Correct!

This factor, referred to by a single letter, is a way to express the relationship between flow rate and pressure with the unit of gpm/sqrt(psi).

Correct!

This chemical compound is also known as type ABC fire extinguisher agent.

Incorrect! Also, needs to be in the form of a question

We've had question-and-answer quiz topics on this forum before, but I don't think anyone's ever flipped it around! So now, instead of answering the question, you'll have to ask the right question that goes with the answer! And if you've got any ideas, go ahead and ask (or rather, answer!) them here....

For a demo system, anything from 18-gauge to 14-gauge hookup wire is sufficient. Real systems generally use 14-gauge FPL or FPLR wire.

Yep, that's a National Time 641! Pretty rare, I've never seen one in person before.

The image doesn't seem to be showing, perhaps try again? If you tried adding the image as an attachment, maybe you can use our attachments workaround?

Looking at the manual, it looks like the FX-5R (and the whole Fireshield line) is only capable of temporal, continuous, and Genesis sync.

From my experiences with fire drills in high school, the hallways become a sea of people - most definitely a bad thing in the midst of a COVID pandemic. It's like passing period but could go on for several minutes more. Of course in a real fire emergency, the most pressing threat is the fire and not...

Right - I mostly meant in the context of mercantile occupancies like grocery stores and things like that. Either way, it would not be advantageous for places to start having fire drills willy-nilly. It may have the opposite effect and may desensitize people to fire alarm signals.

A lot of it has to do with practicality. It's a lot more practical to privately (and quietly) train your staff how to respond in a fire emergency than it is to just set the alarms off and see what happens. The reason why fire drills are not required in mercantile occupancies and other such public pl...

Please read Rule C9 - the post you quoted was two years old. In addition, since this topic is for made-up systems, none of these systems in this thread actually exist.

I just now realized I was misleading and didn't give you the whole answer. You were right in ordering the EOLR-1 relay, but you will still also need an end-of-line resistor, which your panel will call for. You will need both to fully supervise both your zone and power circuits, and should be wired a...
