'Declaration
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property PowerFailDelayTime As Integer

public abstract int PowerFailDelayTime { get; }

/** @property */

public abstract function get PowerFailDelayTime () : int

Remarks

PowerFailDelayTime contains the time in milliseconds for power failure intervals that will not create a power failure situation. In some countries/regions, the power supply is sometimes interrupted for short intervals. Those short intervals range from milliseconds up to several seconds, and are handled by batteries or other electric equipment and should not cause a power failure situation. The power failure interval starts when the POS terminal is turned off or detached from the power supply and runs on battery power. The power failure interval ends when the POS terminal is again turned on and attached to the power supply. However, if the power failure interval is longer than the time specified in the PowerFailDelayTime property, a power failure situation is created.

Because this is usually a configuration parameter of the underlying power management, the application can only read this property.

PowerFailDelayTime is typically initialized to 0. It should then be updated by the service object based on the capabilities of the device.
