Flight Detent
Are you talking about 30 seconds from lift off which in this case is also from engine fail? Below from Airbus:
(When engine fails after V1) since aircraft is in flight phase 4 or 5 the only thing that is triggered on ECAM is "ENGINE START SEL....IGN" all other appropriate procedures beginning by "THRUST LEVER....IDLE" will be shown in flight phase 6 (1500feet AGL) or 30 seconds after lift off. These logics ensure that aircraft is above the required 400 feet AGL before the ECAM procedure is initiated."
Same thing you will observe if engine fails below 1500 feet during go round. The ECAM appears after 30 seconds or at1500 feet. So ECAM ACTIONS themselves appear after this 30 seconds. The timing we are talking starts when we manually put the Engine start Selector to ignition. However the calculation of those 30 seconds given by OP DES is correct.
