Legend
1 LCD display—Displays feedback, prompts, and error messages
2 Function keys—Used to initiate functions and commands, depending on how the
terminal is configured
3 Good read LED—Indicates that the terminal successfully read the badge you swiped
4 Bad read LED—Indicates that the terminal did not successfully read the badge you
swiped
5 Power status LED—Indicates that the terminal is powered
6 Numeric keypad—Used to enter data while performing functions and commands
7 Badge swipe reader—Used to read badges you swipe
How the terminal is configured and the mode in which it is operating determine
the features and functions available for use by employees and supervisors. For
example, when the terminal operates in supervisor mode, a supervisor can use a
supervisor badge to enter supervisor mode and add a punch for an employee who
forgot to punch.
Note
The difference between supervisor functions and supervisor commands is that
functions allow you to view and edit employee data, while commands allow you
to perform administrative tasks such as creating and editing gate schedules,
printing reports, and overriding punch restrictions. For more information on
supervisor commands, see Chapter 3, “Performing Supervisor Mode Commands.”
In supervisor mode, you initiate functions using the terminal’s function keys.
Which functions are initiated by which function keys depends on how your
terminal has been configured. For instructions on how to program your terminal’s
function keys, see the Series 400 Terminal Configuration Guide.
The following is a list of the supervisor functions you can perform using the
Series 400 Timekeeper terminal:
M Cancel Meal Deduction
M Pay Code Transaction
M Delayed Department or Labor Account Transfer
M Department or Labor Account Transfer
M Display Current Schedule
M Display Elapsed Time Since Last Punch
M Display Last Punch
1. If the PIN feature is not enabled, press the asterisk key once. If the PIN
feature is enabled, press the asterisk key two times. The ENTER COMMAND
NUMBER prompt appears on the display.
2. Press ENTER. The terminal reverts to employee (normal) mode.
Note
If you do not perform the procedure for exiting supervisor mode, the terminal
returns to employee mode if no keystrokes are performed for a specific interval of
time. You can set this time-out interval using Procedure 40, Step 1, of the
Timekeeper terminal program. If you do not set a time-out interval, the terminal
automatically times out after 45 seconds.
For instructions on setting this time-out interval, see the Series 400 Terminal
Configuration Guide.
Note
If a terminal is configured to allow functions with a loop feature to be used in
both employee and supervisor mode, looping is disabled. For instructions on
setting up functions to work in both employee and supervisor modes, see the
Series 400 Terminal Configuration Guide.
M The prompts used in this guide may differ from those used at your site.
Because prompts are configurable, your terminal might be configured to
display different prompts.
M Some functions allow receipt printing, but only if the Series 400 Terminal is
connected to a serial printer and receipt printing is enabled. The information
printed on the receipt is the same as that displayed on the screen. Supervisor
functions that allow receipt printing are noted in this chapter.
M If your terminal is configured to use 12-hour time, you must enter all times
using the AM and PM keys.
Performing Functions
This section presents instructions for performing functions at the Timekeeper
terminal while it is in supervisor mode. Functions are presented in alphabetical
order.
Description
Procedure
Description
At many sites, the terminal is configured to collect information that affects hours
against pay codes stored on the host. For some host software, employees or
supervisors can record hours associated with a pay code. Many sites use pay codes
to record nonproductive time, such as vacation and sick time.
Procedure
Description
This function allows you to specify the day and the time of the department or
labor account transfer. The terminal is capable of having separate function keys
configured to represent different departments or labor accounts. Alternatively, the
configuration can require that the employee enter labor account numbers or
department numbers.
Procedure
Description
This function allows you to use a single key to perform a department or labor
account transfer for an employee. You can have your terminal configured in either
of the following ways:
M Assign different departments or labor accounts to separate function keys.
M Require supervisors to enter a labor account number or department number.
Procedure
Note
If this function key is set up to represent a specific department or labor
account, the terminal automatically associates this transfer with that
department or account. Go to step 3.
3. If prompted for a comment code, perform this step. Otherwise, go to the next
step.
Enter the three-digit comment code you want to associate with the transfer.
For example, you might enter 123 to associate the transfer with the 123
comment code.
The terminal displays the text for the comment code, for example, TRAINING
1 2 3, and then prompts ENTER BADGE.
4. Swipe the employee badge or press * and type the PIN.
The terminal responds with IN-DEPT followed by the employee’s PIN or
name.
5. If looping is in effect, repeat step 4 until you have completed all of the
necessary department or labor account transfers.
If looping is not in effect, go to the next step.
6. Press CLEAR to exit the function.
Description
This function allows you to display the schedule for a shift that an employee is
currently working. For an employee’s schedule to display on a particular terminal,
the employee must be a home employee of the terminal and have a valid in-punch.
Procedure
1. Press the function key configured for the Display Current Schedule function.
After temporarily displaying the name of the function, the terminal prompts
ENTER BADGE.
2. Swipe the employee’s badge or press * and type the PIN.
The terminal displays the employee’s current start day, start time, and end
time, for example, WE 9:00A - 5:00P.
3. If looping is in effect, repeat step 2 until you have completed the function for
all the employees for whom you want to display current schedules.
If looping is not in effect, go to the next step.
4. Press CLEAR to exit the function.
Description
This function allows you to display how much time has elapsed since an employee
last punched at the terminal. Note that this function is terminal specific. It does not
display the employee’s last punch if it was done at another terminal. If your
terminal has receipt printing, you can use it with this function.
Procedure
Description
This function allows you to display an employee's most recent punch at that
particular terminal. Note that this function is terminal specific. If an employee did
a more recent punch at another terminal, it will not display at the current terminal.
If your terminal has receipt printing, you can use it with this function.
Additionally, this function loops in supervisor mode when the function is
available only in supervisor mode.
Procedure
Description
This function allows you to display an employee's future schedule. The display
shows the employee’s start and end times.
The number of future schedules that you can display is dependent on the number
of schedules your terminal is configured to store in memory. The maximum is 14.
The schedules that you can display are only as current as the most recent
download from the host PC. However, the Display Next Schedule function can
display schedules regardless of the employee’s punch status. Unlike the Display
Current Schedule function, the employee does not need to be currently punched in
at the terminal.
If your terminal has receipt printing, you can use it with this function.
Additionally, this function loops in supervisor mode when the function is only
available in supervisor mode.
Procedure
Description
This function allows you to display the most recent punch that an employee made
at the terminal. The Display Punch Status function is terminal specific. Punches
that the employee made at another terminal are not displayed with this function.
If your terminal has receipt printing, you can use it with this function.
Additionally, this function loops in supervisor mode when the function is only
available in supervisor mode.
Procedure
Display Totals
Description
This function allows you to display up to seven employee hourly totals, up to and
including a given date. The host application must send this information to the
terminal because the terminal is unable to do totals on its own. As a result, the
totals reported are only as current as the most recent totals sent from the host
application. The maximum number of hours that you can display is 9,999:59.
If your terminal has receipt printing, you can use it with this function.
Additionally, this function loops in supervisor mode when the function is only
available in supervisor mode.
Procedure
Description
This function allows you to enter decimal transaction information in different pay
codes for employees.
If your terminal has receipt printing, you can use it with this function.
Additionally, this function loops in supervisor mode when the function is
available only in supervisor mode.
Procedure
3. If prompted for a pay code, perform this step. Otherwise, go to the next step.
Enter a pay code. Your terminal may skip this step if the pay code is the
default for all employee credit transaction functions.
4. If prompted for a comment code, perform this step. Otherwise, go to the next
step.
Enter the three-digit comment code you want to associate with the transfer.
For example, you might enter 123 to associate the transfer with the 123
comment code.
The terminal displays the text for the comment code, for example, TRAINING
1 2 3, and then prompts ENTER AMOUNTS $_._.
5. Type a decimal amount, for example 545 to represent $5.45.
You can configure the terminal to use the minus (-) key for negative entries.
The terminal responds with the prompt ENTER BADGE.
6. Swipe the employee badge or press * and type the PIN.
The terminal responds by indicating that the credit transaction is recorded and
by displaying the employee’s badge number or PIN.
7. If looping is in effect, repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have completed all of the
necessary decimal credit entries for the pay code.
If looping is not in effect, go to the next step.
8. Press CLEAR to exit the function.
Description
This function allows you to enter decimal transaction information in different pay
codes, for employees.
If your terminal has receipt printing, you can use it with this function.
Additionally, this function loops in supervisor mode when the function is only
available in supervisor mode.
Procedure
4. If prompted for a comment code, perform this step. Otherwise, go to the next
step.
Enter the three-digit comment code you want to associate with the transfer.
For example, you might enter 123 to associate the transfer with the 123
comment code.
The terminal displays the text for the comment code, for example, TRAINING
1 2 3, and then prompts ENTER AMOUNTS $_._.
5. Type a decimal amount, for example 545 to represent $5.45.
Note that since this transaction automatically enters a debit, you do not have
to enter a minus sign.
The terminal responds with the prompt ENTER BADGE.
6. Swipe the employee badge or press * and type the PIN.
The terminal responds by indicating that the debit transaction is recorded and
by displaying the employee’s badge number or PIN.
7. If looping is in effect, repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have completed all of the
necessary decimal debit entries for the pay code.
If looping is not in effect, go to the next step.
8. Press CLEAR to exit the function.
Note
To undo a prior debit transaction, perform this function a second time, placing a
minus sign (-) before the amount that was deducted. This action cancels the
previous debit transaction.
End Activity
Description
This function allows you to end an activity within a shift that was started by a
Start Activity punch. For example, some companies use this transaction to end a
department transfer that was started by a Start Activity punch.
Procedure
3. If prompted for a comment code, perform this step. Otherwise, go to the next
step.
Enter the three-digit comment code you want to associate with the transfer.
For example, you might enter 123 to associate the transfer with the 123
comment code.
The terminal displays the text for the comment code, for example, TRAINING
1 2 3, and then prompts ENTER BADGE.
Enter Tips
Description
This function allows you to enter tips and a gross receipt amount (if so
configured), for an employee.
Procedure
Description
This function allows you to perform a gate entry-only punch. Gate entry-only
punches allow employees on the Gate List to open a door without affecting their
in/out status.
Procedure
4. If looping is in effect, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have completed all of the
necessary gate entry-only punches.
5. Press CLEAR to exit the function.
Generic Punch
Description
This function allows you to create a generic record in the terminal’s memory. The
host software can then interpret this data if the application is configured to support
this type of entry.
Procedure
3. Swipe the employee badge or press * and type the PIN when prompted
ENTER BADGE.
Quantity Transaction
Description
This function allows you to enter a numeric value and associate it with an
employee. For example, a company with workers who produce piece work may
want to use this feature to record the number of pieces completed by each
employee at the end of the day.
Procedure
Simple Punch
Description
Performing this function allows employees to punch in or out while the terminal is
in supervisor mode.
If your terminal has receipt printing, you can use it with this function.
Procedure
Description
This function allows you to review an employee's punch records that are in the
terminal’s memory. You can step forward through the punch history using the plus
(+) or NEXT key, starting with the oldest punch record and proceeding to the most
recent punch.
You can also step back through the punch history by pressing the minus (-) or
PREV key. There is a step back limit of nine punches (a “window” of 10 punches).
If you have stepped forward more than nine punches and want to review a punch
more than nine punches in the past, press CLEAR and swipe the badge (or enter
the PIN).
For example, assume you are reviewing 15 punches. After reviewing the oldest to
the newest punch, you are on the 14th punch from the end. You decide to review
the punches, that is, go from 14 backward to the oldest punch. You can press the -
or PREV key and review the 13th punch from the end to the 4th punch from the
end. To review punches 2 through 1 from the end, you must press CLEAR and
reinsert the employee’s badge or PIN.
While you review punches, you may, in some cases, notice a second line on the
display. This line can include additional information, such as the amount of a tip
entry. Press the # key to toggle the display of the second line of information on
and off.
If your terminal has receipt printing, you can use it with this function.
Additionally, Review Punches loops in supervisor mode when the function is
available only in supervisor mode.
Procedure
Note
You can review only the last 72 hours.
Some of the punches have additional lines, as shown in the following table:
7. Continue to review the employee’s punches using the + or NEXT keys (and -
or PREV keys as needed) until you have reviewed all the punches in the time
interval that you specified in step 2.
8. If looping is in effect, repeat steps 3 through 5 until you have completed all of
the necessary punch reviews for employees.
If looping is not in effect, go to the next step.
9. Press CLEAR to exit the function.
Start Activity
Description
This function allows you to designate a shift as a special activity shift for which an
employee is paid differently than the normal rate. Therefore, hours worked on an
activity Shift must be made to accrue in a special pay code so that the employee is
paid correctly for the shift. For example, if employees work the late night shift,
they may be paid at a different rate than when they work the day shift.
Procedure
4. If prompted for a comment code, perform this step. Otherwise, go to the next
step.
Enter the three-digit comment code you want to associate with the transfer.
For example, you might enter 123 to associate the transfer with the 123
comment code.
The terminal displays the text for the comment code, for example, TRAINING
1 2 3, and then prompts ENTER BADGE.
5. Swipe the employee badge or press * and type the PIN.
The terminal responds by displaying ACT followed by the employee’s PIN or
name.
6. If looping is in effect, repeat steps 2 through 5 until you have completed all of
the necessary start activities.
If looping is not in effect, go to the next step.
7. Press CLEAR to exit the function.

4. If looping is in effect, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have completed all of the
necessary start activities.
If looping is not in effect, go to the next step.
5. Press CLEAR to exit the function.
Note
The difference between supervisor functions and supervisor commands is that
functions allow you to view and edit employee data, while commands allow you
to perform purely administrative tasks. For more information on supervisor
functions, see Chapter 2, “Performing Supervisor Mode Functions.”
The following is a list of the supervisor commands you can perform using the
Series 400 Timekeeper Terminal.
M 2 - Single Home Employee Restriction Override

Executing Commands
This section presents instructions for performing supervisor commands at the
Timekeeper terminal while it is in supervisor mode. You initiate all supervisor
mode commands by pressing the * key and then entering the number of the
command. Your terminal may be set up to associate function keys with specific
commands.
Note
There is also a supervisor mode command 0, which is used for exiting supervisor
mode.
Description
Procedure
Description
Command 3 enables you to override the punch restrictions for all home employees
at a particular terminal. When you execute the command, all home employee
restrictions in the terminal are overridden until you use the same command to
remove the restriction credit or until the length of the override expires. The length
option can be specified only for restriction overrides (credit = 1). Maximum
length = 100 hours (unless indefinite).
You might use this command if you have to have all home employees work on a
restricted shift, such as having them all work on Saturdays.
You and the employees can determine from the punch when global overrides are
enabled as follows:
M A plus sign (+) is displayed between the date and the time on all terminal
displays when global home employee override restrictions are enabled, for
example,
MO 10-JAN-00 + 12:25P.
M An asterisk (*) is displayed when both home and non-home global restriction
overrides are in effect, that is, Command 3 and 4. (See “Command 4: Global
Non-Home Employee Restriction Override” for more information.) The
following example shows the restriction override for both home and
non-home employees:
MO 10-JAN-00 * 12:25P.
Use of Commands 3 and 4 together is sometimes referred to as putting the
terminal in “snowstorm mode,” because it is often done before or during a
snowstorm to allow all employees to punch out for an early release.
Procedure
Description
Some Series 400 Terminals are configured to restrict badges whose numbers have
not been sent from the host. Command 4 enables you to lift this restriction on all
non-home (cross-punching) employees.
You can make the override period indefinite, that is, until a supervisor removes the
override, or limit it for a specified amount of time. The maximum length of the
specified override period is 100 hours (unless specified as indefinite). This
command is helpful in the event that one terminal fails and employees must punch
in at another terminal until their home terminal is repaired.
You and the employees can determine from the punch when global overrides for
non-home employees are enabled as follows:
M An “x” displays between the date and the time when a non-home employee
global override is in effect, for example:
MO 10-JAN-00 x 12:25P
M An asterisk (*) displays when both home and non-home global restriction
overrides are in effect, that is, Commands 3 and 4. (See Command 3 for more
information.) The following is an example display of a home and non-home
global restriction override:
MO 10-JAN-00 * 12:25P
Use of Commands 3 and 4 together is sometimes referred to as putting the
terminal in “snowstorm” mode, because it is often done before or during a
snowstorm to allow all employees to punch out for an early release.
Procedure
Description
Procedure
Note
The terminal displays 09 HOME EMPLOYEE if a home employee badge or
PIN is entered.
3. Repeat step 2 until you have completed all the necessary non-home employee
restriction overrides.
4. Press CLEAR to exit the command.
Description
Command 6 allows you to ring immediately the bell system attached to the
terminal. The bells continue ringing for the number of seconds specified in the
command.
Procedure
Description
Command 7 enables you to silence the bells system attached to the terminal. Note
that the terminal must be configured to manage a bell rather than a gate.
Procedure
To execute the silence bell command, in supervisor mode, enter 7 at the ENTER
COMMAND NUMBER prompt and press ENTER. The bells immediately stop
ringing.
Note
If you execute this command at a terminal that is not configured for bells, the
terminal displays 62 NOT INSTALLED.
Description
Showing the status of a punch is called punch typing. If the terminal’s punch
typing is turned on (set to 1), an IN, OUT displays when an employee punches. If
the punch typing is turned off (set to 0), the punch status does not display.
Command 8 allows you to enable or disable the display of an employee's punch
status (IN, OUT).
An option for this command allows you to specify how long the display of punch
types is disabled. Press the # key to set the LENGTH option as described in the
following procedure. The length option disables the display of punch types for a
specified period of time. The maximum length is 100 hours.
Note
The IN/OUT punch status does not apply to Security Access Features.
Procedure
Description
Command 10 tests the operation of the terminal’s integral swipe badge reader or
optional remote swipe badge reader by reading a badge and displaying its
contents. The information that displays includes:
M Type of badge (Kronos standard badge or generic badge)
M Reader used to read the badge
M Number of characters encoded on the badge
M Barcode symbology used by the badge
M Badge contents (numeric or alphanumeric)
When you swipe a standard Kronos badge, or press * and type the employee’s
PIN, a nine-digit employee ID appears. If necessary, leading zeroes precede the
badge number. When you swipe a generic badge, all data encoded on the badge is
displayed, using both lines of the display if necessary. A generic badge can
contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
If an “S” Supervisor or “G” Guard badge is read, only the last two digits of the
badge number display for security reasons. Reading a Maintenance Badge causes
the command execution to terminate.
The following is an example of information that appears when you execute this
command:
K 1 18 I 2OF5
123456789
The following explains how to interpret this information:
M “K” indicates a standard Kronos badge.
M “1” indicates that the badge was read by the first remote reader.
M “18” is the number of characters encoded on the badge.
M “I 2OF5” indicates the barcode symbology.
M “123456789” are the contents of the badge.
Note
If the contents of the badge are too long to fit on one line with the rest of the data,
they are displayed alone below the other badge information. The length of time
information is displayed is managed by the setting for Procedure 1, Step 3 of the
terminal program.
Procedure
Description
Command 21 enables you, the supervisor, to edit the terminal’s off-times of both
home and non-home employees. A terminal’s off-time is a period of the day when
all employees are restricted from punching. If off-times are configured, they apply
every day of the week (Sunday through Saturday). During off-times, the terminal
shows the time but not the date on the top line of its display, and it shows the
message OFF-TIME on the second line of its display.
Procedure
3. If you are creating or changing the off-time, type the duration of the off-time
in the format hh:mm, for example 120 for an hour and 20 minutes.
If you are satisfied with the duration of the off-time, press ENTER.
If you are deleting off-times entirely, type 000 and press ENTER.
You are prompted OFF TIME for the terminal’s second off-time.
4. To add, edit, or remove the second off-time, repeat this procedure beginning
with step 2.
Description
Command 27 allows you to create or edit a schedule for when the modem
connecting the terminal to the Polling PC is on and off.
This command is useful, for example, if you want to keep a phone line open
during the day and want to transmit data only at night to and from the Polling PC.
You can store up to seven different on-time and off-time schedules with this
command. You can also delete or edit an existing off-time using Command 27.
Specifically, you delete an existing off-time by making the on-time match the off-
time.
Note
When using Command 27 in supervisor mode, you must enter all times using the
AM and PM keys if your terminal is configured to use 12-hour time.
Any schedules set up with Command 27 can be erased entirely using Command
28 (see Command 28).
Procedure
4. Enter the figure to represent the days of the week that the schedule is not in
effect.
You determine this figure by adding the relevant values from the following
tables and then type the sum.
Value Meaning
2 Cancel on Sunday
4 Cancel on Monday
8 Cancel on Tuesday
16 Cancel on Wednesday
32 Cancel on Thursday
64 Cancel on Friday
128 Cancel on Saturday
Description
Command 28 erases all modem off-times you have previously set up with
Command 27. You may want to use this command as a quick way of deleting all
modem schedules before you reset them with Command 27.
If the terminal is in off-time when executing Command 28, the modem reactivates
immediately.
Procedure
To erase all modem off schedules, enter 28 at the ENTER COMMAND NUMBER
prompt, and press ENTER. The terminal prompts ARE YOU SURE?
Description
Use Command 29 if you want to check the times that the terminal switches off its
availability to the modem and the times it switches it on again.
Procedure
Description
Use Command 35 to print the Home Employee Report on the serial printer
connected to the terminal. This report shows, in 40-column format, a list of all
home employees at the terminal and their respective employee IDs.The following
is a sample printout:
Procedure
Description
The host application software has several reports that it can download to a serial
printer attached to the terminal. Command 37 allows you to select a report and
print it on the serial printer connected to the terminal. The following are some
reports that your application may support:
M Gate Open Schedules
M Modem Off Schedules
M Restriction Programs
M Generic Schedules
M Logical Gate List
M Physical Gate List
M Department/labor Accounts
M Lists for labor fields 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
M Message Assignments
M Message Dictionary
M Comment Codes
M Employee Transactions
Procedure:
3. Press ENTER when you locate the report you want to print.
The printer begins to print the report. While it does so, the terminal displays
PRINTING IN PROGRESS. You can abort the printing by pressing CLEAR.
4. When the printing is complete, you can repeat step 2 and choose to print
another report. Continue printing until you have printed all the reports you
want.
5. Press CLEAR to exit the command.
Description
Command 39 prints the On-Premises Report on the serial printer connected to the
terminal. The On-Premises Report lists all home employees who have punched in
at the terminal (that is, who are on the premises) and their respective employee
IDs.The report uses a 40-column format.
Procedure
Description
Command 40 prints the data currently stored in the terminal's memory for a given
home employee. When you execute this command, the amount of data that you
can print depends on how the terminal program is configured. The terminal must
be connected to a serial printer.
Procedure
Description
Each time external power is restored to the terminal after it has been operating on
lithium battery backup, the terminal checks the amount of time the terminal has
been operating on lithium battery backup and the amount of RAM installed. The
terminal displays the message LOW LITHIUM BATTERY if the battery is within 14
days of its limit.
Note
When the terminal is cold-started (that is, both its DC wall supply and lithium
battery are removed, then reinstalled), it prompts for entry of the lithium battery's
life. Thus, prior to cold-starting the terminal, you must always determine the
lithium battery's life by executing this command and recording the displayed
value.
Procedure

<CLEAR >TO CONTINUE
Press CLEAR to exit the command.
Description
Command 43 prints the Off-Premises Report on the serial printer connected to the
terminal. The Off-Premises Report lists the employees who have punched out at
the terminal, that is, the home employees who are no longer on the premises. This
list shows both the names and the employee IDs.
Procedure
Description
Command 50 is generally used to add punches in the past. You can, however, add
punches for the next day, although changing the effective date of the edit must
conform to the expectations of the host software. If you do add punches for the
next day, be aware that employees receive the error message 04 REPUNCH
RESTRICT when attempting to punch. This error occurs until the terminal’s
internal clock indicates that it has passed the date and time of the added punch.
Command 50 affects the employee's in/out status. If, for example, some
employees forget to punch in, they are then restricted from punching out unless
you add their in-punches using Command 50. After you enter their in-punches,
they can do a normal out-punch.
Procedure
Description
Use Command 51 to delete an employee’s punch. You can use this command to
delete an in or out punch when the employee made the punch with the wrong
badge. However, before you use Command 51, you must ensure that your terminal
is configured to support it.
Unlike Command 50, the employee's in/out status at the terminal is unaffected by
Command 51. Some host software reflects the deleted punch only after collecting
the punch data from the terminal.
Procedure
4. If prompted for an activity code, perform this step. Otherwise, go to the next
step.
Enter a two-digit activity code. The terminal displays the text associated with
the activity. For example, if you entered 10 for night shift, the terminal might

Use Command 58 to print information regarding bell schedule times. The bells are
enabled when the Series 400 Terminal is configured. The report indicates the time
of day the bell rings, how long the bell rings, the days of the week that it rings, and
whether or not a warning bell is rung prior to the actual bell.
The Bell Time Schedule Report uses a 40-column format. The following is a
sample printout:
Procedure
After you enter the command number 58, the Bell Report begins to print. As it
does so, the terminal displays PRINTING IN PROGRESS. Should you want to
abort the printing, press CLEAR.
Note
The terminal displays 62 NOT INSTALLED if the terminal is not configured
with a bell. You are then immediately exited from the command.
Description
Procedure
Description
Caution
Adjusting time in the negative direction often causes problems—especially if the
time is adjusted across midnight (00:00). Be aware that you can also adjust the
terminal’s time from the host.
Procedure
Description
If your terminal is configured to manage a bell, this command allows you to add,
change, or delete the times at which the bell rings and to specify the duration of
the ring. You can schedule up to 48 times for the bells to ring and 96 if warning
bells are included.
Procedure
For example, if you are adding a warning bell that is to ring every day except
Saturday and Sunday, you would type 131, the sum of the “Cancel on
Sunday” and “Cancel on Saturday” options. If you are deleting a bell that
rings every day except Saturday and Sunday, you would type 124, the sum of
the “Cancel on Monday” through “Cancel on Friday” options. This cancels
the bell for the days it is currently running.
The terminal responds to your entry by prompting ENTER TIME.
5. If you want to add more bell times or delete bell times, repeat this procedure
beginning with step 2. Otherwise, press CLEAR to exit the command.
Note
The terminal displays 62 NOT INSTALLED if the terminal is not configured
with a bell and the terminal immediately exits the command.
Description
If your terminal is configured to ring a bell, use Command 66 to remove the entire
bell schedule.
Procedure
Note
If the terminal is not configured with a bell, the message 62 NOT INSTALLED
appears and the terminal exits the command.
Description
If the terminal is configured to ring a bell, use Command 67 to display the entire
bell schedule for the terminal.
Procedure
3. Press ENTER to view the first scheduled bell time and duration.
4. Press # to display the day of week for the first bell that is scheduled to ring.
5. Press NEXT to see the second scheduled bell, and repeat step 4 to see the other
days of the week that the bell is scheduled to ring.
6. Continue to press the NEXT and PREV keys to scroll through the bells, using
the # key to view days of the week each scheduled bell is to ring.
7. Press CLEAR to exit the command.
Note
The terminal displays 62 NOT INSTALLED if the terminal is not configured
with a bell, and the terminal immediately exits the command
Description
Use Command 69 to change the supervisor password to which you have access.
Supervisors can use supervisor passwords in one of three ways, depending on how
the terminal program has been configured:
M List—Both guards and supervisors can use any of the passwords.
M Group—The last digit of your supervisor or guard number indicates which of
the 10 passwords you can use.
M Unique—The last two digits of your supervisor or guard number indicate
which of the 98 passwords you can use.
Procedure
Note
If you type an incorrect old password or type your new password incorrectly when
verifying it, the terminal responds 95 INVALID PASSWORD.
Whoever configures your terminal must first modify your Timekeeper terminal’s
configuration to meet your company's security requirements. These parameters
manage the gate that is wired to the terminal to prevent unauthorized personnel
from entering a specified area.
You can configure the terminal for one of three levels of entry management:
M Perimeter management
M Gate entry
M Turnstile entry
This section describes each of these levels of entry.
Perimeter Management
Perimeter management is the most restrictive level of entry management and is
available only on Gatekeeper terminals (model 420, with the optional Input/
Output board).
M You can have the terminal tied into an audible alarm system that alerts the
system of an entry violation. This alarm can also include sounding an alarm
when the door to a restricted area remains open too long.
M You can wire the terminal to override the alarm system for a time you set,
thereby allowing the employee to open the door and pass through, with the
door closing behind the employee.
M You can have the terminal configured to sound an alarm when the door
remains open too long.
You can configure any number of terminals for some or all of these features.
Gate Entry
Gate entry is the next restrictive level of entry management for the Series 400
Terminals. When the terminal is configured for gate entry, its memory has two
lists of employee IDs:
M Gate List 0
M Gate List 1
Note
If your terminal is configured for gate entry, it may be set up to manage one or
both gates. If you are not sure, check with your system administrator or Kronos
representative.
The host application may use only Gate List 1. The terminal accepts punches from
home employees and cross-punching employees. However, only employees
included on Gate List 1 are allowed entry to the secured area when they punch.
When the terminal is configured for gate entry, employees cannot enter a secured
area when any of the following conditions occur:
M Employee’s badges are encoded with the wrong company code.
M Employees attempt to cross-punch (that is, punch at a terminal other than their
home terminal) when cross-punching is disabled.
M Employees' IDs are not on Gate List 1 of the terminal at which they are
punching.
Turnstile Entry
Turnstile entry is the least restrictive of the three levels of entry management.
When the terminal is configured for turnstile entry, the terminal can do the
following:
M Accept punches from home employees and cross-punching employees.
M Open the gate for employees who possess badges that are encoded with the
correct company code.
Typically, you install a terminal configured for turnstile entry near a company exit
to allow all employees of the company onto the premises when they swipe their
badges or type their PINs. However, employees without badges or PINs are
restricted from entering the premises.
The following commands are available only in guard mode. This chapter presents
instructions for executing these commands.
M Command 12: Open Gate for Individual
M Command 14: Open Gate for Specified Length of Time
M Command 15: Guard Transaction (not available on the model 420G
Gatekeeper terminal)
M Command 16: Door Open Warning Override
M Command 17: Add/Edit Gate Open Schedule
M Command 18: Clear Gate Open Schedules
M Command 19: Show Employees on Premises
M Command 20: Display Gate Open Schedules
If the command is associated with a function key, you can also press the function
key to initiate the function.
To exit guard mode when the display is in its idle state (displays the date, time,
and the words GUARD MODE):
1. If the PIN feature is not enabled, press the asterisk key once. If the PIN
feature is enabled, press the asterisk key two times. The ENTER COMMAND
NUMBER prompt appears on the display.
2. Press ENTER. The terminal reverts to employee (normal) mode.
Note
If you do not perform the procedure for exiting guard mode, the terminal returns
to employee mode if no keystrokes are performed for a specific interval of time.
You can set this time-out interval using Procedure 40, Step 1, of the Timekeeper
terminal program. If you do not set a time-out interval, the terminal automatically
times out after 45 seconds.
For instructions on setting this time-out interval, see the Series 400 Terminal
Configuration Guide.
Executing Commands
This section explains how to enter and exit guard mode, and how to execute guard
mode commands.
Note
The prompts that appear on your terminal’s display may differ, depending on how
your terminal is configured.
Description
Procedure
Description
Command 14 allows you to open a gate for an indefinite period of time or for a
length of time you specify. The command also enables guards to close a gate. For
example, you might want to open a gate for moving equipment through a gate or
to allow many official visitors through a gate, and then close the gate.
Procedure
Note
The maximum length of time is 100 hours. When the specified length of time
has passed, the gate closes automatically.
Description
This command allows you to enter or edit employee-specific data at the terminal
rather than from the host application. The terminal writes the transaction into
FIFO memory, as a type 2 record.
Note
Command 15 is not available with the model 420G (Gatekeeper terminal).
To use Command 15, the host software must have transaction codes defined to
perform specific tasks. For example, a transaction code could be defined to add
hours to an employee's sick time. Each code can be up to six digits in length.
Procedure
Description
Procedure
Note
The maximum length of time that you can enter is 9960 (100 hours).
Description
Use Command 17 to create or change a schedule that defines times and days for
unrestricted entry through the gate or door. During these gate open times,
employees do not have to swipe badges.
This command allows you to create and edit up to seven gate open time periods
for each gate that the terminal manages. The time periods you define for a gate
constitutes the “gate open schedule” for that gate.
Note
If the terminal is configured for 12-hour time, you must enter all times using the
AM and PM keys.
Procedure
Note
If a gate open time period beginning at the time you enter already exists, its
off time, or gate closing time, displays at this prompt.
4. Enter the end time of the gate open time period and press ENTER.
5. Refer to the following list of settings to enter the days of the week that gate
open time periods should not take effect, and press ENTER.
1 = reserved for future use
2 = cancel on Sunday
4 = cancel on Monday
8 = cancel on Tuesday
16 = cancel on Wednesday
32 = cancel on Thursday
64 = cancel on Friday
128 = cancel on Saturday
For example if the gate schedule calls for leaving the door open only on
Friday, type 190. If you want to remove the gate open time period from the
schedule, type 254 (the sum of the values for each day of the week).
6. If you want to create or edit another gate open time period, repeat this
procedure beginning with step 2. Otherwise, press ENTER to exit the
command.
Description
Use Command 18 to delete a gate open schedule created with Command 17. (See
“Command 17: Add/Edit Gate Open Schedule” for information on how to create
and edit gate open schedules.)
Caution
This command removes the entire gate open schedule for the gate you specify. Do
not use this command if you want to remove individual gate open time periods
within the schedule. Use Command 17 to edit or remove individual time periods.
Procedure
Description
Use Command 19 to display how many employees have swiped in and have yet to
swipe out. You can also choose to display the ID of each of these employees. The
terminal displays the IDs of those employees still on the premises at a rate
determined in the terminal’s configuration.
The in/out status is determined by the information stored in the terminal at the
time you execute the command. Therefore, the status may not agree with the data
in the host application if the terminals have not been updated recently.
Procedure
Description
Use Command 20 to review the number and the detail of Gate Open Schedules
that are still in effect. These are the schedules that you can create with Command
17. (See “Command 17: Add/Edit Gate Open Schedule” for information on how
to create and edit gate open schedules.)
