LEVEL
W- DELAY
A- DELAY
Note: to receive an alarm on the relay outputs, the alarms must be properly configured.
1. Warning Delay (W-DELAY) is programmable between 0 and 599 seconds.
2. Alarm Delay (A-DELAY) is programmable between 1 and 600 seconds.
The warning-delay should always be less than the alarm-delay. When a warning-delay is entered which is larger
than the alarm-delay, the alarm-delay will automatically be set to the warning-delay-time + 1 second.
It is good practice to disable Alarms for items that do not need to be monitored. For example, if you are using
IP- IN and are not connected to a Satellite feed, then disable the SAT- IN related alarms.

DECODER: the PSI, AUDIO, BACKUP and DATA parameters for all channels.


After selection, in the EDIT mode, each selected item (MODE, LEVEL, WARNING DELAY and ALARM
DELAY) can be independently set (see examples below). Hover over a field underlined "............" to see the
