Model Configurations

Five base configurations available: TC500A-RL2 (2 cassettes), TC500A-RLC1-2 (2 cassettes + 1 hopper), TC500A-RL3 (3 cassettes), TC500A-RLC1-3 (3 cassettes + 1 hopper), and TC500A-RL4 (4 cassettes). Select based on your bill volume and change requirements.

Installation Flexibility

Rear-load design enables wall mounting or placement in corners where front access is restricted. Consider proximity to electrical outlets and adequate clearance for service access from behind.

Denomination Management

Each cassette accepts only one denomination, allowing precise tracking of bill types accepted. Plan cassette allocation based on your location’s typical customer bill patterns.

Security Upgrades

Standard dual locks provide basic security. Consider 3-point T-handle or Medeco lock upgrades for higher-risk locations or increased peace of mind.

Remote Monitoring Option

Remote access board and router upgrade enables real-time monitoring of machine status, bill counts, and operational data for route operators managing multiple locations.

Ideal Placement

Suitable for arcades, family entertainment centers, laundromats, car washes, and other coin-operated venues requiring reliable bill-to-coin conversion. Compact footprint works well in space-constrained locations.
