employee hours and last 4 punches.
Dip Switch
The Dip Switch on the MTX-15 PCB in most instances should
not have to be changed from the default factory setting, which
is both S1 and S2 set to ON as follows:
Switch 1: Enables the termination resistor (ON position).
When RS-485 serial communications are used and the terminal i s
located at the end of the serial chain, this switch should be ON. It
should also be ON for Modem and Network terminals. For all RS-485
terminals except the last one, this switch should be OFF.
Switch 2: Disables RS-485 communications (OFF position) in order
to permit firmware upgrades via RS-232 (serial models only). For
normal operation, this switch should always be in the ON position.
Note: Firmware upgrades should never be attempted without
consulting Amano Technical Support for detailed instructions.
Data should always be polled from the Amano Time &
Attendance Software before updating the firmware on the
terminal as the current punch information at the terminal
could be lost.
The following Figure illustrates the DIP switch location on the MTX-15
PCB relative to other MTX-15 PCB components.

Wall Mounting
Warning! Before selecting a mounting location for your MTX-15, you
must consider the following:
The mounting surface and hardware must be able to support the
unit’s weight, 6 lbs. (2.7 kg).
The area must be within the specified operating temperature range.
Close proximity to a power source or wall outlet.
The area or wall can accommodate signal and/or power conduits.
Note: Wiring can be routed through either cable feed.
Note: If you are using rigid (1/2” EMT) conduit, secure the conduit to
the bottom cable feed using two nuts, making sure the pipe
doesn’t extend beyond the thickness of the nut. Do not bend
the cable feed.
Amano recommends the following procedure for wall
mounting:
Step 1. Insert the key into the keyhole, turn clockwise, and remove the
back plate as shown (see Figure 3). Set the terminal face up
on a flat surface. Do not remove the key.
Figure 3: Rear Back Plate Removal
Step 2. Using the back plate as a template, mark the location of the
upper mounting hole on the wall. Mark a vertical line on the
wall as a guide to align the lower mounting hole.
MTX-15 Installation & Operation Guide Page 1-3
Step 3. Install a screw or anchor at the mark and hang the back plate
from the top-mounting hole. Level the back plate by centering
the vertical line in the bottom hole (see Figure 4).
Step 4. Mark the location of the bottom hole.
Step 5. If using the square Cable Feed hole in the Backing Plate for
power or communications, mark this location (see Figure 4).
Step 6. Install another screw or anchor for the bottom-mounting hole
and secure the back plate to the wall.
Note: The Rest Slots on the terminal slip over the Rest Hooks (see
Figure 4) on the Back Plate to hold the terminal in the open
position for wiring and configuration, such as connecting to the
signal relay to ring a bell (see Figure 7).

Coin Battery Activation (setup retention)
Once the terminal back plate has been removed the coin battery should
be activated with the terminal face down, by pulling and removing the
green paper insulating strip from under the coin battery (see Figure 5).
This battery is used to maintain time/date setup.

MTX-15 Installation & Operation Guide Page 1-5
Battery Backup for Full Power Reserve
Once the terminal back plate has been removed the 6 disposable AA
batteries should be inserted in the battery slots in the correct position
[polarity] (see Figure 7). These batteries are used to provide emergency
full power reserve for a limited time should AC power to the terminal be
interrupted. During this type of emergency the terminal will maintain full
function utilizing the power from these batteries to let employees in or
out. However, the amount of reserve power provided by these batteries
corresponds to the battery level as these batteries are disposable and
not charged by the MTX-15. Also, the battery life can be reduced by the
type of MTX-15 (i.e., the Ethernet MTX-15 requires the most power). The
function of these batteries should not be confused with the coin battery
function, which maintains power to the flash memory for setup and
transactions.

Signal Relay Circuit (used to ring Bell/Buzzer)
Warning! All connections to the relay contacts must be Class 2 wiring
with a maximum of 24 VDC, 1A.
The MTX-15 is equipped with one (1) NORMALLY OPEN (NO) relay
contact that can be used to control external equipment such as a bell or
buzzer. Connection to the contacts is via the screw terminal block
located on the back panel PCB alongside the serial connector. The
terminal block can be removed from the PCB to facilitate wiring
(see Figure 8). If removed, once connections are made, carefully
re-install the terminal block.

Communication Connections
Connections between your Host PC and MTX-15 terminal(s) are based
upon the model of the MTX-15 terminal you have purchased (SerialDirect, Ethernet-network, or Modem).
Serial Connection
Use the CommStik™ (50 foot RJ-11 to USB) communications cable to
interface with the host PC. This part comes standard with the Time
Guardian MTX-15/A300 package. If you purchased the terminal
separately, Amano recommends that you use Amano AUS-10065x
CommStik™ (50 foot RJ-11 to USB) Communications Cable to interface
with the host PC.
RS-485 communications can be used for systems requiring up to 31
terminals. You will require the following accessories for each additional
RS-485 terminal:
AMX-206950: Communications Cable – 10’, 6 conductor RJ-11
AMX-206700: Junction Box
Page 1-8 MTX-15 Installation & Operation Guide
Note: When there is only one RS-485 MTX-15 terminal in the
system, DIP Switch 1 must be in the ON position to enable the
termination resistor.
Note: If the distance between the terminal and the host PC is more
than 50 feet, two junction boxes will be required (see the next
page), or you can use an RJ-11 coupler with a RJ-11
extension cable, not to exceed 3,950 feet.
Multi-terminal (maximum of 31) applications require the DIP Switches to
be OFF in all but the last terminal on the communications line. DIP
Switch 1 of the last terminal must be set to ON to enable the termination
resistor so that all the terminals can properly communicate with the Host
PC. The terminal settings and connections between the PC and
terminals for this application are as follows:
MTX-15 Installation & Operation Guide Page 1-9
*The maximum number of terminals is dependent upon the distance and
the quality of cabling used. It is recommended that Belden Low Voltage
Computer Cable, P/N 9841 or equivalent be used to connect the junction
boxes for this application.
Warning! Please note that terminal #3 (used for the RS-485 cab le
Shield) is disconnected from the internal RJ-11 receptacle
of the junction box. This is deliberate; the shield connection
is NOT fed through to the MTX-15 Terminal.

MTX-15 Startup (Initialization)
Once connections have been made and the terminal back plate has
been mounted on the wall, the MTX-15 terminal can be initialized. To do
so perform the following:
Step 1. Re-install the MTX-15 terminal on the back plate by placing the
notch on the bottom of the Back Plate (see Figure 3) over the
plastic tab in the bottom of the terminal cabinet. Pivot the
terminal up so the locating pin on the Back Plate aligns with its
corresponding hole in the cabinet. Rotate the key
counterclockwise to lock the terminal in place. Remove the
key.
Step 2. Plug in the terminal AC power adapter into an outlet. The
terminal will beep and do the following:
Test memory banks “0” through “6” and display the results.

Chapter 2: MTX-15 Operation with
Time & Attendance Software
The MTX-15 is a data collection terminal to record the time attendance
information, which is integrated with the Amano Time & Attendance
software such as Time Guardian, Time Guardian Plus and Time
Guardian Pro for further data processing. The MTX-15 terminal enables
an employee to swipe a magnetic badge card, use a proximity reader, or
enter his/her badge number and other information. It has a 12 button
numerical keypad to enter the badge number with 4 additional function
buttons for operation, configuration, or Diagnostics (see Chapter 3). The
terminal has a graphical LCD display to show the current date/time and
other information depending upon the mode. The terminal can be
powered through the AC power adapter or utilize backup power from AA
batteries (not included). It can be connected to the host Time &
Attendance computer by modem, serial-direct, or Ethernet-network
interface. The MTX-15 Data Collection Terminal can support:
12 Digit Badge Number: The MTX-15 supports a 12 digit
employee badge number. When the MTX terminal bar code or
mag card reader reads a card, it reports 8-digits to the software.
However, a proximity card will report 12-digits.
View Punch Information: The MTX-15 allows the user to view
the last 4 punches on any MTX-15 terminal in a multiple terminal
configuration. The Time & Attendance software will download the
last 4 punch data of each employee to each MTX-15 terminal at
a predetermined time every night. Each terminal will hold the last
4 punch information in its memory for all employees in the table.
The user can view the last 4 punches from the main screen as
shown in Figure 19.
Note: The latest punch will replace the last punch and be displayed
only at the terminal where the punch occurred. All other
terminals will have to be polled by the Time & Attendance
software to get updated punch information.
View Hour Information: The MTX-15 allows the user to view the
number of hours on any MTX-15 terminal in a multiple terminal
configuration. The Time & Attendance software will download the
number of hours in each different pay category for each
employee to each MTX-15 terminal at a predetermined time.
Each terminal will hold the hour information in its memory for all
employees in the table. The maximum type of the hours will be
MTX-15 Installation & Operation Guide Page 2-1
limited to 5. The host software will decide the number of hours
that should be downloaded and the text label for each hour type.
The user can view this information from the main screen as
shown below.
Lock-In Schedule: The MTX-15 supports the ability to restrict
the employee to a certain time period. The schedules are
configured and downloaded from the Amano Time & Attendance
software. Each employee can have his/her own schedule for
each day with a grace time period configured for all employees
through the software. The terminal will allow the user to punch
during the grace period. For example, if there is a 15 minute
grace period for start time and a 30 minute grace period for end
time, the terminal will allow the user to punch between 7:45AM to
5:30PM for a normal 8:00AM – 5:00PM schedule. Once this time
period is expired, the terminal will restrict the user from making a
punch on the terminal.
Unlock Schedule: If the employee has passed the scheduled
time to punch, the supervisor has the ability to unlock the
schedule to allow the employee to punch. When the employee
table is downloaded, there is one field that distinguishes between
the regular employee and the supervisor. Only a supervisor is
allowed to override the schedule so the employee can punch.
Note: Previous versions of the Amano Time & Attendance software
cannot enable all the discussed features on the MTX-15
terminal. These previous versions are;
Time Guardian v4.0 or lower.
Time Guardian Plus v1.0.
Time Guardian Pro v3.7 or lower.

MTX-15 Installation & Operation Guide Page 2-3
Note: The terminal contains repunch protection. An
error message, “E03 Only one” will appear if you try
to punch more than one within 3 minute period.
Note: All employee information such as hours, punches, and unlock
schedule is always displayed at the MTX-15 terminal in military
time format (i.e., 5:00PM = 17:00). However, the clock time
displayed is controlled by the settings in the Amano Time &
Attendance software, which can be set to either AM/PM or
military.
Note: When performing View Punches, View Hours, and Unlock
Schedule the same error messages can appear for invalid
punch, etc.

2-8 MTX-15 Installation & Operation Guide
Lock-In Schedule Feature
The new MTX-15 firmware has the ability to restrict the employee to a
scheduled time period. For example, depending on the schedule an
employee will not able to punch before 8:00AM and after 5:00PM,
Monday thru Friday.The schedules can be configured and downloaded
from the host Time & Attendance software. Each employee will have
his/her own schedule for each day. See the Time & Attendance Software
User Guide for additional information about Schedules.
A grace period for the lock-in schedule feature can be defined in the
Time & Attendance software. If a grace period is defined it will affect all
employees and all schedules on the terminals that have the lock-in
schedule feature enabled. If some terminals have this feature disabled
then it will not be active on those terminals.
For example, an enabled lock-in schedule of 08:00am to 05:00pm with a
grace period of 15 minutes for Start and End times would allow an
employee to successfully punch from 7:45am to 5:15pm. The following
error message will appear for invalid punch due to lock-in schedule rules:
“E07 ScheduleLock”
Unlock Schedule Procedure at the MTX-15 terminal
The MTX-15 firmware supports the ability to restrict invalid employee
punching times. The following procedure can be used at the terminal to
override lockout and allow an employee to punch. For example, an
employee might be asked to work on Saturday and need supervisor
assistance to punch.
For successful procedure, the Supervisor will need his/her
badge:
Step 1. From the normal main display press the menu button on
the left to view employee information choices (see Figure 25).

MTX-15 Terminal Communications
The Communications module in the Time & Attendance software is
used to communicate with MTX-15 terminals when setup. Locations and
terminals can be configured utilizing the Time & Attendance software
Clock tab in the Setup Wizard. Operations from this module include
polling, downloading, setting the time, and viewing specific terminal
settings in a location. Polling, or polled operation, refers to actively
sampling the status of the external terminals by the client Time &
Attendance program. Downloading is utilized to send data to the remote
terminals from the Time & Attendance software.
Note: All operations at the clock including time and employee ID’s
are controlled by downloading information from the Time &
Attendance software.
The following sections describe how to setup the Amano Time &
Attendance Software to communicate with the MTX-15 terminal for
normal time and attendance functions.
MTX-15 Installation & Operation Guide Page 2-15
MTX-15 Setup with Amano Time & Attendance Software
Note: Prior to commencing with the Time & Attendance software
Setup Wizard, Amano recommends that you install the MTX15 terminal(s), using this MTX-15 Terminal Installation and
Operation Guide. The MTX-15 terminal is installed to
communicate with your PC/Time & Attendance software. You
may need to obtain the IP address for each Ethernet MTX-15
terminal(s) connected to the system. Also, see the section on
“Network Configuration” for how to obtain an automatic IP
and/or enter a specific IP in your MTX-15 terminal.
During the installation and setup of the Time & Attendance software the
Setup Wizard for Step 8: Clock Setup is optional;
Figure 39: Clock Setup from Time & Attendance Software
2-16 MTX-15 Installation & Operation Guide
Use Step 8 if:
Do you have Terminals other than Access Control Terminals?
If Yes, the Time & Attendance software will automatically poll and upload
punches from connected MTX-15 terminals each time the software is
opened.

specific MTX-15 terminals in the system. When validation is used, only
employees assigned to a particular terminal with the selected Labor
Levels can use that terminal. Labor transfers at the terminal can only
occur within the selected Labor Levels. Terminal Validations are
downloaded to the selected MTX-15 terminals by location from the
Communications module. To do so, see the Time & Attendance Software
