On an A320, which cabin indicator shows 'Smoke detected'?

• A. Forward Attendant Panel indicates "Smoke detected"
• B. Cabin service panel displays "Smoke detected"
• C. Master call panel displays "Smoke detected"
• D. CSCP/CACP indicates "Smoke detected"

Answer: (A)

Smoke alerts in the A320 cabin are shown on the Forward Attendant Panel. This panel is the primary annunciator for the forward cabin and receives signals from the onboard smoke detectors, so when smoke is detected it displays “Smoke detected” to quickly alert the cabin crew. The other panels serve different functions (cabin service controls, passenger call/interphone, or centralized cabin management) and do not provide this smoke-detection annunciation in the same way. So, the Forward Attendant Panel is the correct indicator for a smoke detection alert.
