Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to provide instructions for inspecting the wiring on the Vacuum Pump Module and addressing any wiring damage or potential for damage.

Parts and Materials Required

Time Required

  • 45 Minutes

Procedure

  1. Remove the Vacuum Pump Module.
  2. Place the Vacuum Pump Module on an absorbent pad on a workbench.
  3. ClosedLocate the pump controller module on each vacuum pump shown in the image below.

  4. ClosedLocate the power wires exiting the controller modules shown below.

    Note—The power wires may be in contact with the housing of the adjacent pump, which can damage the insulation of the wires.

  5. ClosedInspect all power wires for damage to the insulation.
    Note—If damage is present and the metal wire is exposed the Vacuum Pump Module must be replace.

    Note—Minor abrasion to the insulation where the metal wire is not exposed is acceptable.
    Caution— Replace both pumps if there is damaged insulation.
  6. ClosedRoute the wiring from the controller module connector so that the wires are away from the adjacent pump.

    1. ClosedThere should be an adequate gap between the wires and the adjacent pump.

  7. Install the Vacuum Pump Module into the Panther System.
