    Good aircraft electrical/charging system ground bonding is also important. The wiring diagrams and accompanying notes in this manual should be followed closely to minimize noise effects. 190-00917-01 GMA 240 Installation Manual Rev. D Page 2-5...
  • Page 20: Gma 240 Mounting

    The GMA 240 mounting surface must be capable of providing structural support and electrical bond to the aircraft to minimize radiated EMI and provide protection from High-Intensity Radiation Fields (HIRF). The GMA 240 is mounted using a GMA 340 unit rack. Figure 2-3 shows the GMA 340 unit rack. See Section 3.4 for installation instructions.
  • Page 21: Section 3 Installation Procedure

    If the unit 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.
  • Page 22: Audio Shield Termination

    CAUTION Do not use excessive force when inserting the GMA 240 into the rack. This may damage the connectors, unit, and/or unit rack. If heavy resistance is felt during installation, stop, and remove the GMA 240 and identify the source of resistance.
  • Page 23: Post Installation Checkout

    Post Installation Checkout CAUTION Check wiring connections for errors before inserting the GMA 240 into the rack. Incorrect wiring could cause internal component damage. An in-aircraft checkout may be performed in the aircraft on the ramp with known good microphone, headset, and avionics receivers.
  • Page 24: Configuration Adjustments

    This completes the in-aircraft post installation checkout. Perform a flight test after installing the unit to ensure satisfactory performance of the audio functions. 3.6 Configuration Adjustments Adjustment to the Volume and Squelch settings can be made to the GMA 240 through access holes in the unit's top cover. Refer to Section 2.3 for details.
