Submit
6. You are required to select external lighting for an area which is subject to power interruptions of up to five minutes. Which of the following would likely perform best?

Explanation

Low pressure sodium lights have a short restrike time, making them the most suitable option for areas with frequent power interruptions.

Submit
7. A clear zone of how much should separate perimeter fences and internal structures?

Explanation

The correct answer is 50 feet because it allows for sufficient space to prevent damage to the internal structures in case of perimeter fence failure.

8. Which of the following types of sensors are grouped as fixed and rate of rise?

Explanation

Fixed and rate of rise are categories under heat sensors, making Heat the correct answer.

Submit
9. Which type of sensor is not suitable for areas with drafts passing through the detection pattern and nearby railroad tracks?

Explanation

Ultrasonic sensors use sound waves to detect objects, making them susceptible to interference from drafts and nearby railroad tracks. Infrared sensors may also be affected by external factors, but not specific to drafts and railroad tracks. Motion and heat sensors rely on different mechanisms for detection and are not impacted by the same environmental conditions.

Submit
10. The Theft Triangle depicts which of the following causes of crime?

Explanation

The Theft Triangle theory suggests that for a crime to occur, three elements must be present: opportunity, motivation, and rationalization. It highlights how a combination of these factors leads to criminal behavior.

Submit
15. What is the name given to the internal video-amplifying system that works to maintain the video signal at a specific level as the amount of available light decreases?

Explanation

Automatic gain control is a common feature in cameras and video equipment that adjusts the amplification of the video signal to compensate for changes in lighting conditions. Manual gain control would require human input, whereas video signal enhancer and light amplification system do not accurately describe the function of automatic gain control.

Submit
16. When specifying lighting for indoors precision manual work where good CRI is essential, which of the following will produce the best results?

Explanation

Incandescent lighting typically has a higher CRI compared to fluorescent, LED, and halogen lighting, making it the best choice for precision manual work where accurate color rendering is crucial.

Submit
17. What characteristics are typically associated with Halogen lighting?

Explanation

Halogen lighting is known for its low efficacy (efficiency), high color rendering index (CRI), and ability for instant restrike, making it a popular choice for various lighting applications.
