Energy-absorbing modulesEffects

EAM reduce the destructive effects of an explosion

• The door of the safe remains closed

• Neighboring apparatus and parts of the civil struct ure remain intact

• Much reduced risk of health hazards otherwise cause d by explosion'sdestructive force

• Money stored in the ATM remains protected

• Repeated failures scare away potential bank robbers

Energy-absorbing modulesAreas of use of EAMs

Suitable for both retrofitting and for mounting on newly manufactured ATM

• Suitable for retrofitting in most existing safes

• Each safe design requires its own EAM set for retro fitting

• Retrofitting by specially trained, authorized servi ce companies

• ATM safes starting from resistance grade II

• The cost of retrofitting is somewhere in the region of 2% to 8% of the as-new value of the ATM

• It takes an authorized service company approximatel y30 minutes to upgrade an existing ATM with an EAM s et
