7.5.11Set Up Delay Time

Each sensor may be set up with a specified time delay between the triggering of a high or low setpoint—a monitored sensor crosses the high or low setpoint threshold—and any response by the AC8. This fea- ture can prevent transient conditions from prompting unnecessary responses.

This delay is the amount of time that must elapse before the AC8 acknowledges the change in the monitored sensor and takes any fur- ther action, such as dialing configured pagers. The default time delay is 1 second (displayed as 00 MIN : 01 SEC).

The time delay applies to the triggering of a high or low setpoint and also after the monitored sensor returns to its normal state. When the monitored device returns to its normal state, the specified time delay must elapse before the AC8 acknowledges the return-to-normal condi- tion.

•From the Setup Sensor Menu, choose Sensor Delay, as shown at right, and press Enter ↵ .

•To change the time delay in minutes and seconds (in the range of 00:00 to 99:59):
