whether to show or hide the alarm indication when an alarm occurs. If set to Off, a
signal is output to the alarm output relay or internal switch when an alarm occurs, but
it is not indicated on the screen. The alarm is also not recorded in the alarm summary,
and alarms are not displayed by the alarm annunciator (release number 3 or later).
• Alarmdelay>Time(fordelayhigh/lowlimitalarms)
Set the alarm delay time using an integer in the range of 1 to 3600 s.

within the range of 1 to 3600 seconds or 1 to 24 hours.
