6.2 SETTING DATE FORMAT
This function enables user to choose the correct date format. The default date format is
MM/DD/YYYY (MONTH/DAY/YEAR), as is customary in the USA. To determine to which date
format the instrument is set, enter the supervisory mode (
Section 6.1 Programming Options
)
and use the MODE button to scroll down to “DATE FORMAT”. If set for USA, display will
indicate:
DATE FORMAT
MM/DD
If this format is acceptable, and there is no need to set the date and time, depress the
MODE button to bypass the function. If, however, DD/MM/YYYY (DAY/MONTH/YEAR)
format is desired, depress the ON/OFF button twice, (once to enter the menu, and again to
change the date format) to:
DD/MM
15/06/2000-13:50 (These numbers represent current date & time)
If there is no reason to change the date or time, depress the ON/OFF button a further twelve
times to exit.

6.3 SETTING DATE/TIME AND DAYLIGHT SAVING
To set date and time enter the supervisory mode (
Section 6.1 Programming Options
) and
use the MODE button to scroll to “DATE FORMAT”. Depress the ON/OFF button to enter
the menu. Depress the MODE button. The first digit on the left will start to flash. Depress
the ON/OFF switch to accept the flashing number and move one number to the right, or
use the MODE button to change the flashing number to the desired value. If the date format
is MM/DD, the first two digits on the left represent the current month and the first digit must
be either a 0 or a 1. Let us set the date to September 2, 2002. We need 09 to represent the
month of September. If 0 is flashing, depress the ON/OFF switch. This accepts the 0 on
the left and we may now use the MODE switch to set the next number to 9. Depress the
ON/OFF button to accept the 9 and the month is correctly set to 09. The next digit on the
right is now flashing and the MODE button is used to select 0. Depress the ON/OFF button
to accept the 0, the MODE button to select 2, and the ON/OFF button to accept 2. To set
the year, use the MODE button to select 2, the ON/OFF button to accept the 2. Use the
MODE button to select the 0 and depress the ON/OFF button to accept. Use the MODE
button to select 0 again and depress the ON/OFF button to accept. Use the MODE button to
select the 2 and the ON/OFF button to accept. This completes the date settings. To continue
and set the correct time to 14:45 (2:45PM), use the MODE button to select 1 and the
ON/OFF button to accept the 1. Use the MODE button to select 4 and depress the ON/OFF
button to accept the 4. Use MODE switch to select 4 and depress the ON/OFF switch to
accept the 4. Use MODE to select 5 and ON/OFF to accept and exit this menu.
The date and time are now correctly set. The “DAYLIGHT SAVING” time menu now appears.
