DLT Time

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone has issues with the time displayed on DLT's seem to be slower than real time. If so, is there a fix?

Regards

 

If by 'slower', you mean it slowly loses time, so that after a few days / weeks / months is out by a minute or so, its that the unit generating the C-Bus Communication clock is running a bit slower than ideal. This is normal if the only timekeeping units you have are DLTs or C-Touch units, and is a result of the initial tolerance of the quartz crystal oscillator used in C-Bus units that can be clock generators.

If you have a Wiser in your system connected to the internet, the displayed time can be automatically be corrected through a reference to international time standards.

There are no high-accuracy clock-generating units available other than the Wiser solution at the moment

 

Thanks Don,

I do have a wiser connected to the net, is it easy to reference internet time?
