In practice, the delay setting might prevent an alarm completely by smoothing out a short term event. Such an outcome may or may not be desirable.

Reading the manual indicates there is a delay circuit, and you can adjust it. What it does not say is how long. Anyone out there know the possible range of delay time for alarm on an AMS-3?
