DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION


1. Purpose
A. The fire extinguisher stores fire extinguishing agent under high pressure. When the
sensors indicate smoke, the pilot operates a control switch sending an electrical signal
to the cartridge mounted in the discharge outlet (see Figure 1). This causes the cartridge
to detonate, which fractures a rupture disc and releases extinguishing agent to
extinguish the fire.
2. Description
A. The fire extinguisher is a spherical, stainless steel container (see Figure 2). Its primary
components include:
Container weldment
Fill fitting
Pressure switch
Rupture disc
Discharge outlet
Cartridge
B. The weldment is an all-welded stainless steel shell, which includes mounting lugs and
fill, discharge, and switch bosses. The fill fitting and rupture disc are welded to their
bosses.
C. The fill fitting is used to fill the weldment with the extinguishing agent. The fill fitting
incorporates a stainless steel disc that acts as the primary safety relief device.
D. A pre-stressed stainless steel rupture disc is welded inside the discharge boss. The
rupture disc fractures to release the extinguishing agent when the cartridge is detonated.
E. The discharge outlet is a flow path for the extinguishing agent and the mounting bed for
the explosive cartridge. A screen inside the discharge outlet keeps the cartridge debris
from entering the discharge line. The discharge outlet is safety wired to the weldment for
a secure installation upon installation on the aircraft.
F. The explosive cartridge is the detonation force necessary to fracture the rupture disc.
The cartridge is safety wired to the discharge outlet and caution tagged for safety.
G. The pressure switch permits monitoring of the charge pressure to determine if
extinguishing agent has leaked from the weldment or if the fire extinguisher has been
discharged.
H. The fire extinguisher is shipped with protective caps to cover the discharge outlet and
the fill fitting. The protective cap, installed on the cartridge, shields the firing circuit from
electromagnetic interference.

3. Operation
A. To release the extinguishing agent, the pilot operates a control switch, applying 17 to 31
VDC, 3.5 amperes current to the cartridge connector pins. The current detonates the
explosive charge in the cartridge. The explosion creates a shock wave, which fractures
the rupture disc and releases the extinguishing agent into the discharge line.
B. The pressure switch indicator should be checked regularly to make sure that the fire
extinguisher is charged.

4. Explanation of Detail Parts List Entries


A. The Detail Parts List is arranged in general sequence of disassembly. The parts are
illustrated in an exploded-view illustration and listed in the related parts list.
(1) Fig & Item Column
(a) The first number at the top of each Fig & Item column is the figure number of the
corresponding illustration. The number given opposite each part number is the
item number assigned to the part in the illustration.
(b) A dash (-) in front of an item number means the part is not illustrated.
(c) Alpha-variants A through Z (except I and O) are assigned to item numbers,
when necessary to identify:
Added parts
Alternate parts
Service bulletin modified parts
(2) Part Number Column
(a) This column contains the manufacturer's part number for each part, as modified
to meet the requirements of ATA 200/2000. These modifications can include:
1 Removal of blank spaces and special characters, with the possible exception
of dashes. Dashes are permitted only between numeric characters.
2 Insertion of a reference part number compatible with ATA 200/2000 if the
manufacturer's part number exceeds 15 characters. In these cases, the
manufacturer's part number is given in the Nomenclature column.
(3) Nomenclature Column
(a) This column contains descriptive nomenclature for each part, the manufacturer's
CAGE code (if the part is not manufactured by Pacific Scientific Company, HTL/
Kin-Tech Division), part number (if longer than 15 characters or modified per
ATA 200/2000), service bulletins affecting the part, and obsolete part numbers.
(b) The indenture system used in the Nomenclature column indicates the
relationship of one part to another, as follows:
