Xanbus devices’ clocks and could trigger unintentional time-based events, such
as a generator starting.
Ensure that you set the InsightFacility clock and time zone before performing
any other commissioning steps, refer to Changing the Time on page 42 for
instructions.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
