The Forward Attendant Panel (FAP) controls the cabin lights. ATTENDANT WORK LIGHTS
Signals from the FAP are processed by the directors. The attendant work lights are equipped with an integrated pushbutton.
The directors transmit these signals to each DEU. Each DEU controls its own
power unit.
Up to fifty six DEUs are used for the light system. They are called TYPE A
DEUs.

CABIN GENERAL LIGHTS


The related DEUs control the cabin fluorescent tubes according to the selection
made on the FAP.
The FAP provides various possibilities of lighting intensity for the corresponding
window, center hatrack and/or aisle lights.
The switches ’CABIN, DIM1 and DIM2’ and ’ENTRY, DIM1 and DIM2’ control
the brightness of the lighting strips in each zone and the lights in the entrance
area. The lights near the cockpit door in the forward entrance area (LH) de-
crease automatically in intensity, when the cockpit door is opened. This func-
tion only occurs, when the engines are in operation.
The AAPs installed in the Flight–Crew Rest Compartment (F–CRC), the Lower
Deck–Mobile Crew Rest (LD–MCR) and the staircase control the illumination in
these areas ( OPTIONAL).
For Training Purposes Only

ENTRY LIGHTS
The related DEUs control the entry fluorescent tubes according to the selection
made on the FAP.
The FAP controls the DEUs, via the CIDS directors, in order to give various
lighting intensities.
Note : If the engines are running and the cockpit door is open, the forward left
entry light is automatically dimmed.

OPERATION
The cabin emergency–lighting system is supplied with power, when the AC nor-
mal busbar and the DC essential busbar are energized and the circuit breakers
are closed.
You can control the cabin emergency–lighting system with the control switch
’EMER EXIT LT’, installed in the cockpit . The pushbutton ’EMERG ON’,
installed on the FAP, is connected in parallel to the control switch’EMER EXIT
LT’. The control switch ’EMER EXIT LT’ 4 WL has these three positions:
S OFF,
S ARM,
S ON.
Each of the set positions cause the cabin emergency–lighting system to oper-
ate in a different way.
OFF Position
The cabin emergency lighting system is disarmed.
ARM Position
The cabin emergency lighting system is set to the Automatic Mode. All cabin
emergency lights are off as long as no failure in the aircraft power supply sys-
tem occurs.
ON Position
The cabin emergency lighting system is activated; all cabin emergency lights
are on. The lights are supplied by the DC essential busbar or, in case of a DC
essential busbar failure, by the EPSU batteries.
POWER SUPPLY
The emergency lighting system is supplied with 115 V AC from the normal bus-
bar 101XP–B and with 28 V DC from the essential busbar 403PP. The circuit-
For Training Purposes Only

breakers 1WL, 2WL, 3WL and 9WL are installed on the circuit breaker panels
721VU and 742VU. When the DC essential aircraft power supply is not avail
ble, the integrated batteries of the EPSUs supply the cabin emergency lighting
system. They can supply the system for a least 10 minutes.

GENERAL
The cabin emergency–lighting system is installed to give:
S illumination of the cabin and the exit areas during emergency conditions,
S illumination of a Floor–Proximity Emergency–Escape Path–Marking System
(FPEEPMS),
S illumination of the Flight Crew–Rest Compartment (FCRC) and the Lower
Deck–Mobile Crew Rest (LD–MCR) during emergency conditions (Op-
tional),
S power supply to the exit location signs and exit marking signs,
S power supply to the integral lights of the door escape slides.
The system is controlled and monitored by Emergency–Power Supply Units
(EPSUs). The EPSUs are supplied by the aircraft DC essential and AC normal
power supply. The EPSUs convert the aircraft power to give the correct power
supply to the cabin emergency lights. When a failure in the aircraft DC essen-
tial power system occurs the EPSUs can continue to supply the cabin emer-
gency–lighting system by integrated batteries.

FLOOR PATH MARKING (OPTIONAL)
In an emergency condition it is possible that the overhead emergency lights are
not sufficient. This is when smoke enters the cabin. In order to give sufficient
illumination of the aisle, cross–aisles and exits in floor level height, a Floor–
Proximity Emergency–Escape Path–Marking System (FPEEPMS) is installed
in the cabin.
This FPEEPMS is electrically integrated in the cabin emergency–lighting sys-
tem. The FPEEPMS has continuous strips of lights, installed in the aisles and
cross–aisles of the cabin, and floor–level exit markers, installed in the door–
frame of each passenger/crew door.

SLIDES
The emergency lights, which are integrated in the escape slides of the passen-
ger/crew doors, are turned on automatically when the escape slides are
deployed.

CREW REST COMPARTMENTS (OPTIONAL)


The emergency lights, which are installed in the FCRC and in the LD–MCR,
are the same as installed in the cabin. They are integrated in the overhead
emergency lighting system. The illumination is sufficient for occupants to locate
the exit of the FCRC and the LD–MCR (Optional).
