1) 
Response time to a change of signal by the air pressure switch (opens) and response time in the event of loss of flame 
2) 
Response time to a change of signal by the inputs (e.g. pressure switch-min) 
3) 
Flame detection time 
4) 
Minimum time td1 + td2 + td3 + td4 if: Parameter P241.00 = 1 (ON), after power ON, with lockout, P234 (postpurge time) = 0 (postpurging) or P241.01 = 0 
5) 
Minimum time td1 + td2 + td3 + td4 if: Parameter P241.00 = 1 (ON) and P234 (postpurge time) >0 (postpurging) and P241.01 = 1
