16. What signaling circuits are present in the industrial building?

ANSWER: A signaling circuit is defined as any electric circuit that energizes signaling equipment. A signaling
system may include one or more signaling circuits. For example, in the industrial building, there are
several electrical systems that give recognizable visual and audible signals and are classified as
signaling systems:
∙ a master clock;
∙ a program system;
∙ a paging or locating system; and
∙ a fire alarm system.
POINTS: 1
REFERENCES: Introduction
17. How does the master clock in the industrial building sense time?
ANSWER: This master clock senses time by receiving a radio signal from WWV, a radio station that
broadcasts time pulses. WWV is operated by the National Bureau of Standards and is used as a
time standard throughout the United States. A cesium beam atomic clock is used to produce the
pulses that are transmitted. WWV can be received on frequencies of 18, 20, and 60 kHz, and on
frequencies of 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 MHz. At the beginning of each minute, a 1000-Hz signal is
transmitted, except at the beginning of each hour when a 1500-Hz signal is transmitted. The clock
in this installation contains a radio receiver capable of receiving WWV pulses. The timing of the
clock depends on the pulses received, and, in this way, the time clock is continually updated each
minute.

18. When selecting a paging system, what five factors should be taken into consideration?
ANSWER: When selecting a paging system, several factors should be taken into consideration, such as:
1. What is the amount of area to be covered and the number of paging units needed?
2. The design of the system should permit expansion as the plant increases in size.
3. Should the paging system be voice, tone, or a combination of both?
4. Do areas of the plant require explosion-proof or weatherproof equipment?
5. What is the ambient noise level of the plant?
POINTS: 1
19. Describe the power supply to the processor of the Jensen Electric Co. fire alarm system.
ANSWER: The power equipment of the processor is 24 volts dc, which is provided by an uninterruptible power
supply. The uninterruptible power supply produces a regulated 24 volts dc from a 120-volt ac 60-
hertz supply line. Two 12-volt lead acid storage batteries are contained inside the power supply. If
the incoming ac power should fail, the lead acid batteries continue to provide power to the system.
This ensures that control power to critical systems is maintained during a power failure.

20. Briefly describe the activation of devices in a Jensen Electric Co. fire alarm system when a fire is detected.
ANSWER: When a fire condition is detected, two alarm devices are activated. The first is one of the tones
produced by the paging system. The second is a high-intensity strobe light that produces 75 flashes
per minute. The strobe light is powered directly by the smoke detector in office areas. The fire
alarm system is programmed so that when a fire is detected, all of the audible alarms produced by
the paging system are activated. Not all of the strobe lights are activated, however. Only the strobe
lights located in the area of the detected fire are permitted to flash.
