To set the chassis clock, perform the following steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Chassis Time field.

2. Enter the time in this 24-hour format: HH:MM:SS

3. Press ENTER to set the system clock to the time in the input field.

4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press 

ENTER.

If the time entered is a valid format, the Event Message Line at the top of the screen displays 
“SAVED OK”. If the entry is not valid, Local Management does not alter the current value and 
refreshes the Chassis Time field with the previous value.

The screen refresh time is set from 3 to 99 seconds with a default of 3 seconds. To set a new screen

4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press 

ENTER.

If the time entered is within the 3 to 99 seconds range, the Event Message Line at the top of the 
screen displays “SAVED OK”. If the entry is not valid, Local Management does not alter the 
current setting, but it does refresh the Screen Refresh Time field with the previous value, and the 
valid range will be displayed.

NOTE: When entering the time in the system time field, separators between hours, 
minutes, and seconds do not need to be added as long as each entry uses two numeric
