REFERENCE
When an alarm occurs, it produces an output pulse which can be configured to trigger a discrete output (such
as a relay). Refer to Section 4.11 for instructions.

point is the value which is measured against the alarm set point.
HYSTERESIS
OFF or number
Hysteresis affects only the point at which an alarm clears. A high
alarm will clear when the input is less than the set point minus the
hysteresis value. A low alarm will clear when the input is greater than
the set point plus the hysteresis value. A deviation alarm will clear
when the input is less than the set point minus the hysteresis value.

DELAY TIME
OFF or number
If the alarm condition clears before the delay time (in seconds)
expires, no alarm will be indicated. Delay time must be in multiples of
