7.5.3 Specifying the Alarm Delay – Optional

If you specify an alarm delay, then when the controller detects an alarm condition, the

alarm output will not be activated until the alarm delay time has passed. Use the alarm

delay to reduce nuisance alarms for transient conditions that are corrected without any

operator action.

Parameter Name

Description:

Used to specify the number of seconds the controller should wait

before signaling an alarm condition.

7.5.4 Inhibiting the Alarm– Optional

Unless the output will be used to signal a ramp/soak event, you can configure an inhibit

time for the alarm. If you specify an alarm inhibit time, the controller will not activate the

alarm output following power up until the alarm inhibit time has elapsed. This is

particularly useful for preventing activation of low alarms during startup (before the

process has had time to reach operating temperature).
