Post Installation Configuration & Checkout - Garmin GIA 63 Installation Manual

Installation instructions for the GIA 63(H)
For installation and assembly, refer to the outline and installation drawings shown in Appendix B of this
manual.
1. Assemble the backshell connectors, refer to Section 3.5.
2. Connect backshell connectors to the rear plate using the provided screws.
3. Mount the unit rack to a suitable mounting location, using appropriate hardware from Section
2.1.3 for the helicopter rack.
4. Assemble the NAV and Main rear plates into the GIA 63H unit rack.
5. Carefully place the GIA 63H onto the rack, making sure that the mounting hardware on the bottom
of the unit closest to the connectors clears the first set of spring pins on the rack. Once the unit is
placed on the rack, slide the unit into the rack until the install screw makes contact. The unit can
only be installed in one direction.
6. Using a Hex Driver, tighten the unit into the rack via the install screw. Tighten the screw to the
torque specified in Appendix B.
CAUTION
Do not use excessive force when inserting the GIA 63H into the rack. This may cause
damage to the connectors, unit and/or unit rack. If excessive resistance is felt during
installation, stop! Remove the GIA 63H and identify the source of resistance. The rear
plates are designed to float in the unit rack. Check to ensure the rear plates are not bound
by the connectors or spring clip.
NOTE
The install screw is designed with a ratcheting socket that resists turning
counterclockwise, unless pushed in. This ensures that the engagement screw cannot loosen
under vibration.
