1 G3X Installation Overview

1.1Unpacking Unit

Carefully unpack the equipment and make a visual inspection of the unit for evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If any component of the G3X system is damaged, notify the carrier and file a claim. To justify a claim, save the original shipping container and all packing materials. Do not return the unit to Garmin until the carrier has authorized the claim.

Retain the original shipping containers for storage. If the original containers are not available, a separate cardboard container should be prepared that is large enough to accommodate sufficient packing material to prevent movement.

1.3System Overview

The G3X is an advanced technology avionics suite designed to integrate pilot/aircraft interaction into one central system. The system combines primary flight instrumentation, aircraft systems instrumentation, and navigational information, all displayed on one, two, or three color screens. The G3X system is composed of several sub-units or Line Replaceable Units (LRUs). LRUs have a modular design and can be installed directly behind the instrument panel or in a separate avionics bay if desired. This design greatly eases troubleshooting and maintenance of the G3X system. A failure or problem can be isolated to a particular LRU, which can be replaced quickly and easily. Each LRU has a particular function, or set of functions, that contributes to the system’s operation. For additional information on LRU functions, see the applicable section of this manual.

1.3.1 System Architecture

Figure 1-1 illustrates an example block diagram of a G3X installation. The flexibility of system allows the installer to determine the architecture that best fits each installation.

1.6Mounting

Refer to Section 2 through Section 6 for specific mounting instructions for each component of the G3X, and to Appendix A for Outline & Installation Drawings.

1.7Wiring/Cabling Considerations

Use MIL-W-22759/16 (or other approved wire) AWG #24 or larger wire for all connections unless otherwise specified. The supplied standard pin contacts are compatible with up to AWG #22 wire. 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.

1.7.1Wiring 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. Required connectors, etc. are provided with the G3X Installation Kit (K10-00017-00). Electrical connections are made through D subminiature connectors for the GDU 37X and GSU 73 units, and through a round 9-pin connector for the GMU 44. 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.

1.7.2 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.

1.7.3Cable 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 1-2. If the connector is provided by the installer, follow the connector manufacturer’s instructions for cable preparation.

Figure 1-2. Coaxial Cable Installation

3.Contacts for the 50, 62, and 78 pin connectors must be crimped onto the individual wires of the aircraft wiring harness. Table 1-7 lists contact part numbers (for reference) and recommended crimp tools.

1.7.4Backshell Assemblies

Connector kits include backshell assemblies. The backshell assembly houses the configuration module and a thermocouple reference junction (if applicable, see Appendix D). Garmin’s backshell connectors give the installer the ability to quickly and easily terminate shield grounds at the backshell housing. The instructions needed to install the Jackscrew Backshell, Configuration Module, and Thermocouple are located in Appendix B.

NOTE

The GDU 37X rear connector (J3701) is electrically isolated. For installations using shielded cables, a ground pin must be tied to the connector shell.

2.5Installation Considerations

Fabrication of a wiring harness is required. Sound mechanical and electrical methods and practices are recommended for installation of the GDU 37X. Refer to Section 1.6 for wiring considerations and to Appendix A for pinouts.

Connector kits include backshell assemblies. Garmin’s backshell connectors give the installer the ability to quickly and easily terminate shield grounds and install a configuration module (PFD1 only) at the backshell housing. The instructions needed to assemble the backshell connector w/Shield Block grounding system and configuration modules are located in Appendix B.

NOTE

The GDU 37X rear connector (J3701) is electrically isolated. For installations using shielded cables, a ground pin must be tied to the connector shell.

2.6Mounting Requirements

Refer to Appendix C for outline and installation drawings.

2.7Unit Installation

The GDU 37X is installed by holding the unit flush with the instrument panel and fastening the four captured 3/32” hex socket head screws to the panel as shown in Figures C-1.1 and C-1.2.

2.8Maintenance

Maintenance of the GDU 37X is “on condition” only. Periodic maintenance of the GDU 37X is not required. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) are not required for this product under 14 CFR Part 21 since the GDU 37X has received no FAA approval or endorsement.

3. GMU 44

Figure 3-1. GMU 44 Unit View

3.1Equipment Description

The Garmin GMU 44 Magnetometer is a remote mounted device that interfaces with a Garmin GSU 73 to provide flight attitude and heading data for flight instrumentation.

An Attitude and Heading Reference System combines the functions of a Vertical Gyro and a Directional Gyro to provide measurement of Roll, Pitch and Heading angles. The Garmin ADAHRS and magnetometer replace traditional rotating mass instruments.

Using long-life solid-state sensing technology, the GMU 44 Magnetometer uses magnetic field measurements to create an electronically stabilized AHRS.

The GMU 44 magnetometer provides magnetic information to support the function of the GSU 73. The GSU 73 provides operating voltage to the GMU 44 Magnetometer.
