Suspend alarm bracketing

Follow this procedure to temporarily suspend bracketing on the collection of points belonging to an alarm bracket set. For example, you would normally suspend bracketing before executing setpoint and command operations in order to avoid nuisance alarms. This provides time for the current value of the point to settle back to a more normal reading.

Note: If a point belongs to more than one alarm bracket set, the application suppresses alarms on the former when you suspend bracketing on one of the associated alarm bracket sets.

To suspend alarm bracketing

1. On the Alarm Bracket Set Summary window, select the row header of the alarm bracket set whose points you want to temporarily suspend from bracketing.

   The Alarm Bracket Set Control dialog box opens.

   

2. In the Suspension Time (s) field, enter the amount of time for which you want to suspend bracketing.

3. Select Suspend.

4. Perform the desired setpoint or command operation within the configured suspension time.

   Note: To cancel suspension during the time over which the suspension of bracketing is in effect, select Cancel Suspension.
