Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
TR3800 is a multi-function time recorder combining the cutting edge
proximity (RF), bar code and magstripe technology. The TR3800 possess with
superior reading device, STN backlight display and versatile a mulit IO (input
& output) outlet. The TR3800 is not only for storing employee attendance
records, but also serves as a powerful access control system.
Preventing from pleonasm, we take the TR3800B-128 (bar code type)
Time Recorder for instance in the following chapters. Except the method of
using card, the proximity and magstripe types are mostly the same in function
and operation. If necessary, we will take example to clarify the difference
between them. Henceforth, we call the TR3800 Time-Recorders as “TR3800”,
“Time-Recorder”, “the machine” or “the unit”.

TR3800’s Features:
1. Easy, fast and error-free data collection for personnel attendance-
employee’s ID number, year, date, time, shift and status of entry.
2. Embeds the high-voltage surge protection circuit.
3. 10 years of data preservation after a loss of main power. Normally
work is available for 4.5 hours by using UPS battery.
4. A 128KB double-low-power consumption memory under dymatic mode.
Its storage capacity is approximately 10,000 records.
5. Records-rescuing function that allows to recall the deleted records
within 180 days.
6. The ability of shift-management provides 4 shifts, out and return keys.
7. The real-time (on line) function allows the computer to monitor 20,000
persons. And save into the hard disk in synchronous.
8. Auto detect serial port and auto-configuration system settings -- the
progress of computer technology that bring much convience, but the
hardware and peripheral devices are getting more complicated. The
TR3800 provides a auto-searching function to dectect computer’s serial
ports and save to setting value.
9. Offers flexible record format that suit the output pattern to diversity of
personnel management application systems.
10.An external alarm system provides 112 alarms (16 alarms for each day
a week) , the definable duration from 1 to 99 second(s).
11.Embeds 2,000 perssons security and 3-level access control.
12.Supports full function TCP/IP LAN links – Local LAN, WAN, IntraNet
and InterNet

machine’s ID for unique identity (“001” is factory setting). Any machine’s ID
can not be equal to any of others ,otherwise link-error!
1. Read the Setup Card (or press&hold Exit-key and than
power-on)
2. Input Password “3198” – date and clock blinking
3. Press Combined Func-key
4. Input “210”
15
5. Use forward or backward to change machine ID
