Configuring Alarm Options
You can configure general alarm and event settings that determine how the system handles alarms during startup and how long alarms and events remain in the alarm historian.
To configure general alarm options:
1. Go to Edit > Alarms > Groups.
2. In the Initial Disable Time, enter how long the system should wait during startup before considering an alarm state to be an alarm.
•During startup, a device may show an alarm, because the device has not yet initialized. This setting tells the system to wait the configured amount of time to let the system complete its startup, before the system considers alarms.
3. In the Life Time field, enter how long the alarm historian retains the alarm data, in days.
