Introduction

The HandPunch 2000 is a member of the Schlage Biometrics’ line of biometric hand
geometry Time and Attendance Terminals1. The HandPunch records and stores the three­dimensional shape of the human hand for comparison and identity verification. Upon
verification, the HandPunch records the time, date, user ID number, and collected time
and attendance data for collection by a host computer. The HandPunch can communicate
with a host computer.

The HandPunch provides proof-positive employee identification combined with the
sophisticated operating features one expects in a modern Time and Attendance Terminal.
Because of this unique combination of capabilities, the HandPunch provides the most
accurate Time and Attendance data collection terminal available. The key features of the
HandPunch include:

• Two programmable Function Keys

• Transaction Buffer

- 5,120 event capacity

• Programmable Clock and Date Formats and Daylight Savings Switch-over

Biometrics

Biometrics is a term describing the automatic measurement and comparison of human
characteristics. While its origins are ancient, the evolution of advanced scanning and
microprocessor technology brought biometrics into everyday life. Electronic hand
geometry technology first appeared in the 1970s. Schlage Biometrics Inc., founded
in 1986, built the first mass-produced hand geometry readers and made biometric
technology affordable for the commercial market. Today, Schlage Biometrics’ products are
in use in every imaginable application from protecting cash vaults to verifying employee
attendance in hospitals.

1 For the sake of using a consistent name throughout the manual, the HandPunch 2000 terminal

is referred to as the HandPunch for the remainder of this manual.

Introduction

Principle of Operation

The
HandPunch
Terminal

The HandPunch uses low-level infrared light, optics, and a CMOS (IC chip) camera
to capture a three-dimensional image of the hand. Using advanced microprocessor
technology, the HandPunch converts the image to an electronic template. It stores the
template in a database with the user’s ID number.

To gain punch, the user enters his or her ID number at the HandPunch’s keypad or uses
an external card reader. The HandPunch prompts the user to place his or her hand on
the HandPunch’s platen2. The HandPunch compares the hand on the platen with the
user’s unique template. If the images match, the HandPunch records the transaction for
processing.

The HandPunch is a time and attendance terminal designed for use with time and
attendance software. Refer to Figure 1-1 on page page 5 when reviewing the information
in this section.

The HandPunch has an integrated keypad for ID entry (see “Figure 1-1”). The CLEAR
and ENTER keys are used for data entry and programming.

Four different features assist the user with hand placement and read verification.

1. A light emitting diode (LED) hand placement display on the HandPunch’s top panel
assists users with hand placement on the platen.

2. A liquid crystal display (LCD) shows operational data and programming menus.

3. “Red light/Green light” verification LEDs quickly inform users if their verification
attempts were rejected or accepted.

4. An internal beeper provides audible feedback during keypad data entry and user
verification.

2 The Platen is the flat surface at the base of the HandPunch (see “Figure 1-1”). This is where

users place their hands for enrollment and verification. It has guide pins to assist positioning
the fingers during use.

Planning an Installation

NOTE

Site Preparation

HandPunch Placement

Before you begin installation, check the site blueprints, riser diagrams, and specifications
for important information about HandPunch location and for other systems that connect to
the HandPunch. Look for any existing wall preparations and wiring that other contractors
may have installed for the HandPunch. A wire routing layout diagram (see Figure 3-2 on
page page 15) is provided to assist in planning wire routing.

The recommended height for the HandPunch platen is 40 inches (102 cm) from the
finished floor. The HandPunch should be out of the path of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic, and convenient to the door it is controlling. Avoid placing the HandPunch where
users must cross the swing path of the door. The HandPunch should be in an area where
it is not exposed to excessive airborne dust, direct sunlight, water, or chemicals.

For the following sections, Schlage Biometrics does not supply hardware items such as
power or communications wiring.

Planning an Installation

NOTE

Wiring

Power Input

Two basic circuits typically connect to the HandPunch:

• Power Input

• HandPunch to Host Computer

- RS-232

- modem

The minimum wire size for these circuits is AWG 22; the maximum is AWG 18.

The HandPunch uses an internal switching regulator to obtain internal operational
power. It accepts input voltages from 12 to 24 VDC or 12 to 24 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz.
The HandPunch comes with a 120 VAC to 13.5 VDC power supply (Class 2, Model No.
P48131000A010G – 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 21 W, 13.5 VDC output @ 1000mA). An optional
220 VAC to 13.5 VDC power supply is also available.

To power the HandPunch with this power supply, a 120 VAC (or 220 VAC as applicable)
duplex outlet must be within 5 feet of the HandPunch. The power supply has a 6-foot
cable to provide a comfortable reach between power outlet and HandPunch. The barrel
jack at the end of the power supply’s cable is connected to J12 on the HandPunch PCB.

Battery Backup Operation

Do not connect a HandPunch’s power supply to a switched duplex outlet. The
HandPunch must have a constant source of power for proper operation.

An optional power-fail protection circuit board can be attached to the main circuit board
to provide and control battery backup. The battery backup option uses a 12 volt 800 ma/
hour sealed lead acid battery to provide backup battery power. This battery is located
immediately inside the rear panel of the HandPunch and plugs into jack J4 on the keypad
control circuit board located in the top of the chassis.

The design of the HandPunch’s internal power supply is such that any range of the
above input voltages may be used and still provide proper battery charge voltage and
battery backup operation. Switch-over to battery power is automatic and occurs when the
input voltage falls to approximately 10.5 volts. At that time the backup battery charger is
disabled to save power, and uninterrupted operation continues on battery power.

When input power is restored, the HandPunch switches off of battery operation and the
battery charger is re-enabled to recharge the battery. Battery charge voltage is set at
approximately 13.65 volts, and battery charge current is limited to approximately 50 mA.
A fully discharged battery requires approximately 12 hours of charge to fully recover.

10

HandPunch 2000 Manual

Additional options installed and specific configurations within the HandPunch make it
difficult to predict precisely how long battery support will last, but in general two hours
of battery operation can be expected. While operating on battery backup due to loss of
main input power, the battery output voltage is constantly monitored by internal circuitry.
If the battery voltage reaches approximately 9.5 volts the HandPunch automatically shuts
down. This is done to prevent full exhaustion of the battery. A yellow indicator on the
top panel illuminates to indicate that the HandPunch is running on battery power. This
indicator turns off when main input power is restored.

Shunt J7, which is located immediately in front of the DIP switches on the main logic
board (see Figure 4-1 on page page 17), enables or disables battery operation on those
HandPunches equipped with optional battery backup. If a HandPunch does not have the
optional battery backup package installed, J7 is not used. On HandPunches equipped
with the battery backup option, J7 allows service personnel a mechanism for disabling
battery backup operation before removal of main input power.

To fully power down a HandPunch equipped with battery backup, remove or reposition
shunt J7 so that the two pins protruding up from the main logic board are not connected
to each other. This effectively opens the circuit, removing the battery from any internal
circuitry. Main input power can then be removed and the HandPunch will fully shut down.
Once the HandPunch has fully shut down, shunt J7 may be reinstalled.

HandPunch to Host Computer Connection

RS-232 Host Computer Connection

The design of the power supply is such that main input power must be reapplied to re­enable the battery protection mechanism. If shunt J7 is not properly installed, the internal
backup battery will not be charged, and in the event of a main input power loss, the
HandPunch will shut down.

HandPunch/host computer communications can be configured in one of two ways:

• via a direct RS-232 connection

• via an optional Modem connection

A direct HandPunch connection to a host computer can be made through an 4- conductor
cable in an RS-232 serial configuration. A 6’ or 50’ cable may be purchased through RSI
or a wiring diagram for the RS-232 to host computer connection is found on Table 2 on
page page 18

Planning an Installation

Modem Host Computer Connection

The HandPunch is also available with an optional modem module for telephone line
communications between the HandPunch network and the host computer. When
connecting via modem, one HandPunch terminal must be configured with the modem
option. This terminal will communicate with the host computer.

To make the modem connection, a telephone jack must be installed on or in the wall
behind the modem HandPunch terminal. Position the RJ-11 jack location using the
template provided in this manual (see Figure 3-2 on page page 15). The short black cable
provided with the modem HandPunch connects the terminal to the telephone jack. Figure
4-4 on page page 19 a wiring diagram for a modem to host computer connection.

2. Measure and mark a point 48 1/2 inches (123 cm) from the surface of the finished
floor. This point will correspond to the Leveling Hole where the top-center point of the
HandPunch should be mounted.

3. For a hollow wall, drive a small nail into the wall at the mark and hang the wall plate
from the Leveling Hole located near the top of the wall plate.

4. For a solid wall, hold the wall plate against the wall, centering the Leveling Hole over
the mark in the wall.

Mechanical Installation

5. Align a bubble level with the top edge of the wall plate and gently rotate the wall plate
until the bubble level shows that the top edge of the wall plate is level.

6. Secure the plate to the wall using heavy masking tape.

7. Using the wall plate as a template, mark the locations of the two upper screw holes
and the three lower screw holes.

8. For a concealed wiring connection, trace the outline of the open area in the center
of the wall plate. Identify and mark a 1/2 inch hole through which the HandPunch’s
wiring will be mounted.

9. For a surface conduit wiring connection, mark the two conduit clamp holes at the right
side of the wall plate.

10. Remove the wall plate, masking tape, and the nail (if used).

Mounting the
Wall Plate

Routing the
Wire

1. For a hollow wall, use the provided hardware to mount the wall plate. Use the two
auger style fasteners for the upper two mounting holes. Use the toggle bolts for the
three lower mounting holes.

2. For a solid wall, use expansion bolts to mount the wall plate. For all five mounting
holes, drill a 1/4 inch diameter hole, 1/4 of an inch deeper than the length of the
expansion anchor.

1. Refer to Figure 3-2 on page page 15 for a template diagram to assist in routing wiring.

2. For a concealed wiring connection, drill a 1/2 inch hole in a convenient location within
the open area of the wall plate. Pull the wiring to enter the HandPunch through this
hole in the open area.

3. For a surface conduit wiring connection, drill a 1/4 inch diameter hole, 1/4 of an inch
deeper than the length of the expansion anchor for each of the two conduit clamp
holes. Route 1/2 inch, flexible conduit to the HandPunch, ending the conduit between
the two conduit clamp holes. Pull the wiring to enter the HandPunch through the
conduit. Pull 18 inches of wire past the end of the conduit to allow enough space for
final connection to the HandPunch.

4. Clear all dust and debris away from the HandPunch mounting location.
