Question 1823 Deck General

The correct answer is A) outside the space protected. The reasoning for this is that the controls to operate a fixed carbon dioxide fire extinguishing system must be installed in an accessible location outside the space protected. This is a requirement specified in the regulations for small passenger vessels. Placing the controls outside the protected space ensures the system can be activated from a safe location in the event of a fire, without needing to enter the endangered area. The other options are incorrect because: B) placing the controls at the carbon dioxide cylinders would not be an accessible location, C) a padlocked box would not be considered an accessible location, and D) placing the controls inside the protected space would not meet the regulatory requirement.
