system must sense fire in order for a fire alarm to be given. If one loop is inoperative,
then the system may be set to operate on the operative loop.

APU Fire Detection

A single-loop fire detection system is in the APU compartment

Wheel Well Fire Detection

A single-loop fire detection system is in the main landing gear wheel well.

Wing and Lower Aft Body Overheat Detection

Two single-loop overheat detection systems are located in the wings, the air
conditioning bays, the aft cargo compartment, the keel beam, and the APU area.
Cargo Compartment

Cargo compartment smoke detection powered by DC bus 1 and DC bus 2.Cargo


compartement fire extinguisher powered by the battery bus.

Cargo Copartment Smoke Detection

The forward and aft cargo compartment each have smoke detector in a dual loop
configuration.Normally,both detection loops must sense smoke to cause an alert.These
loops fuction in the same manner as the engine overheat and fire protection loops.

Lavatory Detection

Lavatory fire protection consist lavatory smoke detection and fire extinguisher

Lavatory Smoke Detection
