ABB SM500F - Time

SM500F
Field mountable paperless recorder 7 Configuration
76 IM/SM500F Rev. Z
7.6.3 Time
Set the date and time formats and set the current date and time using the
dialog box.
Note.
 If daylight saving is required, enter the settings (see next page)
before setting the time and date as the operation of the internal
clock is affected by the daylight saving settings.
 The date and time cannot be adjusted if recording is enabled
during configuration, i.e the 'Disable recording in configuration'
check box is
not ticked on entry to the Configuration level – see
Fig. 7.2, page 67.
 Changes to the date and time are effective immediately upon
selecting 'OK' in the dialog box. Select 'Cancel' in the dialog box to
exit date and time setup without saving changes. Selecting
'Cancel' upon exiting Configuration Mode (see Fig. 7.7, page 73)
does not reset the clock to its previous setting.
 Setting an earlier date or time results in the loss of all data currently
in the internal buffer memory past that date. Data archived to
external media is unaffected. If an earlier time must be set, change
the Instrument Tag (see page 74). This causes new archive files to
be created and the duplicated hour of data is then saved to the
new files.
 Time changes due to automatic daylight saving do not affect the
recorded data.
 Archive files created during the daylight saving period (see
Section 7.7.4, page 90) are compatible with the database feature
of Version 6.2 (or later) only of the Company's DataManager data
analysis software package.
 If the status icon is displayed the clock battery must be
replaced – contact factory.
