4.3.3 Alarm Thresholds

Each of the 3 alarm thresholds can be programmed independently for each channel (see "Channel programming"
menu).

During normal operation a gas alarm is triggered only after a preprogrammed lag time, so as to avoid untimely alarms.

The alarm thresholds can be dealt with in the following ways:

during a normal cycle with manual cancellation

during a normal cycle with automatic cancellation

during a parking cycle

The alarm thresholds are selected based on the detected gases and the corresponding standards in force.
