Alarm Hysteresis

An adjustable band on the "safe" side of an alarm point, through which the process variable
must pass before the alarm will change state, as shown in the diagram below. E.g. a high
alarm's hysteresis band is below the high alarm value, and a low alarm's hysteresis is above
the low alarm value.
Also refer to Alarm Operation.
