How to Troubleshoot an Amano MJR-8000
The Amano MJR-8000 is a computerized time recorder for commercial use designed to monitor employee hours for up to 250 people. The unit can accommodate two overtime categories, break and lunch times, flexible rounding, and a power reserve. The MJR-8000 weighs less than 18 lbs. and can fit in relatively compact places. Sold with a limited warranty, most minor problems and error codes can likely be resolved through basic troubleshooting. If the problem persists, contact Amano for assistance.
-
Plug the Amano into a power outlet if nothing on the machine operates. Replace or reset the fuse or circuit breaker as necessary.
-
Take the time card out and turn it over if the error code "0-01" appears. Reinsert the time card face up.
-
Insert a time card that doesn't already have an assigned number if the error code "0-08" appears. If the employee has already been assigned a time card number, verify the correct time card is inserted.
-
Use the "Lock Out Release" card if the error "0-12" appears. This indicates that a time card was inserted during a lock-out period as determined by the administrator.
-
Check the user access code and re-enter if "1-20" appears. Ensure the correct employee master file number is used. Use a valid overtime limit for the time card between "00:00 and 60:00."
-
Re-enter the password if the error "2-01" appears.
-
Enter in a different department number if the error "2-11" appears, indicating that department number is already in use.
-
Turn the key switch to "Function" and press "CL" if the error "8-85x" or "8-88x" appears. Re-enter the data.
-
Check the clock and reset if necessary if the error code "9-50x" appears, indicating that the clock time is incorrect.
