un par rapport à l'autre, un signal, en particulier un signal acoustique et/ou optique, est délivré lorsque la valeur effective se situe en dehors de la première ou de la seconde plage de référence (84, 90, 100).
  14. Procédé selon l'une des revendications 9 à 12,
    caractérisé en ce qu'après le positionnement du module mobile (12, 14) et de l'unité de transfert (50) l'un par rapport à l'autre dans la position prédéterminée, une butée est montée de manière à ce qu'après avoir quitté la position prédéterminée, le module mobile (12, 14) puisse être déplacé dans la position prédéterminée en étant déplacé contre la butée.
