BOOK
1. The fuel control switch light on the control stand comes on during a firecondition to show the pilot
the correct engine to shutdown.
2. The FDCU is in the electronic equipment compartment on the E2-2

3. The control circuits for the engine overheat and fire, and the APU fire detection are in the FDCU.
The FDCU front panel has these:
- Amber ENGINE 1 LOOP A fault light
- Amber ENGINE 1 LOOP B fault light
- Amber ENGINE 2 LOOP A fault light
- Amber ENGINE 2 LOOP B fault light
- Amber APU fault light
- Four red FAULT DISPLAY lights
- FAULT/INOP TEST switch.

4. The FDCU is used on both 737MAX and 737NG airplanes.

5.

6. The discharge outlet fittings from the two fire extinguisher bottles are different sizes. Also the
tubing has colored tape, yellow for engine 1and blue for engine 2.

7. There are 2 discharge nozzles in the ceiling of the forward cargo compartment and 3 in the ceiling
of the aft cargo compartment.

8. The compartment overheat detection module, CODM, is in the electronic equipment compartment
on the E1-4.

9. When doing manual wheel well overheat detection tests from the flight compartment, the CODM
display window shows EXTERNAL TEST.
10.

11. These are the indications of a wheel well fire:


- Two red FIRE WARN lights on P7 panel
- Bell sound from aural warning unit
- Red WHEEL WELL light on the engine and APU fire control panel
- MAINT ADV light on the compartment overheat detection module.

12. If either of the sensing elements do not have continuity, the red WHEEL WELL light does not
come on in the flight compartment. You must go to the CODM to put the system into single loop
operation.

13. To put the wheel well overheat detection system into single loop operation, go to the CODM and
push the LOCAL TEST button. The faulty loop is shown on the display and is now deactivated,
putting the system into single loop operation and allows subsequent flight compartment tests to
pass. SINGLE LOOP OPS will be displayed on the CODM until the faulty loop is repaired or
replaced. Once the faulty loop is replaced, press LOCAL TEST to put the system back into dual
loop mode. There is no difference between a real alarm and a short circuit. If there is a short
circuit, the indications are the same as for a real alarm.

14. The duct leak overheat detection system (DLODS) uses sensing elements adjacent to the
pneumatic ducts. It monitors the pneumatic distribution system ducts for overheat conditions.
When the system detects an overheat condition, alarm indications turn on in the flight
compartment. The indications are on the P7 glareshield panel and on the P5 air
conditioning/bleed air controls panel.
15. These are the major components of the duct leak overheat detection system:
- Overheat sensing elements
- Compartment overheat detection module (CODM)
- Air conditioning panel.

16. The duct leak overheat detection system uses a single overheat
sensing loop.
17. These are the flight compartment indications of a duct leak overheat:
- Left or right amber WING-BODY OVERHEAT light on the air conditioning panel comes on
- MASTER CAUTION and AIR COND annunciator lights come on.

18. Wing and Body Overheat Test


The duct leak overheat detection test is with the OVHT TEST switch on the air conditioning bleed air
controls panel. If the test passes, the indications in the flight compartment are the same as for a real
overheat condition. If the test fails, use the compartment overheat detection module to isolate the fault.

19. The equipment cooling system has two subsystems, the equipment cooling supply system and
the equipment cooling exhaust system. The equipment cooling smoke detection system monitors
for smoke in the supply system and the exhaust system. If there is smoke, the detection system
gives an indication in the flight compartment.
20. The detection system also starts the automatic reconfiguration of the smoke clearance mode.

21. If smoke is detected, the detector sends an alarm signal for these:
- Indication in the flight compartment
- Operation of the automatic reconfiguration for the smoke clearance mode
- Configuration of the purge mode for the supply system.

22. A test panel on the J23 junction box in the EE compartment lets you do a test of the smoke
detectors and system operation.
23.

24. SMOKE CLEARANCE MODE OPERATION HAS AN INTERFACE WITH THESE OPERATIONS
IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM:
- FLOW CONTROL AND SHUTOFF VALVE
- RECIRCULATION FANS
- EQUIPMENT COOLING FANS
- OVERBOARD EXHAUST VALVE.

25. R1184. WHEN IT ENERGIZES, THE AUTOMATIC RECONFIGURATION OPERATES.

26. WHEN A SMOKE ALARM OCCURS, THE DETECTION SYSTEM:


- GIVES THE EQUIP SMOKE ALARM INDICATION IN THE FLIGHT COMPARTMENT
- AUTOMATICALLY RECONFIGURES AIRPLANE SYSTEMS TO THE SMOKE CLEARANCE
MODE
- BEGINS THE PURGE MODE SETUP.
- RESETS THE AUTOMATIC RECONFIGURATION.
