Dynamic Flow Computers SFC332L Manual Data Entry

Date: 8/1/2019
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Enabling Daylight Saving Time (also called “Summer Time”) sets the Flow Computer to automatically
forward its time by one hour at 2:00 AM on a preset day (“Spring Forward”) of the year and roll back on a
second date(“Fall Back”).
If left in auto mode, the computer calculates the DST dates based on USA standards, which are, Spring
Forward the first Sunday of April and Fall Back the last Sunday of October.
For countries with other DST dates, the user can enter dates manually. For example, European Summer
Time starts the last Sunday in March and ends the last Sunday in October.
Effects of DST on Historical Data
Given the sudden time change that DST creates, the historical reports will show an hour with zero flow at
2:00 AM of Spring Forward Day and an hour with double flow at 1:00 AM of Fall Back Day, to achieve
consistent 24-Hour a day flow records.
