In the same room scenario, how many visible appliances are required?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer: (A)

Visible notification devices are placed to give a clear visual alert to occupants. In a single-room scenario, one visible appliance is sufficient because the entire room is covered by that single device’s line of sight; placing it so it is clearly visible from most or all parts of the room ensures the visual alert is noticed quickly. Additional visible appliances inside the same room don’t increase coverage and would be redundant, unless there are unusual obstructions or the room is unusually large, in which case more devices might be needed to maintain visibility from all areas.
