Timestamp Configuration - Trane BCI-I Integration Manual

Timestamp Configuration

The BCI-C device has a software-derived clock that maintains the time and date. The device requires
the current time to enable it to record a timestamp when an event or a change in state is detected
by a BACnet object. However, in the event of a power loss, the device does not maintain this time
and date information. At powerup, the device time and date will default to 12:00 pm., Jan 1, 1970.
To minimize the possibility that the unit timestamp is not representing the actual time, the BAS
should be setup to periodically synchronize the device time clock with the BAS clock using the
BACnet TimeSynchronization service.
