A320 fire agents

Hi guys, what happens if I press agent number 2 first instead of number 1 (during engine fire)?

Thanks

The main difference between the 2 bottles is their electric power source. Each have two of them, but only the #1 bottles are still available when on battery power only. Provided you have the appropriate electric power available, the squib for bottle 2 will be triggered and release the requested agent into the respective engine.

Agent 2 will discharge - but ECAM blue line "Agent 1 .... DISCH'' will remain.
