Appendix C - Common Questions and Answers

Q

What are the two push button switches for?

A

The two push button switches are only used with remotes that calculate Highs, Lows or
Averages. They are used on the remotes for setting the time of the built-in clock. See the
configuration and testing section for details.

Q

How do I test the clock battery?

A

You can do this with a battery tester or you can simply set the time. Wait a few minutes then
unplug the AC power. After a couple more minutes reconnect the AC power. If the clock
comes up with midnight instead of the time you just set, the battery is dead.

Q

What if I want the high/low/average readings to reset at a time other than midnight?

A

This can be done by intentionally setting the time wrong when you set the clock. You need to
set the time so that Summit thinks it is midnight at the time you want the reset to happen. To
calculate the time to set on Summit you first calculate the time offset. The time offset is equal
to 24:00 minus the desired reset time. Some examples are, for a reset time of 6:00 the time
offset = 24:00 - 6:00 = 18:00. For a reset time of 15:00 (3:00PM) the time offset = 24:00 -
15:00 = 9:00. Once you have calculated the time offset, you should note it on the back of the
instrument and in these instructions. Now you set the clock ahead by the amount of the time
offset. For the examples, if the current time is 10:24 and, you want a reset time of 6:00. The
time offset is 18:00 so, you want set the clock ahead by 18 hours which is 28:24. Obviously
you can’t set a clock to 28:24 so you subtract 24 hours giving you a time of 4:24 to set on the
Summit clock. If you wanted the reset time to be 15:00, the time offset is 9:00 so, you set the
clock ahead 9 hours which is 19:24. This method will work with very odd reset times like
18:47 but, the addition and subtraction are more difficult, 24:00 - 18:47 = 5:13. If the current
time is 21:54 then you’d set it to 21:54 + 5:13 = 27:07, 27:07 - 24:00 = 3:07.
