	1.4.4 Cooling Requirements

While no forced cooling air is required for the Garmin Device, it is highly recommended that the air behind the panel be kept moving (by ventilation or a fan).

NOTE

Avoid installing the Garmin Device LRUs near heat sources. If this is not possible, ensure that additional cooling is provided. llow adequate space for installation of cables and connectors. The installer will supply and fabricate all of the cables. All wiring should be in accordance with F C 43.13-1B and C 43.13-2A.

1.5 Mounting

Refer to Sections 2 and 3 for specific mounting instructions for each component of the Garmin Device, and to Appendix C for Outline & Installation Drawings.

1.6 Wiring/Cabling Considerations

Use MIL-W-22759/16 (or other approved wire) AWG #22 or larger wire for all connections unless otherwise specified. The standard pin contacts supplied in the connector kit are compatible with up to AWG #22 wire. See Figure -1 for power/ground wire info. In cases where some installations have more than one LRU sharing a common circuit breaker, sizing and wire gauge is based on aircraft circuit breaker layout, length of wiring, current draw on units, and internal unit protection characteristics. Do not attempt to combine more than one unit on the same circuit breaker.

RG400 or RG142 coaxial cable with 50 Ω nominal impedance and meeting applicable aviation regulations should be used for the installation.

Rev. 1	Page 1-3

1.7 Wiring Harness Installation

Allow adequate space for installation of cables and connectors. Ensure that routing of the wiring does not come in contact with sources of heat, RF or EMI interference. Analog Input wires routed too close to spark plugs, plug wires, or magnetos may result in erratic readings.

The installer shall supply and fabricate all of the cables. The connector is available in the Garmin Device Connector Kit (011-01921-10). Electrical connections are made through a 50 pin D-subminiature connector for the Garmin Device units. Appendix A defines the electrical characteristics of all input and output signals. Required connectors and associated hardware are supplied with the connector kit.

CAUTION

Check wiring connections for errors before connecting any wiring harnesses. Incorrect wiring could cause internal component damage.

1.7.1 Cable Location Considerations

Use cable meeting the applicable aviation regulation for the interconnect wiring. Any cable meeting specifications is acceptable for the installation. When routing cables, observe the following precautions:

• All cable routing should be kept as short and as direct as possible.

• Check that there is ample space for the cabling and mating connectors.

• Avoid sharp bends in cabling.

• Avoid routing near aircraft control cables.

• Avoid routing cables near power sources (e.g., 400 Hz generators, trim motors, etc.) or near power for fluorescent lighting.

• Route the GPS antenna cable as far as possible away from all COM transceivers and

	antenna cables.

	Page 1-4	Rev. 1

1.7.2 Cable Installation

1. Route the coaxial cable to the unit location. Secure the cable in accordance with good aviation practices.

2. Trim the coaxial cable to the desired length and install the BNC connector (330-00087-00) per the cabling instructions on Figure 1-1. If the connector is provided by the installer, follow the connector manufacturer’s instructions for cable preparation.

DRAFTFigure 1-1 Coax Cable Installation

3 GPS/SIRIUSXM® ANTENNA INSTALLATION

This section contains general information as well as installation information for GPS and SiriusXM antennas. Use this section to mount the GPS/SiriusXM antenna(s).

In an installation with multiple Garmin Device units, each Garmin Device can be configured to use its own internal GPS receiver, or to receive GPS data transmitted by another Garmin Device. A minimum of one

GPS antenna is required for installations using more than one Garmin Device unit, as the Garmin Device will “share” the GPS information with all Garmin Device units. Additional GPS antennas may be used for redundancy, but are not required.

DRAFT
190-00303-91	Garmin Device Installation Manual
Rev. 1	Page 3-1

NOTE

Only a single GPS antenna is required for installations using more than one

Garmin Device unit, as the Garmin Device will “share” the GPS information with all Garmin Device units.

3.1 Garmin Antennas

If using a Garmin GA 26C or GA 26XM, refer to the accompanying installation instructions (190-00082-00 or 190-00522-03). For GA 55/55A, or GA 56 or GA 57X antennas, refer to this section and the outline and installation drawings beginning with Figure C-1.

	Garmin recommends the antennas shown in Table 3-1. However, any equivalent GPS or SiriusXM®
	antenna that meets the specifications listed in Table 3-2 and Table 3-3 should work with the system.

It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that their choice of antenna meets AA standards according to the specific installation. This installation manual discusses only the antennas listed in able 3-1. Other antennas may be acceptable but their installation is not covered by this manual.

There are several critical factors to take into consideration before installing an antenna for a satellite communications system. These factors are addressed in the following sections.

3.2 Antenna Mounting Considerations

The information in this section does not pertain to in-cabin (internal) mounted antennas such as the GA 26C, refer to the accompanying installation instructions (190-00082-00).

No special precautions need be taken to provide an electrical bonding path between the GPS Antenna and the aircraft structure.

3.2.1 VHF COM/GPS Interference

On some installation VHF COM transceivers, Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) antennas, and Direction Finder (DF) receiver antennas can re-radiate through the GPS antenna. The Garmin Device does not interfere with its own GPS receiver. However, placement of the GPS antenna relative to a COM transceiver and COM antenna, ELT antenna, and DF receiver antenna is critical.

Use the following guidelines, in addition to others in this document, when locating the Garmin Device and its antennas.

• GPS Antenna—Locate as far as possible from all COM antennas and all COM transceivers, ELT antennas, and DF antennas. The GPS antenna is less susceptible to harmonic interference if a 1.57542 GHz notch filter is installed on the COM transceiver antenna output.

• Locate the Garmin evice as far as possible from all COM antennas.

If a COM antenna is found to be the problem, a 1.57542 GHz notch filter (Garmin P/N 330-00067-00) may be installed in the VHF COM coax, as close to the COM as possible.

If a COM is found to be radiating, the following can be done:

1.Replace or clean the VHF COM rack connector to ensure good coax ground.

2.Place grounding straps between the Garmin Device unit, VHF COM and a good ground.

3.Shield the VHF COM wiring harness.
