MASTER FIRE WARNING

Indication
A fire condition enables the master warning card A and B in the MAWEA to
generate warning signals. The signals allow illumination of the master warning
lights and generate the fire bell sound through the speakers. The bell and lights
are reset by pushing either warning light or by pulling a fire handle.
Takeoff Inhibit
The fire warning indications are inhibited during takeoff.
S The inhibit function starts when the computed airspeed is greater than
rotation speed.
S It ends when radio altitude is more than or equal to 400 feet or 20 seconds
after the airplane reaches a 5−degree pitch angle, whichever occurs first.
Landing Inhibit
The fire warning indications are inhibited during landing.
S The inhibit function starts when both the radio altitude becomes less than or
equal to 800 feet and the flaps are in the landing range.

below.
WALTER KIDDE FIRE / OVERHEAT DETECTOR

SENSING ELEMENTS
General
Each detector assembly consists of two sensing elements mounted on a rigid
support tube. The element consists of a tubular sheath of inconel. Within this
sheath is a ceramic−like thermistor core, in which are embedded two electrical
conductors. One conductor, used for ground, is welded to the connector shell
at each end. The second electrical conductor is welded to the connector center
INCONNEL THERMISTOR
contact. CORE
TUBING (GROUND) POWER
The element terminations end in threaded connectors to insure positive SOURCE
engagement. The electrical contacts of the connectors are shrouded by
ceramic insulators to prevent stray metallic chips from causing short circuits
within the connectors.
GROMMET
The detection loops are continuously monitored for faults. If a fault is detected
by one of the loops, the system automatically reconfigures to single loop
operation.
GROUND
Operation
With 28V DC power applied to the system, current is sent from each control SUPPORT
card to the detectors in the corresponding loop. Each detector element has a TUBE
resistance value, and each loop has an equivalent resistance value. The
control card senses a loop voltage potential. As temperature increases, the
detector resistance decreases. When detector element resistance drops to 450

ohms, a timer on the control card starts. If the resistance drops to 250 ohms or
below before the timer has run out, a fault indication is passed on to the
AFOLTS card. If the timer has already expired before the resistance drops to
250 ohms, a fire indication will be given when the detector drops below 250
ohms.
A ground in the circuit between control cards and detector elements will cause
an immediate fault whereas an open circuit will cause a fault when a test is WALTER KIDDE FIRE / OVERHEAT DETECTOR

SENSING
Fault RESPONDER
ELEMENTS
If the gas pressure in the sensing element decreases, the integrity switch
opens and the failure is indicated in the flight deck.
Detector Element
The detector is supported by a support tube and consists of a sensor tube and
a responder. The sensor tube contains a gas−charged core material and
helium under pressure. One end of the tube is sealed and the other end is SYSTRON DONNER FIRE/OVERHEAT DETECTOR
mated through a ceramic isolator and hermetically sealed to the responder. The
sensor tube is thus electrically isolated from the system and is at ground
potential at all times.
Responder
The responder contains two pressure switches and a resistor, and is fitted with
electrical terminal studs. One switch, called integrity switch, is normally held
closed by the helium pressure and provides a fault signal in case of loss of
pressure in the sensor tube.
The other switch, called alarm switch, closes when heat increases the gas
pressure in the sensor tube to snap over its diaphragm. The closed switch then
provides an alarm signal to the appropriate detector control card.

overheat, the equivalent loop resistance is changed, and the voltage sensed by
the control card changes. The card determines which signal is sensed, and
sends an appropriate (alarm or fault) signal to the AFOLTS card. A ground or
an open in the circuit between the control cards and detector elements will
cause an immediate fault. Detector, card or associated wiring features may not
provide a valid fault output at the moment of failure. These inoperative loops
can only be detected during an operational test (see later in this document).

GENERAL
Fire Extinguisher Bottles
The PW 4000 engine powered B747−400 airplane consists of four identical fire
extinguisher bottles. Two bottles A and B are located in each wing. A discharge
manifold connects each two bottles to the two onside engine nacelles.
Engine Fire Handles

When an engine fire is detected the appropriate engine fire handle, located in
the fire control module in the P5 overhead panel, will be illuminated in red.
Pulling and turning the fire handle clockwise or counterclockwise will discharge
one of the fire bottles A and B, depending on the turn direction.
Bottle Discharge Lights
When a fire extinguisher bottle is discharged a pressure switch on each bottle
activates the amber BOTTLE DISCH light in the fire detection module.
Squib Test Module

The squib test module is located in the P461 overhead maintenance panel.
Pushing either of the two test switches will illuminate the four green engine fire
suib test indicators. This test checks the circuitry to the fire bottle squibs.

The squib consists of an electrically operated explosive device. When power is
supplied to the squib, the explosive device detonates and ruptures a diaphragm
in the swivel assembly allowing bottle contents to discharge.
Pressure Switch
The engine fire extinguisher bottle pressure switch is located at the bass of the
bottle. The switch indicates the bottle condition; when the bottle pressure
decreases to 225 psig, the switch operates and provides circuit continuity for
the BTL DISCH lights in the fire control module (P5).
Pressure Switch Test Button

The pressure switch operation and the EICAS indication can be checked on the
ground. Pushing the test button on the pressure switch checks the indicating
circuit continuity, which can be observed in the flight deck on the fire control
module (BTL A/B DISCH lights) and on the EICAS display.

APU FIRE DETECTION
26−15
26−15 APU FIRE DETECTION

GENERAL
Fire Detectors
Two dual fire detector assemblies are located in the APU compartment. The
upper assembly is installed in a vertical position and is approximately parallel to
the aft APU support. The lower assembly is installed on the interior surface of
the left APU access door.
Two different detector manufacturers can be found, as discussed in the engine
section of this book: Systron Donner or Walter Kidde. The operation of both
detecor loops are similar as earlier discussed.
Each detector assembly consists of two detectors mounted in parallel to a rigid
support tube. The detectors are attached by brackets at each end of the tube
and clamps along the tube.
APU Remote Shutdown Module

An APU fire shutdown module is mounted in the right main wheel well. The
panel allows ground staff to be alerted to a fire condition in the APU, since the
APU is used primarily on the ground. The panel has a red fire light, a fire
warning horn, remote APU stop switch, and a switch to discharge the APU fire
extinguisher.
The ground saftety relay system disables the wheel well horn circuit when the
landing gear is not extended. The wheel well horn is silenced when the APU
control module fire handle is pulled or by operating the fire switch on the APU
fire shutdown module.
APU Fire Handle

An APU fire handle is located in the Fire control module in the P5 overhead
panel. The handle operates in the same manner as discussed in the engine
section.
CAUTION: SUPPORT DETECTOR WHEN RELEASING MOUNTING
CLIPS. KEEP DETECTOR BENDING TO A MINIMUM TO
PREVENT DAMAGE TO DETECTOR.

APU FIRE DETECTION CIRCUIT

The two APU fire detector loops are connected to 2 fire detector cards. The
card monitors a fire or a fault condition. The fire detector cards are installed in
the M826 card file in the lefthand crawlway in the MEC.
Fire Detection
The fire, fault and test indication is processed by one Automatic Fire/Overheat
Logic Test Systems (AFOLTS) card. In difference to the engine loops, the APU
loops work in an OR logic. A fire signal from either loop activates the alarm
outputs to the MAWEA, EICAS, the remote shutdown module and the red fire
handle light. The MAWEA enables operation of the fire warning bell and the two
master WARNING lights. Fault outputs from the card enable the EICAS
display.
Power−up Test
When electrical power is provided to the detection system during the initial
airplane power−up operation, the AFOLTS card initiates a test sequence of the
detectors. If one detector loop is not operating (failed), the card will reconfigure
to the second detector allowing the corresponding indication of failure to be
displayed on EICAS.
Manual Test
The test switch FIRE/OVHT TEST on P5 initiates a test sequence of the
AFOLTS card and detectors. The normal response is the same as during the
fire detection. Failure of a detector is indicated on the EICAS display.
CMC Ground Test

A fire detection test can also be initiated via the CMC. The test results are as
described in the manual test. The CMC Ground test needs the Ground test
enable switch to be switched into the enable position.

The APU Fire Detection Card A is supplied with 28VDC fom the BAT BUS and
the DC Bus 1. APU Fire Detection Card B is supplied by the BAT BUS only.
The AFOLTS Card is supplied with 28 VDC from all three power sources.
Signal Flow
The AFOLTS cards send test commands to the APU fire detection cards and
receive fire and fault signals from the fire detection cards. With 28V DC applied
to the system, current is sent from each control card to the detectors in the
corresponding loop. When a detector element pressure switch opens (integrity
switch) due to a fault, or closes (alarm switch) due to a fire, the equivalent loop
resistance is changed and the voltage sensed by the control card. The card
determines which signal is sensed and sends an appropriate (alarm or fault)
signal to the AFOLTS card. A ground or an open in the circuit between the
control cards and detector elements will cause an immediate fault. Detector,
card or associated wiring features may not provide a valid fault output at the
moment of failure. These inoperative loops can only be detected during an
operational test (see later in this document).
APU Fire Test Relay

To prevent an APU shutdown and discharge of the APU fire extinguishing bottle
during test relay R7690 is energized during fire test. This prevents the fire
alarm output of the AFOLTS card from activating the APU automatic fire
extinguishing circuit.

The APU fire extinguisher bottle squib is located at the base of the bottle below
the discharge swivel assembly. The squib is for discharging the fire bottle into
the APU compartment.The squib consists of an electrically operated explosive
device. When power is supplied to the squib, the explosive device detonates
and ruptures a diaphragm in the swivel assembly allowing bottle contents to
discharge.The squib can be removed and replaced without removal of the fire
extinguisher bottle.
Extinguisher Bottle Pressure Switch

The APU fire extinguisher bottle pressure switch is located at the base of the
bottle. The switch is for indication of the bottle condition. When the bottle
pressure decreases to 225 psig, the switch operates and provides circuit
continuity for the indicating system.The pressure switch operation and the
indicating system can be checked on ground. Pushing the test button the
press switch checks the indicating circuit continuity, which can be observed in

APU FIRE EXTINGUISHING SCHEMATIC

The APU fire extinguisher bottle is discharged by the squib located on the base
of the bottle. The power to the squib is provided by discharge switches in the
flight deck or in the right body wheel well. The bottle can be discharged in three
different ways.
APU Fire Extinguishing Flightdeck
The APU fire extinguisher bottle is discharged by pulling and rotating the APU
fire switch handle in the flight deck. Either rotation of the handle provides power
to the squib.

The lower cargo compartments are diveded into four smoke detection zones.
The ejector is located in the aft cargo compartment.
Zone 1 and 2 are located in the lower forward cargo compartment, zone 3 and
4 are located in the aft/bulk lower cargo compartment. Each of these zones is
made up out of two smoke detectors, A and B. Both of the smoke detectors in
ONE zone must sense smoke for activating the AFOLTS card to trigger a fire
alarm. The smoke detectors normally operate in AND logic.
Single Detector Operation

The AFOLTS card in the system will automatically configure the smoke
detectors to single unit operation after system test with a detector failure.
Power Supply
The two systems use DC power from 28 volts DC bus No.1. The system circuit

VENTURI EJECTOR
General
The venturi ejector provides a source of low pressure (vacuum) for the smoke
detectors and smoke sampling ports. It is located under the floor at the forward
end of the aft cargo compartment.
Operation
Air from the pressurized pneumatic manifold flows through the venturi ejector
and exhausts into the left sidewall of the cargo compartment. This airflow
creates a low pressure (vacuum) in the lines connected to the smoke detectors
and sampling ports. A differential pressure between the cargo compartment
and the venturi ejector induces air (or air/smoke mixture) to flow through the
sampling ports and smoke detectors. A pressure switch, located next to the
venturi ejector, monitors the ejector operation. The switch operates between
seven and eleven inches of water.

VENTURI EJECTOR PRESSURE SWITCH CIRCUIT

The venturi ejector pressure switch monitors the operation of the airflow
through the cargo smoke detectors.
Operation
During normal operation of the venturi ejector, the switch senses the pressure
and is open above 11 inches of water. When pressure decreases to 7 inches of
water, the switch closes and the circuit inside the modular avionics warning
electronic assembly (MAWEA) provides an output to the electronic interface
units and EICAS display indicating loss of airflow through the smoke detectors.
The EICAS message is inhibited with less than any two engines operating.
Test
To test the smoke detector ejector you have to put at least two fuel control
switches to RUN position for five minutes (to simulate running engines). The
„>CARGO DET AIR“ Advisory message will appear on the UPR EICAS display.
When the ejector is pressurized from the pneumatic duct, the EICAS message
will dissappear.

SMOKE DETECTORS
General
The smoke detectors are located in the ceiling of the cargo door area in the
forward and aft cargo compartments. The detectors are connected by tubing to
the smoke sampling ports and to a vacuum manifold, allowing air from the
cargo compartment to pass through the detector.
Detector Types
The detectors may either be equipped with lamps or LEDs as pilot lamps. The
basic operation of both detector types is similar. If the detector should be
equipped with lamps, two spare lamps are mounted in the inner side of the
detector assembly.
Maintenance Practices
Access to the detectors is by opening of the access panel near the cargo door.
The smoke detector is removed by disconnecting two air lines, electrical
connector and removing four fasteners.
Alternate detectors are rotated 180° and the electrical connector wire length is
sized and staked to prevent improper connecting of the ”A” and ”B” loops.

SMOKE DETECTOR
Desription
The detector consists of a pilot lamp, light trap, photo cell, test light emitting
diode (LED) and electronic circuit.
Operation
The pilot lamp (or LED) in the smoke detector is supplied with regulated power.
The light from the lamp does not shine onto the photo cell. When smoke is
present, light is reflected by the smoke particles and diverted onto the photo
cell. The circuit resistance decreases and the relay energizes allowing output to
the AFOLTS card.
NOTE: A FAILED DETECTOR MAY NOT BE RECOGNIZED DURING
OPERATION.
Test
During test the pilot lamp and the test LED are supplied with power. Light from
the LED shines onto the photocell simulating presence of smoke. The circuit
resistance decreases and the relay energizes allowing output to the AFOLTS
card.
NOTE: The smoke detectors installed in the forward and aft cargo
compartments, door 5 crew rest area and equipment cooling
system are identical.
The detector lamp replacement is accomplished by removal of the protective
cover. The replacement lamp must conform to a specific part number for
proper detector operation.

General
The smoke detection and test indication is processed by the automatic

DISCHARGE MANIFOLD COMPONENTS

Filter/Drier
One filter/drier is located above the ceiling panel of the forward cargo
compartment forward of the extinguisher bottles. A second filter/drier is located
above the ceiling panel of the aft cargo compartment forward of the main cargo
door. During discharge, the filter/drier removes water from the extinguishing
agent to prevent the discharge nozzles from freezing. The filter/drier must be
replaced after discharge.
Pressure Regulator
One pressure regulator is located above the ceiling of the forward cargo
compartment forward of the extinguisher bottles. A second pressure regulator
is located above the ceiling panel of the aft cargo compartment forward of the
main cargo door. During discharge, the regulator maintains a constant pressure
of approximately 100 psig, allowing the bottles to be discharged gradually over
a period of approximately two hours.
Discharge Nozzle
Four discharge nozzles are located in the ceiling of the forward cargo
compartment and consist of two dump nozzles (from bottles A and B) and two
jet nozzles (from bottles C and D). Six similar discharge nozzles are located in
the ceiling of the aft cargo compartment. The nozzles are installed in pans and
project downwards.
Line Pressure Switch

A pressure switch is installed in the discharge line from bottles A and B to the
forward cargo compartment. During discharge, due to a short discharge line
and nozzles, a small volume of agent fills the line and hence bottle pressure
decreases slowly. The switch operates at 25 psig to provide discharge

indication before bottle A and B pressure switches operate. The discharge line
to the aft cargo compartment is long, hence a large volume of agent fills the
line decreasing pressure in the bottles, causing the bottle switches to operate
immediatly.
Reset
The switch has a manual reset button to reset the switch after discharge of the
bottles.

DESCRIPTION
The wheel well fire detection system provides means for detecting an overheat

The system consists of detectors in a continuous loop located in the wheel
wells. The indications are located in the flight deck.

WHEEL WELL FIRE DETECTOR

General
The continuous detector loop circuit consists of eight detectors, two in each
wheel well, mounted to the upper firewall by clamps. The detector is an inconel
tube filled with saltimpregnated ceramic core and a nickel wire. A power supply
is connected to the nickel wire and the inconel tube is grounded. At low
temperature, the resistance of the core is high preventing current flow to
ground. When the temperature increases to 400°F (204°C), the resistance
decreases allowing current flow to ground which actuates the wheel well fire
indication.
A section of the detector is removed by disconnecting the electrical connectors
at each end and releasing it from supporting clamps.

WHEEL WELL FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM SCHEMATIC

General
The wheel well fire detection circuit transformer is supplied with 115 volt ac
power. Output from the transformer is supplied to the sensing circuit and the
eight wheel well detectors which are connected in series forming a continuous
loop .
Fire Detection
When any of the eight detectors are subjected to a temperature of 400°F
(204°C), a ground is sensed by the sensing circuit. Output from the sensing
circuit closes the solid state switch and energizes relay K1 enabling MAWEA
and EICAS. The MAWEA enables fire bell and two master warning lights.
When the temperature decreases, the sensing circuit is reset.
Test
The sensing element circuit continuity test is by pushing the FIRE/OVHT test
switch on M7317 on P5. Relay R8048 energizes and connects the detector
loop to ground simulating a fire condition. If the loop has continuity and the
sensing circuit operates correctly, the indications are the same as a detected
fire.
CMC Test
The CMC initiates a test of the detector loops the same way as the
FIRE/OVHT Test Switch on the P5.

nineteen thermal switches are located in each wing leading edge, two thermal
switches are located in each strut and up to fifteen thermal switches are
located in the air conditioning bays.
The thermal switches are connected to Burndy blocks located at wing leading
edge station (WLE STA 631 for aircraft with nine thermal switches) or fuselage
station (STA 980 for aircraft with nineteen thermal switches) outboard of the
water tanks. The Burndy blocks are used for isolation of a faulty switch.

GENERAL
The APU duct overheat detection system monitors the air temperature around
the APU bleed air duct. The system includes thermal switches, an indicator
light and a reset switch.
APU BLEED
Components
DUCT
The number of thermal switches installed varies with the effectivity of the
aircraft. Twenty/twentyseven thermal switches are installed along the APU
bleed air duct. They are installed in the aft cargo compartment, in the area aft
of the bulk cargo compartment and along the APU bleed air duct between the
APU check valve and the APU isolation valve. All switches are set to close at
250° F. The thermal switches monitor air temperature for an overheat condition
caused by an APU duct leak.
Thermal Switches
The thermal switches are connected in parallel and are normally in the open
position. An overheat condition caused by a leakage in the duct causes the
thermal switch or switches to close, the indicator light to come on and the
EICAS message to show.

26−13 LAVATORY SMOKE DETECTION

GENERAL
Each lavatory has a smoke detector unit installed on or near the lavatory
ceiling. When the concentration of smoke at the sensor reaches a preset
threshold, the smoke detector unit provides an aural warning to alert the cabin
attendants and flight crew.
Operation
Each smoke detector will activate an alarm horn, and an alarm indicator light
(red) when smoke reaches the preset threshold. Each smoke detector is
connected to an overhead electronics unit. The OEU controls lavatory smoke
indicator lights (one on each lavatory door frame), and EICAS messages. The
overhead electronic unit is a part of the advanced cabin entertainment/ service
system (ACESS) which controls the indications in the event of a lavatory fire
Test
The SELF TEST pushbutton permits testing of the detector unit. When the
SELF TEST pushbutton is pushed, the detectors simulate a fire condition and
these things occur:
− the alarm sounds,
− the alarm indicator light (red) on the smoke detector illuminates.
To stop the alarm indications, release the SELF TEST pushbutton on the
smoke detector. After smoke is detected for a period of time, EICAS
message(s) will be displayed to warn the flight crew.

LAVATORY SMOKE DETECTOR

General
Smoke detectors provide a single tone aural alert and a visual alert to the
passengers and flight attendants when smoke is detected in the lavatory.
The detector consists of a faceplate, housing, sensor unit, alarm horn and
electronic circuitry. The sensor unit uses the ionization detection principle. A
red alarm indicator provides a visual indication when smoke is detected. A
green power indicator light, a reset switch and a self−test switch are located on
the faceplate.
Operation
Sampling for smoke begins immediately after power is provided to the detector,
indicated by illumination of the green light. When smoke is detected, a red
alarm light illuminates and the horn operates. Resetting is after the smoke
condition has been cleared and the horn interrupt switch pushed. If the switch
is used before the smoke has cleared, the alarms will stop and the green light
will extinguish, but when the switch is released, the alarms are reactivated.
Using the self−test switch simulates smoke, resulting in the red light and horn
operating.

26−27 LAVATORY FIRE EXTINGUISHING

GENERAL
The lavatory fire extinguisher detects and extinguishes a fire originating in the
lavatory waste container and under the sink.
Description
An extinguisher is located in each lavatory in the compartment under the wash
basin. It consists of a bottle with two discharge nozzles which are capped and
sealed with eutectic solder. one nozzle responds to temperature in the towel
chute, and the other responds to temperature beneath the wash basin. The
extinguisher provides an extinguishing agent to smother fires occurring in either
of the two areas. The bottle weighs approximately 410 grams of which 125
grams is HALON 1301.
Operation
When the compartment temperature exceeds approximately 170°F (77°C), the
eutectic solder melts and the extinguishing agent is released into the
compartment.
Indicator Strip
The indicator consists of four white temperature sensitive areas which turn
back when exposed to high temperature. It is located inside the cabinet on the
towel chute.
The temperature indicator strip should be checked for high temperature
indication (black) and replaced if high temperature has occurred. The
extinguisher bottle must be checked by weighing. It cannot be recharged.

GENERAL
Two different versions of Crew Rest Area Smoke Detection Systems can be
found onboard the B747−400 airplane, versions 1 and 2.
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (VERSION 1)

General
Two smoke detectors are mounted on the ceiling of the overhead crew rest
area. Three smoke detectors are mounted on the ceiling of the zone F crew
rest area (not illustrated). When the concentration of smoke at the sensor
reaches a preset threshold, the detector responds by providing a voltage output
to the alarm that is integral with the smoke detector, thus alerting flight
crew/attendants to the source.
Overhead Crew Rest Area Smoke Detector
The smoke detector uses an ionization sensor to detect smoke. A very small
amount of radioactive material ionizes the air between the two electrodes
allowing current to flow through the air between the electrodes. Any smoke
particles present interfere with this current flow. The change in current is
sensed by a current amplifier which outputs a signal to turn on the alarm horn
and alarm indicator light.
Each smoke detector unit consists of the following:
S Alarm horn, sounds when smoke is detected.
S Power indicator light(green), illuminated when power is applied to the smoke
detector unit.
S Alarm Indicator Light (red), illuminated when smoke is detected.

S Power/Reset switch.
