Î The emergency lighting system enables passenger and crew to exit safely from the aircraft during emergency evacuation. Emergency lights are supplied
by emergency batteries. The emergency system operation is controlled by means of ON/ARM/DISARM three-position switch, located on flight
compartment overhead panel (24VU). In order to prevent inadvertent operation, this switch can be locked in any of the three positions. Emergency lighting
can also be controlled from cabin attendant panel in passenger compartment, by pressing "EMERGENCY LIGHT" pushbutton switch. Action on this
pushbutton switch, after removing safety guard,overrides all positions of cockpit switch 2WL.
Î A. ARM Position. This is the normal switch position during flight. The emergency lighting is automatically actuated as soon as both DC generators are lost
or when the standby bus voltage is below 18V. Otherwise, the emergency lighting remains off and the 6V emergency batteries are slowly charged when
the power supply voltage is 28V (STDBY BUS).
Î B. ON Position. The emergency lighting comes on whether or not the power supply voltage is 28V. (The 6V emergency batteries will be discharged only
when the onboard network voltage decreases below 18V). Batteries are charged if power supply voltage is 28V.
Î C. DISARM Position. The emergency lighting is off whether or not the power supply voltage is 28V. This is the normal position of the switch when the
aircraft is on ground. The batteries are charged as long as the aircraft network power supply voltage is 28V. the DISARM caution light located on
overhead panel 24VU comes on if 28V power supply is available on aircraft network.
