❑The Alarm Activity Report (designed and documented to comply with the Third Edition UL® 1981 Standard) provides many options to selectively Choose the Alarm Signal Activity data that will be included on the report.
•Understanding the differences between the words Passive Signals, Active Signals, and Signal Activity:
a)Passive Signals - Those Signals received by the MKMSCS system which are able to be processed automatically by SPA (e.g., Restoral received On Time, Opening received On Time, Closing received On Time, Supervised Test received On Time) and therefore require no Operator intervention.
b)Active Signals - Those Signals received by the MKMSCS system which do require an Operator to process (i.e., Burglary, Fire, and Panic Signals as well as Failed to Open, Failed to Close, Failed to Test, Failed to Restore, etc. Signals).
c)Signal Activity - Any Passive Signal, and/or Active Signal, and/or System Message.
