Class 2 systems are designed for which group?

• A. Occupants
• B. Fire Department
• C. Maintenance staff
• D. Visitors

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is that Class 2 systems are designed for the people who use and are affected by the system—the occupants. Class 2 circuits are limited-energy wiring used to power devices that occupants interact with, such as smoke detectors, alarms, notification devices, and other life-safety controls. Because the energy is restricted, these circuits are safer to touch and operate in occupied spaces, reducing the risk of shock or fire if a fault occurs. This makes the system tailored to the needs and safety of the people inside the building, rather than exclusively serving the fire department, maintenance staff, or visitors.
