Question 1

Manual fire detection,include human responses,such as calling the fire department,as well as manually activated alarms,such as sprinklers and gaseous systems._________________________

Accepted Answer

Manual fire detection systems can include both human responses, such as calling the fire department, and manually activated alarms, such as sprinklers and gaseous systems.

Question 2

____ locks can be changed after they are put in service,allowing for combination or key changes without a locksmith and even allowing the owner to change to another access method (key or combination)to upgrade security.
A)Programmable
B)Manual
C)Biometric
D)Electronic

Accepted Answer

Programmable locks offer the ability to change the combination or key without requiring a locksmith. This not only provides convenience but also enhances security by allowing for frequent changes. The other options (manual, biometric, and electronic) do not typically offer this feature.

Question 3

Smoke detection systems are perhaps the most common means of detecting a potentially dangerous fire,and they are required by building codes in most residential dwellings and commercial buildings._________________________

Accepted Answer

Smoke detection systems are indeed required by building codes in most residential dwellings and commercial buildings.

Question 4

Gaseous emission systems can be used in the suppression of fires._________________________

Accepted Answer

Gaseous emission systems, such as carbon dioxide or halon systems, can be used to suppress fires by displacing oxygen and therefore limiting the fuel source for the fire.

Question 5

Mechanical locks can accept a variety of inputs as keys,including magnetic strips on ID cards,radio signals from name badges,personal identification numbers (PINs)typed into a keypad,or some combination of these to activate an electrically powered locking mechanism._________________________

Accepted Answer

Electromechanical

Question 6

A variation of the dry-pipe system is the pre-action system,which has a two-phase response to a fire._________________________

Accepted Answer

The pre-action system does have a two-phase response to a fire. The first phase involves the activation of a detection system, which then opens a valve that allows water to enter the piping system. However, the water does not immediately discharge from the sprinkler heads. The second phase occurs when a sprinkler head is activated due to heat or flame, causing the pre-action valve to open and allowing water to flow out of the activated sprinkler head. This two-phase response helps to prevent accidental discharge of water in situations where a sprinkler head is accidentally triggered or damaged.

Question 7

Electronic monitoring includes ____ systems.
A)blocked video
B)local video
C)open-circuit television
D)closed-circuit television

Accepted Answer

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) is a type of electronic monitoring system that uses cameras to capture video images of a particular area and transmit the signal only to a limited set of monitors. This allows the system to be privately and closely monitored for security purposes, distinguishing it from open-circuit television (OCTV), which can be viewed by anyone with access to the signal. Blocked video and local video are not commonly used terms in electronic monitoring.

Question 8

The most sophisticated locks are ____ locks.
A)manual
B)programmable
C)electronic
D)biometric

Accepted Answer

Biometric locks are the most sophisticated as they use unique biological characteristics such as fingerprints or iris scans to grant access, providing the highest level of security. Manual locks require physical keys to be inserted and turned, programmable locks have set codes that can be changed, and electronic locks require a digital input such as a PIN code.

Question 9

A common form of mechanical strike locks are electric strike locks,which (usually)require people to announce themselves before being "buzzed" through a locked door._________________________

Accepted Answer

electronic

Question 10

Cold detectors measure rates of change in the ambient temperature in the room._________________________

Accepted Answer

Thermal

Question 11

When the lock of a door fails and the door remains locked,this is a(n)fail-safe lock._________________________

Accepted Answer

fail-secure

Question 12

____ occurs when an authorized person presents a key to open a door,and other people,who may or may not be authorized,also enter.
A)Crowdsurfing
B)Tailgating
C)Freeloading
D)Hitchhiking

Accepted Answer

Tailgating refers to an individual following closely behind another person who has been granted access to a secure area such as a building, without presenting their own credentials or using their own access device. It is a security threat and a common form of social engineering.

Question 13

In a(n)offline UPS,the primary power source is the battery,and the power feed from the utility is constantly recharging this battery._________________________

Accepted Answer

online
true online

Question 14

Grounding ensures that the returning flow of current is properly discharged to the ground._________________________

Accepted Answer

This statement is true. Grounding is an important safety measure in electrical wiring and helps prevent electrical shock and damage to equipment. By providing a path for the returning flow of current to discharge to the ground, it helps prevent the build-up of voltage that can be dangerous to humans and equipment.

Question 15

Physical security is just as important as logical security to an information security program._________________________

Accepted Answer

Physical security measures, such as locks, access controls, security cameras, and physical barriers, protect the tangible assets of an organization, including servers, workstations, mobile devices, data centers, and backup media, from theft, damage, loss, or unauthorized access. Physical security also helps ensure business continuity, emergency preparedness, and regulatory compliance. Without adequate physical security, logical security controls, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, encryption, and authentication, may be compromised or bypassed. Therefore, physical security is an essential component of a comprehensive information security program.

Question 16

Guards can evaluate each situation as it arises and make reasoned responses._________________________

Accepted Answer

Guards are trained to assess each situation and respond accordingly in a professional and tactful manner. They use their judgment and experience to make informed decisions that maintain safety and security.

Question 17

Videoconferencing is off site computing that uses Internet connections,dialup connections,connections over leased point-to-point links between offices,and other connection mechanisms._________________________

Accepted Answer

Telecommuting

Question 18

Class C fires are those fueled by combustible metals,such as magnesium,lithium,and sodium._________________________

Accepted Answer

D

Question 19

Most guards have clear ____ that help them to act decisively in unfamiliar situations.
A)MACs
B)SOPs
C)POSs
D)OPSs

Accepted Answer

SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) are clearly defined protocols that guide guards on how to act in different scenarios. They ensure that guards have a consistent and effective approach to handling situations, even if they are unfamiliar with them. MACs (Maximum Allowable Concentrations), POSs (Point of Sale systems), and OPSs (Operations) are not relevant in this context.

Question 20

All liquid systems are designed to apply liquid,usually water,to all areas in which a fire has been detected._________________________

Accepted Answer

sprinkler
