🔍 Key Concepts

• fail-safe design of alarm systems • difference between an open circuit and a closed/normal circuit • how self-monitoring alarm panels detect wiring faults

💭 Think About

• In a self-monitoring alarm system, what should happen if a wire to an alarm device is cut or disconnected? Should the system go quiet or make noise? • Is an open circuit more like a normal, healthy condition, or more like a fault that should be reported? • Which choice best represents a design that will warn the operator of a failure in the alarm circuit itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify what open circuit means in basic electrical terms (current flowing or not flowing). • Decide whether a self-monitoring system should be able to detect loss of power/continuity to an alarm device. • Check which answer choice reflects a fail-safe response: the system should not silently lose the alarm if a wire opens.
