Geist Watchdog 1000 Series Instruction Manual page 23

Analysis of each unit is recommended before setting alarm thresholds as some of the values
monitored by the unit are relative values, whose scale will differ slightly between units. Allow each
unit to operate under normal, steady-state conditions for several hours before setting alarm
thresholds. By allowing the sensors to operate for several hours, the user can better understand
what the normal variations are; thereby allowing the user to choose alarm thresholds that will not
trigger numerous false alarms.
Note: Changes in settings take a few moments to become active. Rapidly resetting alarm values may not
provide the desired results. Allow up to 2 minutes after changing a setting before modifying it again.
