Note: Have the conguration information to hand
Note: When you enter the System Setup menu, a conguration timeout is active separate to the user login
timeout. If no values are sent to the system for 20 minutes, you will be logged out of conguration. If a rst
time channel conguration has not been completed, all changes will be erased and the channel will be
decommissioned.

any alarms and output channels will not execute any actions.
