VLQ Technical Accreditation Quiz!

1. What is the limitation of each sample pipe length of VLQ?

6 meters total

Determined by ASPIRE2

100 meters total

9 meters branched or 6 meters linear

The limitation of each sample pipe length of VLQ is either 9 meters when branched or 6 meters when linear. This means that when the pipes are branched, the maximum length for each sample pipe is 9 meters, whereas when the pipes are arranged in a linear manner, the maximum length for each sample pipe is 6 meters. This limitation is determined by ASPIRE2, which sets the guidelines for the maximum pipe length in VLQ systems.

3. VLQ Configuration options:

DIP Switch settings

VSC Software

QSC Software

Option A & C

The correct answer is Option A & C. This means that the VLQ configuration options include both DIP switch settings and QSC software. DIP switch settings are physical switches that can be toggled to configure certain settings on the device. QSC software, on the other hand, refers to the software provided by QSC that allows for further customization and configuration of the VLQ. Therefore, by selecting both Option A (DIP switch settings) and Option C (QSC software), you are able to fully configure the VLQ according to your needs.

7. On the Display when is "Sb" displayed:

When Standby mode is enabled

Shortly before power up

During airflow normalization

During Auto learn

When "Sb" is displayed on the display, it indicates that the Standby mode is enabled. Standby mode is a state where the device is powered on but not actively performing any tasks. It is a low-power mode that allows the device to conserve energy while still being ready to be used. Therefore, when the device is in Standby mode, the "Sb" message is displayed on the screen to indicate this state to the user.

8. Connecting to VLQ with QSC software is done by?

Plug the USB lead to a running VLQ

Run Software and select correct coms port

Option A then B

9 pin serial lead

To connect to VLQ with QSC software, the first step is to plug the USB lead into a running VLQ. Then, the software needs to be run and the correct coms port should be selected. Therefore, the correct sequence is Option A (plug the USB lead to a running VLQ) followed by Option B (run software and select correct coms port).

12. What is quiescent current consumption?

190mA

4 Amps

1.2 Amps

170mA

Quiescent current consumption refers to the amount of current that a device or circuit consumes when it is in a standby or idle state. In this case, the correct answer of 170mA indicates that the quiescent current consumption is 170 milliamperes. This means that when the device is not actively performing any tasks or functions, it still consumes 170mA of current.

150m² risk areas

A VLQ (Very Low Quantity) application is suitable for areas that have a risk of 100m² or less. This means that the VLQ system is designed to handle small quantities of hazardous materials, making it appropriate for smaller risk areas where the potential for accidents or incidents is limited. It may not be as effective or necessary for larger risk areas or areas with higher quantities of hazardous materials.
