GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Physical description
These are the major components of the engine fire detection system:
S Engine overheat/fire detectors
S Engine and APU fire detection control module (M279)
S Overheat/fire protection panel.
General description
The engine fire detection system uses dual overheat/fire detector loops.
The loops are identified as loop A and loop B.
The detector loops on the engine supply overheat and fire signals to the engine
and APU fire detection control module.
This module uses the signals to set the related alarm indications in the flight
compartment.

General Description
The APU detection system monitors for fire conditions, only.
If the system senses a fire condition, the signal goes to the engine and APU
fire detection control module.
This module sends the fire alarm to the flight compartment and, APU ground
control panel in the main wheel well.
This module also supplies a signal to stop the APU.

General Description
When you operate the APU fire extinguishing system, it fills the APU compart-
ment with halon gas to extinguish the fire.
Physical Description
The APU fire extinguishing system has these components:
S Fire extinguisher bottle
S Overheat/fire protection panel
S APU ground control panel.
Location
The APU fire extinguisher bottle is in the section 48 horizontal stabilizer acces-
sory compartment.
The overheat/fire protection panel is in the flight compartment on the PS panel.
The APU ground control panel is in the right main wheel well, on the aft bulk-
head.

General Description
These are the components for the wheel well fire detection:
S Main wheel well fire (overheat) sensing element
S Compartment overheat detection controller
S P7 glareshield panel
S Engine and APU fire control panel
S Aural warning unit.
Fire (overheat) sensing element in the main wheel well supplies the wheel well
fire detection signal.
The signal goes to the compartment overheat detection controller.
This unit supplies the fire alarms.
These are the flight compartment indications of a wheel well fire:
S Two red FIRE WARN lights on P7 panel come on
S Bell sounds in the aural warning unit
S Red WHEEL WELL light on engine and APU fire control panel comes on.
If the wheel well fire alarms come on due to a real fire or a fault, the
MAINT ADV light on the compartment overheat detection controller
comes on.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Component Location
These are the components in the flight deck that have an interface with the
lower cargo compartment smoke detection system:
S Aural warning unit
S Cargo smoke detection and fire suppression module, P8−75
S Fire warning lights on P7.
General Description
These are the functions of the lower cargo compartment smoke detection com-
ponents on the cargo smoke detection and fire suppression module:
S DETECTOR FAULT amber light is on if one or more of the detectors has a
power failure.
S A three−position (A, NORM, B) DET SELECT SWITCH, one for each cargo
compartment.
S NORM position lets both detectors or with one detector failed sense smoke
and give fire alarm.
S A or B lets the selected detector sense smoke and give fire alarm.
S TEST push button switch, does a test of cargo smoke detectors and extin-
guishing system.
S FWD, AFT red cargo fire warning switchlight is on if smoke is detected in
the related cargo compartment.
S Smoke detection in the forward or aft cargo compartment puts on the two
fire lights on the P7 panel and operates the fire bell in the aural warning unit.

Location
The lavatory fire extinguishing systems are in the lavatories under the wash
basin.
Operation
The extinguisher bottle has two discharge ports.
The ports have eutectic plugs. These plugs melt at high temperatures.
When there is an overheat or fire condition, this occurs:
− Temperature indicators change color (white to black)
− Eutectic plug melts
− Extinguisher releases halon to stop the fire.
