errol' alarm condition at the Input Station, the Clear button causes the
return of all documents and all keys that were depressed. The Clear button
is located directly below the Variable Data Keyboard on the input
requirements display panel.
The Supervisory Lock and Key are used for restricting Input Station
operation. Quite often there is a need to restrict the use of certain trans-
actions in a commonly used Input Station. For example, if transaction
number 9 were indirect labor assignment or adjustments, only authorized
personnel should have the capability of operating that transaction. This
can be accomplished through the use of the lock. A separate interlock
preventing its use in all cases except when a key is inserted and turned
is provided for with the 6312 Transmitter.
This standard feature restricts the use of any single, combination of,
or all Transaction Codes at the users' discretion.
It
is located between the
Clear and Transmit buttons on the input requirements display panel.
An Alarm display is located adjacent to the Clear button. Upon two
successive bad messages, this display is lighted indicating to the operator
that he must clear the Input Station.
An equipment On indicator is also located on the input requirements
display panel. When this indicator is lighted it indicates that power is on
at the Station. It is located to the left of the Clear button in the middle
of the input requirements display panel.
The approximate overall dimensions of the 6312 are: height, 22 inches;
width, 26 inches; depth, 20 inches with an approximate weight of 95

The basic 6311 Transmitter can read, encode, and transmit up to 28
alphanumeric characters in a single message. Transmission is at a rate of
120 characters per second. The unit is wall mountable. The 6311 is capable
of accommodating a punched plastic badge, or a Digital Readout Adapter,
and a Station Identification Unit. The general message format is:

Unlike the 6312, the 6311 is not equipped with a Transmit button.
Transmission is automatically initiated when the plastic badge is inserted
in the proper orientation. This unit has been designed primarily as a
time clocking device. Model 6311 standard features are a Clear push-
button which enables the operator to release his badge in the event that
the error has occurred during transmission.
