(421) Amplifiers used in the photoelectric fire detector system are sensitive only to
- A.
Sunlight.
- B.
Light emitted from flashlights.
- C.
Signals with a frequency between 7 and 60 Hz.
- D.
Signals with a frequency between 60 and 160 Hz.
Correct Answer
C. Signals with a frequency between 7 and 60 Hz.Explanation
The amplifiers used in the photoelectric fire detector system are designed to be sensitive to signals with a frequency between 7 and 60 Hz. This frequency range is specifically chosen because it corresponds to the flickering frequency of a flame. By being sensitive to this frequency range, the amplifier can effectively detect the presence of a flame and trigger the fire alarm system.Rate this question:

(421) The direct current (DC) voltage that is supplied to the lights in a photoelectric circuit is pulsed at a rate of
- A.
10 hertz (Hz).
- B.
100 Hz.
- C.
200 Hz
- D.
400 Hz.
Correct Answer
A. 10 hertz (Hz).Explanation
The correct answer is 10 hertz (Hz). In a photoelectric circuit, the direct current (DC) voltage supplied to the lights is pulsed at a rate of 10 hertz. This means that the voltage is being turned on and off 10 times per second. This pulsing of the voltage allows for precise control of the lights and is commonly used in applications such as photography or sensing systems.Rate this question:

(421) In a continuous loop fire detection system, the shield of the continuous loop is constructed of
- A.
Soft iron.
- B.
Aluminum.
- C.
Malleable tin.
- D.
INCONEL®.
Correct Answer
D. INCONEL®.Explanation
INCONEL® is the correct answer for the construction of the shield in a continuous loop fire detection system. INCONEL® is a type of nickel-chromium alloy known for its high resistance to heat and corrosion. This makes it an ideal material for use in fire detection systems as it can withstand high temperatures and protect the continuous loop from damage. Soft iron, aluminum, and malleable tin do not possess the same level of heat and corrosion resistance as INCONEL®, making them less suitable for this purpose.Rate this question:

(422) For the master caution lamps in a master caution system to illuminate,
- A.
Transistor Q1 must remain at the CUTOFF position.
- B.
Transistor Q2 must remain at the CUTOFF position.
- C.
Controlled rectifier SCR2 must forward bias transistor Q2.
- D.
Controlled rectifier SCR2 conducts current to forward bias transistor Q1.
Correct Answer
D. Controlled rectifier SCR2 conducts current to forward bias transistor Q1.Explanation
In a master caution system, the master caution lamps illuminate when controlled rectifier SCR2 conducts current to forward bias transistor Q1. This means that the current flows through SCR2, which then allows current to flow through Q1, causing the lamps to light up.Rate this question:

(422) When a fault occurs, the individual caution lamps in the master caution system remain on until
- A.
The shutter closes.
- B.
The fault is corrected.
- C.
The reset circuit is energized.
- D.
Another system fault is detected.
Correct Answer
B. The fault is corrected.Explanation
When a fault occurs, the individual caution lamps in the master caution system remain on until the fault is corrected. This means that once a fault is detected, the caution lamps will continue to stay on until the issue causing the fault is resolved. The lamps serve as a visual indication to the operator that there is a problem, and they will only turn off once the fault has been fixed.Rate this question:

(423) When the cargo and personnel doors close and lock, the door
- A.
Open relay will energize.
- B.
Open relay will de-energize.
- C.
Position relay will energize.
- D.
Position relay will de-energize.
Correct Answer
B. Open relay will de-energize.Explanation
When the cargo and personnel doors close and lock, it indicates that the doors are secure and in the closed position. In this case, the open relay, which is responsible for opening the doors, will de-energize or turn off. This is because there is no need for the doors to remain open once they are closed and locked.Rate this question:

(423) When all systems are configured for flight, the pilot or copilot must press the
- A.
Aileron roll trim lever.
- B.
Autopilot engage lever.
- C.
Hydraulic pitch trim levers.
- D.
Thrust reverser locked lever.
Correct Answer
C. Hydraulic pitch trim levers.Explanation
The correct answer is hydraulic pitch trim levers. When all systems are configured for flight, the pilot or copilot must press the hydraulic pitch trim levers. This is because the hydraulic pitch trim system is responsible for adjusting the aircraft's pitch attitude and maintaining the desired flight path. By pressing the hydraulic pitch trim levers, the pilot or copilot can make necessary adjustments to the aircraft's pitch trim, ensuring stable and controlled flight. The other options, such as the aileron roll trim lever, autopilot engage lever, and thrust reverser locked lever, are not relevant to the process of configuring systems for flight.Rate this question:

(424) You determine the bulbs are good and the circuit breakers are working for a typical take-off warning system problem; you then check for 28 volts direct current (VDC) at the sockets of the take-off lights and you do not find voltage. Where is the next place you should check?
- A.
Spoiler controls take-off warning relay contacts.
- B.
Hydraulic system No. 3 relay contacts.
- C.
Stabilizer trim relay contacts.
- D.
Touchdown relay contact.
Correct Answer
A. Spoiler controls take-off warning relay contacts.Explanation
The next place you should check is the spoiler controls take-off warning relay contacts. This is because the take-off warning system is controlled by the relay contacts in the spoiler controls. If there is no voltage at the sockets of the take-off lights, it suggests that there may be an issue with the relay contacts in the spoiler controls, which are responsible for supplying power to the lights. Checking these contacts would be the logical next step in troubleshooting the problem.Rate this question:
