INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE AND
PROGRAMMING OF THE
BCBD 2000-SERIES DIG ITAL CLOCK
AM/PM INDICATOR COLON
SET HOUR
SET MIN.
The Bogen BCBD 2000–Series digital clock is a four digit display, each digit made of
seven bars. There are two buttons on the right side of the display for programming.
The top button, when pressed alone, sets the hours (the first two digits). The bottom button, when pressed alone, sets the minutes (the last two digits). When setting the hours and
minutes, the display will scroll through the numbers at a rate of 1 per second. If the set
hour or set minute button is depressed for a length of time, the numbers will scroll faster.
When both buttons are pressed together, the clock enters programming mode.
After pressing the two buttons together and beginning program mode, the top button
moves the display through the different options (setting the date, enabling daylight savings
time, etc.). The bottom button allows for adjustment within each option (Month 1-12,
12/24 hour display mode, etc.)
The digital clocks have the capability of working as a slave, a master clock or independently. When using the digital clock as a master or independent clock, the colon (located
between the HH:MM) will flash. When using the digital clock as a slave, the colon will
flash only when the clock has lost input from the master. If the slave clock loses input,
that clock will flash its colon to signal this loss of communication and will work as a master clock for the remainder of the system.

PROGRAMMING THE BCBD 2000:
Once programming mode has been entered, the
number "1" will appear in the far left position (see
diagram). This is option 1, 'Set Year'. Using the
bottom button, the user can scroll from 00-99 on
the display of the last two digits and set the correct
year (e.g.. 01).
Pressing the top button will move into option 2,
'Set Month'. The far left digit will now display
the number "2", and the last two digits of the display will again be used to program the new information. Pressing the bottom button, the user can
set the correct month, from 01-12.
Pressing the top button again will move the user
onto option 3, 'Set Date', and the number "3" will
appear in the far left position. Press the bottom button to scroll through the days of the month, from
01-31.
Option 4 gives the choice of either 12 hour
(standard) or 24 hour (military) display mode. The
number "4" will appear during this option, and the
two characters on the right will alternate between
"12" and "24" when the bottom button is pressed
