Question: What must a technician do when a system's fire alarm signal transmission to the monitoring station is not working?
Answer options: ✅ Document the deficiency and immediately inform the owner so they can take corrective measures (e.g. Fire Watch)
- Reset the panel and hope the trouble clears later
- Silence all buzzers and leave the site gracefully
- Disable the zone so the 'Trouble' light goes out
Correct answer: Document the deficiency and immediately inform the owner so they can take corrective measures (e.g. Fire Watch)
Explanation: If a system is non-functional, the technician must document it as a 'deficiency' and notify the owner. The owner's duty (often guided by local fire department policies) is to implement a 'Fire Watch' or alternative measures. S536 doesn't mandate the tech stay, but mandates they report.
