Supplementary fire warning system
The fire warning system is independent of the RES system. It consists of two thermal switches,
a heat-sensitive cable section located in the rear fuselage compartment, a 9 V battery, test
button, LED, and buzzer. The thermal switch(s) is located in the front corner of the fuselage
compartment and the heat-sensitive cbale is located within the rear fuselage are above the
high voltage batteries underneath the lip of the engine doors opening. See Figure 6-15
The 9 V battery must be replaced every two years (as part of the documented maintenance)
or any time it fails a pre-flight test - whichever occurs sooner.
