Site location and time

Selecting a site location is important as this setting is used to determine the site’s local time for scheduled tasks.

In a new project, the map will display the Pharos Controls office location to start with though the location is only set once a user has selected the Site’s actual location.

  • Navigate around the map until you can see where the location of the site is

  • Click on the map where the location of the site is

  • If the pin looks to be correct and the address preview looks accurate click the checkmark to accept that location

One a location is set the following information will be filled:

  • Latitude: the latitude of the site

  • Longitude: the longitude of the site

  • Geo address: an address for the site from the lat and long above. This address doesn’t need to be exactly accurate for the site to function correctly but should be as accurate as possible. This address is calculated on the Pharos Cloud servers.

  • UTC offset: the calculated UTC offset of the site from the lat long

  • Time zone: the calculated time zone of the site from the lat long

Three types of notification are currently available; connection, error, and warning. Users can choose which notifications to receive across a site on a per controller basis, or, using the context site notification all controllers within the current site.

Connection
