Important Safety Instructions

DANGER
SHOCK HAZARD
• Keep the electricity to this device turned
OFF until the clock installation
is complete.
• Do not expose the clock movement to
water, or install the clock in a location
where it may be exposed to water.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
• Always follow your national and regional
electrical codes or ordinances.
• The AC power circuit for the clock must
be attached to a circuit breaker that can
be reset by the user.
PHYSICAL INJURY HAZARD
• If you are standing on an object while
installing your clock, make sure that the
object can support your weight, and will
not sway or move as you stand on it.
• Take precautions to avoid injury by
potential safety hazards near the point
of installation including (but not limited
to) heavy machinery, sharp objects, hot
surfaces, or exposed cables carrying an
electric current.
• Follow all mounting instructions exactly
as stated in this manual. Failure to do so
may result in the device falling off the
point of installation.
• Packaging materials and mounting items
include plastic bags and small pieces,
which pose a suffocation hazard to
young children.
NOTICE
• Do not install the clock outdoors.
Damage to the clock if placed outdoors
voids the warranty.
• Do not hang objects from the clock or
clock mounting parts. The clocks are not
designed to support the weight of other
objects.
• The clock face and housing may
be cleaned with a damp cloth or
disinfectant. Test other cleaning products
on a small part of the clock housing
before attempting to use on the rest of
the clock. Avoid bleach and chemicals
known to dissolve plastics.

Identify Your Clock
A label containing the part number of your clock is attached to the
clock movement.
If your part number begins with SAP-1, you own a METAL clock
If your part number begins with SAP-4, you own a SLIMLINE or SQUARE clock
If your part number begins with SAP-5 you own an ALUMINUM clock
If your part number begins with SAP-6 you own a WOOD clock
Example part numbers:
SAP-1BS-16R-1 (METAL clock)
SAP-4BS-12S-4 (SQUARE clock)
SAP-4BS-12R-4 (SLIMLINE clock)
SAP-5AS-09R-1 (ALUMINUM clock)
SAP-6DS-12R-2 (WOOD clock)

To be able to set up an IP-based synchronized clock network, you will need the
following items:
• This manual
• A Local Area Network (LAN) that either has access to at least one of the following:
• An in-house NTP server
• The Internet
• A firewall that is open on Ports 80, 123, and 1777
• At least one laptop or desktop computer with access to this LAN and a web browser.
• A router for the LAN that operates on the subnet 192.168.0.##.
• A copy of the Monitor.exe program.
• Security access to all of the above items.
• A crossover cable and PoE injector for programming the clocks.
• A means of keeping a record of the clock serial numbers, locations, and IP addresses.
Create a table like the one shown below:

Preparing to Install - Power over Ethernet (PoE)
PoE Power Classification
Power-over Ethernet Devices report the particular
“Power Class” back to the power source, which
is useful for system-wide power management or
monitoring purposes.
Sapling’s IP Analog Clocks are highly efficient
products and consume only 2.5 watts of power
during normal operation.
This power level corresponds to the IEEE802.3af
designation of “Class 1”, which is a power usage
range of 0.44 to 3.84 watts.
Connecting when using a PoE Switch
1) Plug in the PoE switch to a power outlet.
2) Using a CAT5 or CAT6 patch cable, connect one
end to the switch/router on the network, and the
other end to the IP clock.
Connecting when using a PoE Injector
1) Plug in the power injector to a power outlet.
2) Using a CAT5 or CAT6 patch cable, connect one end to the a switch/router on the network, and the
other end to the IN port on the injector.
3) Using another CAT5 or CAT6 patch cable, connect one end to the OUT port on the injector, and the
other end to the port on the right side of the clock movement.
4) If using a multi-output power injector, continue to power the other IP clocks by repeating step 3.
Recommended PoE Injector Specification
48VDC @ 320mA

Preparing to Install - IP Monitor Software
1) Create a folder on your computer called IP Monitor
2) If you have the IP Monitor on a CD:
a) Load the CD into your computer’s CD Drive
b) Open the file on the CD and select the IPMONITOR application file.
c) Copy the file to your IP Monitor folder.
3) If you received the IP Monitor as a web download:
a) Locate the IPMONITOR application file in your computer’s Downloads folder.
b) Select the file and copy it to your IP Monitor folder.
4) If you received the IP Monitor as an email attachment:
a) Refer to your email provider’s instructions for downloading email attachments.

Preparing to Install - DHCP
If you are accessing an Internet NTP server, Port 123 must be open.
If you wish to be able to access the web interface from a computer that is not on the same subnet, Port 80
must be open.
If you wish to access your clock using a single, Static IP address, see the next page.
The clock is set to DHCP by default. This means that once the clock is connected to the network, it is
assigned the next available IP address. If a user wishes to access the web interface while the clock is in
DHCP mode, then the monitor.exe program is required. The clock can then be identified from its serial
number, and then double clicked on to enter the web interface.
If the user decides to use DHCP, and can confirm that they can access their clock by plugging it into
the LAN with a PoE Injector/Switch, then they may proceed by installing the clock hardware at the
desired location.

Preparing to Install - Static IP
If you are accessing an Internet NTP server, Port 123 must be open.
If you wish to be able to access the web interface from a computer that is not on the network, Port 80
must be open.
If you wish your clock to be assigned an IP address via DHCP, see the previous page.
If the user wants to access the clock by using the same IP address each time, otherwise known as a Static
IP, then the following steps should be performed:
1) Use a crossover cable to attach the SAP clock to a PoE injector, and the injector to your computer.
a. If you are connecting from the clock to the computer using a PoE switch, the injector is not needed.
2) If you know the IP address for your clock, enter it into the address bar of a web browser to access the
clock’s Web Interface.
a. If you do NOT know the IP address for your clock, power down the clock, then press and hold both
buttons simultaneously
b. Power the clock, then release the buttons after five (5) seconds. You should now be able to access the
clock at IP address 192.168.0.123.
3) Access the web interface using the password 6063, then click on the “Network Settings” tab.
4) Confirm that DHCP is set to OFF.
