The Alarm Signal Generation Delay is graphically represented as t
3
– t
2
in the figure above to
show the delay due to alarm system strategy and communication time.
The overall alarm system delay time is graphically represented as t
3
– t
1
.
For more information about alarm response delay, refer to IEC 60601-1-8.
