The master clock will not power up. What do I do?
Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the power outlet and to the back of the BCMA master clock. Upon being connected to power,
the master clock should boot up instantly. There is not an on/off switch.
What do I do if I cannot connect to the browser?
Verify that the IP address your attempting to access is correct. If the IP address is correct, verify that there aren’t any provisions in the firewall
preventing you from accessing it. If all else fails, try connecting via a cross-over cable.
What do I do if the GPS isn’t receiving a signal?
Check the antenna to make sure it is in an unobstructed area that is in complete view of the sky. Also, check to make sure the connections on each
end of the cable are securely tightened. Lastly, verify that there are no kinks or breaks in the supplied GPS cable.
The bell isn’t ringing when it’s supposed to. Why?
In the view/edit events section, make sure that the bell is configured to the proper zone and the correct schedule is currently active. If it is,
activate the zone manually to make sure that the relay is turning the bell on.
My sync-wire system doesn’t seem to be getting the correct time. What should I do?
The clock 1 and clock 2 outputs control the sync-wire systems. Verify that the correct system is set for the designated clock circuit. Protocol
details are listed on page 13.
What if I don’t know what the password for the user level programming is?
The default password is 1111. The password may or may not have been changed by the installing technician. Contact the installation technician to
obtain the password. If that’s not possible, see page 26 for instructions on how to reset the password.
Why didn’t my BCMA change for Daylight Savings Time?
A few things could cause the BCMA not to change for Daylight Savings Time. The first item to check is the date to verify if it’s correct. If the date
is not correct, the clock will not change. If the date is correct, verify that the clock is set for the correct version of Daylight Savings Time. See page
23 for more information.
Why didn’t the clock change schedules when it was supposed to?
In the view/edit schedule change sections, verify that the time and date were accurate. Also, make sure the schedule that was supposed to be
active is the correct schedule number.
