What should systems test free of?

Faults
Grounds
Connections
Short circuits

The correct answer is: Grounds

In fire alarm systems, it is crucial for the equipment to be tested free of grounds. When a system is grounded, it can lead to malfunctions, false alarms, or failure to operate when needed. Ground faults can cause significant issues in the circuitry, leading to erratic system behavior or even total system failure. Proper testing ensures that the system is not inadvertently allowing any stray voltage to affect its operation, ensuring reliability and safety. Testing free of faults, connections, and short circuits is also important, but eliminating grounds is particularly critical in maintaining the integrity of the fire alarm system. Grounds can interfere with the correct signaling and responses of the system, potentially compromising its effectiveness in an emergency situation.
