Updating Date and Time In the Meter
The Soil Compaction Supervisor has an internal clock that
supplies the date and time for the data records. The internal
clock can be updated as required using a setup key. The
update process requires steps to be performed using the
key reader and the Soil Compaction Supervisor. Have both
available before starting the procedure.
