ISS (Ink Staining Solution) protects cash directly inside the ATM cassettes. In an explosive attack, the ink containers in the cassettes burst and stain the banknotes. The loot becomes worthless to criminals – and a further explosion is no longer worth it.
ISS needs no electronics and no power supply and is very easy to retrofit into existing cassettes. We handle planning, supply and installation – from a single branch to your entire estate.
The ink containers have predetermined breaking points and are triggered by the pressure wave of a gas or solid-explosive detonation – with no delay. Forceful blows to the cassette also trigger them. There are no sensors, batteries or cables that could fail or be tampered with.
With 500 ml of ink per cassette, the banknotes are extensively stained within seconds. Stained money is practically useless to criminals.
An additional marking charge in the ATM head bursts during the first explosion. If the attacker sees the ink, the likelihood of a second explosion targeting the safe is reduced.
ISS is fitted in the cassette lid. Capacity, replenishment and cassette handling remain unchanged, and false triggering in daily operation is ruled out.
ISS is available for the cassettes of widely used device families – for both small (€5–20) and large denominations (€50–100).
Your model is not listed? Get in touch – we will check the options.
We record sites, device types, cassettes and denominations – including cash centres and branch replenishment.
An individual quotation and an installation plan that does not interrupt your cash operations.
Our technicians retrofit the cassettes directly in your branches or cash centre and label them with the installation date.
The manufacturer recommends replacing the ink every three years. Together with you, we check its condition and replace it if needed.
A passive system works without electronics, sensors or a power supply. The ink is released purely mechanically by the pressure wave of an explosion. This makes ISS particularly robust, easy to retrofit and low-maintenance in daily use.
Yes. ISS responds to the pressure wave of both types of attack and also to forceful impact such as blows to the cassette. It triggers immediately, with no delay.
Active systems rely on electronics, sensors and their own power supply. ISS needs none of this: the investment is lower, installation is simpler and there are no electronics to maintain. According to the manufacturer, its use is also independent of approvals from ATM manufacturers.
No. It is triggered only by the pressure wave of an explosion or by forceful impact on the cassette. False triggering is ruled out during normal replenishment, transport and cassette exchange.
No. The ink container sits in the cassette lid, so the number of banknotes per cassette stays the same.
The manufacturer recommends replacement every three years. We check its condition together with you and only replace it when necessary.
Yes. ISS makes the loot worthless, while an APC night shutter makes mechanical access to the ATM harder. Together with you, we decide which combination makes sense for your sites.
We will record your inventory and prepare an individual quotation.
