Preparations All settings have to be executed with the recorder opened. Under the front cover you will find further symbols and another display, see chapter 4 "Programming Panel". Follow the instructions in this chapter and keep in the order the topics are presented. Switch on Recorder The recorder is provided with a separate power switch.
Page 32
Proceeding Remove front cover If the recorder is not yet opened, remove the front cover as described in section "Open the recorder". Switch power switch to position "1". → Analogue clock is synchronised. Current time is displayed until clock synchronisation has finished.
Card Funnel The pointer field in front of the card funnel is designed for changeable funnel shields. The funnel shield can be inserted and can be compared with a table: it shows all column headlines. The column headlines correspond with the clocking columns on the time card.
Insert the Funnel Shield The funnel shield can be placed at any time (before or after commissioning ). We recommend, if the recorder is not pre-programmed, to adjust and fix the funnel shield after all the programming and test work, e.g. with an adhesive point. Remove front cover.
Card Funnel Adjustment This recorder can be adjusted infinitely variable to all different card widths and thicknesses. If your recorder has been programmed ex factory, these measures have already been taken. A subsequent adjustment of the card funnel may be necessary due to manufacture tolerances of time cards resp.

Time Card Parameters The symbol is indicated by the column pointer. This menu contains the following submenus: Selection of a pre-programmed card format (see separate time card • catalogue) Select type of recorder • Definition of period duration • Current week •...
Page 58
If a new card format is used which slightly deviates from a standard card format shown in the separate card catalogue, for example a card format with different column width, you need not to program the complete card format. You can copy a stored card format with the command "Copy" and then alter all the values which are different to the stored one.
Type of Recorder Hint You can only set values in this submenu if you want to define a new card format. See Appendix A "Define your own card format". Two different types are available: Standard recorder • Graphic recorder • Standard recorder The imprint on the time card will be executed in lines according to the...
With a graphic recorder with "creeping imprint" you can choose between an ascending and descending imprint. → IN-clocking is printed on bottom of the card, Ascending imprint: all further clockings are printed ascending. → IN-clocking is printed on top of the card, all Descending imprint: further clockings are printed descending.
Number of Columns Hint If a standard card format has been selected, the values shown in this submenu are pre-set and cannot be altered. The number of columns can differ form time card to time card. At the same time the number of columns is pre-set (according to type of recorder and period duration) or can be selected out of a fixed range.
Page 63
Start of Pay Period This menu function allows to alter the start of the period. For some purposes there is no need that the printing field of time cards will start with the first of the month. By indicating the date of day in this menu function the start of pay-period, therefore, can be set to any day of the month.
Print Format The symbol is indicated by the column pointer. It allows the user to define the print format of the time recorder. It can be defined whether the weekday or date are printed at every clocking, or whether the minutes are printed in decimal hours (5/100). 48 print formats are stored in the unit.

Column Change The symbol is indicated by the column pointer. Each time card is separated in lines and columns. The column width must be programmed so that the printer head is positioned according to the card separation. The values programmed in the menu item "Card specific parameters - number of columns"...
Card Lift The symbol is indicated by the column pointer. This menu is identical with the menu "Column change". As many line values are displayed as programmed in the menu item "Card specific parameters - Number of lines". Hint The line height can only be entered if you have selected the values "00"...
Column Change Timing The symbol is indicated by the column pointer. After number and dimensions of the columns and lines have been defined or selected with a standard card format , the time has to be entered from which on the clocking shall be printed in the corresponding column or line.
Page 74
Select hour with "R". Definition: D1 = column, 01 = 1. clocking column The number of columns depends on the card format selected/defined. D2 = hours Value range: 00 - 23; -- If "--" is selected, all time values for this day will be erased.
4. Enter new time with "R". 5. Quit setting by pressing "S" and select next weekday or continue as described under step 9. Quit menu "Column change timing" with "S" and switch to next menu item "Card lift timing". When time values are entered for the first time respectively after a reset, all values have to be entered for each weekday before the menu can be left.
Graphic Recorder As a graphical card is not separated in IN- and OUT-clocking columns, but the days of a period are arranged horizontally, only one column change per day has to be executed. Only one column change timing per weekday has to be defined. If a time value differing from 00: .h is programmed, e.g.
If another time value than 00: h, e.g. 1: h, is programmed the clocking is printed in the line of the previous day. So shifts, overlapping the day-end can be printed in the same line. The programming is identical with the proceeding "Column change timing - standard recorder with one card lift per day".
The following example shows the programmed time values of the first weekday. The entered values are valid for all following weekdays. Name Page Month: Target Hours: Remarks: Head of the card Line 31 Punching OUT late 18:01 Line 30 16:30 Flexible time OUT Line 29 16:00...
With descending imprint: → Time value for the start position of the card lift in the upper imprint field. → Time value for the end position of the card lift in the lower imprint field. The position for any clocking between the two values is defined by the recorder automatically (with creeping imprint).
Page 80
Hint Two identical time values for one weekday (e.g. 17:00h for black and red imprint) cannot be programmed, that means that "E" or "S" can not be pressed to switch to the next item . If no ribbon colour change is programmed, all clockings will be printed in black as this colour is pre-programmed for the printer ex factory.
Example: 01 06.30 h 02 08.01 h 01 11:30 h 02 14:01 h 01 16.00 h . . . and so on. If you want to erase the value 02 08 01h, the next value displayed is: 01 11 30h. Now the submenu can be left as described or further values can be entered or erased.
Page 82
Signal Times The symbol is indicated by the column pointer. External signal devices, e.g. a horn for the organisation of breaks or the plant illumination can be switched on and off at defined times by the programming of signal circuit. Contrary to the check of individuals the signal circuit works person-independent, that means the release of the signal completely takes place according to defined time intervals.
Page 83
Example: 04 09:00 Hr 08 09:15 Hr 04 12:00 Hr 08 13:30 Hr . . . and so on. If the value "08 09 15" is erased, the next value "04 12 00" will be displayed. Now the menu can be left as described above or new time values can be entered. See proceeding on the previous pages.
Change or Erase Signal Out-Programming The date values programmed can be changed or erased at any time. Details to the following proceeding can be find in the previous proceeding. Proceeding Call up programming routine (key "R"). Select menu "Signal out-programming" (key "S"). →...
Page 85
Hint Never set time of the analogue clock or the internal quartz clock manually. Observe always the instructions described in chapter "Set date and time". After the recorder has been adjusted to the new parameters and the analogue clock has been synchronised, the current date is displayed. Make a sample clocking with one of your time card and compare the time printed on the time card with the time of the analogue clock.

Page 92
The slave clocks will be synchronised after the menu "Set Date/Time" has been selected. Make sure that bipolar slave clocks switch with the same polarity. The polarity of the slave clocks can be found out by sending single impulses from the recorder.
Enter time of slave clocks at the recorder with "R". D2 = hours D3 = minutes Confirm hours with "E". Enter minutes with "R". Confirm minutes with "E". If the entry has been confirmed with "E", all slave clocks will be synchronised automatically to the current time of the master clock.
Programming via PC To program the recorder via PC, the program "P2020" and the connection cable between recorder and PC are required. Supply: -3,5 " diskette - connection cable Programming the recorder via PC is the most elegant and easiest way to adjust the recorder to any customer setting.
Installation of the Program "P2020" Make a duplicate of the program diskette. If your PC is provided with a harddisk, we recommend to copy the complete program "P2020" together with the help file from diskette on harddisk. Create a subdirectory, e.g.
Programming The screen is divided into 3 sections: headline, working area and bottom line. In the headline, the current file name is displayed. If no file has been loaded, the name "NONAME.PAR" is displayed. The bottom line shows all commands for programming according to the menu.
Punching at the Recorder Time Card Handling With all models of time recorder, the card side on which the clock punch is to be printed must be facing towards the user. Insert the time card into the card funnel until the card comes to a stop. Wait for the time recorder to finish printing.
Standard Recorder IN- and OUT-clockings will be printed in separated columns. The clocking columns can be selected manually with the position key or automatically by the recorder according to the parameter setting. The column change for e.g. overtime, interruptions cannot be programmed and must be selected with the position key. Clocking with Manual Column Selection The clocking columns IN/OUT can be selected with the position key.
Clocking with Automatic Column Selection If times for the column changes have been programmed, it is not necessary to select the clocking column with the position key. But the position key is still active. If, for example, the clocking shall be printed in a column different from the column marked by the column pointer, this column can be selected with the position key.
Clocking with Mixed Column Selection The recorder is often programmed with mixed column selection. The first columns for the IN- and OUT-clockings in the morning and in the afternoon are defined as automatic columns, the other columns are defined as manual columns. In these manual columns extra times, e.g.
Graphic Recorder There is no distinction between automatic and manual column selection if a graphic recorder is used. The column change is controlled by a time-program and is, in general, executed once a day. There is no special separation between IN- and OUT-clockings and extra time if graphical cards are used.
Insert card into card funnel. Push card slightly down until clocking is released. Remove card from recorder. Standby Operation In order to maintain the normal operation during power failure the time recorder must be provided with a standby battery pack for the printer head. With this option, the time recorder will print up to 300 registrations over a power outage period of 24 hours.
Save Values All parameter values programmed in the recorder can be saved on external data mediums. Save values via PC All values programmed in the recorder can be saved on harddisk/diskette with the function "Upload" in the Main Menu of the program "P2020". To save the parameter values of the recorder, the connection cable between unit and PC has to be installed.

Adjustment Routine The position of the clocking on the time card is defined when programming the card lift and column change. But it may happen that the clocking is not printed exactly in the right position due to manufacturing tolerance and especially card tolerances. With this routine the position of the clocking on the time card can be adjusted in vertical and horizontal direction.
Shift clocking downwards with "E" (-). The distance between bottom line and clocking is decreased. Step width: 0,1 mm. Example: Adjustment value 58 = clocking is shifted 0,8 mm upwards. Insert time card and execute a sample clocking. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until clocking is printed in correct position.
