How does the TOU schedule know Daylight Savings?
To enable the Daylight savings, you must check “Enable DS Time” on the Recorder panel; by default DST is
enabled. This DS time adjustment uses the first Sunday in April and the Last Sunday in October. If your AMR
system does not utilize daylight saving, be sure to disable this option.
When setting up the daylight savings time, remember to adjust the min. and max.
“time adjustment” for a sliding window average. This option allows E-Mon
Energy™ to automatically synchronize the recorder time to the PC time when the
clocks drift within the specified range.
