In case of overpressure, the extinguisher agent is fully discharged outside the helicopter through the

proper discharge indicator.

Upon the discharge, the outer green disc is ejected, and a red interior circular band is exposed providing a
visual indication of agent discharge that is visible during on ground inspection.
To discharge the extinguisher agent into the engine bays, each bottle is provided with two outlet valves
that contain an electrically actuated explosive cartridge and a frangible disc breaks
The temperature compensated pressure switch monitors the pressure in the fire extinguishing bottle. This
pressure switch operates when the pressure decreases more than 15% of the standard pressure.
An output signal is sent to the MAU 1 and the maintenance message 2 FIRE EXTING EMPTY is shown
on the Multifunction Display (MFD) for the ground personnel.
