Wait (Recognition) Time: This is the time required for a fault condition to qualify as an alarm event. The sensor/channel

must remain beyond the limits or in a fault condition continuously for this entire period of time in order to become an

alarm.
Reset Time: This is the time allowed for an acknowledged alarm’s fault condition to be corrected before the IMS-4000 resets

(reactivates) the alarm and begins the message delivery process all over again. The minimum reset time is 30 minutes.
Alarm on Return to Normal: This feature makes the unit send a message (or messages) when a condition has moved within

its programmed alarm limits or has gone from an alarm state to a Normal state. The person who acknowledged the alarm—

in addition to all Inform Only contacts in the alarm class—will receive the message.
SNMP Trap Level: When sending alarm messages via SNMP, this sets the priority of the SNMP trap. The choices are Major

or Minor.

When an alarm occurs, you can have PowerGate or PowerGate2 outlets automatically turn ON, turn OFF, or CYCLE power

to a device. Cycling will switch an outlet OFF for 10 seconds and then switch it back ON. To set up a PowerGate, click the
