33.50 EMERGENCY LIGHTS DESCRIPTION:
Signs Panels The emergency lighting system enables passenger and crew to exit
safely from the aircraft during emergency evacuation.
Emergency lights are supplied by emergency batteries.
In order to prevent inadvertent operation, the three-position 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.
The three positions are:
 ARM
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).
 ON
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.
 DISARM
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.

ATA 33 LIGHTS | 33.00 GENERAL Safety and Precautions
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS:
CAUTION:
33.00 GENERAL  Do not drop solvent on other items. Use
Safety and Precautions only specifed cleaning materials and
solution or their equivalents.
 The surface protection could be damaged

if unspecified materials are used.
 It is important that the manufacturer's

mixing application and treatment
instructions are followed.
 Emergency light toggle switch drains

battery, when placed at arm position, with
BAT toggle switch "OFF".
WARNING:
 For safety reasons it is essential that the

following instructions are respected.
 Use care while testing or repairing,

because the anti-collision light system uses
high voltage.
 Before connecting (or disconnecting),

either power supply unit or light assembly,
wait approximatly 15 minutes to allow the
capacitors to discharge.
 When strobe lights are flashing, running

propeller may appear "motionless".
