Setting the Time & Date
Setting Time & Date
Both the Modular Service Tool and Modular System Manager are
equipped with a real time clock chip allowing them to maintain the
correct time. Once you have programmed the correct time and date, the
information is broadcast globally to all controllers on the entire system.
The System Manager will also broadcast this information once every day
at midnight to synchronize all of the controllers on the system.

. The following screen will

Schedules, the Occupied/Unoccupied modes are calculated on the basis

NOTE:
The U.S. government has seen fi t recently to arbitrarily
determine the switch-over dates each year, so we
recommend that you disable this function and
manually change the schedules from year to year.
If you enable this operation, be aware that the time
will change the fi rst Sunday in April and then switch
back the last Sunday in October. These used to be the
standard dates that were constant from year to year.
