Which alarm is intended to alert occupants on the premises rather than contacting a monitoring service?

• A. Zone Noncoded
• B. Central Station
• C. Protected Premise Local Alarm
• D. Auxiliary

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is the type of alarm that provides a local, on-site warning for people inside the building instead of signaling a remote monitoring service.

Protected Premise Local Alarm is designed to sound and alert occupants right where they are, inside the premises. It doesn’t rely on a monitored connection to a central station, so its purpose is immediate, on-site notification and evacuation support.

In contrast, a central station option is specifically about sending signals to a monitoring service or dispatch center, which means outside contact rather than just warning those on the premises. The other terms describe aspects of signaling or auxiliary functionality within a system, rather than the primary goal of alerting people on the premises.
