NACELLE FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM PURPOSE The engine fire detection system supplies indications of fire and overheat conditions for engine fire zones. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Three Advanced Pneumatic Detectors (APD) are located in each nacelle (left and right) to give fire and overheat detection. The nacelle fire detection system has one APD located in the engine primary zone (LEZ), one located around the Propeller Electronic Control unit (PEZ) and one located in the Main Wheel Well (MWW) zone. A fire or overheat condition in the nacelles is shown on the Fire Protection Panel (FPP). The nacelle fire detection system has these components: • • • Engine Leading Edge Zone Advance Pneumatic Detectors Propeller Electronic Control Advance Pneumatic Detectors MLG Zone Advance Pneumatic Detectors SUB-SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Advanced Pneumatic Detectors (APD) use gas filled sensor tubes to monitor heating of the zone. The fault and alarms signals are supplied by two switches, the integrity switch and the alarm switch. The integrity switch monitors the pressure of the sensor element. If the pressure falls below a minimum rated level, the normally closed switch opens and sends a signal to the control amplifier.

When the temperature reaches a set level the pressure of the expanding gas closes the alarm switch. The APD will generate a fire signal to the appropriate engine PULL FUEL/HYD OFF handle light directly. When the alarm switch closes it also sends the signal to the control amplifier and is indicated by: • • • • PULL FUEL/HYD OFF handle light red on FPP comes on CHECK FIRE DET warning light flashing red on the Caution and Warning panel comes on ENGINE FIRE PRESS TO RESET light flashing red on the left and right side of the glare-shield comes on Audible BELL warning sounds Pushing either the left or right ENGINE FIRE PRESS TO RESET indicator turns the audible BELL warning off. Both ENGINE FIRE PRESS TO RESET remains on steady state for the duration of the alarm condition.

However if the LEZ loop fails, PEZ will not function as a fire detector. It is therefore possible to receive a FAULT A indication and an engine fire warning concurrently. NACELLE FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM ADVANCE PNEUMATIC DETECTORS (APD) PURPOSE The Advance Pneumatic Detectors are used to sense a fire or overheat condition. Three Advance Pneumatic Detectors (APD) are located in each nacelle. The APD or fire detection loops, give fire and overheat detection in: • • • The Main Wheel Well (MWW) zone The Leading Edge Zone (LEZ) The Propeller Electronic Controller (PEC) Zone of the primary engine zone (PEZ) A fire or overheat condition in the nacelles is shown on the Fire Protection Panel (FPP). The APD receives electrical power from the 28V DC left essential or right essential bus. Malfunction of either the left or right essential bus will not cause loss of fire detection in the left or right engine nacelle. The APD are sensor tubes filled with helium gas to monitor for fires. The helium gas is sensitive to changes in pressure and it expands as the pressure increases. Spot heat releases hydrogen from central core which increases pressure in the loop. The fault and alarm signals are given by two switches, the integrity switch and the alarm switch. The alarm switch is normally open, and closes when an overheat or fire condition occurs, caused by the expanding gas pressure increase in the APD. The APD alarm switch signals the appropriate engine PULL FUEL/HYD OFF handle light directly. The alarm signals are processed by the control amplifier then sent to the fire protection panel. The integrity switch monitors the pressure of the sensor element. If an APD breaks, the loss of pressure in the sensor will turn on the FAULT A or FAULT B light on the fire protection panel.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION Smoke detection is done by smoke detectors which are installed in the baggage compartment, the baggage area and the lavatory. If a smoke or fire condition is sensed, the applicable warning indicator lights on the Fire Protection Panel (FPP) or the passenger compartment ceiling repeater lights come on. The Smoke Detection System has the components that follow: • • • Baggage Smoke Detectors Baggage Smoke Detector Lavatory Smoke Detector TO BE USED FOR MAINTENANCE TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY ATA 26 - FIRE PROTECTION Issue 6 -January 2023 Page 18 of 78 BOMBARDIER DHC 8-400 (PWC PW150) FIRE PROTECTION - BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT SMOKE DETECTORS LOCATION TO BE USED FOR MAINTENANCE TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY ATA 26 - FIRE PROTECTION Issue 6 -January 2023 Page 19 of 78 BOMBARDIER DHC 8-400 (PWC PW150) FIRE PROTECTION SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEM SUB-SUB-SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The baggage smoke detectors are monitored by the control amplifier. The lavatory smoke detector is monitored by the repeater lights in the passenger compartment ceiling. Each baggage smoke detector directly turns on the applicable AFT or FWD SMOKE (red) FPP advisory light. If a smoke or fire condition is sensed, the alarm signal is also sent to the control amplifier. The control amplifier turns on the SMOKE warning light, master WARNING PRESS TO RESET switch and applicable FPP AFT or FWD BOTTLE ARM amber)light. The lavatory smoke detector alarm signal switches on the detector Light Emitting Diode (LED) and the audio alert located on the detector. Smoke in the lavatory compartment will also cause the passenger compartment ceiling repeater lights to come on and a single audible warning high chime in the passenger address system will sound.

During a fire or smoke condition, the smoke detector causes an alarm based on a predetermined trip set point. This causes the SMOKE indicator light on the FPP to come on. SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEM AFT BAGGAGE SMOKE DETECTORS The baggage smoke detector has a Built-In Test capability that completely tests its functionality in response to a test signal from the FPP. PURPOSE NOTES: The AFT Baggage Smoke Detectors sense the presence of smoke in the aft baggage compartment Two baggage smoke detectors are located at the front and back of the aft baggage bay area. Each baggage smoke detector is a self-contained open area detector. Electrical connections are provided using an external 66 pin connector keyed to eliminate mismatching. During a fire or smoke condition, one or both smoke detectors produce an alarm based on a predetermined trip set point. The smoke detectors are photosensitive devices that use a light beam that detects smoke particles when the beam is interrupted. The LED is replaceable on these units. This causes the SMOKE indicator light on the FPP to come on. The control amplifier will automatically operate relay contacts to remove electrical power from the AFT baggage vent inlet and vent outlet valves to minimize airflow within the bay. Indication of vent valve status will be shown as VENT INLT and VENT OTLT CLOSED white lights on the FPP. The baggage smoke detectors have a Built-In Test capability that completely tests their functionality in response to a test signal from the FPP. FWD BAGGAGE SMOKE DETECTOR PURPOSE The FWD Baggage Smoke Detector senses the presence of smoke in the forward baggage compartment. The baggage smoke detector is a self-contained open area detector. The baggage smoke detector is a line replaceable unit (LRU). The baggage smoke detector is located in the forward baggage compartment.

If an APD breaks, the loss of pressure will open the integrity switch and signal the control amplifier to turn on the FPP APU FAULT light. APU FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM PURPOSE The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) fire detection system senses fire or overheat conditions in the APU compartment. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The APU fire detection system has one Advance Pneumatic Detector (APD) located in the APU compartment which senses changes in temperature. The APU fire detection system has the component that follows: • APU Compartment Advance Pneumatic Detector. SUB-SUB-SYSTEM DESCRIPTION There is one APD located in the APU compartment. The APD has a main element body and a sensor tube which extends around the APU compartment. The main element body is held in place by two P-clamps and the sensor tube is supported by additional clamps and grommets. The sensor tube is filled with an inert gas which is sensitive to changes in temperature. The APD receives electrical power from the right essential bus. Two switches alarm and fault are integral in the APD. The alarm switch is normally open and closes when an overheat or fire condition occurs, caused by the pressure increase in the APD. The APD alarm switch signals the FPP APU FIRE red advisory light directly. The FPP FIRE red advisory remains on steady state for the duration of the alarm. The alarm signals are processed by the control amplifier then sent to the Fire Protection Panel (FPP).

NACELLE FIRE EXTINGUISHING NOTE: FIRE EXTINGUISHER BOTTLES An allen key is used to test the contacts of pressure switch on the fire bottles. PURPOSE The Fire Extinguisher Bottles contain the suppressant necessary to combat nacelle fire or overheat. The extinguisher bottles use dual bridge-wire Electro Explosive Devices (EED) within each cartridge and redundant power lines with separate circuit breakers for reliability. Bridge-wire A of all cartridges is taken from one circuit breaker and routed along the left side of the aircraft to the cartridge. Bridge-wire B of all cartridges is taken from a separate breaker and routed along the right side of the aircraft to the respective cartridge. This arrangement meets the rotor burst requirements and gives redundant firing signals for each cartridge. The left and right extinguisher bottles are discharged manually from the FPP into the Primary Engine Zone (PEZ), Main Wheel Well (MWW) and Leading Edge Zone (LEZ) zones. The left or right bottle squibs are armed by pulling the FPP PULL FUEL/ HYD OFF handle. After arming, the pilot can operate one of the extinguisher bottles with the EXTG switch on the FPP. An electrical signal is sent through the bridgewires, which ignites the EED. When the EED explodes it ruptures a burst disc and the pressurized bottle then discharges through the connector Check Tee. The bottle configuration can give two applications of fire suppressant into the zones, in the event that the first attempt was not effective. The extinguisher bottles are constantly monitored for pressure during the non-alarm state. A manual exercise key is supplied for ground check of proper pressure switch operation. The key will open the pressure switch contacts, to simulate a depressurized bottle. Extinguisher bottle pressure switch status is shown by the BTL LOW light on the FPP. This light will come on when either bottle has lost pressure.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION Fire extinguishing for the baggage compartments is performed by two High Rate Discharge (HRD) fire extinguisher bottles and one Low Rate Discharge (LRD) fire extinguisher bottle. Each baggage compartment has one HRD fire extinguisher, the LRD fire extinguisher is shared between the FWD and AFT baggage compartments. Each HRD fire extinguisher bottle has one High Rate fire extinguisher cartridge. The LRD fire extinguisher bottle has two Low Rate fire extinguisher cartridges. Each cartridge (HR and LR) contains an Electro-Explosive Device (EED) and discharges the contents of the bottles through the applicable fire extinguisher distribution tubes. The baggage compartment fire extinguishing system has the components that follow: • • • • • AFT High Rate Fire Extinguisher Bottle FWD High Rate Fire Extinguisher Bottle High Rate Fire Extinguisher Cartridges Low Rate Fire Extinguisher Bottle Low Rate Fire Extinguisher Cartridges TO BE USED FOR MAINTENANCE TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY ATA 26 - FIRE PROTECTION Issue 6 -January 2023 Page 42 of 78 BOMBARDIER DHC 8-400 (PWC PW150) FIRE PROTECTION - FIRE AND SMOKE DETECTION BLOCK DIAGRAM TO BE USED FOR MAINTENANCE TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY ATA 26 - FIRE PROTECTION Issue 6 -January 2023 Page 43 of 78 BOMBARDIER DHC 8-400 (PWC PW150) FIRE PROTECTION BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT FIRE EXTINGUISHING SUB-SUB-SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Indications on the Fire Protection Panel (FPP) are used to monitor the fire and the overheat conditions in the FWD and AFT baggage compartments. Extinguisher bottle pressure is also monitored from the FPP. Pilot action, pressing the applicable SMOKE EXTG switch-light is required to activate the High Rate fire extinguishers. If a fire condition is sensed in the aft baggage compartment, the aft high rate fire bottle will discharge first followed by the low rate fire extinguisher bottle which discharges automatically after seven minutes. The seven minute delay is to make sure that any remaining fire will be extinguished. If a fire condition is sensed in the FWD baggage compartment, both the high rate and low rate extinguishers will discharge at the same time.

Each fire extinguisher cartridge is attached to its related discharge head, located on the bottom of the LRD fire extinguishing bottle. Each cartridge contains a dual bridge-wire EED and redundant power lines with separate circuit breakers for mission reliability. HIGH RATE FIRE EXTINGUISHER CARTRIDGES PURPOSE High Rate Fire Extinguisher Cartridges cause the extinguisher bottle to discharge its contents through the distribution tubing leading to the FWD or AFT baggage compartment. There is one High Rate fire extinguisher cartridge for each High Rate fire extinguisher. Each fire extinguisher cartridge is attached to its related discharge head, located on the bottom of the fire extinguishing bottle. In each cartridge, bridge-wire A is taken from one circuit breaker and routed down the left side of the aircraft to the cartridge. Bridge-wire B is taken from a separate circuit breaker and routed down the right side of the aircraft to the cartridge. Loss of either power breaker will not cause loss of fire extinguisher capability. Each cartridge has a related electrical connector. When an electrical signal is sent through the bridge-wires, the EED ignites and explodes rupturing a burst disk. This causes the extinguisher bottle to discharge its contents through the distribution tubing leading to the AFT or FWD baggage compartment.

APU FIRE EXTINGUISHING APU fire extinguisher bottle pressure is shown by a BTL LOW light on the FPP. A failure of the APD integrity switch will cause the APU FAULT light to come on. The APU will automatically shut down. PURPOSE The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) Fire Extinguishing System suppresses fire and overheat conditions in the APU. GENERAL DESCRIPTION One fire extinguishing bottle is used to suppress fire and overheat conditions in the APU compartment. The APU fire extinguishing bottle has one fire extinguisher cartridge. The APU fire extinguishing system has the components that follow: • • APU Fire Extinguisher Bottle APU Fire Extinguisher Cartridge SUB-SUB-SYSTEM DESCRIPTION Indications on the Fire Protection Panel (FPP) are used to monitor APU fire or overheat conditions. No pilot action is required to operate APU fire protection. The control amplifier controls a relay which closes the APU fuel valve. When electrical power from the relay is supplied to the Full-Authority Digital- Electronic-Control (FADEC) the APU FUEL VALVE CLOSED advisory light on the FPP comes on. The APU is shutdown automatically and the FAIL advisory light on the APU control panel comes on. After a 7 second delay, an electrical signal from the control amplifier ignites an ElectroExplosive Device (EED) in the extinguisher cartridge. The EED then explodes and the fire extinguishing agent is automatically released through the distribution tubes to the APU compartment. The FPP APU BTL ARM light goes out and the BTL LOW light comes on.
