position, the reed switches close and connect one of the resistors. The resistance value is
transmitted to the EEC unit.

OPT and OFDP Sensors

The OPT sensor transmits the engine oil temperature and pressure to the EEC units. The
OFDP sensor measures the differential pressure between the inlet and outlet of the oil filter.

Oil Pressure And Temperature Sensor

The OPT sensor transmits two independent signals for temperature and pressure
measurements to the EEC units. The temperature modifies the resistance of its sensing
elements. Its dual pressure measurement system transmit the delta pressure.

Oil Filter Delta Pressure Sensor

The strain gauge of the dual pressure sensing unit senses both inlet pressure and outlet
pressure to and from the oil filter acting on a membrane and provides a proportional voltage
to the EEC units for flight deck indication.

Oil Debris Monitoring System

The air/oil separator removes air from the scavenge oil as it returns to the tank. Metallic
particles are separated within the air/oil separator and sent to the ODM sensor which sends
an electrical pulse signal to the ODM unit.

Air Oil Separator - 1/2

The air/oil separator is mounted on the top of the oil tank, is connected to the oil scavenge
line, to the AGB, to the vent line, to the ODM sensor. Its oil outlet is connected to the oil tank.

Air Oil Separator - 2/2

The air and oil coming from the scavenge line of the oil lubrication unit are separated within
the air/oil separator. The air is guided towards the AGB. The oil goes to the oil tank. The
potential magnetic particles are centrifugated inside the air/oil separator.

Oil Debris Monitoring Sensor

The metallic particles directed by the air/oil separator are caught by the ODM sensor
magnetic sensing element. Its magnetic elements generate an output pulse proportional to
the particle mass.

Oil Debris Monitoring Harness

The ODM harness receives a pulse from the ODM sensor and transmits it to the ODM unit. It
consists of a connector for the output and a cable.

Oil Debris Monitoring Unit

The ODM sensor sends the ODM unit a pulse proportional to the metallic particle mass.
The pulse is processed by the ODM unit and compared to a pre-determined threshold.

Engine Low Oil Pressure Switch And Harness

The engine low oil pressure switch is located on the fan case at 9 o'clock, above the AGB. It
indicates to the flight deck a low pressure level in the AGB oil supply line.
