Unit Installation - Garmin G3X Installation Manual

9.5 Unit Installation

Fabrication of a wiring harness is required. Sound mechanical and electrical methods and practices should
be used for installation of the GSA 28. Refer to
for pinouts.
Connector kits include backshell assemblies. 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
9.5.1 Pinouts
See Section 15.6 for pinout information.
9.5.2 Mounting Requirements
WARNING
It is vital to ensure the autopilot servo and aircraft control linkage is free to move
throughout its entire range of travel without binding or interference. Failure to ensure
adequate clearance between the moving parts of the control system linkage and nearby
structure could result in serious injury or death. If any control system binding or
interference is detected during installation or preflight inspection, it must be corrected
before flight.
9.5.2.1 Optional attachments
The GSA 28 is supplied from the factory with a standard crank arm attachment
Figure 9-6.2, and Figure
roll kit and a capstan attachment available in the 011-02952-02 Capstan Kit. If one of these optional
attachments will be used, it is up to the installer to remove the standard crank arm and replace it with the
optional attachment. When removing the standard arm, keep the castle nut, lock washer, and flat washer as
these items will need to be re-used with the optional attachment. Discard cotter pin that was removed from
the GSA 28 and replace with pin provided with optional attachment. Refer to
6.4 for more details and instructions for tightening the castle nut.
WARNING
Cotter pins supplied with GSA 28 are only intended for one time use. If removed from GSA
28 discard and use new cotter pin.
