ACLAS FC4 (Type C) – Online Fiscal Control Unit & eTIMS Bridge

The ACLAS FC4  (Type C) is a specialized, ultra-compact Online Control Unit (OCU) engineered to integrate existing automated business software and enterprise resource planning systems (such as QuickBooks, Tally, or SAP) directly into Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) TIMS and eTIMS compliance. Rather than acting as a standalone cash register, the FC4 operates as a secure “fiscal box” that sits in the background, automatically signing and transmitting transaction data to the tax authority server.

Housed in a space-saving anti-adhesive enclosure, it features a 240 x 320 pixel backlit 4-line LCD display for system and network diagnostics. Equipped with a FIPS Level 2 certified secure cryptographic integrated circuit (IC) for bank-level data encryption, it securely archives encrypted records for up to 5 years. It provides always-on connectivity through built-in Wi-Fi, 4G/3G LTE cellular modules, and a hardwired Ethernet port.
