2.5 Ribbon Life

The ATR122r ribbon (39-0127-002) will typically last 3 months with 50 employees punching 6 times per day (~18,000 punches). Actual ribbon life will vary based on the number of punches, humidity, temperature and exposure to air.

2.6 Operational Battery Pack

The ATR120 with Operational Battery Pack (01-0212-002) is available for customers that require backup power. The Battery Pack (58-0109-001) is a 9 cell NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) battery pack that charges when the ATR120 is plugged in. In the event of a power failure the clock will instantly switch to battery power without any interruption in service. The operational battery pack allows for full operation of the clock.

The battery pack is available as an add-on to standard clocks but must be factory installed or installed by a certified Acroprint dealer.

Battery Pack Specs: (new battery)

Voltage: DC 10.8v

Capacity: 1000mAh

Standby mode: ~40 Hr Reserve Power

Fully charged: The clock has been tested for over 3 Hrs and 6,000 continuous punches.

Note: Actual battery life depends on many factors such as battery age, temperature, discharge history, etc., and can vary greatly depending on these factors. The ATR120 should be plugged in for at least 12 hours to fully charge the battery pack.

Warning:

Batteries may leak, overheat, catch fire or explode if proper safety & handling procedures are not followed:

•

DO NOT get batteries wet

•

DO NOT place batteries near heat sources

•

DO NOT use any power supply other than the original one supplied with the time recorder.

•

DO NOT inverse polarity connection

•

NEVER throw batteries into fire. Properly dispose of batteries according to local rules and regulations.

•

DO NOT allow anything to short circuit the batteries

•

Dropping a battery may damage the battery.

Replace the battery if you suspect any damage.

12. Master Resets

Press + & Clear & Mode (Keys 1, 5, 6) all together to reset the clock settings back to their original (factory) defaults. This will not reset the Clock Password or any Alarm,

Column Shift Change or Color Change schedules. See Section 4 “Menu Trees - Quick Reference” to view the factory defaults for various settings.

Press – & Clear & Mode (Keys 2, 5, 6) all together to remove all Alarm, Column Shift Change or

Color Change schedules.

Note: the “Reset” button on the back of the clock will re-start the clock (the equivalent of unplugging the

clock and plugging it back in). This is useful if the clock program locks up. It will not change any of the clock settings back to factory defaults as long as the coin cell battery for memory backup is still good and switched on (the On/Off switch on the back of the clock).

14. Replacing Ribbon Cartridge

1. Open the top cover and press button [PM Out 2]. The print head

will move to Column 4 to make it easier to remove the ribbon cartridge.

Tip: if column shifts are programmed the print head could move after 3 sec. and could pinch your fingers. To avoid this move the print head to Col. 4 and slide the programming switch to

“Prgm”. This will prevent the print head from moving. When you are finished changing the ribbon slide the programming switch back to “Run”.

2. As shown in the figures below, pull the ribbon holders towards you to unlatch the ribbon cartridge. Use the handle on top of the ribbon cartridge to pull it up and out of the clock.

3. Blow any paper dust off the print head and from the inside of the clock using a can of compressed air.

This could help prevent ribbon or card jams. Carefully insert a new cartridge, positioning the ribbon

between the plastic ribbon guide and the stainless steel print shield. Push the cartridge down until it clicks into place. Turn the ribbon knob clockwise to remove any slack in the ribbon. Slide the program switch back to “Run”.

15. Cleaning the ATR120

Do not use cleaning products that contain alcohol or other strong chemicals as they could discolor or crack the terminal housing. Use a soft damp cloth to remove dirt. Wipe dry. Use compressed air to blow paper dust off the print head and the inside of the clock. This should be done with at least every ribbon change.

Cans of compressed air or “Dusters” can be found at any office supply or superstores.

16. Connecting External Signal Devices

The connections for an external signal device (bells, horns, buzzers, chimes, etc) are made via a 2-wire

Green terminal block on the back of the clock above the power jack. Connections are made by pressing the orange wire release tabs below each wire hole, fully inserting the wire and releasing the clip. Gently pull on the wires to make sure they are firmly secured in the terminal block.

A relay is required in order to use a bell or horn. Please call Acroprint or your Dealer to order the relay (PN

01-0230-000).

When a signal is activated by the clock the internal contacts of the relay close and complete the circuit.

These internal contacts are "dry" and supply no voltage. Voltage applied to these contacts must not exceed 30 volts. The relay then activates the 120v external signal device such as:

65-0103-000 "Grille Horn"

65-0104-000 "4-1/4" Bell"

65-0105-000 "8" Bell"

For more information about connecting an external signal device using a relay go to:
