Removal of the Primary Lock Proximity Sensor
WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU DO WORK ON THE ENGINE PARTS AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN. USE APPLICABLE THERMAL GLOVES. THE ENGINE PARTS CAN STAY HOT FOR ONE HOUR AFTER SHUTDOWN AND CAN BURN YOU.
1. Reason for the JobThis procedure gives the instructions for the removal of the primary lock proximity sensors. Two proximity sensors are installed on each of the two upper actuators on the thrust reverser:
- Upper left actuator, channel A proximity sensor (4032EG)
- Upper left actuator, channel B proximity sensor (4040EG)
- Upper right actuator, channel A proximity sensor (4033EG)
- Upper right actuator, channel B proximity sensor (4041EG).
NOTE: The two upper actuators are referred to as the Synchronized Locking Feedback Actuators (SLFAs).
