CABIN SMOKE DETECTION INDICATION

FAP smoke detection page
The FAP smoke detection page indicates cabin related smoke alerts and
smoke sensor faults. In the case of smoke alert the page will come up auto-
matically regardless of any other previous selected page or FAP function.
The following messages shall be indicated:
 Smoke alerts with location,
 Sensor faults with location,
 Smoke signal reset.
A system configuration by plug−in memory cassette, the Cabin Assignment
Module (CAM), is installed in the front of the FAP. It defines the smoke detec-
tion properties:
 Definition of chime distribution,
 Definition of AIP indications,
 Assignments of call lights,
 Assignments of ACP indications,
 Assignments of smoke zone reset commands,
 Assignments of flashing modes for smoke indications.

FIRE PROTECTION CFDS MENU
On ground, SMOKE WARN TESTS can be selected on the SDCU menu of the
MCDU.
If submenu SMK WARN TEST is selected, a submenu with all smoke detectors
installed is displayed. A test for each smoke detector can be selected by the
line key.
During the test of the lavatory smoke detectors the active CIDS channel sends
a test request to the relative lavatory smoke detector via the DEU B and the
CAN bus.
If the smoke detector is operative it transmits a test−alarm information to the
DEU B. The DEU B transmits the information to the CIDS−SDF via the CIDS
internal bus.
The CIDS starts the cabin indications (chime, FAP, AIP, ACP) and the CIDS−
SDF sets the ARINC 429 outputs to the FWC.
The lavatory smoke warning is displayed on ECAM together with a repetitive
chime and master warning. The test finishes when all indications are con-
firmed or when the MCDU line key RETURN is selected.
NOTE: THE ”SMK DET AVIONICS TEST” IS A PIN−PROGRAMMED OP-
TION.
