About Timekeeper
Timekeeper is a time and attendance system that satisfy all job tracking requirements
about your employees. Employees are issued a badge card that has a bar code label which is
used to activate Intermec 9560
Transaction Manager terminal. Vital information such as date, time, type of entry
(come in, regularly exit, service exit, private exit, break, sick leave exit, etc), and
employee badge number will be instantly and permanently recorded into database. These
"smart" terminals have programmable keys so any additional information that is
important to your timekeeping can be captured. All this time and attendance information is
transmitted from the terminals to your PC via robust RS-485 Multi-Drop network that is
controlled by Intermec 9154 line
controller and PC.
Each entry is checked and promted instantly
Terminals are on-line connected to PC that allows instantly checking an entry for
errors, as well as second consecutive come in entry, second consecutive exit entry, break
exit not allowed, etc. Corresponding message is displayed on Intermec 9560 Transaction Manager's
40x2 character display with appropriate sound effect for correct or non-correct entry, so
an employee do not need to look at terminal display.
There are two versions of Timekeeper system
If your company has one data entry point, you need economic Timekeeper single system
with only one Intermec 9560
Transaction Manager terminal. This terminal is connected to PC by standard RS-232
serial port that allows total distance up to 15 meters (50 feet). For large companies with
two or more data entry points there is Timekeeper multi system with 4-wire RS-485
Multi-Drop network that allows up to 32 terminals with total distance up to 610 meters
(2000 feet). This network consists of up to 32 Intermec 9560 Transaction Manager
terminals, 9514 Line Controller
and PC.
