Description
The detector elements on the engine supply fire and overheat detection
signals.
If there is a fire or overheat condition, the signal goes from the detector
elements to the engine and APU fire detection control module.
This module sends the overheat or fire alarm signal to the flight compartment.
Overheat Indication
These are the flight compartment indications for an engine overheat:

• Related P8—1 engine overheat light comes on
• Master caution lights come on
• OVHT/DET annunciator light comes on
• The overheat alarm releases the related P8 panel fire handle lock.
Fire Indication
The fire detection temperature level is higher than the overheat level.
When the engine and APU fire detection control module detects an engine fire
condition, the overheat signal and its flight compartment indications stay
active.
For an engine fire, you get all overheat condition indications.
You also get these indications:
• Related P8—1 fire light comes on
• P7 fire warn light comes on
• Aural warning unit gives a bell sound.
To stop the bell sound, push the P8 panel BELL CUTOUT switch.

APU FIRE DETECTION - INTRODUCTION

Boeing 737-600/700/800/900 ATA 26
FIRE DETECTOR
Purpose
The APU fire detectors monitor for high temperatures in the APU
compartment.
The detector loop has three sense elements. Each element has these
pressure components:
• Fire pressure switch
• Fault pressure switch
• Resistors
• Terminal stud
• Stainless steel gas filled tube.
Location
These are the locations of the three APU sense elements:
• Upper APU compartment
• Lower APU compartment
• Tailpipe.
Upper APU Compt 450F (232C)
Lower APU Compt 450F (232C)
Tailpipe 275F(135C)
Operation
There two pressure switches for each element. One switch senses for fire.
The other switch senses for a FAULT (loss of gas pressure) condition.
Gas pressure in the tube holds the pressure switch in the close position.
The FIRE pressure switch closes when the gas pressure increase because of
a fire condition.
The fire signal goes to the engine and APU fire detection control module which
provides the fire indications in the flight compartment, loss of pressure in the
tube causes the FAULT switch to open.
This causes a large change in resistance.
This supplies a fault signal to the engine and APU fire detection control
module.

APU FIRE DETECTOR

Boeing 737-600/700/800/900 ATA 26
APU FIRE DETECTION – DESCRIPTION
Fire Condition
The APU detection components monitor only for fire and fault conditions.
At the fire temperature set point, the gas expands to close the FIRE pressure
switch in the detector element.
This decreases the resistance of the detector element.
If they sense a fire condition, the signal goes to the engine and APU fire
detection control module.
These are the results of a fire condition:
• APU fire handle lights come on
• APU fire handle unlocks
• P7 FIRE WARN lights come on
• Aural Warning Unit gives the bell sound
• APU automatic shutdown
• APU remote horn and light operate.
The horn sound and the red light operate alternately at a one time per second
rate.

OVERHEAT DETECTION CONTROL MODULE
Purpose
The compartment overheat detection control module monitors detectors in the
wheel well and the wing and body areas for overheat and fire conditions.
The control circuits for the wheel well fire detection and the wing/body
overheat detection are in the module.
The front panel has these components:
• MAINT ADV light
• LED display
• BITE instructions
• Four BITE control switches.
Location
The compartment overheat detection control module is in the etectronic
equipment compartment on the E1—4 rack.
General operation
For normal conditions, the MAINT ADV light is off.
When the MAINT ADV light comes on, it shows there is a fault or an alarm
condition.
The light does not come on with codes 00 to 05.
Use the BITE functions to find the fault or alarm condition.
These are the functions of the BITE control switches:
• LOC TEST switch initiates a test sequence of the control circuits and
detector elements. This test will display codes 00 to 05, open loop codes
and short loop codes.
• MEM READ switch shows the fault code for the last item kept in memory
• MEM CLEAR switch erases the non—volatile memory. You can not erase
current faults and alarms until corrected
• DISP TEST switch makes sure the control circuits operate correctly. This is
indicated by code 88 being displayed.
The non-volatile memory provides a storage area for ten fault/alarms.
Failure of the control cards, power supply card, loss of ac or dc power are not
stored.
These failures are coded 00 to 05.
Short circuit faults are stored as alarm codes.

OVERHEAT DET.- CTRL MODULE

Boeing 737-600/700/800/900 ATA 26
FENWAL UNIT - GENERAL BITE OPERATION
The system has both hardware and software built in test features.
A description of BITE follows. The BITE operating instructions are posted on
the cover plate of the M237 module.
Pushing the OVHT TEST switch on the P5-10 panel, tests all detectors for
continuity and faults.
All flight compartment displays of compartment overheat will display if each
loop is operating correctly.
Any faults detected during the test will be stored in the non-volatile memory for
recall as required.
At the M237 compartment overheat accessory unit, pushing the DISP TEST
switch initiates a self test of the display and associated circuits.
Code 88 is displayed as long as the switch is held if there is no failed dc
power source.
Momentarily pushing the LOC TEST switch initiates a self test of the control
circuits and sensing elements.
While the local test is being performed, the display indicates code 90.
If a fault condition is detected during the test sequence, the code for that fault
condition is indicated by the display for approximately two minutes.
Another momentary push of the LOC TEST switch during the two minute
display interval causes the test sequence to continue.
If not continued, the test sequence terminates after approximately two
minutes.
When the entire test sequence has been performed, code 99 is displayed for
approximately one minute.
The test sequence initiated by the LOC TEST switch can be terminated at any
time by pushing the DISP TEST switch.
When an alarm/fault condition is identified, the code is stored in the non-
volatile memory for recall as required.
The condition is stored in non-volatile memory until the condition is resolved
and the memory is cleared.
The fault history stores the last ten codes that were cleared from the active
non-volatile memory.
Access to these functions is gained through the four BITE pushbutton
switches on the M237 module cover plate.

The compartment overheat detection control module supplies power to the

detector elements.
The microprocessor monitors the wing/body detector elements for overheat
conditions.
If the microprocessor senses a wing/body overheat condition it holds the
alarm in memory and sets the alarm condition.
These are the indications of a wing/body overheat condition:
• Related P5 wing—body overheat light comes on
• P7 master caution and AIR COND lights comes on
• MAINT ADV light comes on.
Push and hold the P5 OVHT TEST switch for 5 seconds to start a test of the
wing and body overheat detection system.
If the test is successful, the two P5 wing - body lights and the P7 master
caution lights come on.
The test does a check of the continuity of the sensing elements.
If the sensing element has continuity, the indications are the same as during a
real alarm.
If the sensing element does not have continuity, there are no indications in the
flight compartment.
There is no difference between the real alarm and a short circuit. If there is a
short circuit, the indications are the same as for a real alarm.
The faulty sensing element (no continuity or a short circuit) can be found by
the coded indications on the compartment overheat detection controller
