COCKPIT CONTROLS
Two buttons labeled FIRE/ARMED are on the left and right sides of the autopilot
control panel. The left button is for the left engine and vice versa. An engine fire is
indicated by a red light in the respective button and by an audible fire warning which
will continue until the fire is extinguished.
The first press of the FIRE/ARMED button does the following:
1. Closes the fuel shutoff valve
2. Closes the bleed air valve (PRSOV)
3. Turns off the igniters
4. Closes Flow Control Valve
5. Closes Fan Air Control Valve
6. Arms the fire canister
7. Green ARMED text on the FIRE/ARMED button is illuminated when the fire
extinguisher is armed for discharge.
NOTE:
In the event that the engine was shut down inadvertently using the FIRE/ARMED
button, the engine may be restarted by turning the engine start switch to the OFF
position, then placing it to the ON/START position. This will also reset the fire
canister to the OFF position.
The second press of the FIRE/ARMED button discharges the fire canister to the
respective engine. Once the extinguishing agent is discharged the green ARMED
text extinguishes and a L (R) EXTNGR DSCHG advisory message appears indicating
that the fire extinguisher capability has been depleted.
