Ribbon Life
The ATR242 ribbon (39-0135-000) will typically last 3
months with 50 employees punching 6 times per day
(~18,000 punches). Actual ribbon life will vary based on
the number of punches, humidity, temperature, exposure to
air.
Operational Battery Pack
The optional operational battery pack (58-0114-000) is a 12
cell NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery pack that
recharges when the ATR240 is plugged in. In the event of
a power failure the clock will instantly switch to battery
power without any interruption in service. The operational
battery pack allows for full operation of the clock. The LCD
backlight is not activated when the clock is running on
battery power as a power saving feature, however the LCD
display is plainly visible in a lighted room.
