Regarding the 100 & 200 Euro updates, we made evaluations of machines for which there will be no more software updates available. This pertains also all other currencies!

Reasons for this are the following:

• The sensor technology is too old, which is the matter why the new notes cannot longer be recognized to 100%.
• The memory capacity of each device is no longer sufficient, as the new Euro Updates require a lot of memory.

These are the following devices:

Counterfeit detectors:

• CCE 110 BASE PROFI LINE
• CCE 110 BASE
• CCE 110 DUO

Banknote counters:

• CCE 230 MULTI
• CCE 240 BASE
• CCE 240 MULTI
• CCE 340 MULTI serial numbers up to 340M-000650. From serial number 340M-000651 it is still being checked.
