1. _______
General
A. The fire detection system provides a means of detecting a fire
or overheat condition in the left or right engine and auxiliary
power unit (APU) compartment, and alerting the crew by aural
and visual indications. The system consists of the following
components:
Fire detector units
Fire detector control units
Fire warning indicating components (aural/visual)
FIRE BELL OFF switch
Fire detector system panel
FIRE DETECTOR LOOP light
Loop test switches
Central aural warning (vocal/aural)
B. Fire Detector Units
(1) Each fire detector unit is an assembly consisting of two
sensing elements mounted in close proximity on a rigid
support tube. There are three fire detector units installed
on the engine. One unit is routed longitudinally on under-
side of the engine and two units are mounted to the fire-
shield barrier, one on the top and one on the bottom. The
fireshield barrier is installed between the engine burner
section and the pylon, and mounted on the engine. In the
APU compartment, the units are installed one on each side of
the compartment enclosure. In each area, the sensing ele-
ments of one unit are connected to the sensing elements of
the other unit by an electrical harness forming two com-
plete independent sensing loops (Ref. Figures 1, 2 and 3).
(2) The sensing elements are the basic components that detect a
fire condition and initiate activation of the fire warning
indicating components. The elements consist of two con-
ductor wire embedded in a thermister-type insulation inside
a metal tube.

(3) The capability for determining a fire condition is
accomplished by monitoring the resistance value of the sens-
ing elements, as measured from one conductor to the other
conductor grounded to the shell. The resistance value will
decrease as temperature increases. A fire condition will
cause the sensing element resistance to reach a predeter-
mined resistance value, thus initiating the sequence for
activating the fire warning indications.
C. Fire Detector Control Units
(1) The fire detector control units are hermetically sealed
electrical devices, that contain the circuits for monitoring
the resistance values of the sensing elements. There are
three control units, one for each fire area, located in the
electrical/electronics compartment. There are two monitor-
ing circuits in each control unit that provide a separate
monitoring circuit for each sensing element loop in an area.
Each monitoring circuit contains two relays that are ener-
gized when a resistance value, corresponding to a fire con-
dition, is received from the sensing element loops. When
the relays in each circuit are energized, the respective
fire warning components for the area will be activated. An
additional relay in each unit is used in the engine units
only to cut off the aural fire warning sound. The relay is
engergized by the fire bell off switch.
D. Fire Warning Indicating Components
(1) The fire warning indicating components, location, and fire
area they represent are as follows:

E. Aural Warning Off Switch
(1) A FIRE BELL OFF switch, located on the upper instrument
panel, can be used to cut off the engine or APU aural fire
warning by depressing the switch. The engine aural fire
warning will automatically be cut off by switches actuated
when either fire control handle is pulled to full out posi-
tion. APU fire warning will automatically cut off after 3
cycles.
F. Fire Detector System Panel
(1) A fire detector system panel is located on the overhead
switch panel in the flight compartment. The panel contains
six amber colored lights and three switches arranged in
three groups. Each group consists of two lights and a
switch and represents a designated fire area. Each light in
a group represents one of the two sensing element loops,
loop A or Loop B. The amber lights provide visual indica-
tion of sensing element loops circuit integrity during nor-
mal operation or test procedures. The switches have three
selective lever locked positions; BOTH, A, and B. The
switches provide means for selecting individual loops for
integrity tests, or maintaining fire detection operation in
an area where a fire detector circuit has been analyzed as
open by an integrity check. For normal system operation,
the switch is placed in the BOTH position.

G. Fire Detector Loop Light
(1) An amber fire detector loop light, located in the annuncia-
tor panel, will come on when any of the loop lights on the
fire detector system panel comes on.
NOTE:
____ When any four of the six fire detector system cir-
cuit breakers in the lower EPC circuit breaker panel
are pulled, the FIRE DETECTOR LOOP warning light
will come on.
H. Loop Test Switches
(1) Loop A and loop B test switches are located on the upper
instrument panel in the flight compartment. An integrity
check of the fire detection system is performed by pressing
the test switches, completing a circuit through the sensing
elements to ground, simulating a fire condition.
2. _________
Operation
A. Normal fire detection is automatic when the aircraft electrical
buses are energized and the applicable fire detector system
circuit breakers are closed.
B. If a fire condition occurs in a designated fire area, the two
sensing elements are subjected to temperature rise. The
temperature rise will cause the resistance value of the ele-
ments to decrease. At a predetermined resistance value, each
sensing element monitoring circuit, in the fire detector
control unit, will energize the relays in its circuit. The
energized relays will activate the respective fire warning
indicating components. When the fire is extinguished, the
temperature and sensing elements resistance values should
return to normal. The monitor circuits will deenergize the
relays and the fire warning indicating components will go off.
The aural fire warning will be automatically cut off, when
either engine fire control handle for an engine area is pulled
full out. The aural warning can be cut off before pulling the
fire control handle by depressing the fire bell off switch.
There is no designated control to cut off the fire APU warning
horn.

C. During normal operations, if a sensing element loop or the
monitoring circuit in the fire detector control unit should
ground fault, the monitoring circuit relays in the control unit
for that loop will be energized and the corresponding loop
light on the fire detector system panel will come on. The
integrity of the companion loop should be checked by depressing
both loop test switches. The companion loop light should come
on. All fire warning indicating components should also come
on, and then go off when loop test switches are released. This
will indicate the companion loop is operational and fire
detection for the area will operate normally.
The loop light activated by the ground faulted loop can be
turned off by placing the area selector switch in the position
of the operational loop. A recheck should be made of the
operational loop by depressing both loop test switches.
NOTE:
____ When the loop selector switches are in the BOTH posi-
tion, both sensing element circuits must be operational
to cause the fire warning indicating components to come
on. Placing a switch in either LOOP A or LOOP B posi-
tion, switches the circuits so that only the selected
loop need operate, or corresponding loop test switch be
pressed to activate the fire warning indicating
components.
D. During a loop integrity check, if the fire warning indicating
components and one loop light for an area do not come on, it
indicates an open in that loop circuit. Fire detection can be
maintained by placing the area loop selector switch in the
position of the operational loop. A loop integrity recheck
should produce fire warning component indication (Ref. note,
step C.).
E. When a fire condition activates the fire warning indicating
components, the corresponding loop lights on the fire detector
system panel will also come on.
F. A loop integrity check for the fire detector system sensing
elements and circuits can be made by placing the selector
switches on the fire detector system panel in the both posi-
tion and depressing both loop test switches. The fire warning
indicating components (except fire warning horn and light on
APU ground control panel), and the amber loop lights should
come on, and then go off when the loop test switches are
released. An individual check of each loop circuit can be made
by placing the selector switch in the applicable loop position
and depressing the applicable loop test switch. The fire warn-
ing indicating components and loop lights for the area selected
should come on, and then go off when loop test switches are
released.

selective lever locked positions; BOTH, A, and B. The
switches provide means for selecting individual loops for
integrity tests, or maintaining fire detection operation in
an area where a fire detector circuit has been analyzed as
open by an integrity check. For normal system operation,
the switch is placed in the BOTH position.

G. Fire Detector Loop Light
(1) An amber FIRE DETECTOR LOOP light, located in the annuncia-
tor panel, will come on when any of the loop lights on the
fire detector system panel comes on.
NOTE:
____ When any four of the six fire detector system cir-
cuit breakers in the lower EPC circuit breaker panel
are pulled, the fire detector loop warning light
will come on.
H. Loop Test Switches
(1) Loop A and loop B test switches are located on the upper
instrument panel in the flight compartment. An integrity
check of the fire detection system is performed by pressing
the test switches, completing a circuit through the sensing
elements to ground, simulating a fire condition.
2. _________
Operation
A. Normal fire detection is automatic when the aircraft electrical
buses are energized and the applicable fire detector system
circuit breakers are closed.
B. If a fire condition occurs in a designated fire area, the two
sensing elements are subjected to temperature rise. The
temperature rise will cause the resistance value of the ele-
ments to decrease. At a predetermined resistance value, each
sensing element monitoring circuit, in the fire detector
control unit, will energize the relays in its circuit. The
energized relays will activate the respective fire warning
indicating components. When the fire is extinguished, the
temperature and sensing elements resistance values should
return to normal. The monitor circuits will deenergize the
relays and the fire warning indicating components will go off.
The aural fire warning will be automatically cut off, when
either engine fire control handle for an engine area is pulled
full out. The aural warning can be cut off before pulling the
fire control handle by depressing the fire bell off switch.
There is no designated control to cut off the fire APU warning
horn.

C. During normal operations, if a sensing element loop or the
monitoring circuit in the fire detector control unit should
ground fault, the monitoring circuit relays in the control unit
for that loop will be energized and the corresponding loop
light on the fire detector system panel will come on. The
integrity of the companion loop should be checked by depressing
both loop test switches. The companion loop light should come
on. All fire warning indicating components should also come
on, and then go off when loop test switches are released. This
will indicate the companion loop is operational and fire
detection for the area will operate normally.
The loop light activated by the ground faulted loop can be
turned off by placing the area selector switch in the position
of the operational loop. A recheck should be made of the
operational loop by depressing both loop test switches.
NOTE:
____ When the loop selector switches are in the BOTH posi-
tion, both sensing element circuits must be operational
to cause the fire warning indicating components to come
on. Placing a switch in either LOOP A or LOOP B posi-
tion, switches the circuits so that only the selected
loop need operate, or corresponding loop test switch be
pressed to activate the fire warning indicating
components.
D. During a loop integrity check, if the fire warning indicating
components and one loop light for an area do not come on, it
indicates an open in that loop circuit. Fire detection can be
maintained by placing the area loop selector switch in the
position of the operational loop. A loop integrity recheck
should produce fire warning component indication (Ref. note,
step C.).
E. When a fire condition activates the fire warning indicating
components, the corresponding loop lights on the fire detector
system panel will also come on.
F. A loop integrity check for the fire detector system sensing
elements and circuits can be made by placing the selector
switches on the fire detector system panel in the BOTH posi-
tion and depressing both loop test switches. The fire warning
indicating components (except fire warning horn and light on
APU ground control panel), and the amber loop lights should
come on, and then go off when the loop test switches are
released. An individual check of each loop circuit can be made
by placing the selector switch in the applicable loop position
and depressing the applicable loop test switch. The fire warn-
ing indicating components and loop lights for the area selected
should come on, and then go off when loop test switches are
released.

EXTINGUISHING - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
_________________________________________
1. _______
General
A. The extinguishing system consists of a fixed fire extinguishing
system and portable fire extinguishers. The fixed system is
used to extinguish fires in the engine and APU compartments.
The system consists of two fire extinguisher containers, fire
extinguishing agent deployment lines, fire extinguishing dis-
charge controls and circuits, and the low agent indicating
lights. The portable fire extinguishers are hand operated and
used to extinguish fires in the flight compartment, passenger
compartment, or areas accessible from the compartments.
2. Fixed Fire Extinguishing System Components

__________________________________________
A. Fire Extinguisher Containers
(1) The two 536 cubic inch (8785.04 cubic centimeter) fire
extinguisher containers are installed in the aircraft aft
accessory compartment. The containers are charged with
14.6(±1) pounds (6.6(±.454) kg) of bromotrifluoromethane
extinguishing agent at 600 (+25, -0) psig at 70 degrees
Fahrenheit (21.1 degrees Celsius). Each container provides
one extinguishing shot. The containers are identical, and
consist of a spherical steel container and a pressure
switch. Three outlet ports on the container provide for
agent release to any one of the fire areas. A discharge
valve bonnet is installed on each outlet port. The
discharge valves serve as an adapter between the container
and deployment lines, and provide for installation of the
explosive cartridge. Each outlet port is sealed by a seal
disc to retain the pressurized extinguishing agent. The
fully charged containers (less discharge heads and
cartridges, and with protective caps) wiegh 22.95 pounds
(10.4 kg).
(2) A pressure switch is installed in the container. The pres-
sure switch will close and activate the low agent indicating
lights when the container is discharged.

B. Fire Extinguisher Explosive Cartridges
(1) The fire extinguisher explosive cartridges are electrically
fired and provide the force to rupture the seals in the fire
extinguisher containers for extinguishing agent release. An
explosive cartridge is installed in each discharge head on
the fire extinguisher containers. Each cartridge contains
two squibs (powder charges). Electrical power to fire the
cartridges is supplied to each squib through a two-pin
electrical connector on the cartridge. When the fire
extinguisher container seal disc is ruptured the extinguish-
ing agent is released.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
C. Fire Extinguishing Deployment Lines
(1) The fire extinguishing deployment lines disperse the
released extinguishing agent from the containers to the
selected fire area. Each right and left engine, and APU
compartment fire areas, are served by an individual deploy-
ment line system, consisting of two flexible hoses, a wye
unit, and rigid metal tubing. Each hose is connected
between the respective discharge head on one of the fire
extinguisher containers and the system wye unit. The wye
unit is a junction point which receives the released agent
from either container and deploys it into a rigid metal line
routed to the fire area.
(2) The deployment lines to the engine areas terminate at five
discharge outlets. One outlet is located at the forward end
of the pylon and one outlet in the aft end of the pylon.
The other three outlets are located strategically between
the closing rib and the firewall in the pylon. The outlets
disperse the extinguishing agent directly into the engine
area at a proper rate for effective extinguishing.
(3) The APU deployment line terminates at two different sized
outlets on the left side of the APU compartment. The
extinguishing agent is dispersed directly on the auxiliary
power unit.
D. Fire Extinguishing Discharge Controls
(1) Fire extinguishing discharge controls provide the crew with
the means to select and initiate fire extinguishing agent
discharge from either fire extinguisher container to any one
of the three fire areas. The left and right engine fire
control handles are located on the upper instrument panel in
the flight compartment. To initiate discharge action for an
engine area, the respective handle is pulled full out and
turned counterclockwise to activate fire extinguisher con-
tainer 1 (bottle 1) or turned clockwise to fire container 2
(bottle 2). The handles are spring-loaded to the center
position. The initial pullout action of a handle will close
the respective engine fuel, hydraulic, and pneumatic cross-
feed valve, open the generator field and open the aural fire
warning circuit. When the handle is returned to the normal
in position, the fuel and hydraulic valves will open. The
pneumatic valve must be opened by the control on the center
pedestal. The generator field circuit will close when the
generator control switch is momentarily placed in the reset
position (Ref. Chapter 24). The aural warning circuit will
return to a normal closed circuit.

(2) There are four fire extinguishing discharge switches for the
APU compartment. Two are located on the overhead switch
panel in the flight compartment and two on the APU ground
fire control panel in the aft exterior fuselage. The
switches are off, momentary on switches and each switch
fires one of the two fire extinguisher containers when
actuated to the agent DISCH position (circuit armed).
(3) A fire control switch is located adjacent to the discharge
switches in the flight compartment. The switch has a NOR-
MAL, and an APU OFF & AGENT ARM position. Before discharge
action, the fire control switch must be placed in the APU
OFF and AGENT ARM position. This will arm the discharge
switches and close an electrical holding circuit to the fire
shutdown relay.
NOTE:
____ The APU fire shutdown relay is automatically ener-
gized by a fire signal relay when a fire condition is
detected in the APU compartment. The energized relay
will cause the APU fuel and pneumatic valves to close
and will open the APU control and ignition circuits.
The holding circuit is provided to keep the relay
energized until the APU MASTER switch is placed in
OFF position.
(4) An APU SHUTOFF switch is located adjacent to the APU dis-
charge switches on the APU ground fire control panel. The
switch has a NORMAL and SHUTOFF position. Before discharge
action from the APU ground fire control panel, the switch
must be placed in the APU SHUTOFF position to place the
electrical holding circuit on the fire shutdown relay. The
discharge switches on the APU ground fire control panel are
armed for operation when the fire control switch, in the
flight compartment, is in NORM position.
(5) The APU fire shutdown relay and fire signal relay are
located on the relay panel in the electrical/electronics
compartment. The fire signal relay is energized by the APU
compartment sensing elements when a fire condition is
detected. The energized fire signal relay energizes the APU
fire shutdown relay.
(6) The engine generator field shutoff switches are located in
the aft lower part of the center pedestal. The switches are
actuated when the respective engine fire control handle is
pulled full out.

E. Low Agent Indicating Lights
(1) There are four AGENT LOW indicating lights. Two are located
on the upper instrument panel in the flight compartment and
two on the APU ground fire control panel. Each of the two
lights on the panels represents one of the two fire extin-
guisher containers. When a container is discharged or pres-
sure drops to below sufficient operating psi, the
corresponding AGENT LOW indicating lights will come on.
F. Portable Fire Extinguishers
(1) Portable fire extinguishers are located in the flight and
passenger compartments. The extinguishers are of the carbon
dioxide and water types. The extinguishers are mounted in
individual supports and held in position in the supports by
quick-action release straps.
(a) Carbon Dioxide Extinguisher: The carbon dioxide fire
extinguishers use carbon dioxide as an extinguishing
agent, and are located in the flight compartment and pas-
senger compartment. The extinguishers weigh approximately
6.5 pounds (2.95 Kg) fully charged. To discharge the car-
bon dioxide, move the discharge horn to the full up posi-
tion and then depress the trigger located in the handle.
If excessive pressure develops in an extinguisher due to
overcharging or heat, a safety seal disc in the valve body
will rupture and the carbon dioxide will be discharged.
(b) Water Fire Extinguisher: The water extinguishers when
fully charged contain 1 3/8 quarts (44 ounces)(1.3 liters)
of water, with or without an antifreeze agent, and weigh
approximately 7 pounds (3.17 Kg). A carbon dioxide car-
tridge, located inside a holder on the discharge head, is
used to pressurize the cylinder when use is required.
Twisting the cartridge holder in the direction indicated
by an arrow on the holder will puncture the cartridge and
pressurize the cylinder. Depressing the lever on the dis-
charge head allows the pressure to force the water out the
discharge nozzle. Discharge time is between 30 and 45
seconds. Range of discharge is approximately 20 feet (6.1
meters).

sure drops to below sufficient operating psi, the corre-
sponding AGENT LOW indicating lights will come on.
H. Portable Fire Extinguishers
(1) Portable fire extinguishers are located in the flight and
passenger compartments. The extinguishers are of the halon
and water types. The extinguishers are mounted in individ-
ual supports and held in position in the supports by
quick-action release straps.
(a) Halon Extinguisher: The halon fire extinguishers use
bromochlorodifluoromethane as an extinguishing agent, and
are located in the flight compartment and passenger
compartment. The extinguishers weigh approximately 3.93
pounds (1.75 kg) fully charged. The halon extinguisher is
discharged by pulling the locking pin and squeezing the
lever. The discharge time is approximately 10 seconds
with a range of 13 feet (4 meters).
(b) Water Fire Extinguisher: The water extinguishers when
fully charged contain 1 3/8 quarts (44 ounces)(1.3 liters)
of water, with or without an antifreeze agent, and weigh
approximately 7 pounds (3.17 kg). A carbon dioxide car-
tridge, located inside a holder on the discharge head, is
used to pressurize the cylinder when use is required.
Twisting the cartridge holder in the direction indicated
by an arrow on the holder will puncture the cartridge and
pressurize the cylinder. Depressing the lever on the dis-
charge head allows the pressure to force the water out the
discharge nozzle. Discharge time is between 30 and 45
seconds. Range of discharge is approximately 20 feet
(6.1 meters).

flight compartment behind the first officer’s seat. The
remaining halon and/or water extinguishers are installed in the
passenger compartment.
B. The fire extinguishers consist of halon (bromochlorodi-

B, C type fires. Pressing extinguisher trigger will initiate
discharge. The extinguisher can be partially discharged and
the flow of extinguishant checked by releasing the trigger, and
retaining part of the charge for dealing with any further

LAVATORY DISPOSABLE FIRE EXTINGUISHER - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
_________________________________________________________________
1. _______
General
A. The disposable fire extinguisher container is located within
the sink cabinet waste compartment adjacent to the trash
container in each lavatory. The disposable fire extinguisher
container is located such that the discharge probes are
inserted into the trash container.
2. ___________
Description
A. The fire extinguisher is comprised of an elongated spherical
steel container, two discharge tubes with fusible tips and a
mounting bracket. The disposable fire extinguisher container
is charged with 115(±15) grams of halon (bromotrifluoro-
methane). The discharge tube tips (probes) are inserted into
the trash container in each lavatory.
