WARNING: DO NOT CLOSE AN OPEN (TRIPPED) CIRCUIT BREAKER RELATED TO A FUEL-PUMP. IF YOU CLOSE THE CIRCUIT BREAKER, THERE IS A RISK:
  • OF FIRE OR OF AN EXPLOSION
  • OF DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WIRING AND STRUCTURE.
   (1) Examine the C/B-ACT PUMP SUPPLY (25QH).
   (2) If the C/B-25QH:
     (a) Is open (tripped), do the procedure Fuel Pumps - ACT Manual Transfer Pump, Power Supply - C/B-25QH Tripped (Ref. TSM TASK 28-28-00-810-824).
     (b) Is closed (set):
       1 Do a check of the three leak monitors (Ref. TSM TASK 28-13-00-810-801).
       2 If you find fuel in a leak monitor, do the related trouble-shooting (Ref. TSM TASK 28-13-00-810-801).
NOTE: It is important to make sure that there are no fuel leaks in the ACT system assemblies before you do the test that follows.
       3 Do the Operational Test of the ACT Manual Transfer System AMM 28-28-00-710-001.
NOTE: The PUMP-FUEL TRANSFER, ACT (1QH) operates independently of system inhibits.
NOTE: If the fuel pump motor (1QH) can be heard to operate it does not necessarily operate correctly. The impeller or inducer can be damaged.
NOTE: If the center tank is full of fuel it will inhibit/stop a manual transfer by keeping the ACT 1 inlet valve closed (when the aircraft is on the ground).
In a similar manner a failure to energize the 501PP FUELLING BUS 28VDC, will cause the center tank high level channel LS7 of the sensor (20QJ) (in the FLSCU-1 (7QJ)) to give a false WET output (not powered - de-energized condition).
It is therefore important to make sure that the REFUEL panel door 192MB/522KB/622KB is open during the operational test.
OR (if possible/installed)
The P/BSW-REFUEL PWR (23QU) is set to on.
NOTE: The P/BSW-FUEL/ACT/AUTO (24QH) FAULT legend/light can come on for up to approximately ten (10) minutes if it is necessary for the fuel pump (impeller type) to prime/reprime the system. When the fuel pressure builds up sufficiently to operate the pressure switch (by the action of the ACT fuel transfer pump), the FAULT legend will go off.
During flight or flight simulation the FAULT legend/light operation is inhibited until at least one of the ACT 1 low level sensors has been dry for four minutes (4) minutes.
The four minute delay is the sum of the relay operation as follows:
  • RELAY-LO LVL SENSE, ACT 1 (3QH), one (1) minute
  • RELAY-LO PRESSURE DELAY (27QH), three (3) minutes.
4. Fault Isolation

A. Procedure
NOTE: This procedure is only applicable when an ACT 1 and an ACT 2 are installed and the two are configured for operation.
   (1) If necessary, remove the applicable protective covers as follows:
   (2) On the FUEL System Display:
  • examine the center tank, the ACT 1 and the ACT 2 fuel quantity indications (FQIs) and make a note of their amounts. This is to see which of the ACTs will be selected to transfer fuel forward.
NOTE: In normal operation ACT 2 fuel is used before ACT 1 fuel.
   (3) Use a multimeter to do a test, for 28 VDC, at the relay panel (802VU) TEST connector 4068VC, pin E.
   (4) If the voltage at Test connector 4068VC, pin E, shows:
     (a) Zero VDC and the ACT 2, FQI is more than/or approximately 100 kg (220 lb), do step (5).
NOTE: This indicates that the RELAY-18QH is in the ACT 2 position.
     (b) 28VDC and the ACT 2, FQI is more than 100 kg (220 lb), do ACT 2 Sequence Failure (Ref. TSM TASK 28-28-00-810-807).
     (c) Zero VDC and the ACT 2, FQI is less than 100 kg (220 lb), do ACT 2 Sequence Failure (Ref. TSM TASK 28-28-00-810-807).
     (d) 28VDC and the ACT 2, FQI is approximately/or less than 100 kg (220 lb), do step (6)
NOTE: This indicates that the RELAY-18QH is in the ACT 1 position.
   (5) Examine the see/feel indicator positions of the actuators shown in the table that follows.

       2 Not in the correct positions as specified, do the ACT 1 Manual Transfer Failure (Ref. TSM TASK 28-28-00-810-802).
   (7) Do a check, for signs of damage or incorrect installation, of:
NOTE: Air Ingress
An ACT pumped transfer can be stopped or slowed if air leaks in at these positions/connections.
     (a) The refuel transfer line to the ACT 1 (fuel pipe line) connection.
NOTE: Access to the fuel line connection is through the access:
  • panel (241NF) in the floor of the passenger compartment
  • panel (151KC) in the ceiling of the aft cargo compartment.
     (b) The ACT 1 to the ACT 2 refuel transfer line (fuel pipe line) connection.
NOTE: Access to the fuel line connection is through the acess:
  • panel (251KG) in the floor of the passenger compartment
  • panel (151NC) in the ceiling of the aft cargo compartment.
     (c) The ACT 2 rear wall fuel pipe line blanked connection.
     (d) Repair all the unserviceable pipes, blanks and connections.
   (8) If fuel transfers go to step (10). If fuel does not transfer from ACT 2 or ACT 1:
     (a) Set the P/BSW-FUEL/ACT/AUTO (24QH) to AUTO (release out). This will switch off the fuel pump (1QH).
     (b) Disconnect the electrical supply cable end connector (1QH-A) from the pump receptacle.
     (c) Set the P/BSW-FUEL/ACT/AUTO (24QH) to FWD/MAN (push in). This will close the contactor (26QH) and the 115VAC three phases will be supplied to the end connector 1QH-A.
       1 Make sure that the white FWD legend/light comes on.
     (d) Use a MULTIMETER - STANDARD to do a test, to make sure that each of the 115VAC 3 phases are available at the supply cable end connector 1QH-A AWM 282802.
     (e) Set the P/BSW-FUEL/ACT/AUTO (24QH) to AUTO (release out). This will switch off the fuel pump (1QH) 115VAC three phase supply to the end connector 1QH-A.
     (f) If the 115VAC three phase supply voltage is correct, do a check of and replace, if necessary:
       1 The PUMP-FUEL TRANSFER, ACT [1QH] AMM 28-28-51-000-001 and AMM 28-28-51-400-001.
