This distance is necessary to prevent any potential interference between the transmitter and the refueling equipment, which could pose a safety risk. By maintaining a distance of 50 meters, the risk of any sparks or ignition sources coming into contact with flammable fuels is minimized, ensuring the safety of both the refueling process and the surrounding environment.

    To avoid receiving an electrical shock when disconnecting the battery from the electronic security system(ESS)?

    • A.

      Remove the negative lead first

    • B.

      Remove the positive lead first

    • C.

      It doesn't matter which lead you remove first

    • D.

      Secure the positive lead first and then the negative

    Correct Answer
    B. Remove the positive lead first
    Explanation
    When disconnecting the battery from the electronic security system (ESS), it is recommended to remove the positive lead first. This is because the positive lead is typically connected to the fuse box and other sensitive electrical components. By removing the positive lead first, you reduce the risk of accidentally causing a short circuit or electrical shock. Additionally, removing the positive lead first breaks the electrical connection, making it safer to then remove the negative lead.

    A scanning method known as the self preservation method of search lasts approximately?

    • A.

      90Sec

    • B.

      60 Sec

    • C.

      45 Sec

    • D.

      30 Sec

    Correct Answer
    D. 30 Sec
    Explanation
    The self-preservation method of search is a scanning method that aims to minimize the time spent searching for potential threats while maximizing the safety of the searcher. This method involves quickly scanning the environment for any signs of danger and making rapid decisions to avoid or mitigate potential risks. The fact that the self-preservation method of search lasts approximately 30 seconds suggests that it is a fast and efficient scanning technique that allows individuals to quickly assess their surroundings and take appropriate action to ensure their safety.

    When marking targets, the more effective means of delivering accurate fire is?

    • A.

      Spacing

    • B.

      Aining point

    • C.

      Reference point

    • D.

      Range determination

    Correct Answer
    B. Aining point
    Explanation
    The most effective means of delivering accurate fire is using an aiming point. By focusing on a specific point, such as a target or an object, the shooter can align their sights and adjust their aim accordingly. This allows for better precision and increases the chances of hitting the intended target.

    What is the greatest limitation in using the 100 meters method of range determination?

    • A.

      Observer proficiency requires constant practice

    • B.

      SF member must pace the range to see if his estimation is correct

    • C.

      Underestimating sloping ground gives the illusion of a greater distance

    • D.

      Accuracy is directly related to amount of terrain visible to the observor

    Correct Answer
    D. Accuracy is directly related to amount of terrain visible to the observor
    Explanation
    The greatest limitation in using the 100 meters method of range determination is that accuracy is directly related to the amount of terrain visible to the observer. This means that the observer's ability to accurately estimate the range is dependent on how much of the surrounding terrain they can see. If there are obstacles or limited visibility, it becomes more challenging to accurately determine the range using this method.

    How does the observore use off center vision when viewing an object during limited visibility?

    • A.

      Look 5 degrees above, below or to either side rather then directily at it

    • B.

      Look 10 degrees above, below or to either side rather then directily at it

    • C.

      Look 15 degrees above, below rather then directily at it

    • D.

      Look 20 degrees to either side rather then directily at it

    Correct Answer
    B. Look 10 degrees above, below or to either side rather then directily at it
    Explanation
    When the observer uses off-center vision during limited visibility, they should look 10 degrees above, below, or to either side of the object instead of directly at it. This allows the observer to utilize their peripheral vision, which is more sensitive to detecting objects in low light or obscured conditions. By looking slightly off-center, the observer can increase their chances of noticing the object and gathering more information about its presence or characteristics.

    When burying the TMS magnetic sensor, how deep perpendicular to the avenue of approach must you bury the magnetic sensor head?

    • A.

      2 to 4 inches

    • B.

      4 to 6 inches

    • C.

      6 to 8 inches

    • D.

      8 to 10 inches

    Correct Answer
    C. 6 to 8 inches
    Explanation
    The TMS magnetic sensor needs to be buried 6 to 8 inches deep perpendicular to the avenue of approach. This depth ensures that the sensor is properly positioned to detect magnetic fields and accurately measure traffic flow. Burying it too shallow may result in inaccurate readings, while burying it too deep may reduce its sensitivity. Therefore, burying the sensor at a depth of 6 to 8 inches provides the optimal balance for accurate and reliable data collection.

    The Elec 864M1E long-range passive infrared sensors detection capability can be degraded in?

    • A.

      In snowy conditions

    • B.

      Dense fog

    • C.

      Rainy weather

    • D.

      Bright sunlight

    Correct Answer
    B. Dense fog
    Explanation
    The Elec 864M1E long-range passive infrared sensors detection capability can be degraded in dense fog. This is because dense fog can scatter and absorb the infrared radiation emitted by objects, making it difficult for the sensors to accurately detect and differentiate between objects. The fog particles can also cause false readings or reduce the sensitivity of the sensors, leading to decreased detection capability in such weather conditions.
