Additional Information for the Summer/Winter DST
If the menu line Daylight Saving in the UTC DateTime menu is set to User Defined, the time and date fields of this
menu can be edited. If the menu line Daylight Saving is set to Off or Automatic, editing is disabled.
The menus for Summer DST Event and Winter DST Event indicate the time and date for the next change in
daylight saving time. At the indicated time and date, an hour will be added to or subtracted from SPG Time. For
some countries these dates are automated. The dates of a change to or from daylight saving time are dictated well in
advance, and by using the “Country Code” in the UTC DateTime menu, these dates are automatically implemented.
As an example:
 In the United Kingdom, Daylight Saving Time is referred to as British Summer Time (BST).
Summer Time Rule:
• Start: Last Sunday in March
• End: Last Sunday in October
• Time: 1.00 am (01:00) Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Equation used to calculate the beginning of European Summer Time: Sunday (31 - (5*y/4 + 4) mod 7) March at
01.00 UTC
Equation used to calculate the end of European Summer Time: Sunday (31 - (5*y/4 + 1) mod 7) October at 01.00
UTC
For countries where the SRG-4500 does not support automatic implementation of daylight saving time, the dates
can be entered manually in advance of each event and the automatic procedure will occur for that one event. A more
detailed description of implementing a manual update of these event dates is given in the “Daylight Saving” menu
description above.
