Lightning Strike Protection The following modifications to the aircraft provide additional protection of G1000 equipment from the effects of lightning strike. 2.5.1 Alternator / Battery Voltage Suppressors & Fuses Two Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are installed behind the instrument panel near the circuit .
2.5.2 GIA / AHRS Lightning Protection The GRS 77 and both GIA 63s are uniquely protected from the effects of lightning. A 0.499Ω resistor, a transient voltage suppressor, and a 3.2 Amp slow-blow fuse are used for each GIA and the AHRS. These components are installed on a field-fabricated aluminum block, which is mounted to the front of the remote avionics enclosure (see Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-10).
Page 27
2.5.3 Lightning Strike Maintenance Proper electrical bonding of all metallic components is critical for the protection against the effects of lighting. Severe corrosion may inhibit a component’s ability to bond to the aircraft’s electrical ground plane. The following summarizes maintenance practices which are implemented to maintain adequate lightning protection for the aircraft.
SPIDER Grounds Most G1000 connectors employ a SPIDER grounding system to provide necessary ground reference to shielding and/or transducers. A single 16-gauge wire is connected locally to the airframe. Additional ‘spider’ wires, 24-gauge, are used to connect shield grounds. The assembly is fastened directly to the backshell housing with two screws.

The G1000/DA 40 SW Loader Card part number defines all files specific to the G1000 system as installed in the DA 40. Refer to Appendix A for approved card part numbers. Approved Loader Card part numbers for the DA 40 can also be found in the Required Equipment List, Garmin P/N 005-00149-28.
Page 44
3.4.2 Configuration Files A G1000/DA 40 SW Loader Card typically contains the following configuration files: AIRFRAME: This file contains data such as airspeed parameters, engine/airframe sensor • limitations, fuel tank parameters and alerting system settings that tailor a G1000 PFD or MFD to the DA 40.
3.4.3 Configuration File Storage The G1000 system is designed to store all configuration settings in various places so that the configuration is retained in the aircraft during maintenance of units. Figure 3-7 and Figure 3-8 illustrate where the various configuration files are stored. Figure 3-7.
The GRS 77 and GDC 74A configuration modules function differently than the rest of the system. The GDC 74A’s configuration file is loaded directly to GDC internal memory. A copy of the file is stored in the GDC configuration module. The GRS 77 configuration module does not store any configuration settings.
In the first example shown in Figure 3-9, the SET columns do not match the ACTIVE columns. The inequality between SET and ACTIVE indicates a configuration mismatch. By pressing the SET>ACTV softkey, this copies the SET column to the LRU unit’s configuration memory. The settings then become the ACTIVE settings for the LRU being configured.
When troubleshooting the system, technicians can look for inequalities between SET and ACTIVE columns. Certain problems can be resolved simply by pressing the SET>ACTV softkey, which reloads settings to the specific LRU from the PFD. (Note that this can also be accomplished by reloading the configuration files for the LRU, using the G1000 SW Loader Card.
Using the FMS knob as described in Section 3.1.1 a user can navigate through different pages and page groups in the Configuration Mode. For complete description and breakdown of each page, refer to the G1000 Configuration manual, Garmin part number 190-00303-04. The following diagram shows the layout and organization of Configuration Mode page groups and pages.
