Daylight Saving Time
By default, the daylight saving time option is disabled in the
EM920.
When the DST option is enabled, the meter automatically
adjusts the clock at the predefined start/end time when
daylight savings time begins/ends.
When the DST option is set to Scheduled mode, the only DST
start/end hours are used, while the DST switch dates are
taken from the TOU calendar (see
Configuring the Season
Tariff and DST Schedule ). If the DST switch dates are not
found in the calendar for the present year, the meter will use
the dates you defined in your Local Settings.
When the daylight savings option is disabled, the device clock
should be manually adjusted for daylight saving time.
Time Synchronization Sources
The EM920 can synchronize its clock with a remote SNTP
server via the Internet, or receive the time synchronization
signal either from a GPS clock with an IRIG-B time-code
output, or from an external device providing second-aligned
(1PPS) or minute-aligned (1PPM) pulses.
