• Delay Before Activating Alarm (HH:MM): If desired, specify
a delay period, in hours and/or minutes, from when a con-

• Notification delays are also set on the Notification tab. If you
enter a time delay on the General Parameters tab, ensure the
combined time delay does not interrupt your alarm noti-

• Acknowledgement Required: Select this option if you
require an individual to acknowledge an alarm (by responding

this option, the alarm will remain active until it is acknow-
ledged. If the alarm condition is no longer present, the unac-
knowledged alarm notification remains in the Alarms window.
