Here are the answers to the questions based on OPTION 1: THE SECURITY SYSTEM.

1.6.1) Two electronic components that will be used in the security system are:

  • Motion sensors
  • Central control unit

1.6.2) Two electrical components that will be used in the security system are:

  • Backup battery
  • Mains electricity supply

1.6.3) The function of the backup battery in the security system is to provide continuous power to the system in case of a power outage or failure of the primary power source, ensuring the security system remains operational and protective.

1.6.4) A suitable power source for the security system, other than the backup battery, is the mains electricity supply (AC power).

1.6.5) Two factors the project team should consider when selecting components for the security system are:

  • Cost: The components must fit within the allocated budget of R15 000 to ensure the project is financially viable.
  • Reliability: The components must be durable and function consistently to effectively protect the hall's assets and ensure the safety of its members without frequent failures.

1.6.6)

  1. Identify the given values.

    Cost per motion sensor = R250
    Total budget for sensors = R5000

  2. Calculate the maximum number of motion sensors.

    Number of sensors=Total budget for sensorsCost per sensor\text{Number of sensors} = \frac{\text{Total budget for sensors}}{\text{Cost per sensor}} Number of sensors=R5000R250\text{Number of sensors} = \frac{\text{R}5000}{\text{R}250} Number of sensors=20\text{Number of sensors} = 20

    The maximum number of motion sensors that can be purchased is 20 sensors\boxed{\text{20 sensors}}.

    1.6.7) It is important for the security system to be scalable for future expansion because the needs of the Siyakhanya Community Hall may change over time, requiring more coverage or additional features. Scalability allows for cost-effective upgrades and additions without needing to replace the entire system, thus extending its lifespan and adaptability.
