Comparison Kisan Smart vs Cassida Zeus

The maximum amount of bills or coins that can fit in the pocket (tray) of the counter; in other words — the largest amount of monetary units that can be counted per one run without reloading (and when reloading money, it is worth considering the capacity of the receiving tray — see below)

Note that this parameter is quite approximate — bills can have different thickness, and furthermore, coins are usually arranged randomly. However, it is still undesirable to exceed the recommendations for capacity in order to avoid overloading the gears.

The number of receiving pockets provided in the design of the counter; only indicated if there is more than one pocket. In this case, the compartment for rejected bills is not taken into account (for more details, see "Capacity of the pocket of rejected bills").

Pockets in this case are compartments into which the loading tray of the device is divided. They are used for sorting bills/coins according to one or another parameter (see below); accordingly, the number of such compartments can be used to estimate the overall sorting capabilities. So, the simplest option is two pockets, which allows you to separate money according to the principle “match/do not match a certain parameter” (for example, “dollars and other currencies”, “notes with a denomination of less than 100 and more than 100”, etc.). However, it can be more pockets, that makes it possible to sort by several parameters at once. Such a design is especially relevant for coin counters, where money of several denominations is often loaded at once, and they must be clearly separated; in such machines, the number of receiving pockets can reach 10. Bill sorters have more modest capabilities, they rarely have more than 4 pockets.

The capacity of the pocket for rejected bills provided in the design of the counter. To be more precise, only bills sorters have this feature (see "Product Type"): it is not found in regular counters (both bills and coins).

The pocket for rejected money is a separate compartment, which receive discarded bills are received: counterfeit, heavily worn, dirty, etc. This compartment is considered as a separate function and is not counted of total number of receiving pockets (see “Number of receiving pockets). As for its capacity, it is usually rather small compared to the capacity of the loading and receiving pocket: after all, usually rejected bills make up a very small part of the total stack.

Types of bills sorting provided in the device. Sorting itself is found both in specialized note and in coin counters (see "Product Type"). This paragraph is describing the criteria of sorting types which can be processed. However, in devices for coins, only one criterion is used — by denomination ; so basically this list is relevant for paper money sorters. In such models, in addition, sorting by face, by orientation, by dilapidation and by date of issue can also occur. Here are the features of each of these options:

— By face. Sorting type that allows you to lay out all the bills face up. With this procedure, bills are divided into two trays, depending on which side they are up; after that, it is enough to take one of the stacks and turn it over as necessary. It should be noted that this function is most often combined with sorting by orientation (see below) — these types of sorting allow you to bring all bills exactly in one position, which is important, for example, before loading into an ATM.

— By orientation. Sorting that allows you to separate bills lying "upside down". Such bills are sent to a separate pocket, after the end of the procedure, it is enough to remove there the entire pack and turn it to the desired orientation. This feature is often combined with the sort by face d...escribed above, but can be used separately and is generally much more common. This is due to the fact that ordering both by orientation and by face is required relatively rarely — mainly when loading into an ATM and in other similar types of machine money processing; and for convenience, when counting by a person, it is not necessary to place all the bills in exactly the same way — it is enough to deploy them in one orientation.

— By denomination. Sorting of recounted money by denomination. It should be reminded that this is the only type of sorting used not only for bills, but also for coins; specific capabilities of devices with this function may be different. So, the simplest option is to separate bills that do not correspond to some denomination, or that have a denomination more or less a certain value. This operating mode is found only in models for paper money. A more advanced way is sorting by several denominations at once — for example, 1, 5 and 10, or 5, 10 and “greater than 10”. The specific number of simultaneously available denomination options may be different, it can be determined by the number of receiving pockets (see above for more details, but here we recall that in general there are more such pockets in coin devices than in bills sorters).

— Fitness sorting. A feature that allows you to identify bills with obvious signs of dilapidation: old, worn, etc. One of the most popular ways to use this feature is to select money to fill ATMs: such bills should be as new as possible. In addition, sorting by dilapidation can be useful for general purposes — to detect bills of unsatisfactory quality and exchange them for new ones at an authorized banking institution.

— By date of issue. A rather specific feature that is rarely found — mainly in professional-level devices. This is due to the fact that sorting by year of issue is usually not needed in daily work with the cash register, it is used in some special tasks — for example, identifying old (or obsolete) bills for subsequent exchange for new ones.

— Auto start. Counters with this function can automatically start working when money is in the tray. This get rid of turning on the count manually every time, which saves a lot of time and effort — especially when working with a large amount of bills or coins.

— Value counting. Possibility of summation of the result of several calculations. This feature is especially useful in cases where all the money that needs to be counted cannot be loaded into the device at one time: you can charge small portions, and the total amount of money will be calculated automatically.

— Batch feature. In this case, packing means the ability to count a strictly defined number of bills/coins from a stack or pile loaded into the counter. This function is designed mainly for cases where bills/coins are to be packed in packs of a certain quantity (hence the name). At the same time, in some devices you can select any number of bills or coins, in others only a few standard options are available (for example, 10, 20, 50 and 100).

— Serial number scan. Possibility of reading the serial numbers printed on the bills. The specific usage of this feature may vary. So, some devices are able to compare the numbers printed on different parts of the bills; the discrepancy between these numbers indicates that the bill was glued together from sev...eral parts. More advanced models are able to compare recognized numbers with a special regularly updated database, which contains counterfeit or potentially counterfeit bills (often they can be identified precisely by the serial number). It may also be possible to write all read bills to the memory of the counter or to an external drive such as a USB flash drive — this can be useful for some specific cash handling tasks.

The availability of a touch screen in the counter — similar to those used in smartphones. Such a screen provides additional convenience in operating: it is more versatile and visual than traditional control panels with buttons and switches, it can display various control elements (buttons, lists, sliders, numeric keypad, etc.) and service data in the text or graphic form. At the same time, the touch screen is more expensive than usual; for comfortable use, the display should be quite large, which further affects the cost; and it makes sense to use such displays only with an abundance of additional settings — a device with relatively simple functionality is quite enough of traditional controls. Therefore, this feature is found mainly in professional-level counting machines, although occasionally there are exceptions.

The power consumed by the counter in regular operation mode. Usually, the regular mode means the counting process with all additional functions; in standby mode the power consumption is significantly less.

In most cases, this spec is relatively small — even high-end models rarely consume more than 400 watts. Therefore, this parameter has practical importance primarily in specific cases — for example, when calculating the load on a voltage stabilizer or an uninterruptible power supply.
