Time and timekeeping
Time overview
Your meter supports different time types and time synchronization methods to adjust
its internal clock.
Your meter’s internal clock is used for keeping time, timestamping data and
determining intervals for time-based measurements. The meter’s clock does not affect
externally logged data.
Your meter monitors the passage of time using the frequency of an internal oscillator or
the frequency of the line power being measured. You can view your meter’s time and
date information using the display or through software. To improve your meter clock’s
accuracy, you can use an external time reference, such as a Global Positioning
System (GPS) signal.
Your meter’s battery maintains the internal clock when the meter is unpowered.
Your meter displays local time based on the meter’s time sync source and settings for
timezone and daylight savings time. You can configure your meter’s date and time
format.
Go to www.usa.siemens.com/pds and download the Time synchronization and
timekeeping technical note for more information about time formats and settings and
the ION Reference for a detailed description of the Clock module and its operation.
Internal clock temperature compensation
The time accuracy of the meter has been improved by compensating for clock drift if
the meter’s operating temperature falls outside the optimum temperature range.
Your meter’s internal clock is adjusted based on the internal clock temperature
compensation parameters.
Internal clock temperature compensation parameters
Your meter’s internal clock is adjusted based on the temperature profile of its
components.

Time synchronization overview
The time synchronization source and the duration between time synchronization
messages determines the accuracy of the meter’s clock.
The clock is adjusted by synchronizing the meter’s time with another time source. Time
synchronization messages can be automatically generated and sent to your meter
from your energy management system software or other time source such as an
SNTP/NTP server or GPS receiver. You can also manually trigger a time
