Chapter 1 Before You Install the InTouch
14
Review the following sections to determine how you will use that template to
install the Standard or Slim Profile model InTouch at your site.
Location
• The InTouch is designed for mounting on walls in typical office and indoor
manufacturing environments. Recommended wall surfaces are drywall
(sheetrock) and wood.
• Install the InTouch in an area where the screen is not exposed to direct
sunlight or other high-intensity lighting that could make the screen difficult to
read.
• Ensure that the location for the InTouch falls within the following temperature
and humidity ranges:
– Temperature ranges:
Operating: 0–40 degrees Celsius (32–104 degrees Fahrenheit)
Storage: -20–+70 degrees Celsius (-4–+158 degrees Fahrenheit)
– Humidity range (operating and storage): 10%–95% non-condensing
• InTouch timeclocks are designed for office and manufacturing environments.
In rare cases, user sites might contain agents that are corrosive in nature and
which could corrode the electronics assemblies in these devices. In the event
of this situation, users must move the devices to a suitable environment.
Access
• New location—To provide optimal access to the InTouch for the widest range
of users and to ensure ADA compliance of the 48 inch height specification
(1219 millimeters), Kronos recommends that the top two mounting screws be
no higher than 46 1/2 inches (1181 millimeters) above the floor.
• Existing location—If you are replacing an existing Kronos Series 4000
device, you can use the same location but you must drill new screw holes. See
Appendix A, “Replace a Series 4000 Device with the InTouch,” on page 95
for complete information.
