GENERAL
The cabin light system provides illumination of the cabin and en-
trances,lavatories, galleys and attendant work areas.
The system provides illumination of lavatory lighted signs. There are call
lights to indicate the location from which a passenger call is initiated. In-
dividual reading lights are installed.
CABIN LIGHTING
The cabin lighting consists of four strips of fluorescent lamps.
In each cabin zone, the four strips are divided into two pairs for controls
purposes (inboard pair = CEILING lights and outboard pair = WINDOW
lights).
Each strip consists of many fluorescent lamps. Each fluorescent lamp is
installed in a lampholder with an integral ballast unit.
ENTRANCE AREA LIGHTING
The entry areas are illuminated by fluorescent lamps installed in ceiling
panels. Each fluorescent lamp is installed in a lampholder with an integ-
ral ballast unit.
LAVATORY LIGHTING
Each lavatory lighting consists of a fluorescent lamp.
A fluorescent lamp and an integral ballast unit are installed in each lava-
tory, adjacent to the mirror.
PASSENGER READING LIGHTS
The reading lights are installed in the Passenger Service Units (FSUs)
fitted above the passenger seats.
The Passenger Service Unit fitted must agree with the number of seats

plied from the DC ESS BUS via 28/6V DC/DC Converters. When you push the BAT pb--switch on the PTP a test of the batteries capacity
will be initiated. A security code has to be entered first on the PTP.
If the DC ESS BUS is loss of power, the lights will be supplied by the battery
packs installed on the EPSU‘s. The test lasts app. 2h because the batteries will be discharged and recharged
after that.
During normal operation the battery packs will be charged by a battery charge
device inside the EPSU. (The exact test description follows in the chapter 23 CIDS).
The EXIT signs will be switched on (except automatic), when:
S NO SMOKING switch in ON, or
S NO SMOKING switch in AUTO and landing gear extended, or
S a very low cabin pressure is monitored by the Cabin Pressure Controllers.
If the Emergency Exit Doors are open and the Slides are armed, the Overwing
Emergency lights and the Escape Slide lights illuminate.
If the Main Doors are open and the Slides are armed, the lights in the Main Exit
Escape Slides illuminate.
The control of the Emergency Lighting system happens via the following
switches:
S EMER EXIT light switch on the cockpit overhead panel
S EMER pushbutton switch on the Fwd Attendant Panel (FAP).

connected lights function.
A 6 V battery supplies the loads whenever the system is not selected
OFF and the power supply from the essential busbar is not available. The
essential busbar charges the battery through the 28 V DC/6 V DC unit con-
verter.
Whenever the ambient temperature falls below +20 DEG. C (68 DEG. F)
the 28 V DC essential busbar provides electrical heating for the battery. The
battery is changed without removal of the power supply unit.
A test circuit tests the condition of the unit battery, the unit logic and the re-
lated loads. The battery test procedure starts after coding selection when
the TEST EMER LIGHT BAT membrane switch on the programming and
test panel 110RH (CIDS) is pushed.
If all batteries are serviceable, the annunciator BAT OK adjacent to
the membrane switch comes on. The system test procedure starts when
the TEST EMER LIGHT SYS membrane switch on the programming and
test panel 110RH is pushed. The test circuit carries out an interrogation of
the units and monitors the output current.
If all units are serviceable the annunciator SYS OK adjacent to the mem-
brane switch comes on. This test loop completes only when all unit output
currents are within the expected value. An individual test on each power
supply unit must be carried out when either the BAT OK or SYS OK annun-
