|---|---|
| A squib, as used in a fire-protection system, is a | device for causing the fire-extinguishing agent to be released. |
| In some fire-extinguishing systems, evidence that the system has been intentionally discharged is indicated by the absence of a | yellow disk on the side of the fuselage. |
| Maintenance of fire-detection systems includes the | replacement of damaged sensing elements. |
| When used in fire-detection systems having a single indicator light, thermal switches are wired in | parallel with each other and in series with the light |
| A fire extinguisher container can be checked to determine its charge by | weighing the container and its contents |
| What occurs when a visual smoke detector is activated? | A lamp within the indicator illuminates automatically |
| Using the chart, determine the temperature range for a fire-extinguishing agent storage container with a pressure of 330 psig. (Consider 330 psig for both minimum and maximum pressure.) | 45 to 73°F |
| What is the color code for fire extinguishing lines? | Brown |
| A thermocouple in a fire-detection system causes the warning system to operate because | it generates a small current when heated |
| What method is used to detect the thermal discharge of a built-in fire-extinguisher system? | a rupture of the red plastic disk in the thermal discharge line |
| Which fire-extinguishing agent is considered to be the least toxic? | Bromotrifluoromethane (Halon 1301) |
| When air samples contain carbon monoxide, portable carbon monoxide detectors containing yellow silica gel will turn which color? | green |
