Section 4: Glossary of Control Functions
Restart Delay
The length of time between a request to turn ON a unit and when the
unit is actually turned ON. Also the length of time between the start of
each successive unit after power is applied or restored. This delay
prevents an excessive inrush current demand on the power source.
Restart Delay is typically very short and is user selectable from the
display. Range—0.1 to 60 minutes, in increments of 0.1 minute (6
seconds).
Restore
To return a Forced ON or Forced OFF unit to normal control. Refer to
Override.

Interval. Standby Testing ON/OFF, Interval (in days), and time of day
for testing are user selected from the display. Standby Testing and
Autosequencing cannot both be ON at the same time.
Each time a test is performed, the Standby unit(s) operate for a time
equal to the Hold Delay plus the Alarm Delay. At the end of this period

correct itself by the end of the test time, an alarm is displayed and
annunciated.
