The term “local” as in local alarm system refers to:
- A.
Location of Monitoring System
- B.
Power is provided from local power company
- C.
Only the police respond to the alarm signal
- D.
An Alarm system that is not monitored by a monitoring station
Correct Answer
D. An Alarm system that is not monitored by a monitoring stationExplanation
The term "local" in the context of a local alarm system refers to an alarm system that is not monitored by a monitoring station. This means that when the alarm is triggered, there is no automatic notification sent to a central monitoring facility. Instead, the alarm is designed to sound within the premises where it is installed, alerting those nearby to the potential threat or danger. This type of system is typically used in smaller residential or commercial settings where there may not be a need for constant monitoring or a professional response team.Rate this question:

Which of the following are not a good conductor?
- A.
Copper
- B.
Rubber
- C.
Iron
- D.

Which of the following wires draws the most current?
- A.
12 AWG
- B.
18 AWG
- C.
22 AWG
- D.

Smoke detectors should be installed at least 36 inches away from HVAC registers. This spacing is necessary to ensure that the airflow from the HVAC system does not interfere with the proper functioning of the smoke detector. Placing the smoke detector too close to the HVAC register could result in false alarms or a delay in detecting smoke in case of a fire. Therefore, it is important to maintain a sufficient distance between the smoke detector and HVAC registers to ensure their effectiveness.Rate this question:
