Alarm Monitor Displays - Alarms are counting:

Alarms Have Occurred:

Alarm Status shows the current status of recorder lines. It can be either:

The number of alarms that have occurred is shown next to "Lines now in Alarm", along with a clock with moving alarm bells to indicate the alarm.

Alarms Counting:

The number of alarms currently counting  is shown next to "Lines now Counting", along with the time remaining before the next alarm time delay expires.
If more than one alarm is counting, "Time until next Alarm" will show the shortest time until the next alarm, and then will reset to the next time counting down as each alarms time left reaches zero. 

Note: If an alarm is counting, its time remaining is only valid if the alarm remains outside of setpoints. If it returns to a normal condition the alarm will no longer be counting and thus will be removed from the "Lines Counting" list. This will especially be true for alarms on lines that are being defrosted, as they will show counting while being defrosted and will no longer be there once the defrost has finished.
