## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE CHIP DETECTOR CONNECTOR WAS SITTING AT AN ANGLE.  THE PLUG WAS LOCKWIRED BUT WHEN THE LOCK WIRE WAS REMOVED.  THE CONNECTOR WAS LOOSE.  WHEN THE CONNECTOR WAS REMOVED, NOTICED THAT THE THREADS ON THE CHIP DETECTOR WERE DAMAGED AND ONE OF THE PINS WAS BROKEN.  THE CHIP DETECTOR WAS REMOVED AND NEW UNIT WAS ORDERED AND INSTALLED.
