- the speed of movement may be determined by comparing the luminescence signals detected by at least two of the detectors as a function of time, e.g. by comparing the luminescence signals of the first and second detectors. The comparison provides the time interval of the luminescence signals with which the luminescence signals, due to the local offset of the detectors along the direction of movement, are detected. In this case, e.g. the time interval of certain structures of the luminescence signal are used or the rise or fall of the detected luminescence signals at the front or back edge of the value document. From the determined time interval and the known spatial offset of the detectors along the transport direction, the speed of movement of the respective

- the first detector 1 first detection area Dl
- a substantial luminescence signal Sl see FIG. 4a.

- the decay time x can be checked, for example, in a specific average speed range on the basis of all three luminescence signals S1, S2 and S3, eg forming both ratios S3 / S1 and S2 / S1, and at low speeds using the first and second luminescence signals S1, S2.
- the detectors 1, 2 and 3 may have similar or the same spectral sensitivity. In the following exemplary embodiment, however, the first detector 1 has a different spectral sensitivity than the second detector 2 and the third detector 3 whose spectral sensitivities at least approximately the same. In the common spectral range, which cover all three detectors 1, 2, 3, their spectral sensitivity curve is preferably at least approximately equal. Due to the deviating spectral sensitivity of the first detector 1, it is achieved that the sensor 100, besides checking the decay time ⁇ , can also detect an additional emission light of the value document W, for example the luminescence which is caused by a different luminescent substance than the luminescence whose decay time ⁇ is checked. The additional emission light is preferably detected in a value document area in which the luminescence, whose decay time ⁇ is checked, does not occur.
- a first detector 1 is used, the spectral sensitivity of which covers an additional spectrum, which the second 2 and the third detector 3 both do not cover.
- the spectral sensitivity of the first detector 1 extends into a longer-wavelength spectral range than that of the second 2 and the third detector 3.
- the first detector 1 detects a clear luminescence signal, that of the additional luminescence intensity located in the additional spectral range equivalent. From a luminescence in this additional spectral range, the second 2 and third detector 3 each detect no luminescence signal. The emission of the additional emission light is clearly detectable, since this case is clearly distinguishable from all cases of FIGS. 3, 4 and 5. For there always also the second 2 or the third detector 3 detects a clear luminescence signal.
- a second 2 and a third detector 3 are used, the spectral sensitivity of each because it covers an additional spectral range that the first detector 1 does not cover.
- the spectral sensitivity of the second 2 and the third detector 3 each extends into a longer wavelength spectral range than that of the first detector 1.
- the second 2 and third detector 3 each detect a significant luminescence signal, that in the additional spectral range corresponds to additional luminescence intensity. From a luminescence in this additional spectral range, the first detector 1 does not detect a luminescence signal, only the second or the third detector.
- the emission of the additional emission light is clearly detectable and clearly distinguishable from all cases of FIGS. 3, 4 and 5.
- FIG. 2b shows another exemplary embodiment, in which the sensor 100 has further detectors n, which detect the luminescent light of the illuminated value document W which, when it moves relative to the sensor 100, emits in further detection regions Dn of the measurement plane E.
- the further detection areas Dn are arranged along the direction of movement T, after the preceding detection area D2, but before the first detection area D1.
- the first, the second, the third and the further detectors 1, 2, 3, n can be formed by a one-dimensional photodetector array in which the detectors are formed on the same substrate, for example.
- the further detectors Analogously to the first, second and third detectors, the further detectors generate n further luminescence signals Sn of the further detection regions Dn. In analogy to the third luminescence signals, it may be advantageous for certain measurement conditions to also use the luminescence signals Sn for checking the decay time, for which purpose, for example, the ratios Sn / Sl are formed. Furthermore, the sensor 100 further detectors m, which detect the luminescent light of the illuminated value document W in further detection areas Dm of the measurement plane E. The detection areas Dm are arranged along the direction of movement T, after the first detection area Dl. The luminescence signals Sm can also be used to check the decay time of the luminescence.
