Frequently Asked Questions
What systems can be run using the SSM master clock?
RS485 systems can be run through the SSM. If the Converter option is selected, 2 wire digital com-
munication systems can be run as well.
Can the GPS receiver correct the SSM master clock?
Yes, the GPS receiver can transmit the data via RS485 communication output to the RS485 input on
the SSM.
Does the SSM interface with a computer?
Yes, through the RS232 connection.
If the power is disconnected from the SSM, will I lose all of my settings?
The SSM will not lose the settings if power is disconnected from it. A battery back up is installed
to ensure the settings will not be lost.
Is there any way that I can view how much current is being drawn from the Converter
(Converter option only)?
The SSM has an option through programming where the current can be viewed on the display. Re-
fer to the SSM programming manual for more information.
My power source is 220 volts. Can the SSM be powered on that voltage?
Yes, the SSM can work on 110 volts/50 Hz or 220 volts/60 Hz.
What time server does the SSM get its time from?
The SSM gets its time from time.nist.gov. The IP address for that site is 192.43.244.18.
Can I alter the time server to a NTP server that I designate?
No. The time server is not able to be changed.
What ports need to be opened on the firewall to allow synchronization to the Internet?
The default ports that need to be open are port 13 and port 1001.

Troubleshooting
I can’t get the master clock to synchronize with the Internet. What should I do?
1) Check your connection between the ends of the CAT 5 cable. Make sure the pin
configuration is correct. Upon connection, the master clock should direct itself to the
atomic web site to receive the clock signal.
2) Make sure ports 13 and 1001 are open on your firewall.
What should I do if the master clock is not powering up?
Measure the voltage between pins 1 & 3. The voltmeter should read 85 - 135 VAC between the hot
and the neutral.
I’m trying to synchronize my GPS with the SSM via RS485, but it doesn’t seem to correct.
What should I do?
Make sure the RS485 is in the correct polarity. If the polarity is reversed, the SSM will not correct.
What should I do if I can’t get the programmable relay to close?
Refer to the programming manual of the SSM Master Clock for instructions on how to program the
relay. If it still does not work, contact Sapling technical support.
The Converter shut off. How do I reset it?
If the Converter shut off due to an overload, it will attempt to reset in two (2) minutes. If the Con-
verter turned off due to temperature, it will have to be manually reset. Unscrew the cover of the
SSM master clock and go to the Converter board. Underneath the transformer will be a push switch.
Press the switch and the Converter should turn back on.
