Alarm Hysteresis
1. Alarm Hysteresis determines when the alarm is going to be out of the
alarm condition. Alarm hysteresis prevents actuation of nuisance, or
recurrent, alarms. Hysteresis is either added or subtracted to the alarm
point, depending on whether a HI or LO ALARM has been set.
For example: If hysteresis is set at 1 degree and the HI alarm has been
set to trigger when the temperature reaches 100 degrees FAHRENHEIT,
the alarm will trigger at 100 degrees. As soon as the temperature drops
below 99 degrees the alarm condition will terminate.
