I. Introduction

Overview

The ATR120 is an electronic across-the-card time clock, which can be used for a weekly or a biweekly pay period. The unique ATR121 Time Card offers a weekly time card on the front and a biweekly time card on the back. The day progresses across the card from left to right in six columns. This is accomplished by pressing one of the card-positioning buttons (IN-OUT) on top of the clock. The pay period (day of week) moves down the card, top to bottom. You may select the time of day you want this “day change” to occur. You may also select the starting day of your pay period during the easy set up procedure.

The ATR120 offers two-color printing so employee punches outside normal punch times will print in RED allowing for quick and easy auditing of exception punches. The built-in signal can be programmed to audibly denote start and stop work times. The large analog clock face, not electronically synchronized with the digital display, is easy to read from across the room.

With a built-in battery back-up, auto daylight saving adjustments and a perpetual calendar, the ATR120 Time Clock will always print the correct time.

IV. Getting started

Installing clock dial battery

The front cover must be opened before the clock dial battery can be installed. Opening the front cover also allows you to set the clock's analog time. You will need to do this occasionally to synchronize the clock dial to the digital display and printer.

To open the front cover, turn the clock on its back and remove the two outer

screws on bottom of clock. Stand the clock upright with the back facing you. With both thumbs press down on IN1 and OUT3 buttons while using your fingers to push cover away.

The clock dial panel is shipped locked into place. You have the option of removing the tab that locks the clock panel into place for easy access when setting the clock. If you remove the locking tab, we suggest you keep the tab. To remove the locking tab, unfasten the screw located in the front cover and remove the screw and clip. The screw and clip may be stored by securing it into the post screw hole below where it was removed. It is not necessary to remove the locking tab to install the battery or to adjust the clock dial time setting.

Once the front cover is open, you will be able to install the battery and to set the time on the dial. Opening the front cover also allows you to access the ribbon cassette.

V. Setting the ATR120

Programming Hints

The ATR120 incorporates features to make the task of time and attendance faster and easier.

The simplest way to program the ATR120 is to set all of the functions, at one time, while in the program mode. Although, you may set functions independently it is recommended that you follow the program sequence.

When programming the time, and the time of day for events to occur, the display will show time in a 24-hour format (i.e. 3:00 PM will be 15:00).

To place the clock in the program mode, set the program switch located on back of clock, in the upper left corner from “NOR” to “PRO” (top position). This now activates the 6 manual card-positioning switches (“IN1”, “OUT1”, etc.) on top of the

clock to function as program switches. With the dust cover open you will find that these program switches are numbered 1 – 6 to simplify programming the ATR120

The first switch on the top left of the clock (IN1) functions as the feature selection switch and will advance you through the program mode. This switch also allows you to skip over a feature and advance to the next feature without programming. Once a feature is selected, switches “OUT2” through “IN3” will be used for programming. We'll refer to the switches as buttons one through six.

The last switch on the right, button six or “OUT3” is used to save the program selection to memory. IMPORTANT: If OUT3 is flashing in the lower right corner of the display, the programmed changes have not been saved.
