It is standard to establish the desired threshold or setpoint to trigger an alarm when a condition is
met. Triggering an alarm repeatedly in a short period, however, can produce unwanted results, such
as having the alarm flip between inactive and active several times and triggering unwanted actions
tied to that alarm as a result. Additionally, the constant alarm email notifications may result in an
email service shut down.
To solve the alarm chattering issue, Omega has implemented a Deadband feature into the Omega
Link Cloud. Also known as hysteresis, the deadband establishes a range, or threshold, of values from
the setpoint that the Omega Link Cloud will accept before the alarm is triggered. The deadband
threshold can either be defined as an absolute value or as a percentage of the setpoint value.

Figure 34: Setpoint as a percentage
Figure 35: Setpoint as an absolute value
settings is expressed as a percentage. For example, if a user
enters a value of 5 in the deadband text box, a range of
+5% to -5% from the threshold has been established and the
alarm will not be triggered within that region.
In OEG, the deadband feature in the alarm settings is expressed as
an absolute value. For example, if a user enters a value of 5 in the
Deadband text box, a range of +5 to -5 from the threshold has
been established and the alarm will not be triggered within that
region.
