AGMA 350/350H HARDWARE MOD LEVEL HISTORY The following table identifies hardware modification (Mod) Levels for the GMA 350/350H Audio Panel. Mod Levels are listed with the associated service bulletin number, service bulletin date, and the purpose of the modification. The table is current at the time of publication of this manual (see date on front cover) and is subject to change without notice.
This manual is intended to provide mechanical and electrical information for use in the planning and design of an installation of the GMA 350/350H into an aircraft. This manual is not a substitute for an approved airframe-specific maintenance manual, installation design drawing, or complete installation data package.
The GMA 350/350H provides a speaker output that may be used as a cockpit speaker or for a PA system to address passengers. The GMA 350/350H also includes a digital recording and playback feature. The GMA 350/350H allows ICS volume adjustments for pilot, copilot, and passenger.
1.3 Technical Specifications It is the responsibility of the installing agency to obtain the latest revision of the GMA 350/350H Environmental Qualification Form.

2.5 Cooling Air The GMA 350/350H does not have provisions for attaching cooling air and does 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 unit's own internal power dissipation combined with restricted ventilation, or due to heat generated by adjacent equipment.
EMI and provide protection from High-Intensity Radiation Fields (HIRF). The GMA 350/350H is mounted using its own unit rack (Figure 2-2). Refer to Appendix B for installation drawings. The installer must provide any additional remote mounting equipment.
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. 190-01134-11 GMA 350/350c/350H/350Hc Installation Manual Rev. J Page 2-7...
