The Datacard™Snooper™SQ45 card counting system provides a fast, reliable
solution for counting a wide variety of cards quickly and accurately. It improves
accountability and security in any card operation, and immediately reduces the risk
of manipulated, lost or stolen cards. Plus, its compact design fits virtually anywhere.
• Fast, high-precision counting. The Snooper SQ45 system counts cards and
verifies the total 50 times in just two seconds. This rapid performance streamlines
your card inventory processes and helps accelerate card operations.
• Unprecedented versatility. The Snooper SQ45 system can count a wide range
of card types. It counts white cards through shrink-wrap in standard boxes, and
counts other cards either in boxes or directly from the system tray. This is done
with a high-speed camera that never touches the cards, which prevents scratching.
• Convenient, user-friendly design. Just load the cards or card boxes on the system
tray and use the digital tactile screen to select the card program you want to count.
The display shows the results, which can be printed on a label or report.
• Flexible set-up. Auto-tuning selects the correct settings automatically. You
can also use Datacard®SQTools software to detect problems visually with a
connected PC. This software also enables Datacard Group to provide technical
assistance remotely.
