California C-20 exam practice question · Fabrication, Installation & Startup

During smoke-control testing, the fan starts before the required dampers reach position. What must be corrected and retested?

  • Correct and functionally test the approved control sequence
  • BIncrease refrigerant charge for the described HVAC equipment and measured operating conditions
  • CRemove smoke detectors
  • DDisable status feedback

Why A is correct

The best answer is: Correct and functionally test the approved control sequence. Smoke control depends on coordinated fan, damper, pressure, alarm, and firefighter-control actions. Individual component operation does not prove system performance. The transferred operating condition requires the same design, installation, diagnostic, or safety principle in a different HVAC context. The other choices skip a prerequisite, conflict with the listed procedure, or treat a symptom without controlling its cause.
