Real time clock (RTC)

The real-time clock is the basis for time-dependent process controls, e.g.:
● To reduce the temperature of a heating control during the night
● To increase the pressure of a water supply at certain times during the day
Function and settings
The real-time clock starts as soon as the Control Unit power supply is switched on for the first
time. The real-time clock comprises the time in a 24 hour format and the date in the "day,
month, year" format.
After a Control Unit power supply interruption, the real-time clock continues to run for approx.
five days.
If you wish to use the real-time clock, you must set the time and date once when commissioning.
If you restore the inverter factory setting, the inverter only resets parameters p8402 and p8405
of the real-time clock. P8400 and p8401 are not reset.
