Embodiments provide for improved determination of whether an audio protector is sufficiently fit to a wearer. By automatically performing the improved fit testing processes described, embodiments may warn users in circumstances where fit of their audio protector is dissatisfactory. Some embodiments include receiving external audio data and internal audio data including a filtered range of frequencies, generating comparative internal data by applying the internal audio data to an inverse attenuation model, identifying an audio processing mode based at least in part on the external audio data and/or the internal audio data, the audio processing mode associated with an audio comparison model, computing energy differential data by applying the comparative internal data and the external audio data to the audio comparison model; and determining a fit result based at least in part on the energy differential data.

A fire and smoke actuator includes a temperature sensor for sensing an operating temperature of the fire and smoke actuator, a drive motor, an actuator output for coupling to the damper in order to move the damper between the open position and the closed position and a drivetrain that is operably coupled between the drive motor and the actuator output. The drive motor, when activated, is configured to actuate the actuator output, via the drivetrain, to move the damper between the open position and the closed position. A drive circuit is operably coupled to the drive motor and the temperature sensor and is configured to activate the drive motor to move the damper between the open position and the closed position at a non-zero speed that is based, at least in part, on the operating temperature sensed by the temperature sensor.
