An electrical signal activates an explosive device which will rupture a disc on the squib and release the Halon agent.
|
|
What is indicated if the fire bottles "ARM" caution light fails to illuminate after the T-Handle is pulled?
|
Either there is a "squib malfunction"
"or" The bottle pressure is low. The "BTL LOW" caution light on the FPP will be illuminated if "either" fire bottle is low! |
|

|
1. Master Warning |
|
When conducting the "Engine Fire Warning Test", how can the warning tone be silenced?
|
By pressing either "ENGINE FIRE - PRESS TO RESET" switchlight.
|
|
How can the pressure be checked on all the "portable" fire extinguisher bottles?
|
Each portable fire extinguisher bottle has a pressure gauge on the nozzle.
|
|
The "portable" fire extinguisher bottles pressure gauge has three colors indicating the pressure status. What are the colors and what do they mean?
