6 Time Recorder Installation
Time Recorder Installation
Basically the PERFECT recorder is designed for table operation. No further settings
are required for this type of application. Please see the instructions in the following
section ”Installation for table operation”. If you have to connect additional functions
such as signal operation, or master or slave clock operation, refer to the end of
section "Wall mounting".
For wall mounting refer to the corresponding section "Wall mounting". When used as
wall-mounted recorder you have to carry out a number of installation steps described
in this chapter.
The connection of additional options and the programming of the time recorder are
carried out with the time recorder’s case open. Below the time display panel you will
find a power switch and other electrical terminals and components. Please refer to
the section "Programming panel".
Warning!
All work must only be carried out by qualified and authorized
personal.
Installation for Table Operation
When using the time recorder as a table model, the installation effort is reduced to a
minimum. Simply connect the power supply to the recorder and then plug it in to the
closest receptacle. Switch on the black power switch located on the PC board. For
instructions on how to switch the recorder on see section "Getting Started".
Fig. 3: Bottom side of the recorder with rubber feet and mains cable socket

Time Recorder Installation 7
Select an easily accessible and vibration-free place of installation. The recorder may
only be placed on a stable, slip-resistant surface.
For the stability of the time recorder use the rubber feet included in the set of
accessories. For this purpose clip them on by following the arrow-head indications.
Also use the 3 cover caps for the metal back plate in order to seal the cable leadings.
The power outlet has to be close to the recorder and easily accessible. Lay the
power cable so that access is not obstructed and persons are not endangered.
Warning!
Only use the time recorder with the enclosed power supply both
in case of table operation and of wall mounting. Do not use
extension cords.
Wall Mounting
The PERFECT time recorder is designed for table mounting. However, 120 VAC
power connection and signal control terminals have been provided to meet the
requirements of eventual wall mounting applications.
Installation steps:
1. Open the time recorder
2. Remove the metal rear panel
3. Mount the time recorder on the wall
4. Connect the power supply
5. Connect any additional
functions (if required)
6. Getting Started
The location of the mounting holes
can be traced from the metal back
plate of the time recorder. The metal
back plate can be plugged in with the
plastic housing.
The installation dimensions shown in
the figure on the right are
recommendations which can be
adjusted to the local conditions. The
dimensions apply both for table
operation and for wall mounting.

10 Time Recorder Installation
Wall Mounting
The location of the mounting holes can be traced from the metal back plate of the
time recorder. The metal back plate can be plugged in with the plastic housing.
See previous section. The installation dimensions mentioned in this manual are
recommendations which have to be adjusted for local conditions.
1. Position the metal back plate in the desired wall location. Make sure the back
plate is level by using a carpenter’s level
2. Using a pencil, trace the upper and lower mounting holes of the metal back
plate on the wall. Drill corresponding holes with a 5/16” drillbit . Insert the wall
plugs.
3. Mount the metal back plate starting first with the lower screw and then the top
screw. Make sure you do not fully tighten.
4. Using a carpenters level, align the time recorder once more and then tighten
both screws.
5. Hang the time recorder mechanism on the wall mounted metal back plate. The
four metal tabs (one on each corner of the metal back plate) must be aligned
and inserted into the corresponding slots of the rear case cover. When the
cover has been inserted correctly on the metal tabs, pull time recorder slightly
downwards until the locking mechanism engages.
Check your installation for good fits.
Connect the Power Supply
1. Make sure that the recorder has been switched off.
