DESCRIPTION
This indicator unit is part of the warning and emergency services system. Its key function is to display warnings upon issues or faults occurring, deemed as "critical".
The S.W.P. (Standard Warning Panel) displays illuminated red captions upon a critical event due to an issue or fault arising. When a caption illuminates, the audible warning begins to sound in the aircrew headsets, the attention getter lamps and "C" button on this panel begin to flash. This state is held until the "C" (cancel) button is pressed, acknowledging the event.
| Switch | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| "M" | Mute audible warning | Pull for mute, illuminates when muted |
| "C" | Warning annunciation cancel | stops attention getters flashing and audible warning |
| "T" | Indicator lamp test | Press to test all lamps, also sets off attention getters and audible warning |
| "F1" | No.1 engine fire warning | Indicates fire, and extinguishant release button |
| "F2" | No.2 engine fire warning | Indicates fire, and extinguishant release button |
The "M" mute button fitted to this unit is provided only for situations such as ground testing of aircraft systems, where the testing would cause the audible warning to sound and be distracting to technicians carrying out the testing. It illuminated red when active, to warn a pilot to cancel the mute (push the button back in) when flying.
