| □ | Mandatory Alarm Condition Codes |
| • | As previously noted, an Alarm Condition Code record describes an Event and/or Alarm Condition, identifies the required Operator Skill needed to process the Alarm Condition, set the Priority level for the monitoring response, and define the Report Printing Options for the Event or Alarm Signal. |
| • | Several Alarm Condition Codes come predefined and should not be deleted. |
| • | Each of these are identified with a trailing (* = System Required) asterisk. |
| • | The chart below lists the required Alarm Condition Codes used by MKMSCS and SPA for the designated purpose: |

Special Alarm Condition Codes listed above are created in the Panel Zones Form
| • | When a Subscriber CSID is entered in Subscriber Panels section of the Central Station Data Form, a Communicator Format is normally identified for that CSID and so these special Mandatory Panel Zones associated with that Communicator Format are automatically "connected" to that CSID. |
| ▪ | However, if no Communicator Format is identified for that CSID in the Subscriber Panels section: |
| ▪ | The Signal ID and Alarm Code Description entries listed in the chart above must instead be defined as CSID Zones |
| ▪ | The appropriate Response instructions (see the Operator Guided Response and Action Plans chapters for more information) must also be identified for each Account (CSID) that has not been assigned a Communicator Format. |
| • | As noted above, these same Signal IDs and Alarm Code Descriptions must also be defined as Alarm Condition Codes to ensure that MKMSCS and SPA can properly track, manage and report the failure to occur of a Scheduled Event. |
| • | These are normally included in the initial installation, but it's a good idea to confirm that all of them were installed successfully. |
| □ | Some Alarm Condition Codes may also be mandatory for the proper operation of SPA - The Signal Processing Application. |
