Time America’s TA785
Time & Data Terminal can record employee time, monitor productivity, control
access and monitor inventory in a multitude of industries including restaurants,
hospitals, health care facilities, banks, manufacturing, retail, hospitality,
and many others.
The TA785 functions
as a simple to use data collection point for employee information.
It can be linked to a variety of existing computer networks in your
organization to complement the management information systems you already have
in place. By automating your data collection process, you can
eliminate the manpower and mistakes associated with conventional time cards
thereby reducing both payroll costs and errors.
The TA785 guarantees
accurate, reliable input. Employees simply enter information
through the TA785’s keypad, by swiping a magnetic stripe, bar code, or proximity
badge. In addition, the TA785’s Biometric capability supports
multiple types of fingerprint sensors. Employee feedback is provided through
audible accept/reject tones and displayed messages.
Communication
between the TA785 and your computer is accomplished by one of Time America’s
polling and programming utilities or integrated time and attendance systems. The
TA785 automatically transfers data to your computer. In turn, the computer is
used to program the TA785. Each of the TA785’s 8 function keys can be programmed
to ask up to four levels of information. Each piece of
information can be validated and stored in the terminal’s memory until requested
by the host computer. The TA785 can be programmed to prompt employees for data
input, display employee messages, validate job costing entries, restrict
employee punching via a schedule, regulate employee access to restricted areas,
control a bell and much more. The TA785 collects this data
and transfers it to your computer via RS232 serial, RS485 LAN, internal dial-up
modem or Ethernet communications, whether wired or wireless.
The TA785 is
constructed of injection-molded plastic that provides a tough, yet lightweight
and attractive case. The TA785’s internal battery provides full operation if
power is lost.
What kind of data
would you like to collect? Accurate tracking and reporting of employee time is
essential to determining productivity. The TA785 provides an
easy and cost effective means of gathering this type of data.
If the data you’re after can be mag-striped, bar coded, proximity
encoded, entered through a keypad or biometrically identified, the TA785 can
time stamp it, record it, and feed it to your computer, while performing other
tasks at the same time. Put the power of automated data collection to use in
your business!

location and dialed up using standard telephone lines at a speed of 14.4
Baud
Wi-Fi
Wireless Communications: The
TA785’s wireless card allows the 785 to communicate over a standard 802.11b
network. The wireless network
must be configured with an IP address, gateway, subnet, and WEP key (if
available).
P.O.E
(Power over Ethernet): The
TA785’s has the optional capability of drawing it’s power from the Ethernet
communications line (Ethernet line must support POE)t This
eliminates the need for high voltage power at the terminal location.
Biometric
Fingerprint Reader: The
TA785 can store up to 9,000 Fingerprint
templates for biometric verification (1 to 1) or identification (1 to
many). The terminal utilizes a High resolution 500 dpi finger
template.
External
Reader: The
TA785’s has two reader ports to connect external devices such as a Bar Code gun
or an Access Control Swipe Reader that could be mounted outside a
door.
Durable Construction:
The TA785 is
constructed of injection molded plastic, which, pound for pound is stronger than
steel, yet lightweight and attractive. The terminals have a
dome membrane keypads, which create a watertight seal against external elements,
including a spilt cup of coffee. Also comes with an integrated wall-mounting
bracket.
2x16 Character LCD
Backlit Display: The terminal comes
with a highly advanced filtered LCD display. This means that
under almost any lighting condition the terminal will give you a clear
picture. The terminal supports characters such as
<space>.
Battery backed memory:
The terminal contains
a rechargeable back-up battery which provides over 2 hours of full operation
during power failure. A warning indicator light on the
terminals keypad alerts you to loss of line power. In
addition, the TA785 has an internal Lithium battery keeping your data safe even
if the power is out for weeks. The terminal's internal
Lithium battery not only holds the memory, but also keeps the time and calendar
accurate.
Data
Input Validation: The
TA785 terminal eliminates key stroke errors and increases job costing accuracy
by allowing you to download tables of valid entries. When an
employee keys or swipes a number, it is compared to the numbers you downloaded
for validity. The terminal will correspondingly reject and
accept entries, while optionally displaying the particular item
name. Employees may also be restricted from entering
unauthorized departments on an individual basis.
Lockout
Scheduling: Eliminate
unauthorized overtime by scheduling when employees can use the
terminal. With this feature you can; lock out tardiness, out
early birds, and force late arrivals and early departures to notify the
supervisor in order to punch. You can also control punching by time of day, by
day of week and give specific messages to employees as to why they were locked
out. Supervisors may be allowed to override a
lockout. When used with access control you may set up time
schedules for employee access.
Employee
Messaging: After
the employee enters their ID, the terminal can display a 16-character such as
the employee’s name, hours worked, or location to report to.
Messages can be personalized (i.e. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"), giving your data
collection terminal a human touch. In addition, message
tables can be accessed through the terminals function keys.
These message tables can be used to display information such as the
employee’s hours, schedule and benefits balances.
Signal
Control: With
the TA785’s internal relay, the terminal can control a 30 Vdc, 1 A dry-contact
circuit. The signal
control relay can be turned on by both a specific employee badge/number for
access control or by time of day for bell ringing. The
duration time is also programmable.
Strict
Manufacturing Standards: Time America's TA785
data collection terminals have been tested for optimal reliability. A high MTBF
ensures virtually uninterrupted performance. The sealed keypad and the unique
agronomical design reduce maintenance costs. The terminals are certified to CE
and are manufactured to ISO-9001.
