NFC-Time Clean - a wireless working time terminal - answers to frequently asked
questions:
BASIC PLUS
What does the device do?
- The device reads NFC tag and sends stamping data over a cellular network system to a software application
How do you use the device?
- Place the NFC tag next to the left-hand side of the device and press the key or keys
- You can get a stamping data report from the software application through a web browser
How do you start to use the device?
- The device has a mobile phone SIM card in it and the device is programmed to communicate with the desired software application,
the programming is made prior to the customer delivery in a few text messages
- If the device does not have a SIM card in place, use a mobile phone to remove the PIN code request prior to installation,
the device recognizes the Finnish SIMs
- In the installation area the device is attached to the wall in a vertical position and the charger is connected to an electrical
outlet, the device is ready for use in a few minutes, when the green traffic light is on continuously
What do the device indicator lights and sounds mean?
- The green light in the middle of the logo is normally on when the charger is connected to an electrical outlet, the flashing light
means that the unit does not get any operating voltage (the charger is disconnected or there is a power failure) and operates on
the back-up battery
- When the green traffic light is on, the device is ready to read a tag
- The yellow light is lit after the tag has been read to indicate a waiting time for pressing the key (the device waits about 10 seconds)
- When the red light is on, the device is temporarily not available (battery empty or the device is starting)
- The device "beeps and growls" to indicate that a tag has been read or that a key has been pressed
When does the device send the data to the software application?
- The device sends the data after 30 seconds from the stamping (stamping = the tag is read and the key is pressed)
- If you only press the key or place the tag next to the device without pressing the key, the information will not be sent
- If the device cannot establish a connection to the application server over the mobile network, it saves the data and sends them
when the connection is restored
How do I know whether the device is connected to a cellular network, or if the field strength is sufficient?
- The transmission will take place in the background, and it does not appear to the user
- If you show the tag to the device, but do not press the key, the device "growls" the mobile phone network signal strength (1 ... 5
growls)
What should be considered at the installation?
- Mount device on the wall vertically to an appropriate height (1 - 1.5m) and fasten it with screws under the side lid on the cover
- Check the field strength (show the tag without pressing a key, the target strength is between 2 and 5) and test the operation
Special features:
- The device software and operating settings can be updated over a remote connection and the device sends its status data
(voltage, temperature, the amount of data transferred, etc.) to the server daily or at request, and you can request the device to re-
send the latest stamps
- If a fault occurs, the device can be reset in two ways; neither of them deletes the collected stamps:
o The device can be quick reset by pressing the IN, OUT, A and F keys (a device with a display: IN, OUT, 1 and RED),
the device is up and running in a minute or two, usually, the time is updated at the same time
o The device can be switched off by removing the charger from the wall outlet and by pressing the IN, OUT, A, E and F
keys at the same time (a device with a display: IN, OUT, 1, 2, and RED), the device is switched oon by connecting the
charger to an electrical outlet
- The device operates on battery power for about four hours and, after it has switched itself off, it returns to operation after the
electricity supply is restored
- The device must be switched off before boarding an air plane and elsewhere, where mobile phone use is prohibited and,
when posting the device, the package card must be marked "NOT VIA AIR MAIL"
- When this wireless communicator is installed and used, the radiating element at the right side of the unit must be at a
minimum distance of 20cm (8 inch) from the users body !
