(1) Portable fire extinguishers type HAL 1, HAL 1.2 and HAL 2.5 are intended for use in
aircraft pilot- and passenger cabins.
They are filled with HALON 1211. The fire extinguishers are approved for the attack
on flammable solids, flammable liquids, flammable gases and for fires in the presents
of electrical tensions up to 1000 Volt.
The extinguishers are designed for a one hand operation.
Operating instructions
When held in place with a strap, open fastener and remove extinguisher from bracket. Bent
down safety lever (black), remove seal wire and than squeeze release lever (red). Attack fire with
the discharging extinguishing agent.
Attack the fire starting from front. Discharge agent in shots according to requirements.

** acc. CFR 173.309 (C).(4). Test pressure must be three times charged pressure (11.5 bar/166.8 psi)
at 21ºC/70ºF and not less than 120 psi.
All fire extinguishers can be operated at temperatures of between -40°C and +70°C
(-40°F and +158°F).
Throw distance for the extinguishers 74-00, 74-20, 74-21, 74-22 and 76-00 is 3.50 m
(11.5 Ft) at +20°C (+68°F).
Inspection regulations
In case of security relevant damages the fire extinguisher has to be scrapped immediately.
If the pressure is reduced the fire extinguisher has to be basically overhauled immediately.
(1) Pre-flight inspection
Check the pressure gauge. At room temperature the indicator must be in the green section.
The seal wire on the safeguard lever must not be damaged.
• Visually inspect valve, container thread and O-ring seat for damage.
If discoloration or corrosion is found on the riser pipe, we recommend replacing the entire
valve.
• Screw valve with new O-ring (20*) back on to the container. (Apply a light layer of acid
free Vaseline to thread and O-ring). Torque: 30 Nm
• Clean container. Check label, mounting bracket and fastening strap for damage.
Filling instructions
The fire extinguisher shall only be refilled by an aviation approved maintenance organisation.
When filling HALON extinguishers the filling station must observe the following instructions:
After assembly the empty extinguisher must be placed on a scale to determine the
weight. This net weight must be entered in the check note.
(2) Refilling:
Place the extinguisher on a scale and connect it to the fill station. During the filling process
the release lever of the extinguisher must be held down with a clamp. The weight of this
clamp must be taken into consideration in the weighing process.
The extinguishing agent is filled according to weight. Care must be taken to observe the
permissible fill tolerances.
After the filling the extinguisher must be pressurized with gaseous nitrogen (99.0 to 99.8
degree of purity, dew point -40°C, (-40°F)). The pressurization for HAL 1, HAL 1.2 and
HAL 2.5 should be according to temperature-pressure curves T565*.
The nominal fill pressure at +15°C is 11 bar (mark in green section of gauge dial). Than
move the closed extinguisher horizontally back and forth to mix HALON and nitrogen
together. In this process the container pressure drops. Depressurize the extinguisher to
the specified pressure. Remove the clamp from container release lever. Secure release
lever. The fill line can than be depressurized and also closed.
* see page 16
After the fill process is completed and the extinguisher disconnected from the fill line, the
extinguisher must be placed back on the scale again to determine the total weight. This
weight must be entered in the inspection record card and on the extinguisher check note
(when weighing the extinguisher, the weight of seal, seal wire and the approval label must
be included).
Storage
The storage temperature shall not exceed 70°C (158°F). Ambient air should be dry and free of
corrosion causing components. The extinguisher must be inspected every 2 years (or in shorter
periods according to internal regulations) as described in item 1.
DOT requirements
For any transportation by road, air or sea to, from and within USA an approval from DOT is
mandatory. The marking “MEETS DOT REQUIREMENTS” on the fire extinguisher confirms the
approval.
Above mentioned fire extinguishers, produced before May 2016 are not marked with
“MEETS DOT REQUIREMENTS”. Before transportations the following actions on this fire
extinguishers have to be performed:
- If the hydrostatic pressure test is requested, it has to be done with 36 bar (see
technical data page 8). The label “DOT-SP 20248” needs to be replaced with
the marking “MEETS DOT REQUIREMENTS”.
Above mentioned fire extinguishers, produced after May 2016, are not concerned from this
measure. For this fire extinguishers the correct labelling occurred during production.
This parts list contains all subassemblies and components of the above listed fire extinguishers.
(5) Description
The section description contains the name of every subassembly or extinguisher
component.
(6) EFF-Code
Section EFF-code refers to the association of similar subassemblies / components.
These parts are identified with the letters A, B, C.
Is a component used in all extinguishers this section remains empty.
