INTRODUCTION  
About Your Atomic Clock  
In addition to a regular quartz time clock, the Model 7500E  
contains an antenna and a microchip. The antenna receives the  
official time signal from the U.S. Government's National Institute  
of Standards and Technology and the microchip translates the  
time signal and adjusts the time display to the correct time. The  
Model 7500E receives a 60-kilohertz, low frequency AM radio  
signal from the WWVB radio station maintained by the National  
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The NIST, using  
its atomic clock, is the official timekeeper for the U.S. and is  
located in Boulder, Colorado. The Model 7500E will work  
anywhere it can receive the WWVB signal from the NIST. This  
signal is broadcast to reach across the continental U.S. and into  
parts of Canada and Mexico. To learn more about the NIST time  
correction technology used in the Model 7500E, you can visit:

Setting the Mode  
This time recorder can operate in one of two modes; Payroll Mode or Job Cost Mode.  
In Payroll Mode and Job Cost Mode, the recorder prints total elapsed time between  
IN(Start) and OUT(Stop), and also prints a running total of accumulated time per time card  
on each line. The clock matches pairs of punches and calculates the elapsed time between  
that pair using predefined rounding rules. The recorder always prints the actual time on the  
time card, regardless of rounding rules. In Payroll Mode the hours accumulate and reset  
based on "pay period settings" that are configured during setup. In Job Cost Mode the  
hours for each unique card can accumulate and reset based on "manual card reset"  
("cleared") by performing a manual operation on the time recorder.

Setting the Rounding  
For Rounding, there are two options: Hourly Rounding and Punch Time Rounding.  
Using Hourly Rounding, the recorder calculates the hours from time IN punch and time OUT  
punch, and rounds that result with the "Rounding Unit". The fractions that occur after rounding  
will be omitted by breakpoint.  
Using Punch Time Rounding, the recorder rounds both the time IN punch and the time OUT  
punch, and then it calculates the hours from the time IN punch and the time OUT punch. When  
rounding the time IN punch, it will raise the fractions that occur and, for the rounding of the  
time OUT punch, it will omit the fractions by breakpoint.  
Special Note Regarding "Punch Rounding"  
When calculating employee hours, it is a common business practice to round to the nearest  
quarter or tenth of an hour. The 7500E supports both punch and totals rounding. However, it  
is important that you understand how punch rounding works before setting the 7500E.  
Rounding only affects calculations, and actual punch times are always printed on the time  
card.  
First you must determine the proper rounding unit. If you want to round to the tenth of an  
hour, then the interval is 6 minutes. If you want to round punches to the quarter hour, then  
the interval is 15 minutes.  
The following Rounding Units are available within the 7500E:  
1. None (exact minute)  
2. 6 minutes with a 3 minute breakpoint (tenth of an hour)  
3. 15 minutes with a 3 minute breakpoint (quarter hour)  
4. 15 minutes with a 7 minute breakpoint (quarter hour)  
The following is an example of 15 minute rounding with a 7 minute breakpoint.

Setting the Auto Break Deduction  
The 7500E will deduct the break amount after totaling the hours and if the total hours are  
equal to or greater than the "Elapsed Time" setting.  
Break times can be automatically deducted from totals using the "Auto Break Deduction"  
feature. You must set a base working elapsed time and break duration. Once total working  
hours reaches to Elapsed Time, Break Duration will be deducted from the total working hours.  
Example: Auto Break Deduction setting  
Elapsed time ··· 8 hours Break duration ··· 60 min.  
Elapsed time = 8 hours

"B" is to indicate that Auto Break Deduction is valid.  
For example, if you have a 30 minute lunch break that you want to deduct and the lunch break  
starts 4 hours into work day, set elapsed time to 4:30 and set Break duration to 30. Thus, 30  
minutes would be deducted from any punch made 4 hours, 30 minutes in the work period.

Setting the Max In  
In order to properly identify missed punches, the recorder has Max In Value that is used to pair  
punches for calculations. If the next punch following an IN punch exceeds the Max In Value  
(i.e., 13 hrs.), then it assumed that the employee forgot to punch OUT, and that punch is  
actually printed as the next IN punch. The employee can override this and force the recorder  
to make OUT punch by pressing the OUT button before inserting the time card. For this  
override OUT punch to work, the Button Function must be enabled. (See "Setting the Button  
Function".)  
If the "Max In Override" is set to 'No', then the clock will not assume that a punch was missed,  
and the clock will calculate as punched.  
Example: Max In Override ----- No  
Max In Value ----- 17 hours

4. OPERATIONS & FUNCTIONS  
Once the AC line cord is plugged into the outlet, the recorder can be used immediately. The  
current time (EST) and date are preset. The time card is automatically pulled in, printed, and  
then ejected.  
Do not let any metallic object get into the slot including paper clips. Do not  
forcefully push in a card, either. These may cause the unit to malfunction.  
A maximum of 100 cards can be automatically registered.  
When a new card is inserted, the card will automatically be registered, and will print the  
"IN" print on the first line. The month will be printed on the first line and also on the line  
when the month and printing line change.  
You can print "IN" and "OUT" as many times as you want per day. The printing line, will  
slide one line down each time you insert the card for "IN" print.  
When the card that you are using becomes full, the clock will show "End" on the display.  
When the "End" appears, you can use the "Card reassign" mode to transfer the card and  
have a new card take over from the old one.  
Refer to "Card reassign" on page 37.  
When you want to reset the card (clear the accumulated totals) manually, you can use the  
"Card reset" mode to reset a single card or use the "All cards reset " mode to reset all the  
cards in memory. It is not necessary to routinely reset cards manually, since the clock does  
this automatically each pay period (unless using Job Cost Mode ).  
Refer to "Card reset" on page 39 and "All cards reset" on page 38.

RADIO SIGNAL RECEPTION  
About Radio Signal Reception  
The Model 7500E is programmed to see the WWVB radio signal everyday.  
Initially the time recorder will search for a signal immediately after you set the  
time zone. Once the clock has initially set, it will search for the signal every  
few hours per day to maintain accuracy. The WWVB signal is the strongest  
early in the morning, when there is the least amount of interference from other  
sources.  
There are some environments and weather conditions that may influence the  
reception of the AM radio signal. Just as with an AM radio, the Model 7500E  
can be positioned for optimal reception. For instance, it is best to position the  
clock away from metal studs and toward the direction of the tower in  
Colorado. Since this time recorder contains a highly accurate quartz timer, it  
will function with a very high level of accuracy between signal receptions.  
The Model 7500E will operate as a normal electronic time recorder without  
having to receive the signal. Since it also operates as a highly accurate  
(+/- 15 seconds per month) quartz time clock, it will function properly while  
outside the reception area or if it can not receive the WWVB signal.  
Verifying the Time  
The best way to verify the correct time is to call the NIST at (303) 499-7111  
(long distance charges may apply). Any other sources, including the time  
number in your local phone book, the Internet, cell phones, and Cable TV  
receivers may be off by several seconds.

Card reassign  
When the card that you are using becomes full (Max 64 punches), it will show "End" on the  
display and the buzzer will sound. When the "End" appears, you can use the "Card reassign"  
mode to transfer the card and have a new card take over from the old one.  
In this function, it will be useful:  
• when the card has become full before reaching the "Pay Period". [In Payroll Mode]  
• when the card that is lost or damaged.  
You can transfer the old card to a new one with the same number or the one which is not  
used in the current pay period. If you are already using all time cards from No. 1 to 100,  
you can transfer the card only to the new one with the same card number. If you prefer to  
use another time card with a different number, you must reset the corresponding card first.

1. Wait for the early morning hours to pass.  
2. Re-locate in area that is away from metal studs  
or close to western facing window.  
Note: There are some environments and weather conditions that may influence the reception of the atomic  
clock radio signal. Since it also operates as a highly-accurate (+/- 15 seconds per month) quartz  
time clock, the 7500E will function properly while outside the reception area or if it can not receive  
the WWVB signal.

Do not share a single outlet with another plug. These may lead to fire or shock hazards.  
Do not damage, break, or modify the power cord. Do not put a heavy object on, pull, or  
forcefully bend the cord, either. These may damage the cord, possibly resulting in a fire or  
electric shock.  
If foreign matter should get in the unit (including a piece of metal, water, or liquid), disconnect  
the plug from the outlet immediately and contact your dealer for servicing. There is a danger  
that further use may cause a fire or electric shock.
