Setting The System Time And Date; Using A Tcp/Ip Connection To Write To The Panel - Kidde VM-1 User Manual

Setting the system time and date

The VM-1 control panel incorporates a system clock to time stamp events and to
activate time controls. The time is presented in 24-hour format. The date is
presented in month-day-year format.
To set the time:
1. From the Main Menu, choose Program, and then choose Change Time.
2. Enter the access level password.
3. Enter the hour, minutes, and seconds (HHMMSS).
Examples:
000000 = midnight
010000 = 1:00 a.m.
120000 = noon
130000 = 1:00 p.m.
235900 = 11:59 p.m.
To set the date:
1. From the Main Menu, choose Program, and then choose Change Date.
2. Enter the access level password.
3. Enter the date (MMDDYYYY).
Using a TCP/IP connection to write to the
panel
If your VM-1 control panel is equipped with an Ethernet card, your service
provider can use the TCP/IP connection to write (download) the project database
to the panel instead of using an RS-232 connection. By default, this feature is
"locked" to prevent someone from changing the project database without
permission. You cannot write to the panel until it is "unlocked."
Notes
• Activating and restoring the Remote Write Unlock command does not affect
downloading the project database using an RS-232 connection.
• The Remote Write Unlock command times out after 15 minutes.
