The keypad located at each facility alleviates interaction with which group?

• A. Operator
• B. ECC
• C. Security
• D. Maintenance

Answer: (B)

Local control is the key idea here: the keypad at each facility lets on-site personnel arm, disarm, and acknowledge alarms without calling the central team. The Emergency Control Center coordinates monitoring and response across facilities, so having a keypad on site reduces routine interactions with that central group and keeps ECC focused on incidents and escalations. The keypad isn’t about replacing on-site operators, security guards, or maintenance actions; it’s about enabling quick, local control to limit how often you need to contact ECC. That’s why the correct group is the Emergency Control Center.
