Introduction  
Overview  
The ATR120 is an electronic across-the-card time clock, which can be used for a  
weekly or a biweekly pay period. The unique ATR121 Time Card offers a weekly  
time card on the front and a biweekly time card on the back. The day progresses  
across the card from left to right in six columns. This is accomplished by pressing  
one of the card-positioning buttons (IN-OUT) on top of the clock. The pay period  
(day of week) moves down the card, top to bottom. You may select the time of day  
you want this “day change” to occur. You may also select the starting day of your  
pay period during the easy set up procedure.  
The ATR120 offers two-color printing so employee punches outside normal punch  
times will print in RED allowing for quick and easy auditing of exception punches.  
The built-in signal can be programmed to audibly denote start and stop work times.  
The large analog clock face, not electronically synchronized with the digital display,  
is easy to read from across the room.  
With a built-in battery back-up, auto daylight saving adjustments and a perpetual  
calendar, the ATR120 Time Clock will always print the correct time.

IV. Getting started  
Installing clock dial battery  
The front cover must be opened before the clock dial battery can be installed.  
Opening the front cover also allows you to set the clock's analog time. You will need  
to do this occasionally to synchronize the clock dial to the digital display and printer.  
3
To open the front  
cover, turn the clock  
on its back and  
remove the two  
outer screws on  
bottom of clock.  
Stand the clock  
upright with the back facing you. With both thumbs press down on IN1 and OUT3  
buttons while using your fingers to push cover away.  
The clock dial panel is shipped locked into place. You have the option of removing  
the tab that locks the clock panel into place for easy access when setting the clock. If  
you remove the locking tab, we suggest you keep the tab. To remove the locking tab,  
unfasten the screw located in the front cover and remove the screw and clip. The  
screw and clip may be stored by securing it into the post screw hole below where it  
was removed. It is not necessary to remove the locking tab to install the battery or to  
adjust the clock dial time setting.  
Once the front cover is open, you will be able to install the battery and to set the  
time on the dial. Opening the front cover also allows you to access the ribbon  
cassette.  
V. Setting the ATR120  
Programming Hints  
The ATR120 incorporates features to make the task of time and attendance faster and  
easier.  
The simplest way to program the ATR120 is to set all of the functions, at one time,  
while in the program mode. Although, you may set functions independently it is  
recommended that you follow the program sequence.  
When programming the time, and the time of day for events to occur, the display  
will show time in a 24-hour format (i.e. 3:00 PM will be 15:00).  
To place the clock in the program mode, set the program switch located on back of  
clock, in the upper left corner from “NOR” to “PRO” (top position). This now  
activates the 6 manual card-positioning switches (“IN1”, “OUT1”, etc.) on top of the  
4
clock to function as program switches. With the dust cover open you will find that  
these program switches are numbered 1 – 6 to simplify programming the ATR120  
The first switch on the top left of the clock (IN1) functions as the feature selection  
switch and will advance you through the program mode. This switch also allows you  
to skip over a feature and advance to the next feature without programming. Once a  
feature is selected, switches “OUT2” through “IN3” will be used for programming.  
We'll refer to the switches as buttons one through six.  
The last switch on the right, button six or “OUT3” is used to save the program  
selection to memory. IMPORTANT: If OUT3 is flashing in the lower right corner  
of the display, the programmed changes have not been saved.

Setting the two-color printing and internal signal tone  
Time cards can be audited much easier by highlighting in red, punches outside the  
normal work schedule. Using the internal audible signal will remind your employees  
of start and stop times in their work schedule. You can even have a warning signal  
two minutes before start time to alert your employees. This program allows for a  
total combination of 32 scheduled events. Events can be selected to allow a ribbon  
color change or a signal tone or a combination of both. Each event can be  
programmed for the time of day in hours and minutes and the day of week.  
The events available are:  
Clock to print in RED  
Clock to print in RED with SIGNAL  
Clock to print in BLACK  
Clock to print in BLACK with SIGNAL  
Clock to SIGNAL without a color change  
Note: The default ribbon color is black. The clock has to be programmed at a  
specific time to print in red. Once a color change occurs the clock will print in that  
color until an opposite color change is activated.  
The following is a sample schedule of events for a 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM work  
schedule with a one hour lunch period from 12:00 Noon to 1:00 PM (13:00) This  
schedule has the clock printing in RED at 8:01 AM to 12 Noon. Any late in or early  
out punches will print in RED, The clock will print in BLACK during the lunch  
period. Then printing in RED at 1:01 PM (13:01) until 5:00 PM (17:00). At 5:00 PM  
the clock will print in BLACK allowing for exit punches. At 5:30 (17:30) the clock  
will return to RED to note OT punches or late outs. The clock will return to BLACK  
at 07:30 in the morning to allow for IN punches for that day. The internal signal will  
sound at 8:00 AM, 12:00, 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM audibly notifying start and stop  
times. On the chart on the next page, the IN/OUT under each event denotes the event  
selection shown on bottom of the display during the programming of these events.

Setting auto column shift print position  
This feature may not be appropriate for all installations. The auto column shift is a  
special feature for installations where most or all employees arrive and depart at the  
same time. Employees who arrive or depart at different times may be required to  
manually reset the card column position. Failure to do so will result in printing in the  
wrong location on the time card. For ease of operation of the ATR120, caution  
should be used in selecting this feature. If the auto column shift position is manually  
changed, the clock will return to the scheduled auto position after 7 – 8 seconds.  
The auto column shift feature allows for a total of 18 horizontal moves. It is  
recommended that a program chart be used to create a schedule to assist in  
programming this feature.  
A sample program chart is shown below for an 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM shift with lunch  
between 12:00 Noon and 1:00 PM. Employees may punch in after 7:30 AM.  
Employees start lunch at 12:00 PM and must take at least a 15-minute lunch to  
punch in IN2 column. AT 5:00 PM the clock will advance to OUT2. Overtime  
punching is allowed after 5:30 PM. And a minimum of 30 minutes is permitted

When you have finished programming the ATR120, reset the program switch on the  
back of the clock, to the NOR position and press button one once to return to the  
normal mode. The ATR120 will now display the current time and date and is ready  
for operation.  
VI. Installing your ATR120  
The ATR120 can be installed in any normal office environment. It may be installed  
on a smooth, flat surface or wall-mounted. No special wiring is needed. However,  
16  
we recommend installing the ATR120 on a separate power circuit. We do not  
recommend using a power strip. Always follow basic safety precautions when using  
this product to reduce the risk of injury, fire, or electric shock.  
Caution:  
Sꢀ Read and understand all instructions in the ATR120 User's Manual before  
installing and operating this time clock.  
Sꢀ Do not install the ATR120 in areas where it may be exposed to direct sunlight or  
high temperatures, such as near a heater.  
Sꢀ Do not install the ATR120 where it may be exposed to excessive dust or to high  
humidity, resulting in condensation.  
Sꢀ Do not use this product near water or when you are wet. If the product comes in  
contact with any liquids, unplug the electric cord immediately. Do not plug the  
product back in until it has thoroughly dried.  
Sꢀ Securely install the time clock on a stable, level surface, or if wall mounting the  
ATR120, follow the wall mounting instructions to install it securely on the wall.  
Place the time clock where no one can step or trip over the cord. Do not place  
objects on the power cord that can cause damage or abrasion.  
Sꢀ If this product does not operate normally, please consult the “Troubleshooting”  
section of this manual.  
Wall-mounting  
1. Following the diagram, insert a screw about 94cm to 124cm above the floor.  
Allow about 1/8" between the screw head and the wall.  
17  
2. Following the diagram, insert screws at  
positions B and C. Place a screw anchor  
in the wall at position D.  
3. Use the two screws  
(M4X10) to attach  
the wall-mounted  
frame to the bottom  
of the time clock.  
4. Line up the keyholes on the back of the time clock with  
the screws in the wall. Slide the ATR120 downwards to  
firmly mount it on the wall.  
5. Place a screw in the bottom hole of the  
wall-mounting frame to secure it to the  
wall.  
VII. Operating your ATR120  
The Clock will print in the column indicated by the red light above the IN/OUT  
buttons. Press the appropriate IN or OUT button to choose the print position for time  
cards. The print position will not change until another column button is pressed. If  
an auto shift schedule is programmed, then the ATR120 will automatically shift from  
column to column. If manually changed, while in auto shift, the clock will return to  
the programmed position after 7 or 8 seconds.

To print, insert a time card into the receiver with the pay  
period selected, facing you. Note: The clock cannot  
differentiate the pay period and will print on either side  
of the time card. The card is automatically pulled in and  
printed. Do not attempt to pull the card out during the  
printing operation or to insert any objects other than time  
cards. Doing so can result in damage to printer.  
VIII. Maintenance  
Several simple suggestions may extend the life of your ATR120.  
Sꢀ Close the anti-dust cover after operation.  
Sꢀ When the case is dirty, wipe it with a damp soft cloth. If necessary, a mild  
detergent may be used. Do not use any type of thinner or other chemical for  
cleaning because the chemical could damage or discolor the case.  
Replacing the ribbon  
When the printing on the time card becomes light or hard to read it will be necessary  
to replace the ribbon. Use the ATR122 replacement ribbon cassette (part number 39  
0127 000). Attempting to “re-ink” the cassette will cause permanent damage to the  
printer.  
To open the front cover, turn the clock on its back and remove the two outer screws.  
Stand the clock upright with the back facing you. With both thumbs press down on  
IN1 and OUT3 buttons while using your fingers to push cover away.  
19  
Next, remove and discard the pin and  
clip. Remove the ribbon cassette by  
first sliding it left and then upwards as  
shown by the illustration (A & B).  
Place the new ribbon into the ATR120.  
It is not necessary to replace the pin and  
clip. Turn the ribbon feed knob  
counterclockwise until the ribbon is taut.  
Close the front cover.
