2.4 Handling lithium batteries
The device has a lithium manganese dioxide battery, type CR2032, to buffer the
memory. The battery is on the rear of the terminal housing.
CAUTION
Lithium batteries can rupture or burst like an explosive.
Improper handling of lithium batteries can cause fire and explosions.
• Lithium batteries may only be replaced by the SERVICE PERSON.
• They may only be replaced by batteries of the same type.
• Do not open, bore through, or crush lithium batteries.
• Do not burn lithium batteries or expose them to high temperatures.
• Do not short-circuit lithium batteries.
• Do not recharge the lithium batteries.
2.5 ESD (electrostatic discharge) protective measures
NOTICE!
Danger for electronic components due to electrostatic discharge.
Improper handling of printed circuit boards or components can cause damages that
lead to complete failures or sporadic errors.
• During installation and repair of the device, the ESD protective measures must
be considered.
The following rules must be considered:
• Wear an ESD wristband when handling electronic components.
Connect the end of the wristband to a discharge socket or an unvarnished
grounded metal component. This way, static charges are discharged from
your body securely and effectively.
• Touch only the edges of circuit boards. Do not touch the circuit board nor the
connector.
• Place all dismantled components on an antistatic surface or in an antistatic
container.
• Avoid contact between circuit boards and clothing. The wristband only
protects the printed circuit boards against electrostatic discharge from your
body, but there is still a risk of damage through electrostatic discharge from
your clothing.
• Transport and dispatch dismantled modules only in electrostatically shielded
protective bags.

3Product description
3.1 B-eco
The terminal has been designed for shop floor data collection (SFDC) functions and
can also perform time and attendance functions or can be used for project time
recording.
The B-Client PDC6 terminal software is used on the terminal. Data records of the
B-Net and B-web terminal series are compatible with the data records used in this
device.
The terminal software can be updated any time via a software update.
In combination with the B-COMM communication software, the device offers a new
and comfortable concept for start-up, subsequent functional upgrades and device
analysis.
To display time data and information, the terminal has a graphic monochrome
display with a resolution of 240 x 128 pixels.
The device has capacitive key fields that are operated by touching the glass front.
The function keys are designed for time and attendance and SFDC.
Time data are entered via a contactless RFID reader, a biometric reader or a swipe
card reader, depending on the version.
An external reader (e.g. CCD scanner) can optionally be connected.
Communication is established via the Ethernet network and power supply via PoE
(Power over Ethernet).
Optionally, the terminal has 1 output (relay) and 2 digital inputs for control functions.
