breaker, placarded LIGHTS FLT INST, on the
overhead circuit breaker panel. Control is provided by
a push-button switch adjacent to the gauge. No
intensity control is provided.
(12) Free Air Temperature Light T2 . A press
to light switch located adjacent to the outside air
temperature indicator controls the indicator ON / OFF
power function. However, light intensity is controlled
by the COPILOT INSTR LIGHTS rheostat. The light
circuitry receives power through, and is protected by,
the LIGHTS FLT INST circuit breaker located in the
overhead circuit breaker panel.
c. Cabin Lighting.
(1) Interior Lights C D T1 . Dual intensity
fluorescent lights are installed on both sides of the
overhead trim. The circuit is protected by a 10-ampere
circuit breaker, placarded FASTEN SEAT BELT / NO
SMOKE C and CABIN LIGHTS & SIGN D T1 , on
the overhead circuit breaker panel. Control is provided
by a switch, placarded INTR LIGHT OFF / DIM / BRT
START, on the overhead control panel. The switch
must be placed in the BRT START position to
illuminate the lights. Intensity can be reduced by
placing the switch in DIM position.
(2) Interior Lights T2 . Dual intensity cold
cathode lights are installed on both sides of the
overhead trim. The circuits are protected by a
10-ampere circuit breaker, placarded CABIN LIGHTS,
located on the overhead circuit breaker panel. Control
is provided by a switch, placarded CABIN LIGHT ON
BRIGHT, located on the overhead control panel. Light
intensity is increased by placing the switch in BRIGHT
position. Cabin light intensity is also increased upon
automatic deployment of the oxygen masks.
(3) No Smoking Fasten Seat Belt Lights.
One light assembly is mounted in the overhead on
each side of the cabin. The circuit is protected by a
circuit breaker located on the overhead circuit breaker
panel. Control is provided by a switch, placarded
CABIN SIGNS FASTEN SEAT BELT/ OFF /BOTH, on
the overhead control panel. Placing the switch in
SEAT BELT position will illuminate both FASTEN
SEAT BELT lights and sound the audible warning
chime mounted behind the upholstery in the cabin.
Placing the switch in BOTH position will illuminate both
FASTEN SEAT BELT and both NO SMOKING lights
and will sound the audible warning chime.
(4) Reading Lights. Reading lights are
installed in the upholstery adjacent to each seat
position. The circuit is protected by a 10-ampere
circuit breaker, placarded FASTEN SEAT BELT / NO
SMOKE C and a 5-ampere circuit breaker, placarded
READING LIGHTS T , located on the overhead circuit
breaker panel. Control is provided by a push-button
switch adjacent to each light.
(5) Threshold and Spar Cover Lights. A
threshold light is installed just above floor level on the
left side of the cabin just inside the cabin door. A spar
cover light is installed on the left side of the sunken
aisle immediately aft of the main spar cover. Both
circuits are protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker
mounted beneath the battery and connected to the
emergency battery bus. Both lights are controlled by
the switch mounted adjacent to the threshold light. If
the lights are illuminated, closing the cabin door will
automatically extinguish them.
(6) Dome Light. A dome light is installed in
the baggage area in the overhead. The circuit is
protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker mounted
beneath the battery and connected to the emergency
battery bus. Control is provided by a switch mounted
adjacent to the light.
2-87. EMERGENCY LIGHTING.
a. Description.
An
independent
battery
operated lighting system is installed. The system,
which consists of five lights, is actuated automatically
by shock such as a forced landing. It provides
adequate lighting inside and outside the fuselage to
permit crew and passengers to read instruction
placards and locate exits. An inertia switch, when
subjected to a 2 3 G shock, will illuminate interior
lights in the cockpit, forward and aft cabin areas,
exterior lights aft of the emergency exit, and aft of the
cabin door. The battery power source is automatically
recharged by the aircraft electrical system.
b. Operation. An emergency lights override
switch located on the overhead control panel is
provided to turn the system off if it is accidentally
actuated. The switch is placarded EMERG LIGHTS
OVRD OFF / RESET C D T1 and EMER LIGHTS
OFF / RESET / AUTO /TEST T2 . Should the system
accidentally actuate, placing the switch in the
momentary OFF/RESET position will extinguish the
lights. T2 To test the system, place the switch in the
momentary TEST position and the lights should
illuminate. Moving the switch to the OFF / RESET
position will turn the system off and reset it.
