Overview
Manuals
The WORKtime online terminal uses the hardware of the TIMEmate to emulate a online
concentrator and a WORKmate system. The communication is compatible with the online
concentrator. If more than 1 WORKtime terminal is connected the server software must scan all
terminals. With a concentrator the server software typically only scan 1 concentrator

Input / Output
Relays
The timemate has the following relays :
•Relays 1 has a normal open (NO) and a normal closed (NC) contact and drives up to 220V
1A.
•Relays 2 has only a normal open (NC) contact.
•Relays 3 driver is a pin on the ‘extra connection’ connector that can drive an external relay
with a 5V Coil.
•Relays 4 driver is a pin on the green terminal block connector located on the processor board,
that can drive an external relay with a 5V Coil.
See the drawings at the end of the manual.
Be careful when switching inductive loads with the relays, when the power to a coil is switched
off it will generate a large voltage spike that can burn out the relays contacts, especially when
switching a DC voltage.
Never switch the primary coil of a 220V transformer, always place the relay contacts in the
secondary circuit.
Led’s
The timemate can drive 2 LED’s typically a green and a red.
Can be used to indicate correct or false input or other special applications.
Inputs
The timemate has 2 non isolated binary inputs located on the ‘Extra connection’ connector of
the power supply. And 1 isolated binary input located on the processor board.
Their main use is for connecting a switches to the timemate.
Connect a powerless switch between ‘switch input 1’ and ‘+5V for input’
or ‘switch input 2’ and ‘+5V for input’.
The isolated input can handle both powerless contacts or switched external voltages.
See the drawings at the end of the manual.
Card readers
Barcodes :
There are 2 barcodes ports, 1 for an internal reader and 1 for an external reader.
Both ports can be used simultaneously.
These codes are recognized : 2/5 interleaved, code 39, UPC and EAN bar-codes.
A CCD scanner can be programmed to translate other types of barcodes to Code 39.
You can connect :
−Barcode badge reader for infrared or visible light
−Barcode wand
−CCD scanner.

Magnetic cards
The TIMEMate reads magnetic cards with ISO track 2. (ISO 2 ABA)
Track 2 is 4 bits per character plus a parity bit
The track format is: START(13) data END(15) LRC
One internal reader can be connected.
Proximity cards (RF tags).
You can connect one internal reader and two external readers to the TIMEmate simultaneously.
Readers 2 and 3 have an opto-isolated current loop interface to connect a reader up 50 meter
away from the TIMEmate. The reader must be connected through a doorlock interface. This
doorlock interface gives power to the reader and drives the current loop interface. The doorlock
interface has also 2 relays and a powersupply for AC or DC doorlock coils.
If you close jumper 1,2 and 3 or the power supply board, reader 3 can be connected, for a short
distance, directly to the TIMEmate without a doorlock interface. (see the drawings at the end of
the manual)
Wiegand proximity cards.
You can connect one internal wiegand reader to the TIMEmate.
The data from a wiegand reader is not in the form of readable characters like a mag. stripe cards
or data received though the mag. stripe interface.
Wiegand data is a stream of bits that must be decoded to a decimal card number.
This bit stream is divided into blocks of bits. These blocks need to be converted to a decimal
number, in the example below bit 10 to 25 are used to make the card number.
Because there is no standard in the formatting of wiegand cards the decoding of the card number
takes place in the application program not in the firmware of the TIMEmate.

Serial lines
The terminal has 2 serial ports.
The main port is for connection to a computer see the ‘TIMEmate III communication manual’
Port 1 can be configured with DIP switches on the powersupply in 3 communication modes:
1) A RS232 connection.
Max. 50 meters. Only 1 terminal can be connected on 1 computer port.
Can be directly connected to the computer serial ports.
2) A multidrop RS485 (4 wire) connection
Max. 1200 meters. Max 32 terminals can be connected to 1 computer port.
You need to place a RS232 to RS485 converter on the serial port of your computer.
We recommend the Westermo ACCESS MA-42 it also optically isolates the network from
your computer.
3) An Ethernet interface can be plugged into the processor board.
This interface converts the data from serial port 1 to an Ethernet network using the IP
protocol family.
The cable lengths are for 9600 baud, for lower baud rates the cable can be longer.
The extra port is for special serial connections.
Port 2 can be configured with DIP switches on the processor board in 3 communication modes:
1) A RS232 connection located on the powersupply board.
The application can use this port to drive a printer or other serial devices.
This port is also used to program the flash memory.
2) A RS485 connection located on the processor board.
This is used to connect a network of external MORI interfaces for access control.
3) A TTL level serial connection located on the powersupply board.
Is special OEM modules that have no full RS232 interface.

Mounting
The timemate is mounted to the wall with a special mounting plate. The timemate hooks into the
bent upper part of the plate and is then fixed to the plate with 2 screws. These screws are
accessed by removing the bottom lid of the timemate.
Look at the end of this manual for to see the dimensions of the wall plate and where you can
make a hole to guide the cables.
The cables to the timemate can go through the back of the timemate and then through the wall.
Or the cables can go through the bottom of the timemate with cable glands.
If you drill a hole for cables in the TIMEmate and you still want to keep the IP54 waterproof
protection you need to use watertight seals like cable grommets and cable glands.
The cables of the TIMEmate can go trough the back of the TIMEmate and then trough the wall
or the cables can go trough the bottom of the TIMEmate.
You can use a cable grommet or a cable gland for each cable with an IP54 protection for cables
with a diameter ranging from 3.5 to 8 mm (PG9).
If you use a cable grommet it is recommended to use a strain relief on the cable.

Keyboard
The keyboard gives no mechanical feedback, you can’t feel if a key is closes or not.
Instead you hear a short beep to give the user an indication if the key is pressed or not.
The backspace and enter key have a fixed function.
Numbers can be entered with the numerical keys, input errors can be corrected with the
backspace key and the input can be finished with the enter key.
The other function keys are transmitted as function codes, see table below.
