detector's set point. - ANSWERRestorable Heat Detector
Any alarm that occurs that is not the result of a potentially hazardous condition is known
as - ANSWERUnwanted Alarm
smoke detectors must be functionally tested: - ANSWERAnnually
smoke alarms or smoke detectors are requird at what locations? - ANSWERIn each
sleeping room, outside each sleeping room, and on each level
A Class X circuit is a redundant pathway that only applies to addressable fire alarm

T/F? - ANSWERTRUE
When installing a smoke detector for door release service and the depth of the wall
above the door is greater than 24 inches on one side only, we must install _____
ceiling-mounted detector(s) on the higher side or ____ wall-mounted detector(s) (one on
each side of the doorway - ANSWER1, 2
, During a power outage, the secondary power source for a smoke or heat alarm must be
capable of supplying power for 7 days in the normal condition.
T/F? - ANSWERTRUE
Smoke detectors in elevator lobbies, hoistways or machine rooms can be used to
activate the elevator recall function. Other fire detectors may be permitted if ambient
conditions in those locations prohibit the use of smoke detectors.
T/F? - ANSWERTrue

26
A public mode audible signal shall have a sound level of at least ____ dBA above the
average ambient sound level or ____ dBA above the maximum sound level whichever
is greatest. - ANSWER15,5
Audible alarm appliances must be tested with: - ANSWERA sound pressure level
measurement device
Smoke detectors can only be tested using an aerosol if: - ANSWERThe aerosol is
acceptable to the manufacturer
A fire alarm system for the private operating mode can be described as: -
ANSWEROnly sounded at a constantly attended station to allow investigation and/or
action by the attendants
What is the maximum permitted spacing between two heat detectors when the
detectors have a listed spacing of 50 ft. and the ceiling height the detectors will be
mounted on has a height of 28 ft, 4 inches? - ANSWER17 ft.
per ceiling height above 28 ft. and up to and including 30 ft., we must multiply the
detector's listed spacing by 0.34. 50- ft. spacing x 0.34 = 17 ft.
