Technical Manual
SKOV A/S recommends that you follow a standard network setup (also see FarmOn-
line Explorer Technical manual).
Note that if the connection between the ‘Master’ and the ‘Client’ controllers is interrupted, the
‘Client’ controller loses information from the shared equipment.

House 2
6.1.3 UTC time
The controller uses two different time settings. A local time which the user can set in the menu
Manage-
ment | House data | Adjust date and time
and the so-called UTC (Coordinate Universal Time) which is the in-
ternal time in the controller used, for example, for time-stamping alarms. However, the time viewed by the user
is always the local time.
For controllers in a network the management program FarmOnline Explorer will automatically make sure the
UCT time is correct.
In controllers not in a network or without access to an NTP (Net-
work Time Protocol) server, the UTC time can be adjusted in
the menu
Technical | Service | UTC time
.
UTC is a default setting and both time settings of the controller
are supported by a battery backup function. UTC time thus only
needs to be set in those cases where the climate controllers
have been without battery backup.
Find the current UTC time, for example on the website
