Daylight Savings and Network Time Servers

When configuring daylight savings you must also ensure the controller is using the correct date and time. The exact steps required depend on whether you are using an Internet/Network Time Server.

Systems without a Time Server

After daylight savings has been programmed you may get an event that daylight savings has started or ended depending on the configured dates. You must then manually set the time of the controller to the correct value to ensure that the time is updated automatically the next time there is a shift in daylight savings.

1. Navigate to Scheduling | Time
2. Ensure the correct Date and Time is showing, and adjust if necessary.

Systems with a Time Server

If using a Time Server, the time provided is always UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) which has no time zone and is not subject to any daylight saving time rules. This means that you must correctly configure the daylight savings settings, the Time Server, and the time zone that the controller is operating in. Failure to configure any of these correctly will result in the time being inaccurate.

1. Navigate to Scheduling | Time
2. Ensure the IP address of the Time Server is set correctly and that the Time Zone selected matches the daylight savings period entered.
