drop duct has allowed for a significant reduction of the time taken by the coin to travel
inside the mechanism, in order to allow the recognition of 6 coins per second. The
sophisticated recognition system consists of 5 sensors (3 inductive, 1 optical and 1
magnetic) and is based on the comparison with 10 parameters. RM5 HD is equipped
with new state of the art anti-fraud system Electronic detection of the retrieving wire,
electronic detection of the coin movement direction, 3 mechanical traps along the
