Model SHKE8000-7 & SHKE8000-8CE - An alarm time delay of 3.5
hours is activated when the unit is first turned on or when the temperature
setpoint is changed to allow adequate time for the heating or refrigeration
system to recover to the setpoint. The delay is reduced to 20 minutes when
the temperature is within the temperature setpoint alarm band. See Section
3 for further information on setting the tracking alarm.
