Mounting Unit on Wall

The unit can be mounted on a wall using the supplied mounting fittings. To mount the unit

on a wall, take the following steps:

Install wall mount screws (supplied)

into a wall 3.94 inches (10 cm) apart.

Be sure to keep about 0.12 inch ( 3

mm) of the screw head out of the wall.

The supplied screws are intended for use on a thick wooden wall or wooden column. Do not use them on any other materials. There is a danger that the unit may come off if used on other materials.

Mount the wall mount fittings

as shown on the right.

Environmental Conditions

Avoid placing the unit in environments that are:

• humid or dusty

• exposed to direct sunshine

• subject to frequent or continuous vibrations

• outside the temperature range between 23˚F (-5˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C)

• affected by chemicals or ozone

4. DAILY OPERATIONS

Once the AC line cord is plugged into the outlet, the recorder can be used immediately. Basic

operations, including the time and dates are preset.

It is easy to operate the unit. The time card is automatically pulled in, printed and then

ejected.

Refer to "3.BEFORE USING TIME RECORDER".

Do not let any metallic object get into the slot including paper clips. Do not

forcefully push in a card, either. These may cause the unit to malfunction.

The number of cards that can be automatically registered is a maximum of 50 cards.

When a new card is inserted, the card will automatically be registered, and will print the

"IN" print on the first line. The month will be printed on the first line also or on the line

when the month and printing line change.

You can print "IN" and "OUT" as many times as you want per day. Concerning the printing

line, it will slide one line down each time you insert the card for "IN" print.

You can choose 3 functions for the buttons. You must set these modes before inserting any

card in order for it to be valid.

Refer to "Functions for the buttons".

When the card that you are using becomes full, it will show "END" on the display. When

the "END" appears, you can use the "Card reassign" mode to transfer the card and have a

new card take over from the old one.

Refer to "Card reassign".

When you want to reset the card (clear the accumulated totals) manually, you can use the

"Card reset" mode to reset a sigle card or use the "All cards reset " mode to reset all the

cards in memory. It is not necessary to routinely reset cards manually, since the clock does

this automatically each pay period (unless using Job Cost Mode ).

Refer to "Card reset" and "All cards reset".

Functions for the buttons

You can select one of three functions for the buttons.

Required

You must push the "IN" or "OUT" button immediately prior to inserting the time card. If not,

the card will be ejected and an error sign will appear.

"RESET".

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH 7000E

This time recorder can operate in one of two modes; Payroll Mode or Job Cost Mode.

In Payroll Mode and Job Cost Mode, the recorder prints total elapsed time between

IN(Start) and OUT(Stop), and also prints a running total of accumulated time per time card

on each line. The clock matches pairs of punches and calculates the elapsed time between

that pair using predefined rounding rules. The recorder always prints the actual time on the

time card, regardless of rounding rules. In Payroll Mode the hours accumulate and reset

based on "pay period settings" that are configured during setup. In Job Cost Mode the

hours for each unique card can accumulate and reset based on "manual card reset"

("cleared") by performing a manual operation on the time recorder.

For Rounding, there are two options; Hourly Rounding, Punch Time Rounding. For

Hourly Rounding, the recorder calculates the hours from time IN punch and time OUT

punch, and rounds that result with the "Rounding Unit". The fractions that occur after

rounding will be omitted by breakpoint. For Punch Time Rounding, the recorder rounds

both the time IN punch and the time OUT punch, and then it calculates the hours from the

time IN punch and the time OUT punch. When rounding the time IN punch, it will raise

the fractions that occur and, for the rounding of the time OUT punch, it will omit the

fractions by breakpoint.

The functions for the buttons on the front of the recorder can be set. There are three

options; Required, Optional, Disabled.

Refer to "Functions for the buttons".

In order to properly identify missed punches, the recorder has Max In Value that is used to

pair punches for calculations. If the next punch following an IN punch exceeds the Max In

Value(i.e.,13hrs.), then it assumed that the employee forgot to punch OUT, and that punch

is actually printed as the next IN punch. The employee can override this and force the

recorder to make OUT punch by pressing the OUT button before inserting the time card.

The buttons must be enabled. (See "Setting the Button Function".)

Break times can be automatically deducted from totals using the "Auto Break Deduction"

feature. You must set a base working elapsed time and break duration. Once total working

hours reaches to Elapsed Time, Break Duration will be deducted from the total working

hours.

Example: Auto Break Deduction setting

Elapsed time ··· 8 hours Break duration ··· 60 min.

D.S.T. execution time

Daylight saving time function

At 2:00 a.m. on the first day of summer time, the clock

automatically gains one hour to show 3:00 a.m. When 2:00

a.m. comes on the last day of the summer time period, it loses

one hour and returns to 1:00 a.m.

Setting D.S.T.

Example:

Start date Sunday, March 30, 2003

End date Sunday, October 26, 2003

If set as the above, the unit remembers the start date as the

last Sunday of March and the end date as the last Sunday of

October. Once set, the unit automatically updates the settings

every year thereafter. No further manual setting is necessary.

When there is a time change between the "IN" and "OUT" because of the "Daylight Savings"

settings, an "S" will appear on the calculated result as a record mark.

In order to prevent miscalculations on the day you adjust the "Daylight Savings" time,

punching "OUT" the next day is not desirable.

The "S" mark may not be printed properly when "Daylight Savings" turned on because of

other changes in settings.

The setting for daylight saving time will be
