20
Q

Cargo class A

A

No fire detection or extinguishing

21
Q

Class B cargo

A

Fire detection because ventilated but no extinguishing

22
Q

Class C cargo

A

Detection and extinguishing as ventilated and not accessible

23
Q

Class D cargo

A

Same as class C after 2003

24
Q

Class E cargo

A

Detection needed only

25
Q

How many smoke detectors in avionics bay

A

1 installed on cooling duct outlet

26
Q

What is semi conductor loop made of

A

Stainless steel tube

27
Q

How many internal wires does kidde have

A

2

28
Q

How many Fenwal , graviner & Edison internal wires

A

1

29
Q

How does resistor work in semi conductor

A

Negative temperature coefficient

30
Q

When does fire get detected

A

Resistance decrees below 500 ohms

31
Q

Max bend in loop insulation

A

3.2mm

32
Q

Minimum bend radius

A

25.4mm or 1 inch

33
Q

How does optical detector work

A

Smoke in air cause light refraction
Photo resistor lit up and decreases resistance which sets off alarm

34
Q

How does ionisation smoke detector work

A

Analyses composition of air
Clean air molecules are lighter then smoke

35
Q

What should you never do in regard to ionisation smoke detector

A

Open it as can expose to radiation

36
Q

What do you check on portable extinguishers

A

Visual date check of usage and gauge

37
Q

What extinguishers are used on on portable extinguishers

A

Halon 1211

38
Q

What extinguishers are used on installed extinguishers

A

1301

39
Q

When is a installed extinguisher checked

A

C check every 20-24 months

40
Q

Pressure of installed extinguisher

A

600 psi

41
Q

How does discharge of an engine extinguisher occur

A

Squib caused explosive to break frangible disc
