Chapter 1Overview
What Are the Series 4000 Timeclocks?
The Series 4000 timeclocks are data collection devices designed to communicate
with the ADP Enterprise Labor Management Suite of host applications.
The Series 4000 timeclock collects information entered by employees using the
barcode reader and the keypad. You use your host application software to collect
data from the timeclocks to track and process labor-related data, generate
management reports, and transfer information to your payroll service.
The Series 4000 timeclock features include the following:
!Schedule enforcement, which controls when specific employees can swipe in
and out
!Display of employee names, vacation, sick time, and other totals (host
application dependent)
!Messaging, which allows the timeclock to display messages to individual
employees (host application dependent)
!Function keys to perform various functions and transactions, such as labor
account transfers and pay code transactions
Standard Hardware Features
The hardware features of the Series 4000 timeclock include the following:
!Integrated bar code badge reader supporting use of the following codes:
–Interleaved 2-of-5
–Code3-of-9
–Codabar
–Universal Product Code (UPC-A and UPC-E with optional 2- and
5-character supplements)
–European Article Numbering (EAN-8 and EAN-13 with optional 2- and
5-character supplements)
–Code 128 (compressed and uncompressed)
!Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that indicate whether an employee’s badge is
read successfully, and whether the timeclock is connected to an external
power source or operating on battery backup
Optional Devices
You can order the following optional devices separately and connect them to the
Series 4000 timeclock. Installation instructions are provided with each device.

Understanding How the Series 4000 Timeclock Operates
Understanding How the Series 4000 Timeclock Operates
Before using the Series 4000 timeclock to perform time and attendance, and labor
tracking functions, it is helpful to understand:
!How the timeclock functions with the host application
!Cross-punching
!Modes of operation
!Labor tracking functions
How the Timeclock Functions with the Host Application
You use the host application to configure employees and employee information
such as schedules, schedule margins, shift length, punch restrictions, and labor
accounts. You then use the host application software to send this information to
the Series 4000 timeclock. The timeclock accepts or restricts employee punches
based on this downloaded information. Non-home employees can use a timeclock
if cross punching is enabled from the host application.
When you swipe in at the Series 4000 timeclock, the punch information is
collected and stored in the first-in-first-out (FIFO) data queue of the timeclock’s
memory. You use the host application t o collect the stored data. The host
application totals the hours, computes any overtime, calculates the wages, tracks
the labor, and generates reports based on the data it collects from the timeclocks.
If your host application is eTIME, you use its data collection timeclock
communication feature (Commlink application) to define which functions and
transactions users can perform at the timeclocks. You also use the host
application’s communication functions to transfer data between the application
and the timeclock. For more information, see the eTIME System Manager’sGuide
and the eTIME online Help.
Series 4000 Badge Timeclock User’s Guide1-7
Chapter 1Overview
If your host application is Enterprise eTIME, you use Data Collection Manager
(DCM) to define which functions and transactions users can perform at the
timeclocks. You also use DCM to collect, transfer, and monitor the flow of data
between the host application and the Series 4000 timeclock. For more
information, see the Data Collection Manager System Administrator’s Guide and
the DCM online Help.
Cross-punching
The cross-punching feature enables employees to use timeclocks that they are not
assigned to. Each employee is assigned to a specific timeclock. They are
considered a home employee to that particular timeclock. At times, an employee
may need to use a timeclock that they are not assigned to for simple punching
purposes. In this case, they are considered a non-home employee. This is where
the cross-punching feature comes in.
You enable the cross-punching feature in the timeclock’s data collection
communication feature.
Modes of Operation
The Series 4000 timeclock operates in three modes. Each mode has its own set of
functions and requires a specially coded badge for access.
!Employee
The Series 4000 timeclock most often operates in Employee Mode. In
Employee Mode, the timeclock accepts punch data entered using the badge
reader and keypad. In this mode, only “home” employees (employees who
have been assigned to the timeclock from the host application) whose badge
number or employee ID have been downloaded from the host application can
use the timeclock. If cross-punching is enabled in the timeclock program, then
non-home employees can use the timeclock as well as home employees.
1-8ADP, Inc.
!Supervisor
Supervisor Mode allows you t o perform tasks such as editing employee
punches, adding missed employee punches, and overriding restrictions to
allow employees to punch. Supervisor Mode is accessible only to those who
have a supervisor badge and unique password.
!Maintenance
Maintenance Mode allows you to display technical information about the
timeclock, execute the timeclock’s self-diagnostic tests, and perform
timeclock configuration functions. Maintenance M ode is available only to
those who have a maintenance badge and unique password.
Labor Tracking Functions
In addition to performing time and attendance functions, your Series 4000
timeclock may be configured to perform labor tracking functions using either
departments or labor accounts.
Understanding How the Series 4000 Timeclock Operates
If your Series 4000 timeclock is configured to use departments, an employee’s
time is associated with a single cost center, for example, shipping, medical, or
engineering.
If your Series 4000 timeclock is configured to use labor accounts, an employee’s
time can be associated with multiple labor levels. Typically, when labor accounts
are used, an employee’s time is associated with cost centers that have a
hierarchical relationship to each other, for example, programmer-softwareengineering or drill press operator-tooling-manufacturing.
When your Series 4000 timeclock is initialized with the host application, a list of
valid department numbers and labor levels can be downloaded to the timeclock.
If your timeclock is configured to perform labor account validation, employees
enter labor levels by pressing the numeric keys on the timeclock or by accepting a
default number by pressing ENTER. The Series 4000 timeclock validates each
labor level against the list of labor levels stored in its database. If you attempt to
enter an invalid labor level, the entry is rejected and an error message appears on
the display.
Series 4000 Badge Timeclock User’s Guide1-9
Chapter 1Overview
Entering Data at the Series 4000 Timeclock
When entering data at the Series 4000 timeclock, you use the timeclock’s badge
reader, keypad, and soft keys.
Using the Badge Reader
You most often enter data at the Series 4000 timeclock by swiping a badge
through the timeclock’s badge reader. To allow the timeclock to read the badge
successfully, users should:
!Hold the badge so that the bar code is positioned on the back left edge.
!Swipe the badge through the reader’s slot from top-to-bottom or bottom-to-
top.
If the Series 4000 timeclock reads the badge successfully, the green LED
illuminatesand its internalbeeper emits a single tone. If the timeclock fails to read
the badge, the amber LED illuminates, its internal beeper emits three t ones in
quick succession, and an error message appears on the display.
