26−12 ENG FIRE & OVHT DETECTION

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (RB211 TRENT 500)
General
The fire detection system is of the electro−pneumatic type. On each engine,
there are two continuous loops for the fire detection.
The loops are connected in parallel to a FDU (Fire Detection Unit). The
connection is made through an AND logic to avoid spurious FIRE warnings. In
case of failure of one loop, the AND logic becomes an OR logic. The aircraft
can be released in this configuration according to the Minimum Equipment List.
The fire detection loops are monitored by the FDU. The monitoring device
indicates the loss of a fire detection loop to the crew members (Flight Warning
System).
For one engine, each loop comprises five fire detectors connected in parallel.
Each loop is connected to a separate channel of the FDU and through the
related channel, to four of the eight lamps in a red warning light common to the
two loops.
This warning light is integral with the ENG/FIRE pushbutton switch located on
the ENG/FIRE control panel (overhead panel). The fire detection system can
be tested using the TEST pushbutton switch on the ENG/FIRE control panel.
Interface
The engine fire detection system has an interface with the following systems:
S Electrical Power DC Ancillary Equipment (Ref. 24−68−00)
S FWS (Flight Warning System) (Ref. 31−52−00)
S LGCIU (Landing Gear Control and Interface Unit) (Ref. 32−31−00)

Description
The smoke detection system of the LDCC (Lower Deck Cargo Compartment)
detects smoke in the FWD, Aft and Bulk cargo compartments.
The ten detectors are of the ionization type. A safety bus system is used to
connect the detectors to the Smoke Detector Control Unit.
The SDCU monitors continuously all detectors and the internal circuits of the
SDCU. It sends warning signals to the aircraft warning system and/or the CMS
(Central Maintenance System).

Dock On Crew Rest Smoke Detection
The Dock−On smoke detection system is installed in the DCR. It operates
independently from the other aircraft smoke detection systems and has:
S Three Smoke Detectors
S a SDCP (Smoke Detection Control Panel)
The function of the smoke detectors in the DCR is to sense smoke. The
detectors are of the optical ambient−type and they permanently do an analysis
of the ambient air in the DCR. The SDCP continuously monitors the condition
of the smoke detectors.
When a smoke detector senses smoke in the DCR:
S the horn at the SDCP operates
S on the SDCP, the indicator for the related smoke detector flashes and
S the SDCP transmits a smoke alarm signal to the SDCU 20WH
When the emergency exit hatch is closed:
S near the entrance door, the DO NOT OPEN DOOR sign comes on and
S the SDCP energizes the fire extinguishing system (Ref. 26−28−00) in the
DCR.
The SDCU sends smoke alarm signals to:
S the Ventilation Controller 280HN,
S the Flight Warning Computer
S the Cabin Intercommunication Data System
The ventilation controller closes the isolation valve 216HG when it receives a
smoke alarm signal. When the isolation valve is closed, the supply of air into
the DCR stops. The low−flow sensor (Ref. 21−63−00) in the DCR senses that
the supply of air into the DCR has stopped, and it:
S energizes the low−flow buzzer,

S reduces the supply of electrical power to the temperature controller and thus
the heater (Ref. 21−63−00),
S energizes the LEAVE DCR sign (Ref. 21−63−00) and
S switches the intensity of the lights to 100%.
When the FWC receives the smoke alarm signal from the SDCU, it creates the
applicable warning message which is shown on the Engine/Warning Display.
When CIDS receives a smoke alarm signal it starts warning sounds and visual
warnings in the cabin.

The LDCC (Lower Deck Cargo Compartment) Fire Extinguishing System has BOTTLE 1
two (optional 3 on A340−600) fire extinguisher bottles. The bottles contain the
extinguishing agent. They are hermetically sealed and pressurized with
nitrogen. The bottles are installed behind the FWD cargo−compartment
sidewall−panel 132PM. Each bottle has two discharge outlets (one for the FWD
cargo compartment and one for the AFT/BULK cargo compartment).
An electrically−operated explosive cartridge is installed in each discharge head.
Each cartridge has two squibs (squib A and squib B). When electrical power is FIRE
supplied to the squibs the cartridges fire and rupture the metal diaphragms in EXTINGUISHER
the bottle discharge outlets. BOTTLE 2

S the related AGENT pushbutton switch (the SMOKE legend comes on).
Discharge Operation
When you push the related AGENT pushbutton switch the circuit breakers
1WX and 2WX supply 28VDC to the squibs of the related cartridges. The
cartridges fire and rupture the metal diaphragms in the related discharge
outlets of the fire extinguisher bottles.
The extinguisher agent is released from all bottles:
S the agent from bottle 1 flows directly to the related cargo−compartment
spray nozzles,
S the agent from bottle 2 (and 3 optional) flows through the flow metering
system which makes sure that the correct concentration of agent is kept in
the cargo compartment.
The pressure in bottle 1 decreases quickly. When the pressure in bottle 1 has
reduced sufficiently (after approximately 1 minute) the pressure switch on the
bottle sends a signal to the SDCU. The SDCU sends a signal to the DISCH
indicator 3WX and the BTL 1 legend in the DISCH indicator comes on.
Because of the flow metering system the pressure in bottle 2 (and 3 optional)
decreases slowly. When the pressure in bottle 2 (and3 optional) has reduced
sufficiently, the pressure switch on the bottle sends a signal to the SDCU. The
SDCU send a signal to the DISCH indicator 3WX and the BTL2 legend in the
DISCH indicator comes on. (optionally the SDCU send a signal to the DISCH
indicator 5WX and the BTL3 legend in the DISCH indicator comes on.
If the agent from bottle 2 (bottle 3) is released correctly, there is no indication in
the cockpit except the BTL2 (BTL3) legend in the DISCH indicator 3WX (5WX).
