► To synchronize the SC300 time using DCTools
1
Ensure the time on the PC is correct before synchronizing.
PowerManagerII can be set to automatically synchronize SC300 clocks.
2
Connect to the SC300 with
DCTools.
(See Communications Options on page 104.)
3
Go to
Configuration
>
Time.
4
Click
Synchronise
to synchronize the SC300 time to the PC/laptop time.
DCTools, Web and PowerManagerII convert local PC time to/from UTC for the SC300.
► To synchronize the SC300 time using SNTP
For more information on SNTP, including a list of public SNTP servers, visit www.ntp.org
Ensure that your network has an internal SNTP server or allows access to an external server. It
may be necessary to configure access through your network's firewall.
1
Web: go to
System > Time > SNTP.
2
DCTools: go to
Configuration > Time > SNTP.
3
Set the following parameters:
Primary Address
IP address of primary SNTP server.
Backup Address
IP address of backup SNTP server.
UDP Port
Assigned by the time server administrator.
Poll Interval
The time between synchronizations.
The time will update a few seconds after any SNTP parameter change.
Internal clock battery
The SC300 uses an internal lithium battery to keep the clock running while the SC300 is not
powered up. Predicted life is at least three years. Life depends on the time the SC300 is not
powered up, temperature, and battery age.
This battery is monitored by the SC300.
To check the state of the battery:
•
Web: go to
Identity > Software
.
•
DCTools: go to
Configuration > Identity
.
Internal Battery Voltage provides a relative indication of battery health, not an exact voltage. A
good battery should read at least 100.
If the Internal Battery Voltage is less than 100, then the SC300 will still continue to work correctly
and time will be correct until power is lost.
To change the clock battery, please contact your Eaton DC power representative for advice.
