Post Installation Configuration and Checkout

The GTX 32 Transponder will not provide valid outputs until the aircraft
post installation configuration procedures are completed.
3.7.1 Configuration
When installed as part of a Garmin Integrated Flight Deck, the GTX 32 transponder must have FAA
approved configuration data. Configuration data is loaded to the GTX 32 from an aircraft-specific SW
Loader Card. Transponder settings are predetermined for a specific aircraft and are typically contained
within the file named 'GTX1'.
The GDU PFD serves as the graphics user interface to the installer configuring the system. For basic
configuration information, refer to the G1000 Line Maintenance and Configuration Manual, Garmin part
number 190-00303-04. For actual aircraft installation/checkout, use only aircraft manufacturer approved
checkout procedures.
Verify proper operation of the transponder by testing in accordance with Appendix F to 14 CFR Part 43 –
ATC Transponder Tests and Inspections.
For transponder installations operating with a Garmin GNS 480 (CNX80) system refer to GNS 480
(CNX80) Installation Manual 560-0982-01 for configuration procedures and operation checks.
For transponder installations operating with a Garmin GDL 90 system refer to GDL 90 Installation
Manual 560-1049-02 for configuration procedures and operation checks.
3.7.2 Interference Check
Turn on and verify operation of all avionics equipment except GTX 32. Then power GTX 32 on and
verify there is no interference with any other equipment in the aircraft. The operation/performance
checks should be made with all other avionics turned on. Verify that there is no interference during any
mode of transponder operation.
