2. ENGINE FIRE DETECTION.

The engine fire detection system monitors the engines for overheat and fire
conditions. If the system senses one of these conditions, it will show on lights
in the flight compartment. These lights are on the P7 light shield and the
overheat/fire protection panel. A bell also operates in the flight compartment
for engine fire warning.

2.1. General Description.

These are the major components of the engine fire detection system :
- Engine overheat/fire detectors,

- Engine and APU fire detection control module (M279),
- Overheat/fire protection panel,
- Glareshield, P7 panel,
- Aural warning unit.
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.

3.2. APU Fire Detector.

The APU fire detectors monitor for high temperatures in the APU
compartment.
The detector loop has three sense elements.
Each element has these pressure components :
- Fire pressure switch,

- Fault pressure switch,
- Resistors,
- Terminal stud,
- Stainless steel gas filled tube.
Location.
These are the locations of the three APU sense elements :
- Upper APU compartment,

- Lower APU compartment,
- Tailpipe.
Operation.
There two pressure switches for each element. One switch senses for fire.
The other switch senses for a FAULT (loss of gas pressure) condition.
Gas pressure in the tube holds the pressure switch in the close position.
The FIRE pressure switch closes when the gas pressure increase because of a
fire condition.
The fire signal goes to the engine and APU fire detection control module
which provides the fire indications in the flight compartment. Loss of pressure
in the tube causes the FAULT switch to open. This causes a large change in
resistance. This supplies a fault signal to the engine and APU fire detection
control module.

Operation.
The detector element is a thermistor type with resistance inversely proportional
to temperature. As the element temperature rises, its resistance is lowered.
If any portion of the sensing element is heated above alarm temperature,
the element resistance drops sharply. The single wire in the center of the core
is the power lead and the outside tube is electrically grounded. The insulating
resistance of the core material decreases suddenly at the alarm temperature.
Current flows through the core material to ground when alarm temperature is
sensed.
