DELAYED ALARM REPORTING
Any status channel can be configured to delay alarm reporting for a preconfigured duration, as specified under the
Alarm Delay heading. When a delay is configured, the status channel must be continuously in the alarm state for
the duration of the delay before the alarm will be logged or reported by the ARC Plus.
REARM DELAY
The ARC Plus has a built-in mechanism to reduce multiple alarm reports due to a single alarm event. A status
channel in alarm must remain in its normal state for a period of time before a new alarm is issued on that channel.
Use the Rearm Delay column to specify this period.
ALARM SEVERITY
Status alarms may be configured as warning alarms or critical alarms. Both types of alarms are reported in the
same ways (front panel, email notifications, dial-out behavior, etc.). The designation as warning or critical simply
aids in prioritizing alarm response, or reviewing past alarm activity.
ALARM PRIORITY
Alarm priority is used for sorting alarms in a large system. If you wish, you may assign any value to this field.
