San Francisco Alarm Monitor QC Practice Exam

False Alarm Definition is best described as?

A malfunction of remote sensors only A sensor alarm triggered by a real intrusion Any alarm generated by manual switches only Any alarm generated by a sensor which does not have a definite and visible cause and cannot be controlled by an alarm monitor

Correct Answer:

Any alarm generated by a sensor which does not have a definite and visible cause and cannot be controlled by an alarm monitor

Explanation:

A false alarm is an alarm signal from a sensor that happens without a definite, visible cause of danger or intrusion and isn’t something the alarm monitor can directly verify or control. That’s why the choice describing a sensor alarm with no clear cause and not controllable by the monitor fits best. If there’s a real intrusion or a clearly visible trigger, it’s not a false alarm. Options that limit false alarms to sensor malfunctions, or to manual switches only, don’t capture the broader idea that a false alarm is any alarm without a definite, observable cause and that the system can’t confirm or dismiss reliably.
