Advantages

• Money Saving System - A Master Clock is optional since each clock can receive the time data directly
from the NTP/SNTP time source.
• IP Monitor Software - View, supervise, and send various commands to the entire IP clock system. Set
one clock and deploy those settings to all other clocks in the system.
Advantages

2-Wire System Description
• Starts with the SMA Series Master Clock sending data to a Converter Box
• Converter Box acts as both a power supply and an amplifier of the data signal so it can send both the
24VDC and the data on the same pair of wires to the secondary clocks in the field
• The system works on only two wires and provides correction to the clocks as often as once per
second, ensuring superior accuracy
• The system is capable of supporting both analog and digital 24 volt clocks which can be used
together in the same system
How it Works

Converter Box Calculator
• One converter box can power many secondary clocks, however, this will be determined by the type
and size of the clock – analog or digital, the wire gauge (thickness) used for installation, and the
distance between the converter box and the last clock in the run.
• In order to assist the installer in calculating the amount of converter boxes for a project, Sapling has
created a Converter Box Calculator. This calculator is an Excel file and by filling in all the necessary
information, the installer will be able to determine how many converter boxes will be needed for
the project.

most 58-minute corrections, and National Time/Rauland
• Sapling SAM series analog clocks will automatically detect the correct protocol

IP System Replacement/Interfacing Solutions
• Sapling IP Clocks are capable of taking the time data from any NTP or SNTP server via LAN and the
internet without the need for a Sapling Master Clock
• If the facility has an in-house NTP or SNTP server, Sapling’s PoE-powered IP clocks are able to receive
the time data over LAN, synchronizing them with the existing system
• If the facility’s existing synchronized clock system is taking the time data from a third-party NTP or
SNTP server, it is easy to set Sapling IP Clocks to take the time from the same NTP or SNTP server

Adding a new or replacement Master Clock with Secondary Clocks for an
Existing Wired System
Adding a new or replacement master clock in a sync-wire system
• Replace an existing master clock with a Sapling Master Clock
• Sapling Master Clocks support the vast majority of sync-wire time protocols and as such may synchronize
existing third-party sync-wire clocks
• The same Sapling Master Clock can correct sync-wire clocks, send the time data (via a converter box)
to Sapling Wired Clocks utilizing the advantages of the Sapling 2-Wire System, and to Sapling Wireless
Clocks if equipped with a transmitter
• This allows for a gradual replacement of your old system’s sync-wire clocks with the latest technology

AddinganeworreplacementMasterClockwithSecondaryClocksforanExistingSystem
Syncing to the Same Time Source
• Sapling Master Clocks are capable of taking the time data from any NTP or SNTP server, as well as a GPS.
• If the existing master clock system is set to take the time data from an (S)NTP server or a GPS, a
Sapling Master Clock can take time data from the same source, which will synchronize the systems.

Adding a New or Replacement Master Clock with Third Party Clocks
Once-A-Day Contact Closure
• A Sapling Master Clock has the capability to receive a once-a-day contact closure from an existing
master clock, which will synchronize the Sapling Master Clock with the existing master clock. This will
synchronize the entire existing clock system with the entire Sapling clock system.

Adding a New or Replacement Master Clock for a New or Existing IP System
NTP Master Clock
• Sapling’s NTP Master Clock will add a redundant time source to a facility’s IP clock system
• The Sapling NTP Master Clock is upgraded to act as an NTP server, allowing it to provide NTP time to any IP
device in a facility capable of receiving it
• This greatly reduces the chances of the clocks being unable to synchronize to an accurate time source
• Sapling NTP Master Clocks come pre-programmed with the IP addresses of 10 free third-party NTP
servers from around the world, so if one server goes down, there are nine backups remaining
• Sapling offers an NTP Master Clock equipped with a GPS receiver, which provides another layer of
redundancy and reliability to the system

Upgrading a Third Party System to a Sapling Wireless System
• A Sapling Wireless Master Clock can simultaneously provide various
sync wired corrections to an existing wired system and transmit the
time data to Sapling Wireless Clocks.
• Upgrade to a Sapling Wireless system as older wired system clocks
begin to fail. For installation flexibility, wireless clocks can utilize the
existing power or replace them with a battery option.
