1. General Description
BR-15, the banknotes recycling module is a core processing module with integration of notes
validation, deposit, recycling and notes automatic replenishment. It features high reliability and
availability and friendly maintenance. Through banknotes recycling change giving, BR-15 reduces
the idle cash in the self-service equipment, lower the frequency of the replacement of deposit
cassette and replenishment cassette. Through loading with different denominations of notes, it
decreases the time consumption for notes replenishment and sorting, thus to raise operation
efficiency. The module features high reliability, accessibility and maintainability in reducing cash
exposure, calculating cost allowance and settling accounts.
BR-15 is mainly applied in small amount cash transaction service industries, such as the AFC
system in mass transit industry, Kiosk with deposit and cash recycling functions in banking
industry, self-service equipment in parking lot and self-service payment system in retailing
industry.
