Waterproof Clocking for Demanding Workplaces
Our Waterproof Clocking Terminals are environmentally sealed with a NEMA 4X rated enclosure and IP65 certification. Designed specifically for food production areas the IP65 rated device is splash proof and waterproof. Meaning you can spray them down at the end of the shift to sanitize the unit and the area.

The proximity card keyfob easily attaches to a key ring, badge clip or lanyard. Built to withstand harsh operating environments or handling.
Ideally suited for use in time and attendance / access control applications
- Small enough to fit on a key ring.
- Visible in food scanners and other foreign body detection technology
- Robust, simple to use, non intrusive.
- Lifetime warranty.
Reliability Rules
Successful biometric installation and use typically requires:
Management Support.
Training of Supervisors and Employees.
Satisfactory Environmental Conditions.
Even if all these requirements are met it’s important to note:
Not all users can be enrolled.
Devices are susceptible to vandalism.
Environmental conditions can affect operation.
Chronicle uses reliable fingerscan technologies with simple rules:
Terminals within a facility are installed correctly.
Enrolment procedure is closely followed.
The sensor is maintained on a scheduled basis.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Maximus Severe Duty is a ruggedised time and attendance terminal designed for harsh, severe and exposed working environments.
It is suitable for organisations that need a more durable clocking terminal for locations such as factories, warehouses, yards, workshops and industrial environments. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
The unit is designed to be weatherproof and is housed within an environmentally sealed enclosure.
It is IP65 certified, water tight and dust tight, and also has a NEMA 4X rated enclosure, making it suitable for demanding environments where a standard indoor terminal may not be appropriate. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
IP65 means the enclosure is protected against dust ingress and against water jets.
This makes the Maximus suitable for exposed or demanding environments, although installation requirements and the surrounding environment should still be considered when positioning the terminal.
The terminal is designed for harsh and severe environments and has a weatherproof, environmentally sealed enclosure.
For exposed outdoor installations, Chronicle would still recommend assessing the exact location, power, network connectivity and level of direct exposure before installation. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
Yes. The Maximus Severe Duty is described as both water tight and dust tight, making it particularly suitable for industrial environments where dust or debris may be present. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
The terminal is specified to operate between approximately -10°C and +50°C.
Its specified storage temperature range is -20°C to +80°C. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
Employees can use a personal PIN code using the terminal’s tactile keypad.
The terminal can also be configured with a contactless proximity card reader, allowing employees to clock using a compatible card or fob. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
Yes.
The Maximus Severe Duty can support contactless smartcard readers, including technologies such as HID Prox, MIFARE and iClass, depending on the chosen configuration. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
Yes.
The terminal includes a 20-key tactile keypad with numeric keys and can be used with individual employee PIN codes. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
Yes.
The terminal can be configured to support PIN-based clocking and can also be enhanced with a contactless proximity reader, providing flexibility over how employees record their attendance. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
No.
The Maximus Severe Duty uses a 3.5-inch non-touch colour display together with a tactile keypad and programmable function keys. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
Yes.
The terminal includes eight programmable function keys which can be configured for different attendance functions depending on the Chronicle implementation. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
For example, these may be used for functions such as:
- Clock In
- Clock Out
- Start Break
- End Break
- Department or job selection
The exact options depend on the customer’s Chronicle configuration.
The terminal supports standard 10/100 Ethernet with both DHCP and static IP configuration.
Wi-Fi connectivity is also listed as an available accessory/configuration, supporting 2.4 GHz networks and WPA2. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle… ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
Yes.
The Maximus supports an optional IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) configuration. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
This can simplify installations by allowing power and network connectivity to be provided through the Ethernet infrastructure where suitable.
When an employee clocks in or out, the transaction is passed into Chronicle Online and forms part of the employee’s time and attendance record.
The clockings can then be used for timesheets, working patterns, exceptions, absence management and payroll processing.
Yes.
Organisations can install Maximus Severe Duty terminals at different sites while managing employee attendance centrally through Chronicle Online.
Yes.
Employees can use multiple authorised terminals where required, subject to the customer’s Chronicle configuration.
Yes.
The Maximus Severe Duty is particularly suited to factory and manufacturing environments because of its ruggedised, weatherproof and dust-resistant construction.
Yes.
Warehouses, distribution centres and logistics operations are typical environments where a ruggedised terminal may be preferable to a standard office-style clocking device.
Potentially, yes.
Its IP65 certification, sealed enclosure and operating temperature range make it suitable for many industrial and demanding environments. The precise installation location should still be assessed to make sure the terminal is appropriate for the conditions.
The terminal is IP65 certified and designed to resist water and dust ingress. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
However, IP65 does not mean the unit should be submerged or subjected to unrestricted high-pressure cleaning. The installation position and cleaning procedures should therefore be considered before deployment.
The enclosure carries a NEMA 4X rating, which provides a high level of environmental protection and is typically associated with protection against water, dust and corrosion in demanding installations. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
The specified operating temperature is down to -10°C. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
For environments below this temperature, Chronicle should review the installation requirements before recommending the terminal.
The terminal measures approximately 26.4 cm × 23.4 cm × 8.6 cm, so despite its ruggedised construction it remains relatively compact. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
The terminal supports DIDO functionality and can also support external Wiegand-compatible readers depending on the configuration. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle… ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
Yes.
A customer can use Maximus Severe Duty terminals in harsher areas while using other Chronicle terminals in offices, reception areas or less demanding environments.
All authorised clockings can feed into the same Chronicle Online system.
The Maximus is designed for environments where a conventional indoor terminal may not provide sufficient protection.
Its main advantages include:
- IP65 certification
- NEMA 4X rated enclosure
- Water-tight construction
- Dust-tight construction
- Environmentally sealed housing
- Operating range from -10°C to +50°C
- PIN clocking
- Optional proximity card clocking
- Eight programmable function keys
- Ethernet connectivity
- Optional PoE
- Optional Wi-Fi
- Compact, ruggedised design
These features make it particularly appropriate for manufacturing, logistics, warehousing and other industrial environments. ATSMaximus-SevereDuty-Chronicle…
Yes.
Chronicle can review the proposed installation environment, employee numbers, clocking method, network availability and environmental conditions to determine whether a Maximus Severe Duty terminal or another Chronicle terminal is the most appropriate option.
