Honeywell L5210: Setting Date & Time

This video walk through will show you how to set the date and time on your Honeywell L5210 touch screen control panel.

One of the first things that you will do after installing your Honeywell L5210 control panel is set the date and time. If you ever find yourself in the need to change this our video will show you how.

Perhaps you have a used system with a previous date and time set, or maybe the initial set up was defined incorrectly. Whatever the case or reason, you can easily set the date and time to the correct settings. Follow along with our video to find out how.

Unlike the installer code used to access deeper level programming such as sensors and zone definitions, you will use the master code to access the master code menu. The master code is the code used to arm and dis arm the system and other top level functions of the program.

The first step to changing the date and time is to access the correct menu. To do this, follow along with our video as we press the home button beneath the touch screen. You will the follow the menu choices on the touch screen to access the “Security” menu then pressing the “More” button in the bottom right and finally “Tools.”

On the new screen that appears you will use the touch pad to enter your master code PIN. The video will show you how to do this, if you are not familiar with the system.

Enter the master code to view the master code programming options menu. As we discuss in the video, if the screen jumps back to the home screen instead of the master code menu, it means you have entered the wrong master code PIN.

Likewise, if you see a text only menu it means you have entered the installer code PIN instead of the master code PIN. Ensure you use the correct PIN for the master code menu.

On the master code menu, as the video will show, press the Date/Time button on the bottom left of the screen.

The first screen that appears is the date screen. Using the touch screen select the month, year and day on the calendar. Once you verify that the date is correct, press the down arrow key on the right hand side of the screen to access the time screen.

As we show in the video, enter the correct time using the keypad and the am/pm toggle button. Before pressing the save button you need to press the down arrow again to select the time zone.

Once you have entered the correct time zone and daylight savings information as shown in the video, you can hit the save button. From here you just press the back button until you are shown the home screen once again. After a quick reboot the system will display the new date and time.
