Input Contact Reset
If
Positive Edge or Negative Edge
trigger mode is selected in the

alarm condition is detected on the digital input, it will ‘Latch’ the condition – i.e. it will stay in alarm mode until
manually reset. Selecting this menu, and hitting the
Reset Trigger
button for the relevant contact, will reset the
digital input to it’s non- alarm state.
