MASTER CHIP DETECTOR CHECK
There is a red pop-out indicator visible from the oil-servicing door. If
extended, this indicates that the Electrical Master Chip Detector (EMCD)
is contaminated and the probe should be checked. To reset the red pop-out
indicator, remove the transparent cap and push in the clogging indicator
with the thumb.
The EMCD probe is located on the lubrication unit and is made up of
two magnets separated by a gap. The probe will collect any magnetic
particles in the oil system. If the particle contamination closes the gap
between the magnets an electrical signal is generated to extend the pop-out
indicator. To check for contamination, remove the probe as follows:
- Open the left fan cowl,
- At the same time, push and turn the EMCD plug ¼ turn
counterclockwise,
- Disengage the EMCD from its housing,
- Check the AMM for examples of NORMAL and ABNORMAL
contamination,
- Clean the EMCD,
- Replace o-ring if necessary and re-install - check that the RED marks
are aligned.
