Does a fire hood system and a kitchen need to be monitored by the fire alarm system?: Yes 2. What does P.L.F.A stand for?: Power Limited Fire Alarm 3. What does N.P.L.F.A stand for?: Non-Power Limited Fire Alarm 4. What is the difference between P.F.L.A and N.P.F.L.A?: an N.P.L.F.A can operate at up to 600v, and the power output isn't limited a P.L.F.A has the voltage and power limited by a listed power source. 5. What material must N.P.F.L.A circuit conductors be made from?: ONLY solid stranded copper is permitted. 6. What does A.W.G stand for?: American Wire Gauge 7. What size conductors are permitted?: Size 18 A.W.G and 16 A.W.G are permitted, provided they do not exceed certain capacities. 8. What is used to protect transformers or other devices supplied from power-supply conductors?: An over-current device not rated over 20 amperes. 9. When located within 7 feet of the floor, how shall cables be fastened?: Cables shall be fastened in an approved manner at intervals of not more than 18 inches. 10. Single conductors shall not be smaller than ___ A.W.G?: 18 11. Conductors of 28 A.W.G shall only be permitted in which circumstance?: - Spliced with a connector listed as suitable for 26 to 24 A.W.G 12. How shall P.F.L.A conductors NOT be installed?: P.F.L.A conductors shall not be strapped, taped, or attached to the exterior of any conduit or raceway. 13. What is Plenum cable?: Cable that can be installed in ducts, plenums, or other spaces used for environmental air. 14. What is a Riser cable?: Cable to be used in vertical wire runs in shafts between floors. Not to be used where Plenum cable is required. It is capable of preventing fire from rising from floor to floor. 15. What is general purpose cable?: Cable for general purpose fire alarm use. Not to be used where plenum cable or riser cable is required. It is resistant to the spread of fire. 16. Why 'type' shall plenum cable be? What substitutions are allowed?: Power Limited Fire Alarm Plenum (F.P.L.P) C.M.P can be substituted. 17. Why 'type' shall riser cable be?

What is the maximum voltage permitted through multi-conductor N.P.F.L.A cables?: 150 volts 20. What is the voltage rating marked on P.F.L.A cables?: Not less than 300 volts 21. Shall the voltage rating marked on P.F.L.A cables?: No, because they may be mistakenly used for electrical applications. 22. What is 'Rate Compensation Detector'?: A device that responds when a temperature rises at an exceeding rate that is predetermined. 23. What is a 'Smoke Detector'?: a device that detects both visible and invisible combustion particles? 24. Which detector is best a detecting invisible particles?: Ionization 25. Which sensor is better at detecting thick, visible smoke particles?: Photoelectric 26. What is a SPOT TYPE sensor?: a device in which detecting an element is concentrated at a particular location. 27.
