Q

What is the difference between a “duress code” and a “hold up alarm”?

A

Duress is silent set by alarming system keypad.

Hold up alarm is set by a button under a desk.

22
Q

Explain where the resistor is placed for an open loop and closed loop door contact

A

open is parallel

closed in 60L series

23
Q

An earthquake is a potential cause for what kind of frequency that may cause problems for a security system?

A

seismic, shock sensor

24
Q

What makes an access control system so beneficial and effective?

A

No one needs to man a station to let people in because of a lost key - you don’t have to re-key the lock.

25
Q

What type of access control card has a memory?

A

Smart card

26
Q

What type of access control credential is most difficult to duplicate?

A

Biometric

27
Q

What term is used to describe when a biometric reader accepts an invalid biometric input?

A

False acceptance

28
Q

What are the terms used to describe the types of magnetic contacts normal state, and which is the most common?

A

N/O - closed loop - most common

N/C - open loop

29
Q

Where must a smoke detector be placed in an elevator lobby?

A

within 21’ of center or door

30
Q

Explain the difference between a control module and a relay module used in fire alarm systems.

A

Control - supervised and unsupervised - activates by programming or manually.
Relay has dry contacts to be activated.

31
Q

When installing a smoke/heat detector on a wall, the top of the device shall be how far from the ceiling and why?

A

4” - 12” because smoke rolls.

32
Q

What device is used for two-way communication to the FCC?

A

fireman’s phone.

33
Q

Duct smoke detectors are permitted to generate what two types of signals?

A

alarm and supervisory

34
Q

What NFPA volume and section covers power limited fire alarm wiring?

A

NFP70, Section 760

35
Q

A fire alarm system dialer has what requirements for the communication pathways connected to that dialer.

A

A minimum of two lines for communication, one dedicated and one for RS31X

36
Q

Control relays and modules must be installed within ____ from the equipment they are controlling.

A

3’

37
Q

In a new construction home, name three areas where a smoke detector is required.

A

Bedrooms, hallway outside bedroom, one on every level

38
Q

List three circuits that you are not allowed to combine with power limited fire alarm.

A

Light and power
Power Class 1
Non-power limited FA

39
Q

40
Q 
List the alternate names for the following NFPA volumes:
70
72
99
101

101 - Life Safety

41
Q

List examples of the AHJ.

A

Fire Marshall, Building Inspector

42
Q

Describe why instructions for installing a roller plunger contact call for it to be installed on the hinge side of a door.

A

because of warp or play - it protects it from paint.

43
Q

What are the three most common types of fire alarm circuits and describe their operation.

A

IDC - carrier signals from input devices.
SLC - signals in data format to panel
NAC - notification devices

44
Q

Describe the term “fail safe” and explain why it is important for fire control functions.

A

In the event of a specific type of failure, the systems respond in a way that will cause no or minimal harm to other equipment, the environment or to people. The doors will unlock.

45
Q

What scales are used to measure sound pressure level and light intensity of audio visual devices?

A

decibles and candela - note to Justin… this is an essay - do they want more info?

46
Q

Why does a fire alarm IDC circuit monitor for grounds and opens, but not for short circuits?

A

It looks for EOL. Short = alarm

Q

What are Fire Command Centers used for and what equipment can be located in that facility?

A

For firemen’s phones, - control units, security equipment associated with FA.

48
Q

List the two types of wiring methods for fire alarm circuit survivability.

A

C1 and M1

49
Q

What is the difference between public signaling mode and private signaling mode?

A

Public notifies everyone 15dBa and above ambiant, above 5dBA max sound lasting 60 seconds or more.
Private notifies everyone 10dBa and above ambiant, above 5dBA max sound lasting 60 seconds or more.

50
Q

Define elevator shunt trip.

A

Stops elevators before water flows into the hoist ways.

51
Q

Describe the wiring requirements for Classes A, B, C, D and X fire alarm circuits.

A

A - must have a redundant path (return) to panel
B - doesn’t have a redundant path - connected tin parallel, EOL used.
C - must have a redundant path, not monitored for integrity (LAN).
D - fail safe - used for safely control functions.
X - must have a redundant path (return) to panel (same as Class A) uses isolation modules between devices - used where extremely high reliability is desired.
