Vemco VR100 - Setting Local Time Offset

VEMCO – VR100 Manual 28 May 2018 13
2.1.2 Set Local Time Offset
The UTC offset and the local date and time are set by following the steps below from the Main screen:
1. Select Config (see section 6.1.2.1).
2. Press “2” on the keypad.
3. Press “1” on the keypad.
4. Enter the UTC offset for the area where the VR100 will be used (see section 6.7) on the keypad. This is a
number between –12.0 and +12.0. The negative, if needed, must be entered before the number or the
number will be erased and have to be re-entered.
NOTE: One decimal place is available for time zones that have an offset of more than a multiple of an
hour. For example, Newfoundland Standard Time (NST) is 3.5 hours behind UTC so the offset value
“–3.5” would be entered.
5. Press the right selection button to accept the offset value. The screen
shown below will appear for the date and time to be set.
6. Use the up and down arrow buttons to move the cursor horizontally to
the desired component of the date/time.
7. Enter the new numbers on the keypad.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until the date and time are entered as desired.
9. Press the right selection button to accept the changes.
The Set Local Time screen also displays the date the time was last set and by whom, either the user (USER),
the GPS (GPS), or the PC software (USB). If the display reads DFLT, then either the time has never been set
or the time was lost if the battery was fully drained of power and recharged. The time is maintained as long
as the battery is charged.
2.1.3 Select Units (sensor tags only)
The temperature and depth units are selected on a global level. This means that all temperatures values on all
screens will have the temperature units selected in the Units sub-menu, and all depth values on all screens
will have the depth units selected in the Units sub-menu. Follow the steps below to select the units.
From the Main screen:
1. Select Config (see section 6.1.2.1).
2. Press “2” on the keypad.
3. Press “5” on the keypad.
4. Press “1” for temperature units or “2” for
depth units.
5. Use the arrow buttons to move through the
list of unit options (see table at right) until the
desired unit is seen on the screen, with the
flashing cursor.
6. Press “Select” (right selection button).
