Inspection Delay
The Inspection Delay setting allows an optional delay period between
triggering a call point and the site wide alarm being raised. This can
allow time for the incident to be validated on site, and a decision to be
made to either
 i)conrmalarmisgenuine,raisesitewidealarmand 
evacuate site, or
 ii)conrmfalseactivation,cancelthealarmandreturnto
normal (non-alarm) state.
