In the integrated system, the use of SiPass Alarm Classes requires a special at-
tention. In fact, MM8000/MK8000 can receive and then present the SiPass events
only if:
 Alarm Class Type is Input (no Outputs, Access or any other type)
 Alarm Handling is set to "Require Acknowledging"
 Alarm Options do not include the "Restorable Alarm"
 The definition includes all the possible input states of the object (e.g.: Door
forced and Door held, etc.)
In general, whenever possible, we recommend not configuring any Alarm
Classes in SiPass. When necessary, specific needs cases can be handled as fol-
lows:
 For Input Alarm events, use SiPass Input activation status, assigning a cate-
gory, e.g. Alarm, in the Event and OP Extensor tab of the Composer point.
 In other cases, you can use controller event tasks to activate an assigned input
and then, in turn, use this input to generate a message to MM8000/MK8000.
This approach allows getting the current Input state properly displayed in MM8000
(or processed by MK8000) and the event being closed only when the correspond-
ing Input is in quiet state. Also, the same event is used for subsequent triggers, i.e.
if the input is re-activated while the event is still open. The event handling in
MM8000 is therefore fully standard.
