Time  Date and time 

The  date  and  time  are  displayed  separately. When  moving  to  the  right  within  the 
list structure, the date is displayed after the time. When moving to the left, only the 
time is displayed. 
After  pressing  <ENTER>  for  entry  (set  clock),  the  date  and  time  are  displayed 
together (initially without seconds). The input mark (cursor) is located on the right -
hand display position, then after pressing 

 

 

 again, the complete value is moved 

to the left so that the seconds can also be changed.  
The time is updated in synchronism with the operating cycle 

OCyc

 (see below) or 

after key operation. 

 

MdTim Daylight saving: yes / no 

"0" = Automatic changeover between summer and winter time OFF.  
"1" = Automatic changeover between summer and winter time:  

Summer time begins on the last Sunday in March at 2:00 hrs. and ends on 
the last Sunday in October at 2:00 hrs. 

"2" = Switchover at set times 

The start and finish of daylight saving is set under the addresses 1:4A0 and 
1:4A8. The times must be set each year. 

 

MCyc  Measurement cycle time 

Measurements  (e.g.  pressure,  temperature),  computed  values  (e.g.  K -value, 
conversion factor) and counter readings are updated on this c ycle. 
To  ensure  all functions, 

MCyc

  must  only be set  to integer  factors  of  60  seconds, 

e.g. 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 60 seconds. In addition 

MCyc

 must be an integer factor of 

OCyc

  (see  below).  Entries  of  values  not  satisfying  these  conditions  are,  where 

possible,  corrected  automatically.  If  the  EK260  does  not  find  any  suita ble  value 
during the correction attempt, it rejects the entry with error message "6". (

 2.3.3) 

In applications subject to official calibration 

MCyc

 must be less than or equal to 20 

seconds. 
The standard setting is 20 seconds. 
With settings less than 20 seconds the battery service life is reduced. (
