【PM8000】Frequency of synchronization with NTP server

[Miyai]

Hello,

I set the sync interval with the NTP server to "1 day".

However, in reality, synchronization with the NTP server is performed quite often.

Do you know why this happens?

The event is occurring on multiple meters.

The unfortunately named "CL1 NTP Time Sync Interval" can only configure SNTP time sync intervals (not NTP).

Be sure to configure the "CL1 Clock Source" to "Internal" ("COMM" is also acceptable as with NTP enabled it will behave as "Internal"). Never use an external time sync source with the Clock Source configured to "Line Freq".

If you continue to have issues, please contact support for additional troubleshooting steps.
