Safety instructions
Designated use
•The PERFECT 2030 time recorder is exclusively designed for the printing of
time and date information on manufacturer approved time cards, which is the
only designated use of this machine, as described in this manual.
•Using the time recorder for purposes other than that described above is
considered contrary to its designated use. The manufacturer cannot be held
liable for any damage resulting from such use. The risk of misuse of the time
recorder lies entirely with the user.
•The time recorder has no explosive environment protection. The use of the
recorder in an explosive hazardous area is contrary to its designated use. The
manufacturer and/or dealer cannot be held liable for any damage resulting
from installation and use of the time recorder in such areas.

you follow the instructions set out in the operating manual.
•All service work on the time recorder must be done by trained technicians who
are familiar with the time recorder and have been instructed in safety
precautions.
•All applicable local and national safety regulations must be observed in the
installation, use, and maintenance of the time recorder.
•Modifications to the time recorder made without the authorization of the
manufacturer will negate the manufacturer’s responsibility and liability.
Hints for the user
•Before installing and programming the time recorder, the operator must read
the operating instructions and safety notes.
•The time recorder should only be opened by competent and trained
personnel.
•The external power supply must be unplugged during maintenance and repair.

Product Overview
The PERFECT series of microprocessor based time recorders are available in
several configurations.
The series is separated into two classifications - non-calculating and
calculating.
The models P2005, and P2020 are non-calculating time recorders. They print
the time of daily arrivals and departures on time cards.
The models P2030 and P2040 are calculating time recorders. In addition to
printing daily arrival and departure times on a time card, they calculate the
elapsed time between punches (according to user defined workplace rules)
and print the various totals.
Common features of all PERFECT time recorders are their ease of
programming, user friendly interface and minimum maintenance requirements.
After programming, the time recorder’s operation is fully automatic. Each time
recorder is equipped with automatic daylight savings time change capability; a
perpetual calendar to adjust for leap years and month-end date changes; and
a reliable quartz time base with battery back-up during power failures. Many
PERFECT models can be equipped with additional features such as audible
signal control, synchronized time operation, and battery standby to allow time
recorder registrations during power failures.
This manual gives you step by step instructions on the operation of the
PERFECT 2030 time recorder. It documents all important functions which are
available to users.
We recommend that you carefully read this manual, before the commissioning
and use of the time recorder. To save time, please keep it in a handy location
for future reference.
All recorders are of utmost reliability and have passed thorough quality
assurance tests. Nevertheless, if there should be any problems which are not
covered by this manual, please contact your local dealer or e-mail us at:

2-2 Features Chapter 2
PERFECT 2030
The PERFECT 2030 is a calculating time recorder that records the time and date of
the arrival and departure of employees. The recorded time is printed on a bar-coded
time card with distinct, pre-printed “In / Out” columns.
The time recorder also has the ability to calculate the elapsed time between an “In”
and an “Out” punch and immediately print user defined totals in distinct columns that
are pre-printed on the time card. The totals printed are arrived at after the application
of certain global workplace rules that the user programs.
Employee use of the time recorder is very simple. When the employee inserts the
time card into the card receiver, the time recorder automatically pulls the time card
into the printer and aligns it for a precise print registration in the appropriate In / Out
column. Once the printing function is completed, the time recorder releases the card
and the employee can remove it for placing in a nearby card storage rack.
The dot matrix printer of the PERFECT is maintenance-free. In addition, bicolored
ribbons enable the time recorder to highlight in red ink any attendance irregularities.
The PERFECT 2030 time recorder is equipped with a large two-line backlit display.
The display shows the current date and time. The enhanced capabilities of this
display make the use of the time recorder extremely simple, especially when being
programmed.
Once the user has programmed the PERFECT 2030, the time recorder becomes
fully automatic.
The PERFECT time recorder has been designed for table mounting. However, wall
mounting is also possible.
You can find an overview of the features and flexibility of the PERFECT 2030 and
