Installing a PC Series Clock

Step 1: Select a site to install your clock that will be convenient to employees clocking in and out. When deciding where the clock will be installed, keep in mind that an 115vAC power outlet should be within reach of the mounting location as well as either a wired or wireless internet connection.

Step 2: After selecting the appropriate installation site, use the mounting-plate to determine the appropriate height. Hold the mounting-plate on the wall and mark the screw hole locations on the wall.

Install the mounting-plate to the wall using the supplied screws. For sheetrock walls, drill a 3/16” diameter hole through each of the four screw locations: each approx. 1-1/2” deep. Install the plastic “anchors” included in the mounting screw packet.
Installing a PC Series Clock

Note: The bottom of the clock should be about 45 inches from the floor.

If using a wired network connection plug the RJ 45 network cable into the Ethernet port and the Power Adapter plug into the power adapter port which is in the compartment on the back of the clock.

Important Note: If using POE (Power Over Ethernet) do not connect power adapter. The existing network must be set up for POE. Please verify with your I.T. department.

Troubleshooting a PC Series Clock

If the Pay Clock software does not communicate with the clock, try these suggestions:

General Troubleshooting

Make sure that all connections are secure, and the cable is intact, or the wireless access point is connected.
Make sure that the network cable is securely connected to the Ethernet port on the clock.
Make sure the wireless access point is working.
Make sure that the clock’s power supply is securely connected to an electrical outlet.
Make sure that the power supply is securely connected to the clock and the unit is powered up

If after going through each item above you are still not communicating with the clock, have your network administrator or IT person make sure there are not any issues with the network.

PC Series Troubleshooting

Issue	Resolution
The clock isn’t connecting to Pay Clock Online	If your clock is not

connecting to Pay Clock Online, use the Test Connection button. See Appendix A for details.
The clock shows “Not Found” when a badge is presented| Make sure that the number that is printed on the badge matches what was entered in the Badge Number field in Pay Clock for the employee.
What does the cloud on the display represent?| This represents that the clock is connected to Pay Clock Online.
What does the bar graph on the display represent?| This represents the signal strength for the wireless connection.
Why does the clock show “Punch Accepted” instead of Punch In or Out when an employee punches?| The clock lost the connection to the internet, so it displays Punch Accepted. The clock must have a connection to the internet to determine if a punch is In or Out. Check to see if the cloud icon is displaying at the top of the screen.
Why do the employee badges sometimes register a punch while in the badge rack?| The clock uses an internal antenna. Make sure badges are kept 6” away from the clock when not in use to avoid accidental badge reads.

Appendix A – Testing the Connection to Pay Clock Online

Important – This tool has been designed to help in the event the clock fails to connect to Pay Clock Online. It may be necessary to involve your IT department or someone familiar with your network if you have connection issues.

The PC Series clocks have a function that will allow the user to test the connection to Pay Clock Online.

Tap the Settings button, enter the administrator PIN and tap .

The Settings menu will display.
Tap Support and then Test Connection.
Test 1 – Internet connection test.
Pass = The test cycle will move to the port test.
Fail – What should I do if this test fails?
Does another device successfully connect to the internet? Such as a laptop(wired/wifi) or a smartphone(wifi).
Contact your IT department for assistance.
Test 2 – Ports used by the clock will be tested.
Pass = The test cycle will move to the Pay Clock Online service test.
Fail – What should I do if this test fails?
Open the listed port(s) to traffic.
Contact your IT department to open the listed port(s) to traffic.
Test 3 – Pay Clock Online Service used by the clock will tested.
Pass = The test cycle will display a summary of the test.
Fail – What should I do if this test fails?
Open the listed port(s) to Inbound / Outbound traffic.
Contact your IT department to open the listed port(s) to traffic.
Test 4 – Is the clock set up in Pay Clock Online.
Pass = The test cycle will display a summary of the test.
Fail – What should I do if this test fails?
Open Pay Clock Online and set up the PC Series clock under Clocks.

Notes – The internet test will attempt to ping www.google.com. If ping is disabled on the network a false test result could be displayed and may require you to involve your IT department or someone familiar with your network.

It may be necessary to involve your IT department or someone familiar with your network if there is a failure with the Ports or Pay Clock Online Services test which requires changes to the network / firewall settings.

Appendix B – Installing a Battery

The PC Series clocks have an optional re-chargeable battery, so the clock is operational during a power failure. Once the power is restored the battery will automatically re-charge.

Remove the cover from the battery compartment on the back of the clock.
Position the battery connector as shown.
Plug the battery connector into the clock connector.
Tuck the connector wires and battery into the battery compartment, being careful not to pinch the wires.
Insert the cover into the slot and snap it into place.

Note: Make sure the wires are not pinched when closing cover.

Appendix C – Adjusting Finger Sensitivity

With the PCTOUCH model if an employee’s finger is mistakenly read as another employee, you can adjust the sensitivity level by employee.

Example: Joe Smith puts his finger on the sensor but Stan Able shows as punching on the display. The solution would be to increase Stan’s security level. Increasing Stan’s security level will lessen the chance of Stan’s fingerprint being read as another employee.

Adjusting Finger Sensitivity

At the clock tap the fingerprint button and enter the clock administrator password (99999 is the default).

At the Employee selection screen, tap on the name of the desired employee.
At the Employee Finger enrollments screen tap Biometric Settings. The Security screen will display these settings.
