Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

An annunciator is a fire alarm component that provides visual indicators (such as lamps or alphanumeric displays) to show the status of various circuits, conditions, or locations in a fire alarm system. It helps responders quickly identify the location and nature of the alarm condition without needing to go to the control panel itself.

I hope there's no fire alarm test on this exam - I might have to call the fire department to come put out the dumpster fire that is my knowledge on this topic.

A control panel? Really? Nah, that can't be right. This is clearly about the indicator lights and displays, not the main control unit.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Could it be a visible textual notification appliance? Seems like that would also provide status information.

I'm pretty sure it's an annunciator. That's the component that shows the status of different parts of the fire alarm system.

No, a control panel is different. It's the annunciator that provides status information.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be C) a visible textual notification appliance, as it also provides status information visually.

I agree with Nina, because an annunciator is specifically designed to provide status information.
