Duplicate Punch Period - C400

If an employee clocks twice within the same 1 minute period (eg 10: 30:01  and 10:30:59) the second clocking will be ignored by the Clockrite software

However if the employee clocks twice in just over a 1 minute period (eg 10: 30:01  and 10:31:01) the second clocking in this case will be accepted by the software.

This, however can be modified.

Before you change the settings in the device, you first need to consider how long you want the duplicate punch period to be (eg 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes etc) before another clocking is accepted.

Once you know that, you can then go to the clocking terminal and change the setting.

You will need to at the clocking terminal with the Admin card

Press the M/OK or M/<  button so that the padlock symbol displays

Swipe the Admin Card and you will now see the menu screens

Select the System Icon

Then select the next Attendance icon

Select the "Duplicate Punch Period (m) option

Select the figure you decided upon earlier (1 2, 5 mins etc) or select User Defined.

Press OK.  The menu option will now show the duplicate punch period you have selected.

Press the ESC key 3 times to exit the menus.

When an employee now clocks within the designated duplicate punch period the clock will now have the audible message of "Punch Accepted".  This simply means that the system has recorded the clock, but the software will ignore it.
