3. Fault Confirmation
Subtask 79-00-00-710-111-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Test.
   (1) Not applicable.
NOTE: The visual indicator is popped out if a magnetic particle is or has been captured by the Electrical Magnetic Chip Detector (EMCD).
NOTE: Nuisance detections can be experienced during early revenue service operation (up to 1.000 hours since engine new or since shop visit). Residual machining debris can be present in the engine oil system. Whenever a magnetic debris is dislodged (usually during early revenue service), it will be transported by the oil and captured by the Electrical Master Chip Detector.
In this case, it's not abnormal that no contamination is found on the magnetic chip detector at the time of the inspection since an isolated particle may have been dislodged from the chip detector magnet between the time it was captured and the time of the inspection.
4. Fault Isolation
Subtask 79-00-00-810-097-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Do this procedure:
   (1) If the Visual Indicator has popped out:
NOTE: The inspection of the Electrical Master Chip Detector can be deferred to the next convenient maintenance opportunity when trained personnel can perform the inspection without interfering with revenue service operation.
     (a) Do a check of the Master Magnetic Chip Detector for particle AMM 79-00-00-281-002.
     (b) If the indicator pop-out detections are repetitive and particles are never found:
   (2) If the EMCD circuit breaker 4EN has tripped Off in the cockpit on panel 121VU:
     (a) If the circuit breaker trips again:
  • Replace the electronic master chip detector 4007EN.
       1 If the circuit breaker trips again:
  • Check the electrical wiring between EMCD 4007EN and circuit breaker 4EN ASM 793601.
Subtask 79-00-00-710-112-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
B. Check the Visual Indicator pop-out after the next flight.
   (1) No additional maintenance action is required if the fault is not confirmed.
   (2) Repeat the fault isolation procedure if the fault continues.
