6.5.8 Setting the Date and Time
You can adjust the Alpha FXM date and time.
Table M — Setting the Date and Time
Description Enter command UPS display
Query time clock and press Enter *clock=12/31/07 22:00:00 (format of the response depends on
user's choice of date format and 12 or 24 hour clock)
Change time clock=MMDDYY hhmmss
and press Enter
Date format "MMDDYY" is
constant and does not reflect
currently selected date format.
Time hours "hhmmss" is always
in 24 hour format regardless of
whether user set 12 or 24 hour
clock.
FXM replies with time entered but it could be in a format that is
different from the format of the set time command.
For example, to set time to Jan 02, 2011, 05:30:00 pm:
clock=010211 173000 and press Enter
Response if YYYY-MM-DD date format and 12hr clock are selected:
clock=2011-JAN-02 05:30:00pm
Notes:
1. Time is displayed in the 12 or 24 hours format depending on user settings.
2. Changing the mm/dd/yy format with DATE FRMT on the LCD Control menu does not change the USB mm/dd/yy for-
mat.
3. If the Alpha FXM has been in storage or switched off for a prolonged period, the backup Lithium coin battery could
be drained and may not correctly keep a backup of the date and time you entered. After switching on the Alpha FXM
check the date and time settings. The Alpha FXM should display the current date and time. If it displays the date as
"00:01:00", then the battery is spent and you need to ask a qualified service personnel to replace the lithium coin
battery. See "Table P — Alarm Submenu" on page 78.
* Indicates that the Alpha FXM has responded to the command you entered.
† If the date or time change is invalid, the Alpha FXM will return the time and date it was set to before you tried making the
change. The date and time must be entered as one complete line command. You cannot change only the time or the date
alone. Both must be set at the same time. If you make a mistake, press Enter and try again.
