FIRE EXTINGUISHER
HALON FIRE EXTINGUISHER
The fire extinguisher in the EMBRAER 170/175/190/195 contains a
Halon blend composed by two different fire-fighting agents.
This blend evaporates on contact, leaving no damaging powdery
residue. It may be used to extinguish the following classes of fire:
• Class A (paper, wood, fabric, rubber).
• Class B (oils, greases, flammable liquids).
• Class C (electrical or electronic equipment, live electrical).

LIFERAFT
The airplane is equipped with 36 person liferaft designed to provide a
reliable and safe flotation in the event of an emergency water landing.
The liferaft incorporates means for manual deployment and inflation.
The liferaft is a Type I dual tube reversible liferaft and consists of a
inflation system and a survival kit including canopy.
The liferaft is packed in a carrying case, which is provided by a
window to view the pressure gauge on the reservoir and valve and
monitor the gas charge pressure in the bottle.
The reservoir bottle capacity is 300 in3 and contains a gas charge
mixture of 42% CO2 and 58% N2 at a pressure of 3120 psig at 70°F.
A valve connected to the reservoir regulates and controls the gas flow.

MANUAL

A manually inflatable deck float at the center of liferaft provides


additional buoyancy.
Lifelines on the outboard perimeter are installed for survivors to grasp
from the water. Internal lifelines allows survivors to steady themselves
on the liferaft.
Boarding handles and ladders are located at each end of lifelines to
enable survivors to climb aboard.
A mooring line can be attached to the airplane by means of a snap
hook to prevent the liferaft of blowing away from survivors as they are
boarding. The mooring line is attached to the inflation system and is
used with the inflation pull handle to initiate the inflation of liferaft.
A floating knife is provided to cut the mooring line in the event of
airplane is sinking or on fire.
Manual inflate/deflate valves allow survivors to increase air pressure
connecting a hand pump supplied in the survival kit. The pump must
be squeezed until the desired pressure has been obtained.
A heaving ring and line is provided as a rescue aid and can be thrown
to survivors in the water.
The sea anchor is used to control the drift rate and orientation of
liferaft.
Two locator lights provide ais in locating liferaft at night. The lights are
operated by water-activated batteries.
The survival kit is available in the liferaft and includes:
- Liferaft manual;
- First aid equipment;
- Tube repair kit;
- Hand pump with adapter;
- Signaling devices, such as flash light and flares;
- Orange canopy to provide protection against enviromental
conditions.
The canopy may be attached to the liferaft and supported by metal
rods. The rods are snapped into holders around the inside perimeter of
the liferaft with the canopy spread and snapped over the rods.

FLIGHT CREW OXYGEN SYSTEM


Flight crew oxygen is provided via a conventional, high-pressure,
gaseous-type system. The cylinder is installed in the forward cargo
compartment.
Flight crew and observer full-face, quick-donning masks and regulators
are stowed in oxygen mask boxes near each seat. Removing the mask
from the stowage box, and pressing the harness inflation control valve,
will inflate the harness and initiate oxygen flow, thereby rendering the
mask ready for use. An oxygen supply control knob is used to set the
oxygen flow to normal, 100% or emergency mode.

PASSENGER AND CABIN CREW OXYGEN SYSTEM


Individual chemical oxygen generators supply the passenger oxygen
system. The passenger oxygen system provides oxygen for the
following items: PSUs, flight attendant stations, lavatories, and galley
areas.
The chemical oxygen generators and passenger oxygen masks are
located in the dispensing units housed in the passenger service units
(PSU), above the passenger seats. Each dispensing unit contains
either two or three masks, each supplying oxygen for approximately
12 minutes. The masks are held in a mask retainer. Once the masks
begin supplying oxygen, they cannot be shut off.
The oxygen masks are held in a mask retainer. The yellow mask must
be pulled out of the retainer. Oxygen flows whenever any yellow mask
hanging from the dispensing unit is pulled downward. Pulling the
oxygen mask downward causes all the masks in that particular unit to
drop, with 100% oxygen flow to the masks. A green, in-line flow
indicator is visible in the transparent oxygen hose whenever oxygen is
flowing to the masks. The masks automatically drop from the
dispensing unit if cabin altitude exceeds 14000 ft. Manual deployment
can be performed from the cockpit by positioning the passenger
oxygen selector knob to the override position.

PORTABLE OXYGEN CYLINDER


There are two portable oxygen cylinders installed in the passenger
cabin, near each cabin attendant station. The cylinders are fitted with a
pressure gauge, a pressure regulator and an ON/OFF valve. The
cylinders are pressurized to 1800 psi. If during the pre-flight check it is
observed that pressure is greater than 1800 psi, flight attendants
should inform maintenance staff.
Two continuous flow outlets are available; one regulating flow at
2 liters per minute for walk-around use and the second providing flow
at 4 liters per minute for first aid use.

PROTECTIVE BREATHING EQUIPMENT (PBE)


The PBE unit is for emergency use only, providing the flight crew and
flight attendants with oxygen for respiratory and visual protection from
fire, smoke and other harmful gases.
There are three PBEs located in the passenger cabin and one in the
flight compartment.
PROTECTIVE BREATHING EQUIPMENT (SCOTT)
PBE device consists basically of a double layer synthetic material
hood, which isolates user’s head from the external environment and a
life support pack, where a chemical reaction produces oxygen. PBE is
vacuum-sealed in a transparent bag and contained within a carrying
plastic case. The unit is for emergency use only, providing the crew
with positive pressure oxygen for respiratory and visual protection from
fire, smoke and other harmful gases at altitudes up to 40000 ft. The
oxygen supply is at least 15 minutes.
The equipment hood isolates the head from the external ambient by
means of an elastic neck seal. Pulling the chemical oxygen generator
actuation ring initiates the oxygen flow. Once the oxygen flow is
started, it cannot be stopped.
The carrying case has an inspection window, which allows
visualization of a “good condition strap” without opening the case. In
case of leakage, the “good condition indicator” will turn from blue to
pink, indicating that the unit is unserviceable. In case of a vacuum
loss, even with the “good condition indicator” blue, the unit is also
unserviceable.

The PBE is installed as a two component system, a low moisture
transmission vacuum sealed bag, and a protective stowage box. The
stowage box may have a tamper seal to help protect the vacuum bag.
In case this seal is employed, pre flight inspection is done by checking
the integrity of the tamper seal, and the presence of the vacuum bag
through the inspection port. If no tamper seal is employed, the
inspection may be done by visually determining if the vacuum bag is
intact and not inflated. If the PBE is not in usable conditions, the unit
must be replaced.
The unit itself is designed to protect user’s eyes and respiratory tract in
an atmosphere containing smoke and fumes, by isolating the eyes and
breathing functions from the environment. If used correctly, it will
provide at least 15 minutes of oxygen to the user.

EMERGENCY LOCATOR TRANSMITTER (ELT)


Transmitting a radio signal on frequencies of 121.5, 243.0 and
406 MHz when activated, the Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)
assists in the swift location of the airplane during search and rescue
operations.
The system comprises a transmitter with an ON/OFF switch and an
impact switch installed in the rear rack, an antenna located on the top
rear and a remote panel located in the cockpit.
The ELT may be manually or automatically activated. In both cases, a
red light flashes on the cockpit panel to indicate the ELT’s activation.
Manual activation may be performed when any switch is set to the ON
position.
Automatic activation occurs when the transmitter switch is set to the
OFF position, the cockpit switch is set to the ARM position and the
airplane suffers a deceleration whose intensity triggers the impact
switch.
Using an optional configuration with the ELT/NAV interface unit, the
ELT is able to transmit the geographical position of the airplane when
activated.
