1. THE TIME BOX TERMINAL 1.1 Overview Blue LCD backlit screen with 2 lines of 12 characters USB key input - Accurate real time clock - Internal buzzer - 10,000 clocking memory Internal bell ringing relay Proximty Badge Reader Power supply RS232 serial communication Time Box is a Time and Attendance Management terminal that stores up to 10,000 clockings that it downloads onto a USB flash key or on the PC through an RS232 serial link. This terminal has a Proximity badge reader and an accurate internal clock. It is designed for wall mounted installation and is powered by an external mains supply. Its firmware can be updated with the USB key. In the standard version, the terminal is equipped with: - A USB flash key link - A RS232 serial link - A backlit LCD screen - A buzzer - A bell ringing control relay (dry contacts) - An accurate internal clock. 1.2 Initial check In its original packaging, each terminal is delivered with: - 1 RS232 serial communication cord (3 metres in length), - 1 USB key, - 1 mains power supply block with 9Vdc cord, - 1 software CD, - 1 instruction manual, - 25 proximity badges in ISO format. 1.3 Mechanical installation Any use that does not comply with these instructions can cause irreversible damage to the device and invalidates the warranty. Before installing and using the terminal, please read the safety instructions mentioned in the Safety information and protecting the device section of these instructions. 3
The terminal is designed for indoor installation only. The premises should have low temperature variations and far from any electromagnetic interference sources (contactors, motors, other proximity badge readers, etc.). The terminal can be secured to the wall using 2 screws inserted into the two slots on the rear panel (figure opposite). Attaching screw Ø4mm Screw lock An additional screw, on the side of the terminal is used to prevent it from being unfastened once installed (figure opposite) The terminal casing must not be opened if the bell ringing control relay is not used. In the case that the bell ringing control relay is used, carefully read the section on safety information and open the terminal by partially unscrewing the bottom screw and by raising the front panel upwards. Continue with the electrical installation ( electrical installation section). Bottom screw 4

3. SAFETY INFORMATION AND PROTECTING THE DEVICE The Terminal must not be connected to the power supply until it is securely fitted. Before any installation, read these instructions carefully and refer to the Technical characteristics section. For operating the internal bell ringing control relay, the installation and maintenance of this equipment must be done by qualified personnel. In this regard, the installation must comply with CEI364 standards in force (NFC15-100 for France). An external protective device against over-currents must be installed in the relay contact circuit and be quickly accessible. The protective device must limit the current to 2A max in case of a fault. Fasten the cables relating to the relay with one another, close to the terminal block and attach the cable to the back of the casing. When opening the casing, switch off the circuit breaker/disconnection switch to protect against possible dangerous voltages switched by the relay. Apart from the relay connection, all devices or circuits connected to the terminal MUST be of SELV type (safety extra low voltage). For reasons relating to the safety of individuals and for immunity against the effects of lightning, the RS232 link cable must not connect two buildings that have protective ground connections independent of each other (cables of the terminal must not be used to connect these two potentials). This cable must not leave a building. If such a case arises, it is necessary to use appropriate interfaces (opto-isolated modules or modems, for example). The time and date are stored by the internal Lithium battery for a period equal to or greater than 10 years. Under these conditions, the user of the terminal is not required to replace this CR2032 type battery. This symbol means that you must consult these instructions 18
4. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS The terminal is designed to be used inside buildings (domestic environment and light industry). The Reader Interface is a class A product. This product may cause radio interference in a domestic environment. Users must take the necessary measures in this case.
