Handpunch

Recognition Systems, Inc. now brings the accuracy and convenience of biometric technology easily within reach of most time and attendance applications. In operations that range from coal mines to clean rooms, RSI systems have proven themselves to be a practical and precise solution. Our terminals are so affordable, it doesn’t make sense to consider any other technology.

Features

Smarter than card-based terminals

There are no cards to create, administer, carry – or lose. The HandPunch 3000 verifies employees’ identities in less than one second, based on the unique size and shape of their hands. The HandPunch 3000 clearly notifies each user of a match using red and green indicator lights. Because no one can punch in or out for your employees, the system reduces time theft and improves payroll accuracy.

Versatile and programmable

Beyond a simple time clock, the HandPunch 3000 provides definable data management keys that allow data collection when employees punch. The readers transmit data to the time and attendance host PC through a variety of methods including direct wiring, modem, and ethernet. The HandPunch 3000 also has the ability to control a door.

Hand Geometry Technology

The HandPunch 3000 uses RSI’s field-proven hand geometry biometric technology. The terminal captures a three-dimensional image of the hand each time the employee punches. The hand’s size and the shape are used to verify their identity with unparalleled accuracy. No fingerprints or palm prints are utilized. Green and red lights notify the employee of the status of each punch. There’s no question any more; employees have to be there to punch.

Programmable Data Management Keys

The HandPunch 3000 has two user-definable data management keys that let you collect data as employees punch. Common uses include department transfers, tips collected, job codes, or pay codes. Multi-level data entry sequences may be defined. You can also set the data management keys to allow employees to review their past punches. To reduce keystrokes, the keys can also be set to automatically enter data such as a frequently used department number or in/out status.

Communication Options

Whether your application calls for one terminal or thousands, the HandPunch 3000 can meet the need. Multiple terminals can be networked together at a site via RS-485 wiring. An optional Ethernet communications module or dial up modem are also available. Both options are internal to the terminal making installation fast and simple.

Edit-at-the-Clock Functions

The HandPunch 3000 allows supervisors to override user restrictions and to input such items as missed punches, planned vacations, and sick time at the terminal. The password-protected mode provides greater supervisor flexibility by lessening the need for computer edits. Audit trails documenting the use of these functions are generated to ensure security.

Door Control

The HandPunch 3000 provides the capability to unlock and monitor a door. Global time zones may be used to restrict employee access.

HandReader Enclosures

Recognition Systems provides a full line of enclosures to protect your HandReader from the elements. Three different, proven solutions are available to ensure your HandReader performs and keeps performing regardless of your environment.

Blizzard

Ideally suited for the coldest climates and industrial environments, the Blizzard enclosure is constructed of heavy-gauge zinc-coated steel and features a weather-sealed keypad, low-temperature display and heated interior. Even though it protects from incident rain and weather, the unit should be mounted under an enclosure or awning. The Blizzard enclosure is a fully integrated unit and comes complete with HandReader and internal heater.
Hurricane

A little rain never hurt anyone, and a lot of rain won’t hurt the Hurricane enclosure. Constructed from high-impact ABS plastic, the unit is designed for direct weather. A generous lid offers protection from driving rain, and the contoured design facilitates water runoff. The Hurricane has been designed so it can be added to an existing installation. When used with a heater-equipped HandReader (INT-HTR option), it provides the ultimate solution for cold weather, direct exposure environments.>
Tsunami

For the harshest environments, the Tsunami enclosure is water sealed and built to NEMA type 4 standards. The HandReader is protected from both splashing and hose-directed water, making it an ideal solution for industrial and food processing areas where hose-directed water is used for cleaning. In addition, when used with a heater-equipped HandReader (INT-HTR option), the Tsunami enclosure can withstand the bleakest of environments.
