1. FIRE DETECTION AND EXTINGUISHING
A. Engine
Each engine detection system is divided into two zones (A and B):
: Zone A covers the core section of the engine and is provided with fire detection and
extinguishing
: Zone B covers the exhaust pipe and pylon area which contains the 10th and 14th
stage bleed air ducting. No fire extinguishing protection is provided for this zone.
Engine fire detection is provided by dual heat sensitive detection loops (designated
loop A and B) arranged in parallel around the engine, exhaust pipe and pylon areas.
Each loop is connected to the control unit and is monitored continuously for fire or
overheat conditions. In normal operation, both detection loops must detect a fire or
overheat condition before a fire warning is generated.
Control unit loop detection is controlled through LH/RH, ENG and JET switches on the
FIRE DETECTION panel. The switch is used to select A, BOTH or B loop detection.
If one loop detects a fire, when both loops are selected, this is considered a False Fire
and a L/R FIRE FAIL caution message will be displayed on the EICAS primary page.
During normal operations with both loops selected, the tables in this section lists the
indications that are displayed if a fire, failure, or power loss is detected:

When the control unit detects a failure in one loop, due to a short or power loss, there is
no indication of the failure until the WARN test is performed. The control unit will
automatically switch to single loop detection. Single loop operation can also be
selected by placing the defective loop switch on the FIRE DETECTION panel from
BOTH to the good loop (A or B). During normal operations with one loop selected, the
following table lists the indications that are displayed if a fire, failure, or power loss is
detected:

The engine fire extinguishing system provides a means to extinguish fires in the left and
right engines. The system consists of two FIREX bottles, located in the aft equipment
compartment, a low pressure switch, a bottle pressure gauge and discharge lines. The
bottles contain Halon and are pressurized to 600 psi. Each bottle has two firing
cartridges (squibs) to permit discharge of the fire extinguishing agent into either engine
nacelle. The pressure switches are connected to the FIDEEX, and if the bottle
pressure decrease to a preset point, an ENG BTL 1 (2) LO caution message will be
displayed on the EICAS primary page.

D. APU
The APU fire detection system is used to detect a fire or overheat condition in the APU
enclosure. The detection system consists of dual heat sensitive detection loops
arranged in parallel around the inside of the APU enclosure. Each loop is connected to
the control unit and is monitored continuously for fire or overheat conditions. In normal
operation, both detection loops must detect a fire or overheat condition before a fire
warning alarm is issued. If a short or open circuit fault is detected in one loop, the
control unit will automatically switch to single loop detection and the EICAS will display
an APU FIRE FAIL caution message on the primary page.
APU fire protection has two modes of operation:
: Ground Mode -- When a fire is detected, the control unit closes the fuel and bleed
air shutoff valves and the APU shuts down. Five seconds later the fire bottle
automatically discharges and the external horn sounds.
: Flight Mode -- When a fire is detected, the control unit closes the fuel and bleed air
shutoff valves and the APU shuts down, but the fire bottle must be discharged
manually using the APU BOTTLE ARMED PUSH TO DISCH switchlight on the
copilots glareshield.

E. Cargo Compartment
The cargo smoke detection system consists of two optical type smoke detectors
(NORMAL and STANDBY) located in the ceiling of the cargo compartment. Both
smoke detectors are protected from damage by a steel cage. Each detector is capable
of producing an alarm signal within an established time frame and smoke concentration
level. The detectors are positioned to avoid false alarms with overlapping coverage to
guard against the failure of one detector. When smoke is detected by one or both
detectors, air flow into and out of the cargo compartment is shut off to isolate the
compartment. A SMOKE CARGO warning message is displayed on the EICAS primary
page, a SMOKE aural warning is generated and both CARGO SMOKE PUSH
(cover--guarded) switchlights illuminate on the CARGO FIREX panel.
Page 19
NOTE
Operation of mobile transceivers in close proximity to

the smoke detectors or exhaust fumes from ground
handling equipment may cause a false alarm.
Fire extinguishing for the cargo compartment is provided by two FIREX bottles, a high
rate discharge bottle and a low rate discharge bottle. Both bottles are located in the aft
equipment compartment, and are pressurized with extinguishing agent (Halon). Each
bottle has a firing cartridge with two squibs, used to discharge the Halon into the cargo
compartment. Each bottle has a low pressure switch and a pressure gauge. When
either BOTTLE ARMED PUSH TO DISCHARGE DISCH switchlight is pushed, both
bottles will discharge simultaneously. The high rate discharge bottle is designed to
quickly deliver extinguishing agent into the cargo compartment for initial fire
suppression. The low rate discharge bottle discharges slowly, maintaining a flow of
extinguishing agent into the cargo compartment (over a 30 minute period) to prevent
re-ignition and allow for aircraft diversion. If either bottle pressure decrease to a preset
point, the pressure switch opens, and a CARGO BTL LO caution message will be
displayed on the EICAS primary page.

The system consists of a disposable Halon fire extinguisher bottle with dual discharge
nozzles. The bottle is mounted near the waste container with the nozzles extending
into the waste container. The end of each discharge nozzle is sealed with a heat
sensitive capsule which, when subjected to heat, melts to release the extinguishing
agent into the waste container. A temperature indicating strip sensor is located on the
inside of the waste compartment door. The sensor is used to provide an indication that
high temperature has been sensed in the compartment and that the bottle may have
discharged.

1. MAIN LANDING GEAR OVERHEAT DETECTION
The main landing gear overheat detection system provides indication of an overheat
condition in the main landing gear wheel well bins. An overheat contion can be caused by
overheated brakes or brake fires. The system consists of two overheat detection sensor
loops and an overheat detection unit.
The sensor loops are installed around the top inner surface of each main wheel well bin and
are connected to the detection unit which is installed in the forward avionics compartment.
The overheat detection unit continuously monitors the loops for overtemperature conditions
and system faults (short circuits). If an overheat condition is detected by the unit, in either
wheel well bin, a signal is sent to the EICAS to display a MLG BAY OVHT warning message
on the primary page. If a system fault is detected by the unit, a signal is sent to the EICAS
to display a MLG OVHT FAIL caution message on the primary page.
The warning of an overheat condition, alerts the pilot to immediately lower the landing gear
to reduce the landing gear temperature. The warning message will persist until the
temperature in the wheel well bin returns to normal limits.
The main landing gear overheat detection system may be tested, from the landing gear
control panel, by simulating an overheat condition or a system fault condition. The EICAS
will display the applicable warning or caution message during the test.
