Q

When smoke or fire is detected in the cargo compartment, the following will occur:

A
  • MASTER WARNING lights will flash and MASTER CAUTION lights will illuminate.
  • CARGO SMOKE voice warning
  • CARGO SMOKE FWD (or AFT) level 3 alert will be displayed on the EAD and on the SD AIR page
  • LAND AT NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT displayed EAD and SD AIR page
  • DISCH CARGO AGENT will also be displayed on the EAD and the SD AIR page.
  • On the AIR synoptic page, smoke detectors detecting smoke will display as red triangles.

After approximately 1 minute after the first bottle has been discharged, the PUSH light on FWD (or AFT) CARGO SMOKE AGENT 1 DISCH switchlight will extinguish when the LOW light illuminates and the level 1 alert CARGO AGENT 1 LO will be displayed on the SD AIR page.

Six (6) minutes after the first bottle has been discharged, the following will occur:
Level 1 alert DISCH CARGO AGENT will again be displayed on the EAD and SD AIR page.
MASTER CAUTION lights will illuminate and can be extinguished by pushing the illuminated AIR cue light on the SCP.

PUSH light on FWD (or AFT) CARGO SMOKE AGENT 2 DISCH switchlight will illuminate flashing (amber). When the appropriate switchlight is pushed to discharge the fire-extinguishing agent from the second bottle, the PUSH light will go steady. In addition, the DISCH CARGO AGENT alert disappears on the EAD and SD AIR page.
LOW lights on FWD and AFT CARGO SMOKE AGENT 2 DISCH switchlights and level 1 alert CARGO AGENT 2 LO will illuminate after the second bottle has been depleted after about 2 hours.
