GENERAL INFORMATION
The RM5 validator is the result of the investment made by Comestero to provide the market with a
reliable and extremely versatile product. The project started two years before the introduction of
the new European currency, the EURO.Many were the investments as well as the visits to the
different European mints in order to introduce a decidedly advanced product on the market.
Despite our engagement we found out remarkable differences between the different coins
produced in the various mints and even among the coins of the same mint. These differences are
mainly caused by the alloy, i.e. the metal used. To face this problem, i.e. making the equipment
accept the highest number of Euro coins possible, although structurally different, the RM5 coin
validator has been equipped with 60 channels, thus increasing the possibility of adjusting up t 59
different coins.
The brand new electronics of the RM5 validator combines the extraordinary selectivity due to
seven measuring sensors to the extreme versatility thanks to the CLONING system which allows to
duplicate the equipment directly on site within a few seconds.
The series of RM5 electronic coin validators has been designed to fully meet the different
requirements of the sectors using this product. In particular:
-
automatic distribution
-
gaming and amusement
-
gas stations
-
parking areas

photocopiers
