How to Set the Location and Time Zone
The selections you make for latitude, longitude, and time zone (in conjunction
with the sunset/sunrise solar calculation type) enable the recorder to make
adjustments and determine a specific sunrise and sunset time for each day.
NOTE : When you import a program with custom coordinates, a new prefix, UTC
settings, and other check box items from the Configuration Settings section of the
SM3 Configurator software, the new values from the program automatically replace the
original settings on the recorder.
You can specify the local time zone (as used to set the clock) in hours relative to
UTC (Universal Time Coordinated). Half and quarter time zones (:00, :15, :30, :45)
are also supported.
NOTE : The recorder does not automatically adjust for daylight savings time.
