| FlexClock - Z23/33 and Z24/34 Clocks Battery Life in the Event of an Outage | ||||||

| Question | |
| ||||
| How long will punches be stored on a Z23/33 or Z24/34 clock if the power goes out? | ||||||
| Answer | ||||||
| The Z23/33 and Z24/34 use flash memory to store punches, instead of battery backed memory. With flash memory electricity is not required to retain (punch) data. These clocks do have a battery to keep the clocks internal time correct while the power is off. Which can be expected to last for years. If having the clock operate in the event of an outage meaning being able to still create punches (as opposed to just storage as earlier stated) is a requirement then this is not possible. If that is what's being sought, buying a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) from any computer store may be what you would need. A UPS unit is usually meant for a computer in the event of an outage and could last up to 5 to 15 minutes. Usually long enough for someone to save their data and shut down the computer. But because our clocks consume very little electricity a UPS meant for a computer could last hours (possibly all day or more) if a clock is the only thing it is powering.
