Question: If a short circuit occurs on a Class B (DCLB) addressable loop without isolation modules, what impact does it have?

Answer options:

  • The entire building is disabled.
  • The devices only lose synchronization. ✅ Devices on that specific segment are lost; others continue to work.
  • The panel automatically switches to Class A mode.

Correct answer: Devices on that specific segment are lost; others continue to work.
