There are three (3) 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 (3).
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 one (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 one (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 transceiv-
ers/repeaters.
Operational Instructions
IMPORTANT: We highly recommend installing the main transceiver before the installation
of the SAL Series clocks.
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 cor-
recting within five (5) minutes.
Normal Mode/Economy Mode
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 recep-
tion).
Normal mode is defaulted when shipped from the factory.
To toggle this mode, push and release the Diagnostic Switch and the Transmit/Receive switch si-
multaneously. 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.
