Which of the following is NOT listed as a PMCS keyword for the TruDefender?

• A. Sampling tip
• B. Keyboard
• C. Access Door
• D. Power Switch

Answer: (D)

PMCS keywords are the designated terms on the TruDefender maintenance checklist that cue you to inspect or service specific parts during preventive maintenance. Items that typically appear as keywords are discrete, user-accessible components whose condition can directly affect performance, data integrity, or reliability. On the TruDefender, you’ll commonly see keywords like Sampling tip, Keyboard, and Access Door because these are tangible parts you interact with regularly and can inspect for wear, cleanliness, or proper seating.

The Power Switch, while essential to operating the device, is not listed as a separate PMCS keyword on the standard TruDefender checklist. Its function falls under general power-on/power-off checks rather than being flagged as a standalone keyword. Therefore, the item not listed as a PMCS keyword is the Power Switch. When studying, keep in mind that you should still verify the switch works as part of the overall power checks, even though it isn’t a keyword on the list.
