Page 1-4 Rev. F GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 General Description 1.5 Audio Entertainment Installation Limitations The GDL 69A XM Satellite Radio audio entertainment and optional GRT 10/GRC 10 wireless remote system may be installed to all passenger locations for all aircraft on the STC Approved Model List

(AML). XM audio entertainment to crew locations depends on aircraft installation, which must meet requirements of 14 CFR 23.1431(e). For purpose of this STC, 14 CFR 23.1431(e) requires that each pilot station must be able to hear the aircrafts stall warning horn with the entertainment system audio set to the maximum pilot controllable setting. This also applies to aircraft with a gear extension warning horn. Aircraft which have electric stall/gear warning may utilize the GDL 69A audio suppression discrete input to turn off the music during an event. For these installations, the XM audio may be provided to the crew locations. For aircraft installations with non-electric stall/gear warning horns, this STC does not provide data for installation of audio entertainment to crew locations. The GDL 69A audio entertainment may not be wired to crew locations without a separate evaluation that is beyond the scope of this STC. It is possible for installers to seek evaluation and approval of an alternate installation by means of the field approval process. Each installation or aircraft type must be evaluated for compliance with 14 CFR 23.1431(e). This evaluation may determine that the required horns can be heard satisfactorily without disabling the GDL 69A audio entertainment to the crew. The optional GRT 10/GRC 10 wireless remote system has been tested for interference as part of the STC. Its operation must not interfere with the proper operation of any required aircraft equipment or systems. STC installation requires that the installer verify that there is no interference using the post-installation check-out procedure detailed in Section 4. Operators may use the STC qualification of the device as a basis for showing compliance with 14 CFR Part 91.21. GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Page 1-5 Rev.

 Rack Location and Installation The GDL 69/69A and optional GRT 10 may be mounted in a pressurized or unpressurized location, neither unit requires forced-air cooling. When mounting, avoid locating the equipment near sources that produce high levels of heat. The GDL 69/69A has two mounting rack options available, the remote rack and the modular rack for use with the G1000 system. Figure 2-1. Suggested Mounting Locations for Remote Rack


Remote Mount Rack The remote mount rack can be installed in a variety of locations, such as the electronics bay, behind the instrument panel, under the seat or behind the rear baggage area. Leave sufficient clearance between the GDL 69/69A and any obstruction. Install the rack in accordance with AC43.13-2A Chapter 2 Radio Installations. The remote mount rack should be mounted to a surface known to have sufficient structural integrity to withstand additional inertial forces imposed by a 1.86 pound unit (1.72 lbs. for GDL 69). If it is necessary to build a shelf or bracket to mount the GDL 69/69A rack or if is not certain that the chosen location is of sufficient structural integrity, refer to Appendix C. Refer to Figure 1-4 for the GDL 69/69A remote mount rack dimensions. The rack can be mounted vertically using four 8-32 pan head screws

(MS35206, AN526 or equivalent.) It can also be mounted horizontally using four 6-32 100 counter-sunk flathead screws (MS24693, AN507R or equivalent.) Ensure that the rack has a ground path to the airframe by having at least one mounting screw in contact with the airframe to minimize radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI).

 G1000 Modular Rack The G1000 modular rack is used to install the GDL 69/69A in the standard G1000 integrated avionics system rack. This modular rack may be mounted behind the instrument panel or in the avionics bay. Refer to Figure 1-5 for the GDL 69/69A G1000 modular rack dimensions. This STC covers the installation of the GDL 69/69A modular rack into the installed G1000 integrated avionics system rack, but does not cover the installation of the G1000 integrated avionics system rack. Page 2-4 Rev. F GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Installation Procedure

 GRT 10 Mounting The optional GRT 10 transceiver is mounted using four #6 pan head screws (MS35206, AN526, or equivalent) onto a solid surface. Install the GRT 10 in accordance with AC43.13-2A Chapter 2 Radio Installations. Because the weight of the GRT 10 is only 0.27 lbs, the impact of the weight to the surrounding structure is negligible and no structural validation procedures are required. If the GDL 69A is mounted behind a metal bulkhead, the GRT 10 should be mounted inside the cabin to get better signal strength. For optimal performance, the end of the GRT 10 opposite the 9-pin D-sub should face the cabin. CONNECTOR KIT ASSEMBLY P/N: 011-01556-00 GRT 10 P/N: 011-01557-00 Figure 2-3. GRT 10 Mounting

 Remote Switches Installation of rocker switches should be made on a flat surface and located at a convenient location within the cabin. Each rocker switch installed must be properly marked of its function. Use of rocker switches vs. toggle switches will prevent the possibility of raising and lowering the volume at the same time or raising and lowering the channels at the same time. Wire used for discrete switches should be 24 AWG (MIL Spec M22759) and should be routed as appropriate, avoiding kinking or sharp bends. Figure 2-4 shows typical rocker switches. Channel Volume Mute Figure 2-4. Typical Rocker Switches NOTE Remote switches can be installed even if a GRT 10 is installed. GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Page 2-5 Rev.

F GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Installation Procedure 2.5 Cabling and Wiring Wiring should be installed in accordance with AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11. When wire separation cannot be achieved, the following issues should be addressed:

The cable harness should not be located near flight control cables and control, high electrical capacity lines or fuel lines

The cable harness should be located in a protected area of the aircraft

Do not route cable near high-energy sources Refer to the interconnection diagrams in Appendix D for the appropriate wiring. Once the cable assemblies have been made, attach the cable connector to the rear of the rack. Route the wiring bundle as appropriate. Avoid sharp bends. For the GDL 69/69A use 22 or 24 AWG wire for all connections except for power. Use 22 AWG for power/ground. For the GRT 10 use 22 AWG wire for all connections including power/ground. After the GDL 69/69A cable assemblies are made assemble the backshell as shown in Figure 2-7. Then install the backshell connector to the rear plate using the screws provided in the connector kit. After the rack is installed, assemble the rear plate into the rack.

 Wiring Harness Allow adequate space for installation of cables and connectors. The installer supplies and fabricates all of the cables. Except for the antenna connection, all electrical connections are made through a 78-pin D-sub

(GDL 69/69A) and 9-pin D-sub (GRT 10) connectors provided by Garmin. Construct the wiring harness according to the information contained in this and the following sections. Cable lengths will vary depending upon installation. Strip all wires going to the D-sub connectors 1/8. Insert the wire into the pin and crimp with one of the recommended (or equivalent) crimping tools. Insert the pin into the D-sub connector housing locations as specified by the interconnect drawing in Appendix D. Verify the pin is properly engaged into the connector by gently tugging on the wire. Route and secure the cable run from the GDL 69/69A and GRT 10 to the other units away from sources of electrical noise. Section 3 defines the electrical characteristics of all input and output signals. Required connectors and associated hardware are supplied with the connector kit. See Appendix D for interconnect wiring diagrams. CAUTION Check wiring connections for errors before inserting the GDL 69/69A into the rack or mounting bracket or connecting the 9-pin D-sub to the GRT 10. Incorrect wiring could cause component damage. Table 2-4.

F Installation Procedure 2.5.3.3 Shield Block Assembly Procedure The parts for the connector and backshell assembly for GRT 10 installations are listed in Table 2-9 and shown in Figure 2-9. Figure 2-9. Typical Shield Block Install onto Backshell Connector Assembly Page 2-16 Rev. F GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 1. Attach the Shield Block (2) to the backshell (1) by inserting the flathead screws (3) through the holes on the Shield Block and threading into the tapped holes on the backshell (1). (See Figure 2-9). Installation Procedure Figure 2-10. Shielded Cable Preparation 2. At the end of the shielded cable (4), strip back a 2 maximum length of the jacket to expose the braid. Remove this exposed braid. Carefully score the jacket 1/4 to 5/16 from the end and remove the jacket to leave the braid exposed. NOTE Solder sleeves with pre-installed shield drains may be used instead of separate shield terminators and individual wires. 3. Connect a 20 or 22 AWG wire (6) to the exposed shield of the prepared cable assembly. (See Figure 2-10). Note: AC 43.13 may be a helpful reference for termination techniques. NOTE Solder Sleeves with pre-installed lead: A preferred solder sleeve is the Raychem S03 Series with the thermochromic temperature indicator. These solder sleeves come with a pre-installed lead and effectively take the place of items 5 and 6. For detailed instructions on product use, refer to Raychem installation procedure. 4. Slide a shield terminator (5) onto the prepared cable assembly (4) and connect the wire (6) to the shield using a heat gun approved for use with solder sleeves. The chosen size of solder sleeve must accommodate both the number of conductors present in the cable and the wire (6) to be attached. 5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 as needed for the remaining shielded cables. NOTE Each tapped hole on the Shield Block (2) may accommodate only two ring terminals (8). It is preferred that a maximum of two Wires (6) be terminated per ring terminal. Two Wires per ring terminal will necessitate the use of a Ring terminal, #8, insulated, 14-16 AWG (MS25036-153). If only a single Wire is left or if only a single Wire is need for this connector a Ring terminal, #8, insulated, 18-22 AWG (MS25036-149) can accommodate this single wire. If more wires exist for the connector than two per ring terminal, it is permissible to terminate three wires per ring terminal. 6. Terminate the ring terminals to the Shield Block (2) by placing items on the Pan Head Screw (9) in the following order: Split Washer (10), Flat Washer (11), first Ring Terminal, second Ring Terminal if needed, before finally inserting the screw into the tapped holes on the Shield Block. 7. Wrap the cable bundle with Silicone Fusion Tape (12) (GPN: 249-00114-00 or a similar version) at the point where the backshell strain relief and cast housing will contact the cable bundle. GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Page 2-17 Rev. F Installation Procedure three screws (14). 8. Place the smooth side of the backshell strain relief (13) across the cable bundle and secure using the WARNING Placing the grooved side of the strain relief across the cable bundle may damage wires. 9. Attach the cover (15) to the backshell (1) using two screws (16).

 Audio Suppression XM Audio Entertainment to crew locations may require audio suppression to comply with the STC Limitations. Determine the activation state for each horn installed in the aircraft (aircraft power signifying active high or ground signifying active low) by using one of the following methods:

Find the horn and compare the installation with Figure D-5.

Activate the horn per the method described in the aircrafts maintenance manual. (For the gear horn, this may require having the aircraft raised on jacks).

With a multimeter, determine which horn contact changes state with the activation signal and if the active state is high or low. Wire the appropriate audio suppression input (high or low) in accordance with Figure D-5.

 Remote Discrete Switches (Optional) If XM audio entertainment is installed in the aircraft, optional functional switches may be installed as desired even if a GRT 10 is installed. The functions of the switches must include the ability to mute the audio, adjust the volume and channels. It may be incorporated as desired depending on the installation. Figure D-1 and Figure D-2 detail the wiring for the optional discrete switches. A common aircraft ground signal may be used for each switch. It is recommended to use a rocker type switch for channel and volume control. Using a rocker type switch will prevent inadvertently raising and lowering the channel at the same time as well as the volume. An acceptable switch for this installation of the remote discrete switches is Carlingswitch P/N 62111281-0-0-N (62111231-0-0-N for the switch used for muting). Since the input signals are active-low it is permissible to use multiple switches for each function. This would allow volume and channel control to be available at each passenger station. The GDL 69/69As 15 preset channels (favorites) can be sequenced using the audio channel control input. On power up, the GDL 69A reads the state of the audio channel control input. When this discrete is active (low), the Channel Up and Channel Down inputs will function as Preset Up and Preset Down, respectively. Page 2-18 Rev. F GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Installation Procedure 2.6 XM Antenna For use with the GDL 69/69A, the GA 37, GA 55, GA 55A, and GA 57 antennas are an XM Satellite Radio antenna operating within a frequency range of 2332-2345 MHz for general aviation. NOTE Depending on specific installations, the installer may want to use a different make/model of XM Satellite Radio antenna. (An alternate antenna may be used providing it meets the minimum requirements shown in Table 1-10). It is the installers responsibility to ensure that their choice of antenna meets FAA certification standards according to the specific installation. This installation manual discusses only the antennas listed in Table 1-9, which are used during STC certification by Garmin. Other antennas may be acceptable but their installation is not covered by this manual and is outside the scope of the data approved in the GDL 69/69A STC. 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.

 Antenna Mounting For installation mounting of the XM antenna listed in Table 1-9, use Garmin GA Antenna AML STC number SA01695SE. Verify aircraft model is listed on the AML and follow limitations defined in that STC data.


Antenna Grounding NOTE Improper grounding of the antenna is typically the primary cause of reduced signal reception quality. It is very important to have good conductivity between the coaxial shield and the ground plane. This is ensured when all the fasteners properly ground the antenna base to the skin of the aircraft. The resistance between the antenna and the skin of the aircraft should be less than 10 milliohms. GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Page 2-19 Rev. F Installation Procedure

 XM Antenna Location As with any antenna installation, keep the following points in mind:

1. The XM Satellite signal is a line-of-sight signal. Locating antennas too close to obstructions such as the vertical stabilizer will limit the reception of the satellite signal. 2. Maintain about three feet from heater, ignition, autopilot, and other control surface actuators and motors. Maintain about five feet from fluorescent lamps, related ballast, air conditioners, blowers, strobe lights and power supplies. 3. The minimum distances to be observed when selecting an antenna location are as follows:

1.25 inches from any passive (receive only) antenna such as a GPS or another XM.

5 inches from a VHF active antenna such as COM or ACARS.

5 inches from an active radar altimeter (4 GHz).

12 inches from a UHF / Microwave transmitting antenna such as a transponder, DME, active TCAS, UAT, SATCOM, or Flitephone. 4. The XM antenna must be mounted on top of the aircraft for greatest satellite visibility. For best performance, select a location with an unobstructed view of the sky above the aircraft when in level flight. Location of communication antennas too close to the XM antenna may not only degrade the transmission through reflection, but can also absorb and re-radiate the transmission causing a condition similar to having two COM antennas located in close proximity to each other. Figure 2-11. Antenna Installation Location Page 2-20 Rev. F GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Installation Procedure

 XM Radio Antenna to Receiver Signal Requirements The XM Radio Receiver used in the GDL 69/69A has a system signal requirement of 20dB +/- 1dB gain from the input of the antenna to the input of the XM receiver internal to the GDL 69/69A. To insure the proper operation and optimum performance of the GDL 69/69A, the installation must meet the requirements specified in Table 1-10, and the installer must account for the signal gain and loss factors that exist between the antenna and the XM receiver. The gain/loss factors that need to be accounted for are shown in Figure 2-12. The GDL 69/69A has the capability to internally adjust for variances in the gain/loss factors by providing additional gain or loss within the range of +6dB to -4dB. If the GDL 69/69A gain/loss factor is outside this range, additional gain or loss must be added between the antenna and the GDL 69/69A RF input. Record the gain/loss components in Table 2-11 and in the post-

installation checkout sheet located at the end of Section 4. The variable attenuation value required to attain the GDL 69/69A gain/loss component will be programmed into the configuration module during post installation checkout.

(3) antennas, see manufacturers specifications. If 12-16ft of RG-400/U cable is used, a value of 4.5dB can be used. See Section 2.6.4.1 for explanation of calculation. If an antenna with increased gain is installed (antenna other than the Garmin antennas listed in Table 1-9), additional cable length may be required to be coiled to compensate for the required cable loss. Alternately, an external attenuator may be used to obtain the desired antenna cable loss. However, installation of the external attenuator is beyond the scope of this STC. Additional manufacturers data may be necessary and FAA approval may be required to cover the installation of an external attenuator.

(4) The GDL 69/69A Gain/Loss component must be between +6dB and -4dB. If the GDL 69/69A gain/loss component is outside this range, additional gain or loss must be added between the antenna and the GDL 69/69A RF input. The factory default setting for the internal GDL 69/69A component is -0.5dB. The variable attenuation value required to attain the GDL 69/69A gain/loss component will be programmed into the configuration module during post installation checkout. See Section 2.6.4.2 for explanation of calculation. 2.6.4.1 Determining Antenna Cable Loss Value The GDL 69/69A is factory preset with a default cable loss value of 4.5 dB, which is equivalent to 12 to 16 feet of RG-400/U cable with two properly terminated TNC connectors. If the installed antenna cable is within this length, use this value in Table 2-11. If the cable is different from the default cable, use the following formula to determine the cable loss value to use in Table 2-11. Loss in dB = (Length x Loss) + (0.5 x #Connectors) 100 Where:

Length Cable length in feet Loss Specified cable loss per 100 feet at 2332-2345 MHz Connectors Number of connectors on cable For example:

If an RG-400 coax cable is 10 feet long with 2 TNC connectors, the cable loss component is Loss = (10 x 26.1) + (0.5 x 2) = 3.61 dB 100 Page 2-22 Rev. F GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Installation Procedure 2.6.4.2 Determining GDL 69/69A Gain/Loss Component Value The GDL 69/69A has a zero to 10dB variable attenuator that is used to balance the gain/loss component between its RF input and internal XM Receiver. The gain/loss components can be adjusted between +6dB and -4dB to balance the Antenna input to XM receiver 20dB gain requirement as specified for the XM system. The Gain/Loss component is factory preset with a default value of -0.5 dB. Using the Signal Gain Equation shown in Figure 2-9 and solving for the GDL 69/69A component the equation becomes GLcomp in dB = XMgain Antenna + Cable Where:

GLcomp GDL 69/69A Gain/Loss Component XMgain XM specified gain from antenna input to XM receiver input (20dB) Antenna Antenna Gain Cable Cable Loss Example:

If the cable loss calculated in the previous example is used, the GDL 69/69A GLcomp component is:

GLcomp

= 20dB - 25dB + 3.61dB

= -5dB + 3.61dB

= - 1.39dB The GDL 69/69A gain/loss component will be programmed into the configuration module during post installation checkout.

 Coaxial Cable Installation 1. Choose the correct coax: RG-400/U has good characteristics for loss, size, and flexibility. NOTE The cable loss of the antenna cable is critical to the performance of the GDL 69/69A operation. To accommodate this, the GDL 69/69A has the ability to be configured for the amount of antenna cable loss. To reduce the need to configure the GDL 69/69A for cable loss, the GDL 69/69A is factory-preset with a cable loss of 4.5 dB, which is equivalent to 12 to 16 feet of RG-400/U with two properly terminated TNC connectors. If the cable loss is different than the default value, the cable loss must be calculated or measured and the loss value programmed into the GDL 69s configuration module. Refer to Section 4.2 for additional information on determining antenna cable loss value and how to program the configuration module. NOTE To avoid programming the configuration module, use a coax cable length that is within the factory default cable loss value (refer to Section 2.6.4.1). When using the default cable loss value, additional cable after routing through the aircraft may be coiled and secured as needed. Do not coil the cable tighter than a one foot diameter. 2. Trim the coaxial cable to the desired length and install TNC connectors at each end per the cabling instructions listed in Figure 2-13. For routing convenience, one end of the coaxial run can be terminated prior to installation. 3. With the GDL 69/69A receiver and antenna installed, route and clamp the coaxial cable in position. Secure cable in accordance with AC 43.13-1B, Chapter 11. GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Page 2-23 Rev. F Installation Procedure 2.7 Weight and Balance Weight and balance computation is required after the installation of the GDL 69/69A and optional GRT 10.

TNC Connector Installation 2.9 Cooling Air The GDL 69/69A and optional GRT 10 do not require cooling air and do not generate an excessive amount of heat during typical operations; however the thermal characteristics of the installation should always be assessed. An undesirable thermal condition could be created due to the units own internal power dissipation combined with restricted ventilation, or due to heat generated by adjacent equipment. Limiting thermal build up, by means of fan or natural convection is always a good practice and recommended to increase the product life. GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Page 2-25 Rev.

F System Interconnects This Page Intentionally Left Blank Page 3-8 Rev. F GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 System Configuration/Checkout 4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND CHECKOUT Once the GDL 69/69A and optional GRT 10 have been installed, configure the units for the particular installation and then complete the checkout procedures herein to verify proper operation. The steps that are not applicable to a particular installation may be ignored. A checkout log sheet is included at the end of this section. It is to be filled out during the checkout procedure. The completed checkout log sheet(s) should be maintained with the aircraft permanent records. 4.1 Post Installation Power Check Move the aircraft outside and ensure that there is an unobstructed view of the Southern sky. Attach a ground power cart to the external power connector on the aircraft and apply power. NOTE Use of an external power cart is optional in order to prevent the aircraft battery from discharging to a critically low level. Power on all systems and allow two to four minutes for initialization. Verify that the control/display unit and the audio panel are connected and operating properly. Ensure the circuit breaker for the GDL 69/69A and GRT 10 (if installed) is closed and the Remote Power Discrete (if wired), is enabled. 4.2 Configure RS-232 Port For installations with the MX20 or GMX 200, refer to the corresponding installation manual for configuring the correct RS-232 port of the MX20 or GMX 200 that the GDL 69/69A is connected. For installations with the 400/500 and 400W/500W series units, refer to the 400/500 Series Pilots Guide Addendum or the 400W/500W Series Pilots Guides for configuring the correct RS-232 port of the 400/500 or 400W/500W series unit that the GDL 69/69A is connected. 4.3 Configure Ethernet Port For installations with the GDU 104x, refer to the GDU 104x installation manual, P/N 190-00303-01, for configuring the GDL 69/69A Ethernet ports. 4.4 Initialization of Configuration Module The GDL 69/69A requires aircraft installation information to be stored in the configuration module. For GMX 200, MX20, 400/500 Series units, and 400W/500W Series units the configuration module is installed in the back panel connector backshell assembly and the only parameter stored in the configuration module is the variable attenuator value needed to obtain the required GDL 69/69A gain/loss component. For installations with the GDU 104x, the configuration information is stored with the G1000 avionics system, therefore the configuration module is not installed in the GDL 69/69A connector backshell. For installations with the G1000 avionics system, the configuration information contains the variable attenuator value and may contain several other parameters. NOTE The GDL 69/69A does not provide proper operation until the configuration initialization procedure is completed.


 Configuration Module Procedure for Installation with MX20 and GMX 200 Refer to the latest revision of the MX20 or GMX 200 Installation Manual (Garmin AT Part Number 560-

1025-( ) and 190-00607-04) for instructions. GDL 69/69A Installation Manual 190-00355-02 Page 4-1 Rev. F System Configuration/Checkout


 Configuration Module Procedure for Installation with 400/500 and 400W/500W Series Perform the following steps to program the configuration module of the GDL 69/69A when using the 400/500 Series or 400W/500W Series as the control and display unit:

1. Power up the 400/500 or 400W/500W in Configuration Mode (refer to the 400/500 or 400W/500W Install Manual for instructions) 2. Go to GDL CONFIG Page 3. Enter in the Attenuation value, which is computed as in the following formula:

Attenuation = ( 6 GLcomp )*10 GLcomp = GDL 69/69A gain/loss component value from Table 2-11. Example: If GLcomp from Table 2-11 is -1.39dB (calculated from example in Section 2.6.4.2) than;

Attenuation = (6 - (-1.39))*10

= (6+1.39)* 10 Attenuation = 7.39 * 10 = 73.9 rounded up 74 to enter in the 400/500 Series or 400W/500W Series. NOTE If attenuation from the above calculation is < zero or > 100 then the gain/loss compensation is outside the range required for proper operation. Review Section 2.6.4.2 for appropriate corrective action.
