    Hi ALL, this is my first post..

    I am presenlty in Bahrain... I tried to setup the correct time to be displayed on the DLT switch, which is now
    1 hour past the current time. I tried for options in the c-bus toolkit, but couldn't find any.

    What is the correct way to do it? I read in some other forum that if i change the time on c-touch using PICED, the time on all the connected c-bus devices would also change.

    pls. advice

    regards
    shakir.

    What method are you using to set the time?

    It is best to set the time on a device that has a built-in real-time clock, such as a touchscreen. It will then broadcast the time, including any daylight savings offsets, onto the network.

    Page 9 of the DLT User Guide explains it. Hold down the 5th button for 10 seconds, set the time and press the OK button.

    You only need to do this on one DLT. All DLT's on the network will receive the same time.

    You cannot intentionally have multiple C-Bus devices on a single network showing a different time to each other. You will need to split your network up into multiple networks if you wish to do this.
