ESM/0305/05/00 issue 1 // Date: 02-MAY-2000Blatt: 3 Fire Protection Fuselage Improvement of Cargo Compartment Smoke Warning Analysis Non - fire case in the aircraft is not fully understood. The way to improve this is to identify relevant parameters for fire and non fire More detection time (>60 seconds) could be necessary to check the warning situation and to confirm a fire With a more reliable detection/signaling an increased level of safety can be reached Proposal Expand max. detection time of 60 seconds to approx 2 minutes if enhanced fire recognition and confirmation procedures are used within the sensors/systems

ESM/0305/05/00 issue 1 // Date: 02-MAY-2000Blatt: 4 Fire Protection Fuselage Improvement of Cargo Compartment Smoke Warning Potentials for new fire detection instruments System needs internal evaluation time to confirm sensor signals Evaluation time window Fire Parameter 1 Fire Parameter 2 Non – fire case: Several Parameters (e.g. radiation, dust, gases) vary due to environmental conditions. t [e.g. in seconds] Fire case: Parameters develop typically. In Multisensors, Signals are being calculated over a certain period of time Evaluation time window t Sensor Signal
