# Common Alarm Trip Delay

This parameter allows the user to establish a Common Alarm Trip Delay value. When set the Alarm Trip Delay for all channels is overwritten with this value.

Caution: If you want any channels to have their own different Alarm Trip Delay, you must go to the Channels Setting dialog box and enter, or re-enter, the desired individual value after changing this common value.

Be sure to review the topic Alarm Trip Delay for important information on the effects of network scan time upon effective trip delay.

Note that this Alarm Trip Delay does not apply to power failure alarm; there is a separate setting for power failure alarms.
