Introduction

HandPunch 1000 Manual

The HandPunch 1000 is a member of the Recognition Systems’ line of biometric hand geometry Time and Attendance Terminals1. The HandPunch records and

stores the three-dimensional 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:

• 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. Recognition Systems Inc., founded in 1986, built the first mass-produced hand geometry readers and made biometric technology affordable for the commercial market. Today, Recognition Systems’ 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 1000 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 platen1. 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 5 when reviewing the information in this section.

The HandPunch has an integrated keypad for ID entry (see Figure 1-1). The

CLEAR ENTER

and 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.

1. 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.

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 15) is provided to assist in planning wire routing.

The recommended height for the HandPunch platen is 40 inches1 (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.

40 in. (102 cm.)

NOTE

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

1. This height conforms to ADA standards.

Page 9

Planning an Installation

Wiring 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.

Power Input 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

WARNING

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. Additional options installed and specific configurations within the HandPunch make it difficult to predict precisely how long battery support will last, but in

Page 10

HandPunch 1000 Manual

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 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

Modem Host Computer Connection

The design of the power supply is such that main input power must be reapplied to re-enable 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 4conductor 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 18

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.

Page 11

Planning an Installation

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 15). The short black cable provided with the modem HandPunch connects the terminal to the telephone jack. Figure 4-4 on page 19 a wiring diagram for a modem to host computer connection.

To control access to the command menus, each menu has a unique password. This password is requested as a part of the process for accessing each menu. A supervisor must enter the correct password for that menu to access that menu. The default menu passwords are given in Table 3. To increase the security of the HandPunch, Recognition Systems recommends changing the passwords for the command menus to new numbers. These password numbers can be up to 10 digits long. This is done with the Set Passwords command described on.

Enrollment Menu

Remove User

Security Menu

Authority Level

A second method for controlling access to the command menus is through the use of Authority Levels. Authority Levels control whether or not a user has access to the command menus.

• Level 0 is for a user who does not need access to any of the command menus.

• Level 5 is assigned to Supervisors who need access to all of the command menus.

Page 29

Programming the HandPunch

The HandPunch automatically assigns Authority Level 0 to users enrolled by the Add Employee command. Authority Level 5 is automatically assigned to users enrolled by the Add Supervisor command.

NOTE

Until a user has been assigned to Supervisor, every user can access every menu. Once a user has been enrolled using the Add Supervisor (designated as a supervisor), all further user authority levels are assigned. The first person enrolled should be enrolled using the Add Supervisor command. This protects the integrity of the system. Recognition Systems strongly recommends enrolling at least two users as supervisors to ensure that more than one person has the authority to access all menus and all commands.

Programming Order

When setting up HandPunch operations there is a general programming/ operations order that should be followed.

Set HandPunch Site Parameters – Set the HandPunch site parameters to meet

site-specific needs and usage: change the language used by the display, set the HandPunch’s address, and set the serial communication baud rate (used if you have installed a serial printer – see page 34).

Enroll Supervisory Staff – Enroll yourself and the supervisors who will have

responsibility for HandPunch management. This is done through the Enrollment Menu (see Supervisor Enrollment on page 42).

NOTE

WARNING

The time, date, and ID number length are normally set by the host computer. However, a supervisor can change these parameters at a HandPunch after setup information has been downloaded from the host computer.

These tasks are done through the Setup Menu. The instructions for reader setup parameters begin on page 34.

Train and Enroll Users – Train each user regarding HandPunch usage and then

Enroll each user. This is done through the Enrollment Menu. The instructions for employee enrollment begin on page 39. Special enrollment allows you to enroll people with disabilities that prevent them from using the HandPunch properly. Employees with special enrollment ID numbers can punch in without biometric verification.

This means that anyone who knows a special enrollment ID number can punch in. This function should only be used if absolutely necessary. The instructions for special enrollment begin on page 43.

Page 30

System Management

Once a HandPunch system is in operation the following commands are used for system management.

List Users – List the Users authorized to use a HandPunch. This is done through

the Management Menu. The instructions for listing employees begin on page

37.

Set User Data – Set a user’s reject threshold (adjusting the sensitivity applied

when a HandPunch reads a hand) this task is done through the Management Menu. The instructions for setting user data begin on page 37.

Remove User – Remove employees (and supervisors) from a HandPunch. This

is done through the Enrollment Menu. The instructions for removing employees begin on page 42.

Set Time and Date

The Set Time and Date command allows the HandPunch’s time and date to be set. This is normally not necessary as the HandPunch’s time and date are set by the host computer.

Set Address The Set Address command allows a unique address to be set for each

HandPunch in a network. For proper operation, each HandPunch in the network must have a unique address. All units may use any address from 0 to 254. All units are sent with the address set to 1.

Set ID Length The Set ID Length command allows you to reduce the number of keystrokes

required to enter the ID number by eliminating the use of the key to

ENTER

complete an ID number entry. Once the ID Length is set, the HandPunch will automatically accept an ID number entry once the correct number of characters have been entered.

Set ID Length does not apply when ID entry is made from a card reader. Once the ID Length is set, the T & A Mode Set command appears, allowing you to configure the HandPunch to prepare punch data for time and attendance software.

Set Serial The Set Serial command allows you to set the baud rate communication

parameters.

Upgrade This Upgrade Menu is where the HandPunch code gets input to allow for a

Memory Upgrade.

Enrollment Menu

Enrollment is the process of recording a hand image and associating it with an ID number. The first person to enroll in the HandPunch has access to all command menus. This person should enroll using the Add Supervisor command (see page 42). Once a supervisor has been enrolled, all further enrollments use the following rules:

• A user enrolled through the Add Employee command (page 42) is assigned

• A user enrolled through the Add Supervisor command (see page 42) is

HandPunch 1000 Manual

Authority Level 0. This allows the user to punch in and/or gain access through a door secured by the HandPunch.

assigned Authority Level 5. This allows the supervisor to punch in and gain access through a door secured by the HandPunch, and it allows the supervisor to access all command menus.

NOTE

Navigating the Setup Com

mand Menu

Until a user has been assigned to Authority Level 5 using the Add Supervisor command, every user with Authority Level 0 can access every menu. This is done to ensure that the first person enrolled is able to access all the menus to perform all the programming required to support the HandPunch. Once a user has been enrolled using the Add Supervisor command, all further user authority levels are assigned as per the list above. This protects the integrity of the system by enacting the Authority Level rules described above. Recognition Systems strongly recommends enrolling at least two users as supervisors to ensure that more than one person has the authority to access all menus and all commands.

Advance planning and training make enrollment fast and easy. Users should be informed on what to expect and how to place their hands on the HandPunch before you enroll them.

Enter the appropriate password to enter the Setup command menu. Once you have entered the command menu, there are three options available for navigating the command menu system.

• Press to enter the command shown on the display.

• Press to step to the next command in the menu.

• Press to exit the command menu (pressing any numeric key also exits the command menu). If you are in a command’s sub-menu, press

CLEAR

multiple times to completely exit the command menu.

Page 39

Programming the HandPunch

Preparation Here are a few guidelines to help you prepare for an enrollment session.

• You can enroll one person or a group of people during an enrollment session.

• Each user must have a unique personal identification (ID) number. It will save you considerable time if you assign the ID numbers in advance.

• The HandPunch will not accept two people with the same ID number.

• If you enroll people using the last four digits of their phone numbers or social security numbers, you may get duplicate numbers.

• If you are enrolling large groups of people you may consider using an enrollment trainer. It is a replica of a platen that is available through your Recognition Systems reseller.

User Education

Proper Hand Placement

The HandPunch is easy to use and non-threatening. However, most people have never used a biometric HandPunch. Training users on how the HandPunch works and how to use it will eliminate most fears and concerns before they occur. Inform the users of these facts.

• The HandPunch reads the shape of the hand, not the fingerprints or palmprints.

• It does not identify people. It confirms people’s identity.

• It scans with an invisible light of the type used in TV remote controls.

• It does not transfer germs any more than a doorknob or money.

• It does not invade privacy; it guarantees it.

• The enrollment process requires three or more reads to collect enough information to create a template.

For correct, consistent hand reads it is very important that your hand is placed on the platen in the same manner every time. The following rules apply for proper hand placement on the platen also refer to Figure 8-2 bellow.

• If you are wearing a ring, rotate the ring so the stone faces up in its normal position.

• Slide your right hand onto the platen rather like an airplane landing at the airport.

• Slide your hand forward until the web between your index and middle finger stops against the Web Pin.

• Keep your hand flat. You should feel the surface of the platen on your palm and the underside of your fingers.

• Close your fingers together until they touch the Finger Pins and watch the hand diagram light display on the top panel.

• The lights go out when you have properly placed your fingers. If a light remains on, a finger is not in proper contact with its Finger Pin.

Page 40

HandPunch 1000 Manual

WEB PIN

Left Hand Enrollment

Some right hands cannot be used in the HandPunch due to disabilities such as missing fingers. You can enroll a user with the left hand facing palm side up. The techniques for left hand enrollment are the same as for standard enrollment. The user should keep the back of the hand flat against the platen and move the fingers against the web pin and the finger pins in the same manner as in standard enrollment. Users enrolled with the left hand must always verify with the left hand. Extra practice on placing the hand on the platen may be required to ensure correct, consistent hand reads.

Read Score When a user uses the HandPunch the display appears as follows.

OKAY (USER ID)

SCORE IS: (SCORE NUMBER)

The score number on the display reflects how accurately the user’s hand is placed on the platen. Scores that vary greatly between low and high numbers are indicative of inconsistent hand placement. Scores above 50 are indicative of improper hand placement or of a drastic change in the physical appearance of the hand. When this occurs, emphasize the importance of sliding the hand onto the platen and keeping the hand flat. Re-training and practice should lower a user’s score. It might be necessary to change a user’s reject threshold if the user has a mild disability. Re-enrollment might be necessary to create a new user template.

but is not verified against any stored identification data. A time zone value can be applied to the Special Enrollment ID number to limit access times. The HandPunch default is for no time zone to be applied.

NOTE

Special Enrollment affects the integrity of the HandPunch terminal and should only be used as a last resort. Anyone who knows a Special Enroll ID number is granted access when the ID number is used. Before specially enrolling a user, try to alleviate verification problems by adjusting the individual user’s reject threshold (see page 38) or by using left hand enrollment (see page 41).

HandPunch Maintenance

A minimum amount of system maintenance is required to keep HandPunchs fully functional. HandPunchs should be cleaned periodically to prevent an accumulation of dust from affecting the HandPunch’s readability. User Scores should be reviewed periodically to ensure the HandPunch is performing properly.

HandPunch 1000 Manual

NOTE

Cleaning the HandPunch

NOTE

There are NO user serviceable parts inside the HandPunch.

Once a HandPunch system is in operation there are two HandPunch commands that can assist with system maintenance. These commands are performed through the Service Menu. The instructions for these commands begin on page

32.

•Calibrate – View HandPunch exposure values.

• Status Display – Display HandPunch input/output status, the hand read score of the last user to verify on the system.

Inspect and clean the HandPunch regularly to maintain optimum performance. Clean the platen, side mirror, reflector, and the window above the platen using a clean cloth dampened with ordinary, non-abrasive window cleaner (see Figure 9-

1). Start at the rear corners of the platen and work your way forward.

DO NOT SPRAY CLEANING FLUID DIRECTLY INTO OR ON THE HandPunch.

Figure 9-1: HandPunch Cleaning

User Score Periodically check users’ scores (refer to the Read Score section on page 41).

Scores should average under 30. Occasionally a user will score above 30. This is not necessarily an indication of poor performance. If a number of scores average over 30, clean the HandPunch and check scores again. If scores remain high, or if users are experiencing frequent rejections, run the Calibration command (see page 32).

Tips for a successful Installation

HandPunch

• Think of the HandPunch as a camera

• Clean the HandPunch before it gets dirty

• Use non-abrasive cleaners such as glass cleaners and non-abrasive and

clean cloths

• Make cleaning the HandPunch part of Janitorial program

• Do not remove the foam backing from the wall mounting plate

• Seal any holes made in the wall for wire routing, so that dust will not

blow into the HandPunch

Location

HandPunch 1000 Manual

• Mount all HandPunchs in a network so that the top of the platen is 40”

off of the floor

• If an enrollment HandPunch is used make sure that it is placed with the

top platen 40” off of the floor and not sitting directly on top of a desk, this will help to eliminate “bad enrollments”

• Mount the HandPunch so that it is not difficult or dangerous to verify

then open the door

• It is not recommended to mount the HandPunch in an area where there

is airborne dust, in the path of direct sunlight, or where the HandPunch can be exposed to water or corrosive gasses

Enrollment

• Educate the Enrollee on Hand Geometry

• Explain enrollment process

• Train Enrollee on hand placement

-Practice placing hand on platen

-Make sure hand is flat on platen

-Close finger towards the center of hand

-Fingers gently touch finger pins

• Let the enrollee enter in their own ID number during the enrollment pro-

cess, this forces the Enroller to step aside allowing the Enrollee to stand in front of the HandPunch helping to eliminate “bad enrollments”
