Getting Started
Definitions
Event: A pre-programmed action, such as ringing of bells, at a specific time, which is triggered by
a relay closure in one or more of the zones of the master clock
Schedule: A series of programmed events. One schedule can include enough events to cover a com-
plete school day.
Zone: Each zone is controlled by a relay closure, to which devices such as bells or fire alarms can
be connected. The master clock has four zones as a standard, with up to twelve optional.
User programming features
All user programming is to be done by using the 16-button keypad located on the front of the Sapling master
clock. The keypad is shown below:
The LCD display is 20 characters wide and consists of both a top and a bottom line. When the master is
powered on, the LCD display should read:
Entering the Password
To enter the user-programming mode you will need to use the 4-digit User Password provided on page one of
this manual. (The user password will be programmed prior to installation by the contracting company techni-
cian who is supplying the clock system.) Press the four digits of the password on the keypad. There is no
need to press the <YES/ENTER> key after entering the password. You will automatically be brought to the
next step upon entering the password. Please note: your password will be hidden as you enter it. The * sign
will appear instead of digits.
To Exit the Programming Mode
If at any time during programming, you wish to exit programming mode, press the <YES/ENTER> key or
the <NO/CLEAR> key, as appropriate, in response to the prompts on the LCD display. After scrolling
through all the options and responding to all applicable prompts the LCD display will then return to the main
screen.

There are two advanced programming options, they are "Clock System On/Off" and "Send Numeric Message".
“Clock System On (Off)?” - This allows the customer to control the power sent to the clock systems. This func-
tion would be used to turn off the power if you wanted to perform maintenance on the slave clocks without turn-
ing off the entire system.
“Send Numeric Message?” - Only for use with a digital clock system. When used with Sapling SBD series digi-
tal clocks, the master can send numeric messages to individual clocks, or groups of clocks, which have been as-
signed individual “addresses” by the technician prior to installation. If you wish to “silently page” someone by
flashing a code onto a specific digital clock location, this function allows you to send such a message.
Advanced Options

Technician Addresses
Customer Password
Address 000: This address allows the customer password to be modified. The default value
is 1111. This password can be any four (4) characters.
Clock System Selection
Address 004: This address controls Clock System #1 (000 is off, default value is 006)
Address 005: This address controls Clock System #2 (000 is off, default value is 001)
Clock System On/Off
Address 006: This address controls the Clock Systems (000 is off, default value is 001, 002
allows the user to manually control the power sent to the clock systems)
Send Numeric Message
Address 007: This address enables/disables the numeric messaging function. This function
can only be used when running a digital clock system (except the BCBL 1000 series). Nu-
meric messaging allows the customer to send a numeric message to individual clocks, or to a
group of clocks in the system, or to all the clocks. To allow for numeric messaging, enter
“001” to enable this feature. “000” turns this feature off. (default value is 000)
Send Bell Message
Address 008 - 019: This address enables/disables the Bell message function. This function
can only be used when running a digital clock system (BCBD 1000, BCBZ Zone, or BCBD
2000 series). It sends a message to the digital clocks whenever the relay closes to display the
word “BELL” on the digital clock screen whenever a bell rings. This function is helpful
when dealing with a hearing-impaired community. You can program the master clock to
send the Bell message to individual clock zones by entering the programmed zone into each
address. There are four relays that come standard with each master clock, with an additional
eight as options. Addresses 008 through 019 turn on or off this option for each relay/zone in
the master clock. Enter “001” to send a bell message to each zone (default value is 255 and
will disable this function).
Duration Settings For Zones
Address 020 - 066: These addresses allow the user to set the desired duration of the relay
closure from 1 - 3600 seconds. Addresses 020 - 034 control the standard four (4) zones. Ad-
dresses 036 - 066 control the option eight relays that are available. For example, Address
020 is Duration 1 for Zone 1 (default value is 3). Address 022 is Duration 2 for Zone 1
(default value is 5). Address 024 is Duration 1 for Zone 2. Address 026 is Duration 2 for
Zone 2, etc.
