Exam Details

The Nevada C-2D Low Voltage trade examination is administered through PSI for candidates who receive examination eligibility through the Nevada State Contractors Board.

• Exam: Nevada C-2D Low Voltage
• Number of Questions: 35
• Time Allowed: 1 hour
• Minimum Passing Score: 25 correct answers
• Testing Provider: PSI

The C-2D examination content is divided into nine technical areas:

• Sound and Communications: 5 questions
• Services, Feeders, Branch Circuits and Overcurrent Protection: 5 questions
• Conductors: 5 questions
• General Knowledge and Calculations: 6 questions
• Grounding and Bonding: 4 questions
• Power Supplies: 3 questions
• Intrusion Alarm Systems: 5 questions
• Utilization and General Use Equipment: 1 question
• Raceways and Enclosures: 1 question

General Knowledge and Calculations is the largest individual category with six questions. Candidates should develop a dependable understanding of electrical principles, low-voltage terminology, basic calculations, circuit relationships, and practical system concepts.

Sound and Communications, Services and Overcurrent Protection, Conductors, and Intrusion Alarm Systems each contain five questions. Together, these subjects represent a substantial part of the examination. Preparation should include communications cabling, conductor selection, circuit arrangements, overcurrent protection concepts, intrusion alarm components, and the electrical principles that support low-voltage system installation.

Grounding and Bonding contains four questions. Candidates should understand the purpose of grounding and bonding and practice locating applicable requirements in the 2017 National Electrical Code.

Power Supplies contains three questions. Candidates should review power sources, low-voltage supply concepts, equipment requirements, and the relationship between power sources and the systems they serve.

Utilization and General Use Equipment and Raceways and Enclosures each contain one question. These are smaller sections, but they should not be ignored because every question contributes toward the required passing score.

With 35 questions in one hour, candidates need a steady test-taking pace. Strong preparation should combine trade knowledge with code-navigation skill so time is not lost searching the National Electrical Code for information that should already be understood from study.

Open Book Test

The Nevada C-2D Low Voltage trade examination is an open-book test. The approved exam-room reference included with this package is:

• NFPA 70 - National Electrical Code, 2017 Edition

The National Electrical Code supports preparation involving conductors, grounding and bonding, services, feeders, branch circuits, overcurrent protection, raceways, enclosures, power supplies, utilization equipment, and other electrical requirements connected with the C-2D examination.

Candidates should practice using the NEC index, Article organization, definitions, tables, numbered sections, exceptions, and cross-references before examination day. Efficient code navigation can help candidates locate specific requirements without spending excessive time searching unrelated portions of the book.

Telecommunications Wiring, Clyde Herrick, 2001, 3rd Edition is a study reference and is not allowed into the C-2D trade examination.

This book should be used to build practical understanding of telecommunications wiring, cabling systems, communications concepts, installation methods, terminology, and related low-voltage trade practices before testing. Since the book cannot be used during the exam, candidates should focus on understanding and retention rather than depending on the reference for every answer.

Open-book testing still requires strong preparation. Candidates who attempt to research every question in the National Electrical Code can lose valuable testing time. A better study strategy combines memorized trade knowledge with targeted NEC navigation for questions that truly require a code lookup.

Regular practice with the NEC can also help candidates learn where different types of information are located. Conductors, grounding, overcurrent protection, raceways, and equipment requirements are easier to research when candidates have already developed familiarity with the overall structure of the code book.

Licensing Steps

The Nevada State Contractors Board regulates C-2D Low Voltage contractor licensing. Applicants must complete the applicable experience, application, examination, financial, background, and final licensing requirements.

1. Confirm the C-2D classification. Determine that the Low Voltage classification matches the type of work the contracting business intends to perform.
2. Identify the qualifying individual. Designate the person who will satisfy the applicable trade qualification requirements for the company.
3. Document qualifying experience. Prepare records demonstrating relevant low-voltage work experience in the requested classification.
4. Prepare the contractor license application. Gather the required business information, qualifier documentation, experience records, financial information, and supporting materials.
5. Submit the application to the Nevada State Contractors Board. The Board reviews the application and determines whether the applicable qualification requirements are satisfied.
6. Complete applicable background requirements. Follow the fingerprint and background procedures required during the Nevada contractor licensing process.
7. Provide applicable financial information. Nevada evaluates financial responsibility as part of contractor licensing.
8. Receive examination eligibility. Eligible candidates may proceed with required testing after the Board reviews the applicable qualifications.
9. Schedule the C-2D trade examination through PSI. Arrange the Low Voltage examination after authorization is issued.
10. Prepare for the C-2D examination. Review communications, conductors, calculations, grounding and bonding, power supplies, intrusion alarm systems, overcurrent protection, raceways, equipment, and NEC navigation.
11. Prepare for Nevada Business and Law. Use the Construction Business and Law Manual for Nevada for contractor management preparation.
12. Complete the applicable examinations. Meet the trade and management qualification requirements unless an applicable waiver is approved.
13. Complete final licensing requirements. Address applicable financial responsibility, bonding, and remaining Board requirements before license issuance.

Application Service is included with this Ultimate package to support candidates with organizing the Nevada contractor licensing application process while they focus on technical preparation and Business and Law study.

State Requirements

The Nevada C-2D Low Voltage classification covers qualifying low-voltage and fiber-optic systems within the scope established for the classification. This can include telephone systems, sound systems, cable television systems, closed-circuit video systems, satellite dish antennas, instrumentation and temperature controls, computer networking systems, and landscape lighting.

Candidates should understand that the C-2D license is a specialty contractor classification. Contractors should operate within the scope authorized by the license and recognize when work may require a different Nevada contractor classification.

For the standard Nevada contractor licensing pathway, the Trade Qualified Individual generally must demonstrate at least four years of qualifying experience as a journeyman, foreman, supervising employee, or contractor in the requested classification.

Qualifying experience should reflect practical familiarity with low-voltage systems, communications wiring, conductors, grounding and bonding, power supplies, intrusion alarm systems, equipment, raceways, and related installation work.

Nevada contractor licensing includes both trade and management qualification requirements. One individual may serve as both the Management Qualified Individual and Trade Qualified Individual when all applicable requirements are satisfied, or separate individuals may fill those roles.

The Trade Qualified Individual establishes the required trade experience and qualification for the C-2D classification. The Management Qualified Individual generally satisfies the Nevada contractor Business and Law requirement unless an applicable waiver is approved.

The contractor licensing process also includes financial responsibility, background requirements, bonding, and a monetary limit associated with the license. Passing the C-2D trade exam is an important step, but it does not by itself complete the Nevada contractor licensing process.
