EMCP4.1/EMCP4.2 Caterpillar

The EMCP 4.2 has an internal real-time clock that is used for time-stamping events and programmable cycle timer. After the internal battery fails, the real-time clock will continue to keep time only when the control battery power is connected. If the control battery power is disconnected, then the real-time clock must be reprogrammed when the EMCP 4 is powered up again.

Changing the Time/Date

The EMCP 4.2 clocks allow the time/date to be modified. Changing the time/date will change the timestamp on all future events, but not for existing events. (For example, an event that has occurred previously will still show the same first time/date, but if it occurs again after the time/date has been adjusted, the last time/date will reflect the change.)

This procedure must be performed on the EMCP 4 display. This procedure cannot be done using the Cat ET. In order to update time/date, level 1 access is required.

To change the time/date, follow the Steps below:

Changing the Date Format

Note: This preference does not affect operation of the EMCP 4 or the data as viewed in Cat ET. It only affects how the date is displayed on the EMCP 4 display and the format of the event time stamps.
