Does the RF500 Gateway adjust for Daylight Saving Time?

Unfortunately, the RF500A/RF500AP Gateway does not have a built-in feature to automatically adjust the internal clock when it comes to Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustments. The clock will therefore need to be adjusted manually.


HTML or Original Interface

In order to change the clock by an hour forward or back, simply visit ‘Administration’ then the ‘Set Clock’ option and change the set time accordingly.

set-clock

 

You will need to:

  • Enter the current date and time using a 4-digit year
  • Enter your password
  • Click the ‘Submit’ button to confirm changes

On completion of the change, the Gateway will reset.  Your Transmitters will synchronise to the new time when they next connect to the Gateway and they will start a new period of data from that new time. No data will be lost during this process.

For full instructions on setting the time and date, please refer to the Set Gateway Clock section of the RF500-Webview Help Guide.
