Setting the Time and Date
XW Inverter/Charger advanced features such as peak load shaving, Charger
Block, and time-stamped events (faults and warnings and logged historical data)
require that the system be set to the correct time. The System Control Panel has an
internal clock that controls the time for all Xanbus-enabled devices in the system.
You can set the time, time format, and date on the Clock menu. The Clock menu is
accessible on the Select Device menu.
For more information, see “Setting the Time” and “Setting the Date” in the XW
System Control Panel Owner’s Guide.
