How many times will the alarm monitor attempt to make contact with the custodian before resorting to a different method?

• A. 1 time
• B. 2 times
• C. 3 times
• D. 4 times

Answer: (C)

The alarm monitor uses a staged contact approach: it makes a set number of attempts to reach the custodian, then escalates if there’s no response. Three attempts give the custodian a fair chance to answer while keeping the response time reasonable. If all three attempts fail, the system automatically switches to a different notification method, such as alerting a supervisor or security. So, the monitor will attempt contact three times before changing methods.
