Alpa Jagpal Updated by Alpa Jagpal

Introduction

 On Sunday 27th October 2024 at 2amthe clocks will be going  backward by 1 hour due to the BST Time change.

 The purpose of this document is to ensure that all of your OneAdvanced units connected via a Fire Evacuation System (FES) are correctly updated with the adjusted time on Sunday morning. If you are unsure whether you have a FES System then an example screenshot is shown below:

The time shown on all OneAdvanced units connected to a FES System is taken from the FES unit. The instructions below explain how to setup FES to automatically adjust the BST time.

How to enable the Time Change within FES

Please note that during steps 2, 3 and 4 your fire evacuation system will NOT be active, though it will catch up once you complete step 4.

  1.  On the FES unit, exit the current FES session by Pressing Crtl + F10 together, then when prompted ‘Y’. This will take you to your DOS prompt.
  2. Type IPMENU or (if using FES version 5.00 and above) enter MODMF at the command prompt then press Enter. This should load your Interactive Poller Utilities. If it does not, then type CD IPMF and press Enter.  Then type IPMENU or MODMF (depending on version) and press Enter.
  3. In versions below 5.00 FES, use the arrow keys and then ‘Enter’ key to select “System Parameters” and then “Miscellaneous details”.  Or if version 5.00 and above, just select “Miscellaneous details”.
  4. Then press page down twice and at the bottom of the screen under the section ‘BST changes’ it should contain two changes dates. Ensure the 'back' contains the date 27-10-2024

 Useful tip - In order to avoid having to perform this change again for the Spring Time Change you can enter 30-03-2025 in the Forward section

  1. Press F1 to Accept and the Escape key until you return to the DOS prompt
  2. Then type IPMF to return back to the main FES screen.
