7.6.4 Principle of the detection modes
➢
In cumulative mode,
an alarm is detected when the total temperature threshold alarm time is higher than
the set duration parameter.
With a threshold excess duration, t

➢
In successive mode,
an alarm is detected when the continuous temperature threshold alarm time is
higher than the set duration parameter.
With a threshold excess duration, t

= 10 measurement periods, one gets

threshold
Regardless of the mode selected, an alarm may be detected immediately if the threshold alarm
duration is set to zero.
In addition, it is possible to reset the threshold detection, by deactivating and re-activating it.
