HiStone HERO II – a POS terminal built for daily wear

The HiStone HERO II is designed for the kind of use that actually happens in a busy café, restaurant, or retail shop. The 15" (38.1 cm) capacitive touchscreen responds quickly when orders are coming in fast and customers are waiting at the counter — no lag, no missed taps.

Performance that keeps up with your floor

The Intel Celeron J processor runs at 2.0 GHz, and with 8 GB of RAM and a 128 GB SSD, the system starts up quickly and stays responsive throughout the day. Background tasks — syncing sales data, installing a software update — happen without slowing down the screen in front of you. That matters most on the nights you can least afford a delay.

Connections for the devices you already have

One of the practical strengths of the HERO II is that it ships with more ports than most counter setups will ever need:

• ·6 × USB for standard peripherals — scanner, keyboard, card reader
• ·Powered USB for a receipt printer, no separate power cable required
• ·3 × RS232 for legacy serial devices, including older barcode scanners
• ·Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbit) for a stable, wired network connection
• ·Drawer kickout (RJ11) to connect a cash drawer directly from the unit
• ·Audio for notification sounds or background music if your setup needs it

The adjustable pole lets you set the screen angle and height to suit your specific counter — whether you're standing behind a coffee bar or a service desk.

What's in the box — and what you order separately

The HERO II ships with a power supply unit and an EU power cable. The operating system is ordered separately, so you pay only for what you need and don't carry an unused licence. Vaivatta can help you choose the right OS and POS software combination for your sector — just get in touch.

Three-year warranty

The HERO II comes with a 36-month warranty. That means the hardware investment stays predictable well beyond the first year — no surprise replacement costs in year two either. The unit is dark grey, a finish that sits cleanly in most shop and restaurant environments without drawing attention to itself.
