Continuous-loop fire detection systems work by:
A
Detecting UV radiation
B
Detecting smoke particles
C
Sensing temperature increase along the element that changes its electrical resistance
CorrectD
Measuring CO2 concentration
Explanation
Continuous-loop (e.g., Fenwal/Kidde) detectors use a sensing element whose resistance decreases with temperature rise, triggering an alarm.
