Armed with the powerful electronic microcontroller, (like a small computer system) the AK5 can automatically identify the coin by material, thickness and diameter.

l Multiple coins

It designed to set 5 different output value groups at the same time; every output value set can program 10 types coins.

Different output values mean number of output pulse.

l Setup coins by training

Programming the type of coin by training, when AK5 is in programming mode it memorize the data of material, thickness and diameter of the coins. When AK5 is in working mode it will recognize the coins by a complicated calculation and process these memorize data.

l Adjustable the recognized accuracy

There is a switch in the AK5 can adjust the accurate degree of recognizing sensitive.

l Alarm guard system.

The AK5 has software guard system; this guard system has alarm, which prevents opportunistic behaviors.

2.2 Specifications

l Apply to coins diameter = 18m/m - 29m/m
