Time system
General
The EC 900 has been equipped with a time system which fulfils not only PTB requirements but also
international requirements.
This includes in particular a programmable change to summer or standard time.
Rules for changing time
The rules for changing the date and time are stipulated in PTB Requirement PTB-A 50.7.
PTB telephone time service
In Germany, time synchronization through the PTB telephone time service is required in conjunction
with remote data transmission.
In other European countries, comparable authorities offer equivalent services.
If there is no telephone time service available, time synchronization has to be performed via an al-
ternative synchronization input (alternatively: software/serial interface or contact input).
Operating parameters for controlling time and date
The following operating parameters are required for the time system:
1. Length of the measuring period
2. End of the billing day (e.g. 6 o'clock)
3. End of the billing year (e.g. September)
4. Time change yes/no
5. Time zone
