Installing the Time Recorder

Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully unpack your recorder and inspect it for

any damage. Verify that the following accessories

are included: three mounting screws, a case lock

key, and the General Service Instructions. Report

damage or shortages to the company from which

the unit was purchased.

Site Requirements

The recorder should be mounted on a sturdy wall,

shelf, or other support area. Do not use the recorder

under the following conditions:
• extremely high or low temperature

[operating range: 0° to 50° C (32° to 122° F)]
• extremely high or low humidity

[operating range: 0 to 90% RH non-condensing]
• areas of high dust concentration
• areas with extreme vibration or when placed on

an unstable or unlevel surface

Mounting the Recorder and Card Racks

The recorder requires an uninterrupted AC power

supply, and should be mounted within 6 feet of a

power receptacle to accommodate the unit's power

cord. The suggested wall mounting layout for the

recorder and optional card racks is shown in Figure

4. Suggestions for mounting on specific wall and

shelf surfaces follow.

Wooden/Plywood Walls

You may use the three screws included with the

recorder to mount the recorder. Install a screw in

the wall 53" above the floor. Leave enough of the

screw protruding so the recorder will hang flat

against the wall through the "keyhole" on back of

the clock. Hang and level the recorder. Insert and

tighten screws through the lower left and right

mounting holes.

Masonry Walls

You may use plastic masonry anchors and screws

available at your local hardware store to mount the

recorder. Mark a location on the wall 53" above

the floor. Drill a hole with a 1/4" masonry bit and

insert a plastic anchor. Tighten a screw at this

location, leaving enough of the screw protruding

so the recorder will hang flat against the wall through

the "keyhole" on back of the clock. Hang and level

the recorder. Mark the location of the lower left and

right mounting holes. Remove the recorder, drill

holes, and insert anchors. Replace the recorder,

insert and tighten screws through the lower left

and right mounting holes, and fully tighten the

"keyhole" screw.

Sheetrock/Hollow Core Walls

You may use "molly" fasteners available at your

local hardware store to mount the recorder. Follow

the procedure for masonry walls, using the "molly"

fasteners instead. Alternatively, you may use longer

wood screws to attach the recorder to a stud behind

the sheetrock, using the "keyhole" and the lower

center mounting hole on the recorder.
