IV.C.11.h. Channel Latch Attribute
By selecting the Latch attribute (Yes or No toggle using the SELECT key), an alarm
condition detected on any Input channel may be latched in for the duration of the call
sequence. If an Input channel is selected as a Latched channel, a momentary
occurrence of a fault will be retained by the system until a successful acknowledgment
is obtained. Terminate the entry by moving the cursor from the cell being programmed.
IV.C.11.i.
Channel Alarm Condition
Although not available as programmable field for the Power Failure Channel, the
Condition value shows the ALARM or NORMAL condition of each channel.

Power Failure Channel Specific Snooze Period
The Channel Specific Snooze Period overrides the System level Snooze Period. The
