  • Page 16: Gdl 5X/5Xr Installation Guidance For Best Wireless Performance

    2.5 GDL 5X/5XR Installation Guidance for Best Wireless Performance The GDL 5X/5XR products can use Bluetooth wireless technology to create Connext® connections to display devices. For optimal wireless performance ensure that the unit has an unobstructed view of the Connext enabled devices. GDL 5XR mounting location will vary for each installation depending on aircraft body type (metal or fiberglass) and the surrounding structures/equipment.

  • Page 17: Cabling And Wiring

    The GDL 5XR Connext wireless antenna is located on the front face of the unit as shown in the red rectangle in Figure 2-2 below. Figure 2-2 GDL 5XR Connext Antenna Location Do not install the GDL 5XR in a metal box or beneath a floor panel, as this will attenuate (decrease) the wireless signal.

  • Page 20: Updating Software

    2.10 Updating Software Software updates for the GDL 5X/5XR can be received through your Garmin display device. See the display device documentation for details. The GDL 5X (but not the GDL 5XR) products can also use WebUpdater to receive SW updates. To use WebUpdater, connect the GDL 5X to an internet connected computer via a Micro-USB cable and follow the instructions at www.garmin.com/webupdater.

  • Page 21: Noise

    2.11 Noise To reduce noise on the audio lines, care must be taken to minimize effects from coupled interference and ground loops. Coupled interference can sneak into audio system interconnecting cables when they are routed near large AC electric fields, AC voltage sources, and pulse equipment (strobes, spark plugs, magnetos, EL displays, CRTs, etc).

  • Page 22: 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 23: Backshell Assembly

    3.3 Backshell Assembly Garmin’s backshell gives the installer the ability to easily terminate shield grounds at the backshell housing using the Shield Block. To assemble the backshell, refer to the Jackscrew Backshell Installation Instructions in the G3X/G3X Touch Installation Manual (190-01115-01).

  • Page 24: Antenna Installation

    GDL 5X/5XR can receive GPS information with any connected aera or GDU 4XX display. A GPS antenna is not required to be connected to a GDL 5XR when the unit is connected to a Garmin Aera 660/795/796 or GDU 4XX display. For best performance, mount the GPS, SiriusXM antennas on top of the aircraft and at least 3.3 feet away from all high power transmitting antennas.

  • Page 25: Non-Garmin Antennas

    3.8 Non-Garmin Antennas Table 3-5 lists non-Garmin antennas currently supported by the GDL 5X/5XR. For non-Garmin antennas, follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that their choice of antenna meets FAA standards according to the specific installation.
