 HYDRAULIC POWER HYD PUMP LOW PRESSURE SWITCHES-MHS

• Hydraulic system A and system B pump low

pressure switches send pressure data to the
flight compartment when pump pressure is
less than normal.
• The standby hydraulic system pump low
pressure switch sends pressure data to the
flight compartment when the pump pressure
is less than normal.

 HYDRAULIC POWER HYD PUMP LOW PRESSURE SWITCHES-SHS

A pressure switch monitors the pressure of the electric

motor-driven pump (EMDP) in the standby hydraulic
system. This switch sends a signal to the STANDBY HYD
LOW PRESSURE light on the flight control panel.

The pump pressure switch on the standby module monitors

the pressure of the EMDP.

The pump pressure switch closes and supplies a ground

when the EMDP pressure decreases to less than 1300 psi.

 HYDRAULIC POWER HYD FLUID OVERHEAT WARNING SYS

• The hydraulic fluid overheat warning switch is

in the case drain line between the related
EMDP and case drain filter module in the
main landing gear wheel well.
• When the hydraulic fluid temperature in the
case drain line from the EMDP increases to
225F or more, the switch sends a signal to the
hydraulic panel.
• This puts on the HYD PUMP OVERHEAT amber
light.
