External Alarm Input - GE 40 User Manual

When setting up the alarm relay output, you need to set the alarm output time delay. This delay is the
time that the alarm output continues after the alarm itself has been deactivated. Consequently the
actual alarm output time consists of the alarm input time and alarm output time delay.
