4.3.3 Alarm Delay switch (SW3):
The detector is equipped with an Alarm Delay option, which provides
programmable time delays of 0 to 30 seconds with eight (8) fixed settings at: 0,
anti-flare, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 seconds, using SW3 switches 1-3. See table 10.
When an Alarm (Detection) level condition is encountered, the detector delays the
execution of the Alarm output relay by the specified period of time. The detector
will then evaluate the condition for 3 seconds. If the Alarm level is still present, the
Alarm output will be activated. If this condition no longer exists, the detector will
return to its standby state. The Alarm delay option will affect the output relay and
the 4-20mA output but not the alarm LED.
