FIRE ALARM DRILL 26 © Ted Smith 2017

They will let you use your code book on the test and it can have highlights in it.
BE SURE TO TAKE YOUR NEC, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code with you when you take the NICET or the Denver Fire Alarm test. They will not supply a code book for you. If you are taking the Denver Fire Alarm Installers Test, you can use your own code books and you will need your International Fire Code and your Denver Building Amendments in addition to the items above. AFTER YOU ARE DONE WITH THE QUIZ. GO THROUGH AND FIND ALL THE CORRECT ANSWERS AND THEN HIGHLIGHT THEM IN YOUR CODE BOOK. YOU WILL FIND THEM FASTER ON THE TEST THAT WAY. I BELIEVE YOU WILL HAVE MANY QUESTIONS ON THE TEST WHERE THE ANSWER COMES FROM A PLACE YOU HAVE HIGHLIGHTED.

Instructions Be sure to place this presentation in Slide Show Mode if it is not already in that mode before proceeding The purpose of this drill is to help you improve your skill at finding answers to questions using the applicable fire codes and also to help increase your knowledge of the Fire Alarm codes. Each slide will contain a question. The question will remain in the screen for a period of 2 minutes. At the end of the two minutes, a notification will sound and the slide will transition to the next slide which will have the correct answer to the question. After 15 seconds the next question will appear and the process will continue. During the test do not worry about the correct answers when those slide appear. You will be given an opportunity to review the answers with out the time at the end of the test. Click on the slide to start the timer and begin the test

Strobe lights are to be installed in a 25-foot wide hallway
Strobe lights are to be installed in a 25-foot wide hallway. According to NFPA 72, what are the requirements for spacing the strobe lights in the hallway? Use the spacing requirements for rooms Use the spacing requirements for hallways Use the spacing requirements according to the contractor The NFPA does not allow strobes of this size in a hallway NFPA 72
5
A. Use the spacing requirements for rooms
Section , NFPA 72

2. When connecting a supervising station, fire alarm systems installed on the protected premises employing automatic fire detectors or waterflow detectors shall include a (an) ______. A. Annunciator panel B. Strobe light located at the entrance of the building C. Manual fire alarm pull box D. Disconnect switch NFPA 72
7
C. Manual fire alarm pull box. Section 23.8.5.1.2 NFPA 72

3. Trouble signals and their restoration to normal shall be indicated within _____ at the fire alarm control panel for protected premises alarm systems. 10 seconds 60 seconds 90 seconds 200 seconds NFPA 72
9
D. 200 seconds Section NFPA 72
10
NFPA 72 4. Which of the following is true about a DC series circuit?
Current only flows in one direction Voltage across each element in the circuit is equal The total current flow of the circuit is equal to the sum of the current flow through each element. None of the above NFPA 72
11
A. Current only flows in one direction

5. Fire alarm cables were installed using RMC
5. Fire alarm cables were installed using RMC. What must be installed/provided when the conduit is terminated at boxes, fitting, and/or other enclosures? Conduit support straps within 1 foot of where the conduit terminates Expansion fittings for the conduit Bushings to protect the fire alarm cable/conductors only if the conduit is 1” or greater Bushings to protect the fire alarm cable/conductors regardless of the RMC trade size. NFPA 72
13
D. Bushings to protect the fire alarm cable/conductors regardless of the RMC trade size. Consult Article 344 part II, Article – Bushings for the answer
14
6. Monitoring for integrity shall not be required for the interconnection between enclosures containing control equipment located within ____ of each other when the conductors are installed in conduit or equivalently protected against mechanical injury 15 feet 20 feet 22 feet 25 feet NFPA 72
15
B. 20 feet Consult section NFPA 72
16
7. A series circuit has two resistors with values of R1 = 300 ohms and R2 = 200 ohms. What is the total current of the circuit when 24VDC is applied? 0.048A .48A 4.8A 48A NFPA 72
17
0.048A *When resistors are connected in a series, their total resistance can be calculated by adding the ohms. R1 + R2 = 200 ohms ohms = 500 ohms. Then, use Ohms Law to calculate current flow. I = E/R = 24V/500 Ohms = 0.048A
18
8.The fire alarm service provider shall report to the AHJ any fire alarm system that is out of service for more than _____. 1 hour 5 hours 8 hours 24 hours NFPA 72
19
C. 8 hours Consult section NFPA 72
20
9. PLFA cables shall be permitted to be installed together with Class 1, NPLFA, and medium-power network broadband communications circuits where _____. The cables are separated by a barrier The cables are labeled with at least 600V The cables are for fire alarm system use only None of the above NFPA 72
21
A. The cables are separated by a barrier Consult section 760
A. The cables are separated by a barrier Consult section (B) NEC 2014
22
NFPA 72 10. Which characteristic is true about a parallel circuit?
The sum of the voltages across each branch is equal to the total voltage The total resistance of the circuit id the sum of the individual resistors of the circuit The sum of the currents in each branch is equal to the total circuit current None of the above NFPA 72
23
D. None of the above
