What is the term for the predetermined amount of time a stun device will discharge automatically when activated?

• A. Duration
• B. Cycle
• C. Interval
• D. Limit

Answer: (B)

The main idea is about the complete active period when the device is triggered. When you activate it, the device delivers energy for a fixed, pre-set length of time before automatically stopping. That entire on-phase is called a cycle. It captures the idea of a full discharge run, which may include several pulses, but the key point is that the cycle is the defined duration the device stays on before turning off on its own.

If you think in contrast: duration would refer to how long each individual pulse lasts, not the whole active period. An interval is the quiet gap between pulses or cycles, and a limit is just a maximum cap, not the actual on-time.
