Questions and Answers

What characteristic ensures that the warning device functions independently of other gases?

  • Impending failure warning
  • Independence from other gases (correct)
  • Audible and clear signal
  • No battery dependence

Why is it important for the device to have no battery dependence?

  • To maintain a constant gas flow
  • To reduce operational costs
  • To provide an extra backup system
  • To ensure it can function in any electrical failure (correct)

What should the audible warning signal be like in an ideal warning device?

  • Soft and short
  • Intermittent and loud
  • Clear and of sufficient length and volume (correct)
  • Continuous and silent

Flashcards

Oxygen failure device independence

The device must not rely on other gases' pressure, solely on oxygen ($O_2$).

Battery-free oxygen device

The oxygen warning device should function without batteries or electricity.

Clear audio signal

The warning signal must be loud, clear, and long enough to be noticed.

Impending failure warning

The device should give a warning before a complete equipment failure (low oxygen).
