Octopus Components
The Octopus system has 3 major components: the Monitor and Control Unit (MCU), the
Cassette Staining Units (CSU), and the iButton reader.
Monitor and Control Unit (MCU)
The Monitor and Control Unit (MCU) is mounted inside the ATM safe. The purpose of
the MCU is to monitor the status of the system and to control the activation of the
Cassette Staining Units (CSU) and other optional features. The MCU is enabled or
disabled using an I-Button Key (see iButton description below). The MCU monitors tilt
violation, proper door and door-bolt opening (if configured for the Door-Bolt mode), and
integrity of the optional breach panel. When the system detects an attack, it directs the
CSUs to activate and stain the currency, and also activates any optional alarm features.
