The differential pressure switch is set to operate when the differential pressure increases and gets to 12 psi plus or minus 2 psi
** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
2. Oil Filter Clogging Indication
When the differential pressure through the scavenge filter is higher than 12 psi plus or minus 2 psi, the switch closes.

    The amber OIL FILTER CLOG indication appears.
  • On the upper ECAM display unit:
    The warning message ENG 1(2) OIL FILTER CLOG appears.
When the differential pressure through the scavenge filter drops below 12 psi, the switch opens.
As a result:
  • The OIL FILTER CLOG indication on the ENG page on the lower ECAM display unit disappears.
  • The warning message on the upper ECAM display unit disappears.
