About the CLS coin recycling system
The CLS is a coin recycling system used in retail checkout zones and self-service cash systems
as well as in banks‘ front offices reliably accepting and dispensing all coin denominations of a
currency. As part of a point of sale terminal coins can be deposited and dispensed either by the
cashier or direct by the customer. The automated closed loop system assures error-free and
tamper-proof but also quick coin acceptance and payout of coins.
The coin recycler is powered using a separate power supply with power cable. The CLS is oper-
ated and controlled using the customer-side PC software for the control unit connected to the
payment system.
