ICT BR2300 bill recycler banknote acceptor CCTalk LED for self-service machines

The ICTBR2300CCTINT unit, described as a bill recycler ICT BR2300 CCT INT 5 LED, is a high-performance banknote acceptor with change-giving functionality designed for self-service kiosks, vending machines, parking pay stations and access gates. It validates and accepts incoming banknotes, stores them and recycles a selected denomination for payout, combining validator, recycler and cashbox functions in one compact module. Thanks to its CCTalk and MDB interfaces, the device integrates easily with modern controller boards, while the multi-LED front bezel provides clear visual feedback about readiness, note insertion, acceptance and error conditions. The large recycler capacity and optional cassette sizes reduce refill frequency and on-site service visits, helping operators lower their overall cash handling and maintenance costs.

Construction, interfaces and key technical features

• Compact modular bill recycler consisting of a validator head, recycler section and lockable removable cash cassette, designed for installation behind kiosk and machine fascias.
• According to the kiosk description, the BR2300 can accept the complete banknote series of a given country, with the recycled payout denomination set in software to match local requirements.
• Typical acceptance rate is around 96% with support for 15–32 denominations, providing fast and reliable transactions even in high-traffic applications.

• A removable cash cassette and accessible note path simplify cleaning, maintenance and cash removal, reducing machine downtime.
• Auto-calibration technology helps maintain high acceptance rates over time while reducing the need for frequent manual adjustments.
• Durable mechanics and high-quality components provide long service life, even in intensive self-service and vending environments.

Typical applications and operator benefits

• Self-service ticket vending machines in public transport and event venues where fast note acceptance and efficient banknote change payout are critical.
• Vending machines and automatic retail systems in which the CCTalk and MDB interfaces allow straightforward integration with existing controllers.
• Parking pay stations and pay-on-foot terminals seeking to reduce refill frequency and on-site cash handling through banknote recycling.
• Access gates and unattended kiosks that benefit from secure banknote validation and automatic note payout, improving user experience.
