Alarm Hysteresis Type: General Parameter
An adjustable band on the “safe” side of an alarm point, through which the process variable must
pass before the alarm will change state, as shown in the diagram below. E.g. a high alarm’s
hysteresis band is below the high alarm value, and a low alarm’s hysteresis is above the low alarm
value.
