300 Defines how many seconds the alarm reset condition 
is active. If the alarm condition has not cleared within 
this time, the alarm will be re-activated  without any 
further delay (Buzzer, and if configured, also the relay)
0: The alarm reset function is disabled.
5.6.2  Alarm reset duration This defines how long the alarm reset is active (alarm acknowledged).

5.7.1  Room mode
For each sensor head two alarm thresholds 
are available for free definition. If the gas 
concentration is higher than the set alarm 
threshold, the associated alarm is activated. If the 
gas concentration falls below the alarm threshold 
inclusive hysteresis, the alarm is reset again.
The hysteresis of both alarm is 5% of the default 
alarm threshold (e.g. with 5000 ppm this 
corresponds to 250 ppm).
Note: With propane (R290), the alarm status 
will not auto-clear if the measured ppm-value 
has exceeded the max-range of the sensor 
element. In this case the concentration may be as 
indicated OR it may still be above the max-range. 
The alarm must be manually cleared and the 
room checked before entry.
For setting the alarm delay for Critical and 
Warning alarms.
This function is only available for measuring point 2 (MP2). It defines if the sensors share the critical 
relay and the warning relay (both sensors mounted in same room) or each sensor has 1 critical relay 
each (two rooms with one sensor).
In the menu structure, this setting is accessible under sensor 2 only (MP2).
