All-weather ATM Helps Improve Business Climate

WeatherMaster

Qualtex Corp.

If you're looking to capitalize on a blank commercial wall or window space, have you considered a revenue-generating opportunity with a through-the-wall cash dispenser?

The WeatherMaster is a weather-resistant, through-the-wall stainless steel cash dispenser that looks like a standard bank ATM. It requires no stand, and for safety purposes all management functions are accessible from the rear of the machine, which means employees that access the machine don't have their backs to the street. The ATM is also 3DES compliant.

The WeatherMaster began as the MBC1031, an interior through-the-wall ATM released by Midwest Bancard Corp. in October 2001. Qualtex Corp., a new spin-off of Midwest Bancard, has released a weatherproof version of the MBC1031 under the name WeatherMaster.

Some of WeatherMaster's standard features include a weather-resistant anti-glare LCD; a backlit ATM sign that lists national ATM networks; and a manual, ultraviolet-resistant door covering bill catcher. The rear of the ATM has a stainless steel cabinet with a quarter-inch stainless steel door that opens from right to left and has both an electronic lock and key lock.

The inside of the ATM has a rear screen and keypad for management functions, a De La Rue MiniMech dispenser with a slide-out tray that holds 1,000 notes, a Fujitsu 80 mm thermal graphic printer with coupon capabilities, an electronic journal with 1 mb of memory that holds up to 2,040 transactions, and a 2400 dial-up baud modem.

Optional features include a TCP/IP modem and software for remotely managing the ATM's applications with downloadable graphic options for on-screen advertising.

The WeatherMaster is a fairly compact machine; its dimensions are 19.5 inches in width, 22.5 inches in height and 20.125 inches in depth.

Qualtex also provides its customers with product support. The company has its own team of ATM technicians, offers unlimited phone support at no charge, and ATMs come with a one-year parts warranty.

So far, Concord EFS, Inc., Core Data, EFT Logix and Genpass have certified the WeatherMaster ATM for use in the U.S.; the ATM also has received international certification from TNS Smart Network.
