Step 5: Gently flip the rear cover back onto the rear of the enclosure,
carefully to fold the wires back into the enclosure without pinching
them. Secure the rear cover by installing the screws to hold the cover in
place.
7.2 Charge the Battery
Batteries are shipped uncharged. An uncharged battery must be
charged for a period of 66 hours before it will become fully charged,
‘formed’ for maximum life, and available for backup power use.
Power the unit from the AC/DC wall adapter or PoE. The Battery will
commence charging.
New clocks will automatically form the batteries. The forming procedure
will fully charge the battery over a period of about 24 hours, then allow
it to discharge before charging it again and repeat this until 3 cycles
have been completed. If a battery is replaced, you can initiate the
battery forming sequence manually by using the administrative function
provided. The clock is fully functional during the forming process
Notes:
1. A system running on battery power can be shut down by pressing
the reset button which is located alongside the rear connectors.
2. If operation on battery power is attempted before the battery
reaches full charge, there may be insufficient voltage to transition
to battery powered operation and the system will stop operating.
Place the system back on AC/DC wall adapter or PoE power. Press
the reset button if necessary to shut it down.
8CAMERA USE APPLICATION NOTES
The following best practices are recommended for recording punches
using camera validation:

DF Tuff
Page 14 of 31
•The puncher’s face should be well lit and be between 18 and 30
inches from the camera lens (which is on the top center of the
screen).
•There should not be any other faces in the view of the camera
because the software will then not be able to decide which face
to capture.
•There should not be a lot of movement behind the puncher. For
this reason, the clock should not be mounted in busy areas if
the camera function is to be used.
•There should not be a light source in the camera’s view.
There are two camera validation options:
•Face detection and capture: The clock captures an image of the
user’s face saves it in the client’s instance so that it can then
optionally be viewed on the timesheet. This option uses a great
deal of data storage.
•Facial recognition: Employees are enrolled for verification (i.e.,
their image is taken, saved, and distributed to clocks). When
employees punch, the clock attempts to validate that the image
it sees corresponds to the saved image.
The estimated punch rate when using camera validation should be
between 1 and 6 per minute depending on the option selected.
9INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The DF Touch Clock has two parts: the clock and the wall-mount. The
Clock is shipped in a cardboard carton together with the wall-mount, a
5ft Ethernet cable, and the external power supply.
9.1 Installing the wall-mount
Install the clock in areas that are well lit and not exposed to very hot,
cold or damp conditions. Install the wall-mount exactly horizontally.
Enclosed in the box, you will find the following:

Figure 2: Wall-mount
Use the holes marked B in Figure 2 to attach the wall-mount to a
standard NEMA electrical box, or the holes marked A to mount the clock
to a wall.
The recommended height for mounting the clock differs depending on
your organization’s needs:
•To accommodate users in wheelchairs, install the wall-mount
with its top edge 48 inches from the ground.
•If the camera feature will be used, or if wheelchair access is not
required, install the wall mount with its top edge 56 inches from
the ground.
If the wall-mount is attached to an electrical box, feed the low-voltage
power cable and network cable through the wall, into the box, and
through the cut-out opening of the wall-mount.
