All the data about the passenger/crew doors, the emergency exit doors and the avionics and cargo compartment doors and the escape slide arming are sent to the ECAM system with the proximity switches. When the cabin pressure level is higher than the external atmospheric pressure level (or more than 2.5 mbar (0.04 psi)), a discrete signal is sent to the ECAM system.
SDAC1 and SDAC2 collect the data about the passenger/crew doors, the emergency exit doors and the avionics compartment doors.
LGCIU1 collects the data about the cargo compartment doors and sends them to FWC1 and FWC2 with the ARINC 429 busbar.
The SLIDE ARMED indicator light comes on when:
  • A person tries to open a passenger/crew door or an emergency exit door.
  • The escape slide is in the armed position.
The CABIN PRESSURE warning light flashes when:
  • The oil pressure of the two engines decreases
  • The escape slide is in the disarmed position and
  • The cabin pressure level is higher than the external atmospheric pressure (or more than 2.5 mbar (0.04 psi)).
