Delay Before First Call

The Delay Before the First Call is the length of time that a logger will wait before dialing out
once an alarm condition has occurred. If you do not want the remote logger to dial out
immediately when one or more of its channels go into an alarm condition, you can set the Call
Delay to designate the number of seconds the logger has to wait before dialing. The
maximum time for this delay is 2040 seconds.
The alarm condition must exist for the entire delay time, otherwise the logger will not dial out.
If the logger comes out of an alarm condition during the call delay period, the delay timer will
stop and will start again from zero at the next alarm event. This is useful in limiting temporary
or false alarm triggering.
To set this delay, click on the Delay Before First Call field and enter the value.

Delay Between Calls

The Delay Between Calls is the time between successive calls. A logger will continue to dial
out after every delay period as long as an alarm condition exists and has not been
acknowledged by backing up the logger.
