Description
The ‘TR3 TimeClock’is a wall mounted employee time clock device that records
employee start and end times as well as having the capabilities of multi-level job
costing. It has 256K bytes of battery backed RAM memory for storing data, job cost
tables, employee messages, pin numbers and passwords and a real time clock for time
& date stamping each transaction.
It is powered by a 9Vac plug pack and can also have a rechargeable 3.6V NiMH
battery module fitted which will give approximately 8 hours of operation.
The ‘TR3 TimeClock’has a 192 x 168 pixel back lit LCD display for displaying time
and date, error conditions, data entries and menu options.
The ‘TR3 TimeClock’can use either RS232/RS485 or TCP/IP connection to down
load data, update time and date, send lookup tables and record the setup status from a
computer.
The multi-level menu system allows various setup configurations which allow the
user to configure the functionality of the unit.
The unit also has a built in keypad that can be used to enter employee or job numbers
directly or enter the menu system.
The ‘TR3 TimeClock’ has several options for entering transactions:
1. Magnetic Card Reader.
2. Fingerprint Bio Reader.
3. Keypad.
4. PC/AT keyboard.
5. Barcode Scanner.
The ‘TR3 TimeClock’ is constructed from 1.5mm powder coated steal plate which
makes it very strong and sturdy to handle tuff industrial environments.
Basic Operation
Once the ‘TR3 TimeClock’ is mounted and powered on it will display time, date and
status information on the LCD screen.
Employee data can be entered at any time by the various methods described below.
Soft Buttons
The ‘TR3 TimeClock’ has four unmarked buttons on the keypad that sit along the
bottom of the LCD screen. There are also 4 button positions on the bottom of the
LCD screen that correspond to each of the 4 actual buttons on the keypad.
These buttons change their operation depending on the current operation of the clock
and this is indicated by the button label on the LCD screen.

4
If a button has no label on the LCD screen then it has no function and will not
operate.
Exception Button
Before a transaction is entered the user has the option of setting an “Exception” by
pushing the Excpt ‘Soft Button’ located as the top second button from the left.
Once the Excpt button is pushed the clock status line will show “Exception Active”.
This will then prompt the user to enter a 2 digit code after they have entered their
employee number. This 2 digit code is stored with the transaction string and can be
used by the employer as a means of signaling different transactions for the same
employee.
If this function is not activated then the exception code is preset to “00” in the
transaction string.
Magnetic Card Reader
1. The magnetic card reader can be used to enter an employee number and a job
costing number by running the card through the slot from top to bottom with
the magnetic strip facing the right hand side.
2. The transaction will automatically be accepted and registered and a will
‘BEEP’ and display the Employee/Job number on the display if it is a valid
card number.
3. If Job Costing is enabled then an Employee number must be swiped first
before entering the Job number.
4. When generating magnetic cards an Employee number does not have a prefix
to the number e.g. 800013. A Job number must have the number “9” with no
Job Level number as a prefix e.g. “912345678” is a Job number 12345678.
When programming barcodes, all numbers must start and finish with the start
and end character “*” e.g. *800013* is the employee number 800013 while
*956789* is a job number 56789
Barcode Scanning
1. Ensure that a barcode scanner is connected to the ‘TR3 TimeClock’PS2 input
connector positioned on the bottom of the clock.
2. Holding the scanner, push the scanners ‘ON’ button and pass over the barcode.
3. The ‘TR3 TimeClock’should ‘BEEP’ and display the Employee/Job number
on the display if it is a valid barcode.
4. Each valid transaction will remain displayed for 10 seconds or until another
barcode is scanned.
5. If Job Costing is enabled then an Employee number must be scanned first
before entering the Job number.

5
6. When generating barcodes an Employee number must use the letter “E” as a
prefix to the number egg. E800013. A Job number must have the letter “J” as
well as the Job Level number as a prefix e.g. the barcode “J2456” is a level 2
Job number 456.
A Job number can be constructed by using up to 4 sub levels. For example the
job number 12345678 using 4 levels will be made up of 4 different barcodes
of 2 characters. The 4 barcodes will be “J112” “J234” “J356” “J478”.
Each of these 4 barcodes can be scanned in any order and the final Job number
will be displayed as a single number.
Keyboard Entry
Data may also be entered using an external keyboard that has a PS2 connector or from
the built in keypad. Data is keyed in manually starting with the employee number and
if enabled followed by the Job number.
Both the Employee number and the Job number must be terminated with a carriage
return after entering all the numbers.
The Job number is entered as a single number with no level information.
The ‘E’ and ‘J’ prefixes do not need to be entered.
Fingerprint Reader
If fitted users may enter their employee ID into the clock using 1 or more fingerprints.
The fingerprint module is a stand alone finger reader that contains all the enrolled
fingerprint templates. Up to 1900 fingers can be stored in the on board FLASH
memory. The enrolment process uses 2 fingerprint templates for each finger enrolled
to improve the false acceptance rejection. This means that if each user enrolled 1
finger each there could be 950 users stored in the system.
For user security each fingerprint template will contain only the information required
to determine a valid match when a finger is placed on the sensor. A complete
fingerprint image is not able to be produced from these templates and can not be used
in anything other than the fingerprint module.
The finger guide containing the fingerprint sensor is used to position the finger
correctly onto the sensor; however, the more consistent a user is with finger
placement the more reliable the verification will be. Excessively wet and dirty fingers
will also reduce the readability of a fingerprint.
Any build up of dirt on the reader should be cleaned with a clean dry cloth. DO NOT
USE ANY SOLVENTS OR ABRASIVE CLEANERS.
In order for the fingerprint sensor to capture a unique image the ‘core’ part of the
finger must be captured. This ‘core’ area lies in the middle between the tip of the
finger and the first joint. This is the area of the finger which contains all the unique
swirl patterns of the fingerprint. The very tip of the finger does not contain enough

6
information to provide a unique code between different fingers and should not be
used.
It is best to place the finger onto the sensor so that the middle part between the tip of
the finger and the first joint is placed in the centre of the sensor, this should provide a
good read.
If the sensor miss reads the finger try giving both the finger and the sensor a quick
wipe with a cloth before retrying. Sometimes a dirty film may form on the sensor
which could reduce its sensitivity and even a wipe with a finger is enough to clear the
problem.
Note: The sensor contains a protective coating over the top surface so it is
important that this coating is not scratched by objects, dirt and grit or excessive
pressure from a finger. The longer this coating remains intact the longer life
expectancy of the sensor. Once the coating is damaged the finger read will
become degraded and more verification problems will arise.
Each user must register 1 or more fingers into the clocks finger data base before they
are able to use the fingerprint input method. See the “Menu System” section below for
procedures in setting up the finger module.
The finger data base can be backed up to a computer file and restored to the same or
any other clock the user wants through use of the ‘TimeClock Polling Software’.
Function Cancel
At any stage of either data entry or menu system, the current operation can be
cancelled by pressing the Quit button. This button is a “Soft Button” and is the 4th
Button from the top left. It is only active when the “Soft Button” label contains the
word “Quit”.
System Reset
The ‘TR3 TimeClock’can be reset by holding down the 3rd button from the
left for more than 5 seconds. This function is a hidden function and will not have a
“Soft Button” label and only operates when the clock is in normal operating mode.
Once reset, the unit will display the version numbers, input and output modules fitted,
memory fitted.

Menu System
Entering the Menu
Factory Default Access Code: 1234.
To enter the Menu System both the 1st and 4th top buttons must be pushed together.
The Menu System has a 4 digit security code which must be entered before access to
the menu is allowed. The security code is entered by using the keypad buttons and
pushing the Enter button to accept the entry.
As each of the 4 digits are entered there will be a corresponding “*” character
displayed on the display in that digits position.
Once all 4 digits of the access code have been selected and match the users stored
code the display will show the first page of the menu.
Using the Menu
To scroll up or down the menu list use the UP or Down buttons. Each selection
will be highlighted on the display.

4. Fingerprint Exception (This selects whether a fingerprint scan will be accepted
with or without a password entry).
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:
ON - Enables Fingerprint only with no password.
OFF - Enables Fingerprint entry and password entry.
Quit - Exits without saving changes.
Enter - Saves changes made and exits.
This function is used primarily when a user cannot successfully register a
reliable fingerprint into the system. In this case the pin number/passwords can be
enabled and any user who must swipe a magnetic card must also enter a password
while the user who successfully enters their fingerprint will not need to enter a
password as well.
13. Network Settings
This option allows setup of the network IP address and also resets the IP
module to factory defaults if it does not respond.
Please refer to the “TR3 Time Clock Ethernet Module.doc” document for more details
on the TCP/IP connection and setup.
There are two submenus:
1. Enter IP Address
This allows the clock network IP address to be entered and programmed into
the IP module. The IP address format is “xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” and each “x” is
entered from the keypad (e.g. 192.168.001.032).
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:

15
Next - Cycles through edit fields.
Quit - Exits without saving changes.
Enter - Saves selection and exits.
Note: reprogramming the IP address may take about 30 seconds to
complete.
2. Reset Network connection
This option resets the TCP/IP module to factory defaults and reprograms the
IP address to the one set in the above menu option.
Note: resetting the IP module may take about 60 seconds to complete.
14. Fingerprint Options
This option sets up the basic operation of the fingerprint module and contains
the following sub-menu:
1. Enroll Fingerprint
This menu option allows users to register a fingerprint into the fingerprint data base.
The fingerprint template is registered under their employee number so when a correct
finger is placed on the sensor the employee number will be stored in the transaction.
The user will be first asked to enter their employee number. This can be done by
keypad, external keyboard, barcode entry or magnetic card.
Once the employee number is entered the user is instructed to place their finger onto
the sensor. The finger is scanned and the user is asked to remove their finger and then
push the OK button and place the same finger on the sensor for a second scan.
If both scans are successful then the finger template is generated and stored
under the employee number in the data base.
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:
OK - Signals that the user is ready for the second finger scan.
Quit - Exits without saving to data base.
2. Card Verification
This option is used to enable or disable the use of entering an employee number prior
to verifying with a fingerprint entry. If the fingerprint data base is large it may take
considerable time for the fingerprint module to scan all available fingerprint data
before a match is made but if this option is enabled the correct fingerprint data is
accessed immediately upon entry of the employee number and a very quick
verification can be made when the finger is placed on the sensor.
Fingerprint verification is also active without prior entry of the employee number but
the entire data base is searched.

16
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:
ON - Enables Card Verification.
OFF - Disables Card Verification.
Quit - Exits without saving changes.
Enter - Saves changes made and exits.
3. Employee Exception
This option is used only if “Card Verification” above is enabled and allows a user
who is unable to register a usable fingerprint into the system to be able to swipe a
magnetic card and not have to enter their fingerprint.
On entry to this menu option the user is asked to enter their employee number. This
can be done by either swiping a magnetic card or using the keypad. The entered
employee number is then stored in memory and used to bypass the fingerprint
verification process when ever the user enters their number.
The following submenu is available:
1. Add Employee
This option allows the entry of an employee number that does not need finger
verification. The number can be entered from the keypad, magnetic card reader,
external keypad or barcode reader.
For extra security the pin number option can also be used in conjunction with this
to allocate passwords for card transactions only.
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:
Quit - Exits without saving changes.
Enter - Saves changes made and exits.
2. Delete Employee
This option allows employee numbers to be deleted from the exception data
base one at a time. The user is asked to enter the employee number that is to be
removed. The number can be entered from the keypad, magnetic card reader,
external keypad or barcode reader.
Before the number is deleted the user is asked to confirm the deletion by using the
Yes or No soft buttons.
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:
Yes - Confirm deletion.
No - Do not delete.
Quit - Exits without saving changes.

17
3. Delete All Employees
This option allows the entire employee exception number data base to be deleted.
Before the number is deleted the user is asked to confirm the deletion by using the
Yes or No soft buttons.
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:
Yes - Confirm deletion.
No - Do not delete.
Quit - Exits without saving changes.
4. Finger Security
Default: High.
This option allows the user to select how close a match is required between the stored
finger data and the finger placed on the sensor. There are four security settings:
Normal, High (default), Very High or Extremely High
There is a trade off between user convenience and how close a match is required. The
‘Normal’ setting will allow a finger to be accepted with far less accuracy than the
‘High’ , ‘Very High’ and ‘Extremely High’ settings but will not require nearly as
accurate finger placement on the sensor.
The ‘Extremely High’ setting will give the least amount of false verifications but will
require more accurate finger placement and require more processing time to complete.
The settings are selected by using the UP and Down soft buttons.
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:
Up - Increases security level selection.
Down - Decreases security level selection.
Quit - Exits without saving changes.
Enter - Saves selection and exits.
5. Sensor Sensitivity
Default: 7.
This option gives the user a choice of seven settings (0 (lowest) to 7(highest))
which adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor.
Under most normal situations the default setting of 7 should be used but if users are
experiencing difficulties in false triggering when reading fingerprints then the
sensitivity of the sensor could be reduced to see if this will alleviate the problem.
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:
Up - Increases sensor sensitivity level selection.
Down - Decreases sensor sensitivity level selection.
Quit - Exits without saving changes.
Enter - Saves selection and exits.

18
6. Delete Finger
This option allows an employees finger template to be removed from the data base.
All instances of the employee in the data base will be removed.
The user is asked to enter their employee number and a scan of the data base is done
to ensure the employee number exists in the data base.
Once this is done verification of the delete process is asked for using the Yes or No
soft buttons prior to deletion of the employee from the data base.
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:
Yes - Confirm deletion.
No - Do not delete.
Quit - Exits without saving changes.
7. Training Mode
This menu selection sets the TimeClock into a finger placement training mode
where users can temporarily enrol a finger and have it verify every time they place
their finger on the sensor without the scan being stored in memory.
To activate this mode turn the Training mode ON in the menu. The user will then be
asked to enrol a finger by placing it onto the sensor. Once enrolled, two soft buttons
will allow the user to either “Enrol” another finger or “Scan” the last finger enrolled.
The “Enrol” procedure will also show how good the finger was scanned by showing a
number out of 100. The higher the number, the better the scan.
The Scan button allows the user to keep using the same finger to verify against the
enrolled template. In this way the user can get used to having their finger scanned
without each scan being stored as a transaction in the clock. This will allow users to
experiment with finger placement and give them more confidence in using the system.
The TimeClock will remain in this mode until the Quit button is pressed.
Available ‘Soft Buttons’:
Enrol - Generate a new temporary finger template.
Scan - Verify the scanned finger with the temporary template.
Quit - Exits Training Mode.
For more in depth information refer to the “TR3 FingerprintV3.doc” document.
