Best Answer

A preset resistor is used in some circuits to change the resistance. The preset resistor enables the circuit to be more or less sensitive thereby altering the resistance.

What is a function of a resistor in a fire alarm circuit?

A resistor in a sensor circuit is used as a simple way to monitor the function of the circuit. The resistor has a calibrated and known voltage drop and current while the circuit is "normal". If there is a short-circuit, or an open-circuit, the voltage and current will change and trigger the trouble alarm.
