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.

Voltage: DC 14.4v
Capacity: 1800mA
Standby mode: 30-36hr reserve power

Note: Actual battery life depends on many factors such as battery age, temperature,
