struction and upward opening cover, the cash drawer has a very small foot-
print.The hinged cover’s wide opening angle makes coins and bank notes

base plate and the electronic unit it accommodates, the plastic housing,
the coin trays and the electromechanical lock.An extra jack is provided for
connecting a second cash drawer.

The money compartments
The moneycompartments
The housing has four
bank note compart-
ments, eight coin
compartments and a
compartment be-
neath the coin com-
partments for
checks, large bank
notes, rolls of coins
and receipts.
The bank note compartments on the left-hand side are adjustable by me-
ans of removeable dividers.These dividers can be installed either vertical-
ly or tilted by 10degrees, thus allowing you to set the depth of the
individual compartments. Spring-loaded pressure plates attached to the di-
viders press the bank notes toward the front so that they are firmly held in
place.
The money compartments
GB - 6
To the right of the
bank note compart-
ments are two coin
trays with four coin
compartments each.
The coin trays are in-
stalled in the cash
drawer one behind
the other. The fact
that the trays are se-
parated means that
only the front tray
need be removed to
access the check
compartment be-
neath it.
