Pyramid 4000 Self-Totaling Time Clock (PTR4000) — Discontinued Model
The Pyramid 4000 self-totaling time clock (PTR4000) was designed as a simple, reliable payroll solution for small and mid-sized businesses that wanted automatic time calculations without software or monthly fees. This model is now discontinued, but many businesses continue to operate Pyramid 4000 clocks and need ongoing access to supplies, replacement parts, and upgrade options.
The Pyramid 4000 automatically calculated worked hours between punches and printed totals directly on the employee time card. This reduced payroll math errors and helped speed up weekly or bi-weekly processing. Auto-aligning card feed and electronic time calculation made the system easy for employees to use while keeping records clear and consistent for management review. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Still using a Pyramid 4000?
If your existing unit is still operating, the most common maintenance items are replacement ribbons and time cards. Fresh ribbons ensure totals remain readable, while correct time cards prevent alignment problems and misreads during payroll processing. Many businesses continue using these clocks because of their durability and straightforward operation.

Since the Pyramid 4000 is no longer manufactured, the current replacement is the newer Pyramid 5000 self-totaling time clock. The updated platform continues the same auto-totaling workflow while supporting more employees and modern features such as improved displays and simplified setup.
