3. Under NFPA 72, initiating devices in a fire alarm system must be installed so that a single open circuit fault will NOT disable more than how many devices?
✓ One zone

NFPA 72 requires that a single open circuit fault disable no more than one initiating device zone, limiting the impact of wiring failures.

4. What quality metrics are most important in Fire Safety Systems?
✓ Measurable outcomes, process compliance, and stakeholder satisfaction
