BCMC 3000 Series Master Clock Programming Manual

Getting Started

Definitions

Event: A pre-programmed action, such as ringing of bells, at a specific time, which is triggered by
a relay closure in one or more of the zones of the master clock

Schedule: A series of programmed events. One schedule can include enough events to cover a com­ plete school day.

Zone: Each zone is controlled by a relay closure, to which devices such as bells or fire alarms can
be connected. The master clock has four zones as a standard, with up to twelve optional.

User programming features

All user programming is to be done by using the 16-button keypad located on the front of the Sapling master
clock. The keypad is shown below:

The LCD display is 20 characters wide and consists of both a top and a bottom line. When the master is
powered on, the LCD display should read:

Entering the Password

To enter the user-programming mode you will need to use the 4-digit User Password provided on page one of
this manual. (The user password will be programmed prior to installation by the contracting company techni­cian who is supplying the clock system.) Press the four digits of the password on the keypad. There is no
need to press the <YES/ENTER> key after entering the password. You will automatically be brought to the
next step upon entering the password. Please note: your password will be hidden as you enter it. The * sign
will appear instead of digits.

To Exit the Programming Mode

If at any time during programming, you wish to exit programming mode, press the <YES/ENTER> key or
the <NO/CLEAR> key, as appropriate, in response to the prompts on the LCD display. After scrolling
through all the options and responding to all applicable prompts the LCD display will then return to the main
screen.

Advanced Options

There are two advanced programming options, they are "Clock System On/Off" and "Send Numeric Message".

“Send Numeric Message?”

tal clocks, the master can send numeric messages to individual clocks, or groups of clocks, which have been as­signed individual “addresses” by the technician prior to installation. If you wish to “silently page” someone by
flashing a code onto a specific digital clock location, this function allows you to send such a message.

- This allows the customer to control the power sent to the clock systems. This func-

T echnician Addr esses

Customer Password

Address 000: This address allows the customer password to be modified. The default value
is 1111. This password can be any four (4) characters.

Clock System Selection

Address 004: This address controls Clock System #1 (000 is off, default value is 006)
Address 005: This address controls Clock System #2 (000 is off, default value is 001)

Clock System On/Off

Address 006: This address controls the Clock Systems (000 is off, default value is 001, 002
allows the user to manually control the power sent to the clock systems)

Send Numeric Message

Address 007: This address enables/disables the numeric messaging function. This function
can only be used when running a digital clock system (except the BCBL 1000 series). Nu­meric messaging allows the customer to send a numeric message to individual clocks, or to a
group of clocks in the system, or to all the clocks. To allow for numeric messaging, enter
“001” to enable this feature. “000” turns this feature off. (default value is 000)

Send Bell Message

Address 008 - 019: This address enables/disables the Bell message function. This function
can only be used when running a digital clock system (BCBD 1000, BCBZ Zone, or BCBD
2000 series). It sends a message to the digital clocks whenever the relay closes to display the
word “BELL” on the digital clock screen whenever a bell rings. This function is helpful
when dealing with a hearing-impaired community. You can program the master clock to
send the Bell message to individual clock zones by entering the programmed zone into each
address. There are four relays that come standard with each master clock, with an additional
eight as options. Addresses 008 through 019 turn on or off this option for each relay/zone in
the master clock. Enter “001” to send a bell message to each zone (default value is 255 and
will disable this function).

Duration Settings For Zones

Address 020 - 066: These addresses allow the user to set the desired duration of the relay
closure from 1 - 3600 seconds. Addresses 020 - 034 control the standard four (4) zones. Ad­dresses 036 - 066 control the option eight relays that are available. For example, Address
020 is Duration 1 for Zone 1 (default value is 3). Address 022 is Duration 2 for Zone 1
(default value is 5). Address 024 is Duration 1 for Zone 2. Address 026 is Duration 2 for
Zone 2, etc.

Enable/Disable Daylight Savings Time

Address 069: This address allows the user to enable/disable Daylight Savings Time. Enter­ing 001 will disable this feature. Entering 000 will enable DST (default is 000)

Keyboard Time-out

Address 071: This option allows the user to set how much time elapses in between key­strokes before the master clock will automatically “time out” of programming mode and re­turn to the main screen. This option is set is seconds from 001 - 255. “000” will disable this
feature (default value is 30).

RS485 Transmission Rate

Address 078: When using the master clock to control an RS485 clock system, you can con­trol how often data from the master is transmitted to the slave clocks (default value is 001).

001 = data transmitted every second
002 = data transmitted every 5 seconds
003 = data transmitted every 10 seconds
004 = data transmitted every 15 seconds
005 = data transmitted every 30 seconds
006 = data transmitted every minute
007 = data transmitted every 2 minutes
008 = data transmitted every 5 minutes
009 = data transmitted every 10 minutes
010 = data transmitted every 15 minutes
011 = data transmitted every 30 minutes
Any other value will turn off RS485 data transmission

BIT Testing

Address 079: This address enters the self testing mode called BIT testing. This tests all as­pects of the master clock. Any value entered in this address will activate the BIT tests
(default value is 000).

Keypad: Press YES to test the keypad. Press the buttons as shown on the display on the
master clock. After completion, the display will display the next option.

LEDs: Press NO at this option.

Real Time Clock: Press YES to enter this test. This will check the internal time base of the
master clock. If the Real Time Clock passes the test, at the end of test, the display will read:
“RT-Clock OK. Press any key.” Press any key to advance to the next option.

EEPROM: Press YES to enter this test. This will check the EEPROM to make sure the mas­ter is functioning properly. If it passes the test, the display will read: “EEProm OK”.

RAM: This will test to make sure the RAM is functioning optimally. Press YES to enter this
test. If the RAM tests good, the display will read “RAM OK”.

Relays: Press YES to test the relays. Enter the number of zones to test. Pressing 1 tests
Zones 1 - 4. Pressing 2 tests Zones 1 - 8. Pressing 3 tests Zones 1 - 12.

Inputs: Press YES to test the inputs. Use a jumper to jump pins 5 and 6. The Clk in: will
flash between 0 and 1.

Communication Out: The master clock will check the communication output. An oscillo­scope is needed, and you should get a square wave if the communication output is function­ing properly.

Reset

Address 080: This address will clear out the programming and will reset to the manufac­turer’s preset parameters. The default value is 255. Any different values will prompt for the
user to clear the programming.
