MEET AURORA

AURORA uses the high-performance power of Intel’s® 80C251 microprocessor to provide fast, reliable note recognition. Using GPT’s proven, patented RGBI optical technology, AURORA can validate currency from any country — no options to configure, no hardware to change. With its high capacity resident memory, AURORA can process up to 64 different notes in all four directions. AURORA’s advanced software databases ensure rapid recognition of more than 50 curriences worldwide. AURORA also allows multiple currency databases to be stored simultaneously! AURORA has been specifically designed for use within harsh, unattended and remote locations where reliability is of prime importance. The unit features a heavy-duty ABS plastic bezel, which is backed by a steel frame. Internally, the optical housings are sealed to protect the electronic components against liquid intrusion. The internal antistringing system uses GPT’s unique optical array to provide the highest possible security protection. In order to ensure reliable operation in the toughest environments, all sensors are constantly monitored and adjusted to accommodate the changing conditions, such as temperature, light, etc. All these features are provided within an industry standard envelope—meaning that AURORA can be easily installed into a multitude of applications.

Currency Validator

To ensure the note moves smoothly and evenly through the validator, AURORA features an all-plastic channel with a positive-drive mechanism. All sensors are optical (i.e., no mechanical flags or fingers are used), which seriously reduces the likelihood of notes jamming during transport. In addition, the optical sensors detect notes as they are inserted, rejecting those that are overly skewed. The lockable, removable cash box features an integrated drive system. This design ensures the note is positioned correctly for stacking regardless of its orientation. A new, innovative stacking mechanism stacks either paper or plastic notes swiftly and reliably. The optional Soft-Drop Analyzer (SDA), in the stacker, records each transaction as accepted or rejected. This information can be downloaded into accounting databases and used for management information purposes.
