Setting Time on the Intelli-Hood system
There are several Intelli-Hood functions, such as Schedules, that are most useful if the
Intelli-Hood system is set for the correct time. The Intelli-Hood system can synchronize
time using the Network Time Protocol. However, typical installations will segregate the
BACnet network from outside internet access. In these instances you can set the Intelli-
Hood system’s time from your Operator’s Workstation.
The Intelli-Hood system supports the UTC Time Synchronization service. Follow your
Operator Workstation’s instructions on how to set a Device Object’s time using UTC Time
Synchronization. The Intelli-Hood system has a separate configuration parameter for its
time zone, so there is no need to update the UTC offset through the Operator’s
Workstation.
If you are setting the Intelli-Hood system’s time in this manner, it is suggested that the
time be updated often to keep the Intelli-Hood system’s time in sync. Setting the time
once per day should be sufficient.
