1. Find a location that will allow the Transceiver to transmit the signal in
open space. (hallway recommended)
2. Run the wiring through the knockouts and connect according to the wir-
ing information.
3. Tighten all four (4) screws (6-32) on the front panel.
4. Line up the Transceiver in the desired mounting location and mark the
holes.
5. Mount anchors (not included) to where the holes were marked at in the
previous step.
6. Mount the Transceiver using four (4) screws (not included).

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best location for the Transceiver to be mounted?
Usually, the hallway is the best location because it is mostly open space in typical applications.
How far can the Transceiver transmit the wireless signal?
The Transceiver can transmit up to 1000 meters in open space.
Will the Transceiver have interference from cordless or cellular phones?
No, because with Sapling’s innovative frequency-hopping technology, interference will not occur.
The Transceiver transmits between 915 - 928 MHz and switches frequencies instantly when any in-
terference is present.
Can analog wireless clocks be combined with digital wireless clocks?
Absolutely. The analog and digital wireless clocks are designed to work together, whether the
clocks are running on battery (analog wireless clock only), 24 volts or 110 volts.
Can the GPS receiver correct the Transceiver?
Yes, the GPS receiver can transmit the data via RS485 communication output to the RS485 input on
the Transceiver.
Does the Transceiver interface with a computer?
Yes, through the RS232 connection.
If the power is disconnected from the Transceiver, will I lose all of my settings?
The Transceiver will not lose the settings if power is disconnected from it.
Is the Transceiver FCC compliant?
The Transceiver is FCC approved via FCC part 15, Section 15,247.
My power source is 220 volts. Can the Transceiver be powered on that voltage?
Yes, the Transceiver can work on 110 volts/60 Hz or 220 volts/50 Hz.

Troubleshooting
The clocks aren’t receiving the signal. What should I do?
Make sure that the Transceiver is in a place where the signal can be transmitted in open space.
I can’t get my Transceiver to synchronize with the Internet. What should I do?
Check your connection between the ends of the CAT 5 cable. Make sure the pin configuration is
correct. Also, make sure the Internet connection is enabled in programming. Refer to the Trans-
ceiver Programming Manual for more information.
What should I do if the Transceiver 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 Transceiver via RS485, but it doesn’t seem to cor-
rect. What should I do?
Make sure the RS485 is in the correct polarity. If the polarity is reversed, the Transceiver will not
correct. Also check the LED to make sure it is flickering once a second for communication.
What should I do if I can’t get the programmable relay to close?
Refer to the programming manual of the STR 2000 for instructions on how to program the relay. If
it still does not work, contact Sapling technical support.
There is a large gap between clocks farther in the building where the Transceiver can’t reach.
What should I do for increased signal?
Add a Sapling Repeater, part number STR-100-000-1. This will give you an added 1000 meters of
transmission (in open space).

FCC Wants You to Know
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital de-
vice, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a commercial installation. This equipment gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-
ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter-
ference by one or more of the following measures:
a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
b) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
c) Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different
from which the receiver is connected.
d) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
FCC WARNING
Modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user authority to operate
the equipment under FCC Rules.
Note: For precautionary measures, FCC recommends a distance of 10cm from the clock to constant
human physical exposure.
