Important: We highly recommend installing the main transceiver before the installation of the SAL-2
Series clocks.
Operational Instructions
In order to install the clock, simply remove the battery cover, and install two (2) D cell batteries (recommended battery type: Duracell PROCELL; can
be purchased through Sapling (Part # E-DBATT)). After installation of the battery, replace the battery cover and the clock should start correcting
within five (5) minutes.
The SAL-2 Series clocks have two different modes in which they will operate. Normal mode allows the clock to transmit/receive every two (2) hours.
This mode will allow the clock to have a 5 year battery life (provided good reception). Economical mode allows the clock to transmit/receive every four
(4) hours. This mode will allow the clock to have a 8 year battery life (provided good reception).
Normal mode is defaulted when shipped from the factory.
To toggle this mode, push and release the Diagnostic Switch and the Transmit/Receive switch simultaneously. If 5 year mode is selected, the LED will
be solid RED for one minute and the second hand will go to 5 (25 seconds). If 8 year mode is selected, the LED will be solid GREEN for one minute and
the second hand will go to 8 (40 seconds).
IMPORTANT: If a clock is being added to an existing system, it must be in normal mode.
There are three ways to operate Sapling’s SAL Series Wireless System. The user can choose any of the combinations listed below, or any combination
of the three.
Option #1:
There is a main high powered transceiver in the building and repeaters as needed to cover the entire premise. In this option, the system does not
depend on the clock for transmission.
Option #2:
There is at least 1 high powered transceiver in the building and in order to cover the entire premise, the battery operated clocks are used as
transceivers/repeaters.
Option #3:
There is at least 1 high powered transceiver in the building and in order to cover the entire premise, the power (24V or 110V) operated clocks are used
as transceivers/repeaters.
Option #4:
In a campus-environment, there is either 1 high powered transceiver and the clocks and repeaters are used to send the signal from building to
building, or there is a transceiver in each building in the campus.
