ZL6 Basic Clock Sync

The ZL6 Basic requires a time sync to accurately save a time and 

date stamp with each sensor measurement record. This time 

sync happens when the logger connects to ZENTRA Utility or 

ZENTRA Utility Mobile.

The time 

must

 be reset any time the logger loses power (when 

batteries are removed or replaced).
