True or False
True
In a three wire extra low voltage switching system relay the power contacts close when the on coil becomes energized. When the on coil is then de-energize the power contacts are:
Closed because they are mechanically held
In an extra low voltage switching system are the switches controlling the relay permanent?
No, they’re momentary.
What are the voltages permitted to be called “extra-low voltage”?
AC- not exceeding 30V
DC- not exceeding 42.4V
What are some advantages of using extra-low voltage?
- only need to be rated for extra low voltage (equipment)
- Requires small guage wires so less material
- fewer power loss
- cheaper
- can operate a single relay
can one extra low voltage switch control several relays?
yes
when energized what are the positions of the latch, and the contacts?
latch is closed, holding in place, and contacts are closed.
when de-energized what are the positions of the latch, and the contacts?
latch is open (OFF position), and contacts are open.
What is a rectifying diode?
A diode pulses the current going through it only in the direction indicated on the diode changing current from AC to DC. SO as to not burn out the relays.
NOT RATED FOR CONTINUOUS OPERATION
what is the purpose of an LED pilot light
to indicate if a light is on or off either from the room with the lights or from a separate isolated room.
what is the ON sequence for a 2 wire relay?
- on diode engaged, light off, switch not pressed
2.switch pressed on, coil energized, contacts close, light turns on - off diode engaged when contacts close
- switch not pressed, off diode engaged
what is a PoE?
Power over Ethernet
what is the OFF sequence for 2 wire relay?
- switch not pressed, contacts closed, off diode engaged
- switch pressed off, coil energizes, contacts open
- ON diode engaged after contacts open
- switch not pressed, ON diode engaged, contacts open, light off.

movement
where does a CPU receive its power?
AC supply
What code states that smoke alarms must be installed in residential units?
Alberta Building Code
Smoke alarms shall be wired, independently or interconnected?
interconnected
when a short circuit occurs what is the response of a Class B DETECTION circuit?
Alarm
when a short circuit occurs what is the response of a Class B SIGNAL circuit?
Trouble
what is an EOL?
End of Line
what happens when a NO system loop?
alarm goes off when contacts close
what happens in a NC system loop?
alarm goes off when contacts open
what happens in a monitored system loop?
EOL resistors monitor circuit
what are the OUTPUT devices of a fire alarm circuit?
siren and strobe light
is it acceptable to install sirens next to cold air ducts?
yes, it echoes sound.
are recessed contacts used for windows?
no, doors.
what would be the best perimeter device for a sealed window?
surface mount contact with magnetic reed switch.
can overhead doors have a recessed contact?
no, must have large overhead magnetic contact.
True or false:
T- mounting position is used and is permitted in installations.
false
where is an acoustic shock detector typically installed? what does it detect?
ON the glass pane, senses air pressure change when glass is broken.
Acoustic sound pattern detectors detect what?
They are pre-programmed with the actual sound pattern of glass breaking and go off at that sound
What do passive infrared detectors or PIRs detect?
They are sensitive to moving heat radiating sources such as people and animals
True or false
When using PIR technology you need to make sure it covers different areas based on angle and pattern
True
When using wireless devices where must you insure that it is installed?
You must ensure that a large metal device such as a chimney or duct is not located between the transmitter module and the wireless receiver
What is another name for an ionization detector?
Product of combustion detector
What is the function of a smoke detector
To detect smoke
Photoelectric smoke detectors detect what?
They are light obstruction style detectors. Shining a light beam across a sensing chamber determining how much of it is penetrating from the light source to the receiver. If below a certain value the alarm will sound.
What section of the Canadian electrical code book provides a summary on the installation of smoke alarms?
32-200
When wiring a smoke detector what are the colors corresponding with power and interconnection?
White is the identified conductor
Black is live power
Either orange red or yellow are used as interconnection between smoke alarms.
What are fixed temperature detectors?
They will detect the presence of fire when a heat sensitive material inside the detector melts
Commonly set around 57°c or 93° c
In the conditions of a fire alarm system when it stated to be in normal condition what is the property?
Ready to receive input signals
In a fire alarm circuit when the condition States trouble what does that mean?
There was an equipment failure or circuit failure indicated on the control panel
In a fire detection and alarm system when the condition states to be an alarm mode what is the property?
When a detection device or manual pull station is activated
In a fire detection and alarm system under the conditions of a fire alarm system when stated to be in supervisory what is the property?

When an initiating circuit or smoke detector activates what happens to the supervisory current?
Increases
With assistant change in a signal circuit such as a short circuit what happens to the supervisory current?
Increases
What does a carbon monoxide detector detect and what causes it to go off?
