ALARM NOTIFICATION APPLIANCE - Correct Answer ✔✔ A fire alarm system
component, such as a bell, horn, speaker, light, text display or vibration device that
issues an audible, tactile, and/or visual alert.
ALARM SIGNAL - Correct Answer ✔✔ A signal indicating an emergency requiring
immediate action, such as a signal indicative of fire.
ANTIFREEZE SPRINKLER SYSTEM - Correct Answer ✔✔ A wet pipe sprinkler system
employing automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that contains an
antifreeze solution
and is connected to a water supply. The antifreeze solution is discharged, followed by
water, immediately upon operation of sprinklers opened by heat from a fire.
AUTOMATIC BALL DRIP - Correct Answer ✔✔ An automatic drain valve horizontally
installed at the low point in the piping between the lower check valve and the Fire
Department connection of automatic sprinkler systems. Water pressure from a Fire
Department pumper automatically closes this valve. It automatically re-opens when
pressure ceases, permitting this piping to drain and thereby preventing freezing.
CENTRAL STATION - Correct Answer ✔✔ A facility that receives alarm signals from a
protected premises and retransmits or otherwise reports such alarm signals to the
department.
COMBINATION STANDPIPE AND SPRINKLER SYSTEM - Correct Answer ✔✔ A
system where the water piping services both 21⁄2 in. (65 mm) outlets for fire
department use and outlets for automatic sprinklers.
CONCEALED SPRINKLER - Correct Answer ✔✔ A recessed sprinkler with a cover
plate.
CONTROL MODE SPECIFIC APPLICATION SPRINKLERS (CMSA) - Correct Answer
✔✔ Control mode sprinkler systems are designed to control a fire until its original fuel
source is depleted or until fire-fighting activities can commence. A fire is controlled by
cooling the ceiling-level air temperatures, reducing the fire's rate of heat release and
pre-wetting
adjacent combustibles.
, CONTROL VALVE - Correct Answer ✔✔ A valve controlling flow to water-based fire
protection systems. Control valves do not include hose valves, inspector's test valves,
drain valves, trim valves for dry pipe, preaction and deluge valves, check valves, or
relief valves.
OS&Y Valve - Correct Answer ✔✔ (Outside Stem and Yoke valve) an indicating type of
control valve used for fire sprinkler system.
Curb Valve - Correct Answer ✔✔ a non-indicating gate valve equipped with a cast iron
extension box flushed with a sidewalk with an operating nut of 1 1⁄4 inch, this valve is
operated using a special curb key wrench. This valve controls the municipal water
supply serving the fire sprinkler system.
CORROSION-RESISTANT SPRINKLER - Correct Answer ✔✔ A sprinkler fabricated
with corrosion resistant materials, or special coatings to be used in an atmosphere that
would corrode standard sprinklers.
DEFICIENCY - Correct Answer ✔✔ A condition in which the application of the
component is not within its designed limits or specifications.
CRITICAL DEFICIENCY - Correct Answer ✔✔ A deficiency that, if not corrected, can
have an effect on the performance of the fire protection system.
NON CRITICAL DEFICIENCY - Correct Answer ✔✔ A deficiency that does not have an
effect on the performance of the fire protection system, but correction is needed for the
proper inspection, testing, and maintenance of the system(s).
DELUGE VALVE - Correct Answer ✔✔ A water supply control valve intended to be
operated by actuation of an automatic detection system that is installed in the same
area as the discharge devices. Each deluge valve is intended to be capable of
automatic and manual operation.
DELUGE SPRINKLER SYSTEM - Correct Answer ✔✔ A sprinkler system employing
open sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that is connected to a water supply
through a valve that is opened by the operation of a detection system installed in the
same areas as the sprinklers. When this valve opens, water flows into the piping system
and discharges from all sprinklers attached.
DRY PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEM - Correct Answer ✔✔ A sprinkler system employing
automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system containing air or nitrogen
under pressure. The release of the air or nitrogen,(as from the opening of a sprinkler)
results in the water pressure opening a valve known as a dry pipe valve, resulting in the
flow of water into the piping system and out of the fused sprinklers heads.
