When that duration has ended, if the second alarm input is active, the auxiliary output will
continue to be active. Unlike the auxiliary duration response for sensor warnings and alarms
whose duration can differ from the sensor warning and alarm duration, setting the Alarm
duration will determine the duration of the actual alarm.
The duration selections range from 0 to 4 hours, follow and indefinitely. If duration of 0 is
selected, the alarm event will be recorded in the log, but no auxiliary output will be present. If a
timed duration is selected, the alarm condition and auxiliary output will remain active for that
selected period. If “Follow” is selected, the auxiliary output will remain active for the as long as
the alarm is active. If “Indefinite” is selected, the Aux will need to be manually reset through
software or the Status View screen control.
Manually terminating the auxiliary duration for a hard contact alarm event will also terminate the
alarm. The Event Log will record the alarm start time and the time the event was terminated by
either the programmed auxiliary duration or manually.
