Where to install the punch?

In order for the punch to work, you must have an electrical outlet and wired internet access installed at the desired location. It should be noted that connecting the punch to a WIFI network is strongly discouraged due to frequent interruptions or variations in the signal with this type of connection.

We suggest doing this near the manager's office, not in the staff room.

It is important to plan the strategic location where to install the tactile punch according to the following criteria:

1. Location configuration
   
2. Staff movement (entry and exit)
   
3. Availability of electric current (110v socket) and network cable (Ethernet)
   

The positioning of the punch and grips

The heights shown are suggestions only, the heights can be adapted to your liking depending on the height of your employees.

1. First, decide how high you are going to install the punch: we suggest positioning your anchor screw for the punch at 63" from the ground. This should match the average eye height of your employees. Be careful, depending on the average size of your employees, this may vary. We advise you to do several tests.
