This issue - seeing "milliseconds" rather than "seconds" in the user configuration panels of GeoEvent Processor Manager - is only applicable to early adopters who participated in the Beta development of GeoEvent Processor.
The configuration of an installed instance of GeoEvent Processor is not deleted when the product is uninstalled or upgraded. Similar to ArcGIS for Server, which preserves the site's configuration store and server directories, GEP preserves its configurable items (GeoEvent Definitions, GeoFences, Registered Folders, etc.) so that they are available following product re-install or upgrade.
The location of these files is dependent on whether you were unzipping a build of GEP provided by the development team during the Beta phase or are using the product installer made available with the product's release.
If you used the product installer to install GeoEvent Processor, the product's configuration is found in a hidden system folder (C:\Program Data\Esri\GeoEventProcessor on Windows systems). When uninstalling and re-installing the product these files are *not* removed. This is done by design so that configurable items remain configured between upgrades.
In this specific case, a GEP administrator could locate the ...\connectors\connectors.xml and edit the file to change the "Update Interval (milliseconds)" to read "Update Interval (seconds)". This has no effect on what GeoEvent Processor does with the value entered by the user; at the 10.2 release the system is consistently using 'seconds' as the unit for user-provided update and polling intervals.
GEP administrators who want to ensure a clean install should locate and remove the file folders in the screenshot below after uninstalling the product (or stopping the GeoEvent Processor service). These file folders will be re-created when the GeoEvent Processor is next installed or the process's service restarted.

[INDENT]( ! ) Removing these file folders will delete the registered data stores (Server and Folder), web browser certifications, connector templates, event definitions, GeoEvent services ... etc.[/INDENT]
.
[INDENT]( ! ) The connector templates and web browser certifications (...\connectors and ...\certs) will *not* be re-generated unless the product is re-installed. Other file folders are re-created when the GeoEvent Processor service starts if they are missing.[/INDENT]
