AVANSA MaxDetect 190: Engineered for Peace of Mind

The AVANSA MaxDetect 190 is more than just a money detector; it is a critical layer of financial security for your business. Designed for reliability, this device leverages an advanced detection system to scan every banknote with precision. It provides a seamless check, giving you a Pass or Fail result in under a second. This speed and accuracy are crucial for busy retail environments where staff cannot afford to spend time on manual verification. As one manager noted, the goal is to be able to "spend minutes, not hours, counting money". The same is true for verification. The MaxDetect 190's design is focused on minimising false positives, which can be a problem with cheaper, "cheaply made" machines that trigger "many false positives when the bills are fine". This ensures your business operations run smoothly and without frustrating interruptions.

The device is equipped with sensors that check for a variety of security features, including ultraviolet (UV) markings, magnetic ink (MG), and infrared (IR) patterns, which are invisible to the naked eye. This multi-point analysis ensures that even the most sophisticated counterfeit notes are detected. Its compact footprint means it fits easily on any countertop, keeping your workspace neat and organised. It also runs silently, so it won’t disrupt your staff or customers. Investing in a MaxDetect 190 is a smart business decision that protects your assets and builds confidence in your cash handling processes.

Asked Questions

What is the difference between a money counter and a counterfeit detector?
A money counter counts the number of banknotes and can detect fakes. A counterfeit detector only verifies if a single banknote is real or fake. The AVANSA MaxDetect 190 is a detector, not a counter.
How does the AVANSA MaxDetect 190 check for fake notes?
It uses three key methods: UV (Ultraviolet) light to reveal security threads and watermarks, MG (Magnetic) sensors to check for magnetic ink, and IR (Infrared) sensors to confirm ink properties.
Is this machine suitable for small businesses?
Yes, the AVANSA MaxDetect 190 is an excellent entry-level solution. It is affordable, easy to use, and provides the essential security needed to protect your business.
What currencies does it detect?
The MaxDetect 190 is specifically designed and optimised to detect all South African Rand banknotes.
