Card & swipe time clocks — supported by Reset
Magnetic stripe, barcode and proximity terminals, and the older facial units that came in alongside them. If it reads a card and it is on an Australian wall, there is a good chance we can keep it running.
- Software support, polling and configuration help while the terminals keep running
- Best-effort hardware assistance — but manufacturer parts are no longer available
- Licence and configuration recovery on inherited systems
- A planned replacement, with your employees and history migrated across
What sits under this page
The models below are on the Reset Care coverage list. Three of them have pages of their own; the rest are covered here.
| Model | What it is | Where to go |
|---|---|---|
| TA600 | Simple swipe terminal — in and out | TA600 support |
| TA715 | Swipe terminal with function keys | TA715 support |
| TA785 | Card and proximity terminal with optional fingerprint | TA785 support |
| Other card terminals | Older magnetic stripe, barcode and proximity units, including terminals originally supplied by others | Covered on this page |
Reset's earlier face clocks — the 805, 810 and 920 — are not part of this range, despite the model numbering. They belong to the facial recognition lineage: see SY940.
What we still do
- Keep the software side healthy — polling, pay rules and payroll exports
- Supply replacement cards and badges while the terminals are still running
- Move a site off serial or dial-up polling onto the network
- Take over support for terminals whose original supplier has gone
- Plan the move to a current terminal, in stages, and migrate employees and history
When cards stop being worth it
A card system has a running cost most workplaces never add up: replacement cards, the admin around issuing them, and the fact that a card can be handed to someone else in the car park. When customers move off swipe terminals it is usually those three things together rather than a hardware failure. One multi-site print customer upgraded every site off older swipe clocks for exactly that reason.
That said — a working card terminal owes you nothing. We will tell you when the maths changes, not before.
The range read the common card technologies of the era — magnetic stripe, barcode, proximity and Mifare. The modern replacements read the current equivalents, so an existing card population can often carry over. Manufacturer parts for these terminals are no longer available, so a failed unit is a replacement rather than a repair.
