Chapter 1: Overview
Operation Summary
The MRX-35 is an advanced electronic time recorder that calculates
daily and weekly employee hours based on user-defined options and
operating parameters.
The MRX-35 allows you to define the following parameters and userdefined options:
• Rounding
• Daily and Weekly Overtime
• Pay Period Selection
• Day Change Options
• Overtime Options
• Hour, Minute, and Date Imprint Formats
• Fixed Break Deduction
• Automatic Break Deductions
• Revision Zones
• Exception Zones
Both the operating and user-defined parameters in the MRX-35 are
configured using programming cards. A set of (3) Basic Programming
cards and (3) Advanced Programming cards are included with the MRX-
35.
MRX-35 1-3
User enrollments (ID numbers) are not required for the MRX-35. Hours
are stored for each user in the MRX-35 under a special user number that
is encoded on both sides of the time card. This information is stored in
the MRX-35 for two pay periods and then it is automatically deleted. This
information can also be manually deleted by using one of the
programming cards supplied with the MRX-35. When the programmed
pay period has ended, a new time card must be issued. When a new
time card is issued, the MRX-35 stores the data for the card under a new
user number, therefore eliminating the need for enrollments.
When all parameters are configured in the MRX-35, it is ready for use.
Employees simply punch IN and OUT. These punches will appear on the
time card in their corresponding columns.
The number of hours that appear in the DAILY NET, REG, OT1, and
OT2 columns are dependent on the options programmed. Hours that
appear in the DAILY NET column are the daily totals for a given day,
which may include Rounding, Breaks, or Revision Zones (if
programmed).
Hours that appear in the REG, OT1, and OT2 columns are accumulated
totals that will be calculated for each day that there is a pair of punches.

Chapter 3: Programming
Introduction
The MRX-35 must be programmed and configured before use. Basic
Programming consists of time, date, imprint, and display formatting, as
well as Pay Period, Time Rounding, Auto Breaks, Fixed Break, Overtime,
Daylight Saving Time (DST), and Day Change Time adjustments.
Advanced Programming mode involves creating Exception and Revision
Zones. An Exception Zone prints a next to the punch time on the time
card during a specified period. A Revision Zone “revises” a punch time
(IN or OUT punch) inside a specific period to a pre-configured time to
prevent employees from accumulating extra time by punching in early or
punching out late. Up to (6) Exception and (6) Revision Zones can be
programmed.

time set for each break is automatically deducted provided that the
employee works the minimum number of hours to qualify for each break.
Example 1: One IN and OUT punch per day.
IN1 = IN Punch 1 = 8:00 Auto Break 1 Hours = 2:00
OUT1 = Out Punch 1 = 17:00 Auto Break 1 Deduct = 0:15
Auto Break 2 Hours = 5:00
Auto Break 2 Deduct = 0:45
Scenario 1: An employee punches in for the day at 8:00 hours. At 10:00
hours, Auto Break #1 will begin. At this time, the clock will deduct a 0:15
minute break for the employee.
At 13:00 hours, Auto Break #2 will begin. At this time, the clock will
deduct a 0:45 minute break for the employee. At 17:00 hours, the
employee will punch out for the day. Their total accumulated hours for
the Daily Net Total will be 8:00 hours (17:00-8:00-0:15-0:45=8:00).
Example 2: Two IN and OUT punches per day.
IN1 = IN Punch 1 = 8:00 Auto Break 1 Hours = 2:00
OUT1 = Out Punch 1 = 13:00 Auto Break 1 Deduct = 0:15
IN2 = IN Punch 2 = 13:45 Auto Break 2 Hours = 5:00
OUT2 = Out Punch 2 = 17:00 Auto Break 2 Deduct = 0:45
Scenario 2: An employee punches in for the day at 8:00 hours. At 10:00
hours, Auto Break #1 will begin. At this time, the clock will deduct a 0:15
minute break for the employee.
3-12 MRX-35
At 13:00 hours, Auto Break #2 will begin and the employee will punch
out. At 13:45 hours, the employee will punch back in. At this time, the
clock will deduct a 0:45 minute break for the employee. At 17:00 hours,
the employee will punch out for the day. Their total accumulated hours
for the Daily Net Total will be 8:00 hours (17:00-8:00-9:00-0:150:45=8:00).

Overtime can be calculated on a daily or weekly basis; two levels of
overtime can be set for each one. For overtime to be calculated, you
must set the number of hours to be worked in a day and/or a week
before overtime can be accumulated. Overtime hours in the OT1 and
OT2 columns are accumulated for the pay period as follows:
The OT1 Column contains a cumulative total of all Daily OT1 and Weekly
OT1 Hours that have exceeded the Daily or Weekly OT1 thresholds.
The OT2 Column contains a cumulative total of all Daily OT2 and Weekly
OT2 Hours that have exceeded the Daily or Weekly OT2 thresholds.
The OT1 and OT2 totals for the Pay Period will be printed on the last line
used on the time card.
Example: Daily Overtime
If the Daily OT #1 is set to 7, and the employee works 10 hours, the
employee will receive 3 hours overtime for that day.
If the Daily OT#1 is set to 7 and Daily OT#2 is set to 10 hours, and the
employee works 11 hours, the employee will receive 3 hours in Daily
OT#1 and 1 hour for Daily OT#2 for that day.

Revision Zones
A Revision Zone is a window of time in which the employee may punch
in or out (not both), but the MRX-35 will not begin or end calculation at
the moment of punch. A punch time in a Revision Zone will be “revised”
to a pre-configured time. A Revision Zone consists of a Punch Type,
Start Time, and End Time. If the Punch Type is set to IN, then the actual
punch time within the Revision Zone will be revised to the Revision Zone
End Time. If the Punch Type is set to OUT, then the actual punch time
within the Revision Zone will be revised to the Revision Zone Start Time.
When a Revision Zone is enabled, the MRX-35 considers “revised”
punch times to be the official IN or OUT punches. This feature will
prevent employees from accumulating extra time by punching in early or
punching out late. Up to (6) Revision Zones can be created.
Example: IN Punch Revision Zone
Revision 1 Start Time = 7:30 Punch Type = IN
Revision 1 End Time = 8:00 Actual Punch Time (IN1) = 7:39
Since the Punch Type = IN, the Actual Punch Time of 7:39 will be printed
out on the time card, and revised internally to 08:00 for calculation
purposes.
Example: OUT Punch Revision Zone
Revision 2 Start Time = 17:00 Punch Type = OUT
Revision 2 End Time = 17:30 Actual Punch Time (OUT2) = 17:19
Since the Punch Type = IN, the Actual Punch Time of 17:19 will be
printed out on the time card, and revised internally to 17:00 for
calculation purposes.
Note: No two Revision Zones with the same punch type can overlap.
Example: (Overlapping Revisions)
Revision #1: Punch Type = IN Beginning Time = 7:00 End Time = 7:30
Revision #2: Punch Type = IN Beginning Time = 7:30 End Time = 8:00
Example: (Non-Overlapping Revisions)
Revision #1: Punch Type = IN Beginning Time = 7:00
Revision #2: Punch Type = IN
Beginning Time = 7:31
End Time = 7:30
End Time = 8:00
