Backup GPS Antenna The GI 275 has an internal VFR GPS receiver that may be used as a primary GPS source for VFR navigation only or as a backup GPS. If the backup GPS antenna is installed, the internal VFR GPS is automatically used when the primary GPS source is unavailable.
The GTP 59 is a remotely mounted temperature probe that interfaces to the internal ADC for OAT display and computations. The GTP 59 is mounted externally on the rotorcraft and is powered from the GI 275. Figure 2-6 GTP 59 Outside Air Temperature Probe...
Backup Battery The backup battery is a lithium-ion battery that is required when installing the GI 275 as a standby or when the GI 275 is installed as the Primary Flight Indicator, replacing airspeed, altitude, and attitude if there is no alternate source of altitude (mechanical or electronic with an independent power supply).
3.2 Servicing Information There are no servicing requirements for the GI 275 system. In the event of a system or LRU failure, troubleshoot the GI 275 system in accordance with Section 4. 3.2.1 Periodic Maintenance Instructions The GI 275 system is designed to detect internal failures. A thorough self-test is executed automatically upon application of power to the unit, and built-in tests are continuously executed while the LRUs are operating.
Dealer Resource Center or by contacting Garmin. Every 2000 flight Electrical Bonding Perform an electrical bonding check of the GI 275 system hours or 10 years, Check LRUs in accordance with Section 3.5. whichever comes first Interval must be in Test according to 14 CFR §43 Appendix E.
3.4 Visual Inspection Operation of the GI 275 system is not permitted unless an inspection, as described in this section, has been completed within the preceding 12 calendar months. Conduct the following visual inspection of the GI 275 system LRUs and associated wiring harnesses to ensure installation integrity: 1.
3.5.1 Electrical Bonding Maintenance Check GI 275 LRU electrical bonding must be checked every 2,000 flight hours or 10 years, whichever occurs first. During the check, any cables normally attached to the LRU must be disconnected from the LRU. Resistance must be measured from a bare metal portion of the LRU to an airframe grounding location. The airframe grounding location should be as close to the LRU as possible, unless otherwise noted in Table 3-2.
5. Install bonding aluminum tape or equipment at grounding location. 6. After the bond is complete, if any films or coatings were removed from the surface, re-apply a suitable film or coating to the surrounding area. 190-02246-C2 GI 275 Part 27 AML STC Maintenance Manual Rev. 3 Page 3-7...
The system does not require overhaul at a specific time period. Power on self-test and continuous BIT will monitor the health of the GI 275 system. If any LRU indicates an internal failure, the unit may be removed and replaced. Refer to Section 4 of this document for fault corrective actions.
GSB 15 ............................4-7 Troubleshooting Flow Charts ......................4-8 This section provides information to assist troubleshooting if fault codes are displayed on the GI 275 or problems occur after completing system maintenance. Refer to Appendix A of this document retained in the rotorcraft permanent records for a list of the interfaced equipment and system configuration data. When troubleshooting the GI 275 system, refer to wire routing drawings and interconnect diagrams retained in Appendix A of this document or with the rotorcraft’s permanent records.

Refer to Section 4.2 for the connectors and pin functions for GI 275 system LRUs. Before performing any maintenance on the GI 275 system, all information in Appendix A must be filled out. It is highly recommended to save the system configuration to a USB drive and print the configuration log before replacing any system LRUs.
3. If removed, seal the 1/8-27-NPT male thread fittings with MIL-S-15204 Sealing Compound (Type A or B) and connect the pitot-static lines to the unit. 4. Connect the backshell wiring connector(s) to the back of the GI 275 and tighten the retaining screws.
System ID will change and must be updated on the associated flyGarmin.com account to re- enable purchased feature enablements on the system. Replace the GI 275 configuration module using the following procedure: 1. Save the current configuration in accordance with the instructions in Section 2.3.7.
For maximum battery longevity, store within a temperature range of -4°F to 68°F (-20°C to 20°C). The GI 275 battery should be kept partially charged when unused for longer periods of time and should not be stored when completely discharged. Charge the battery to 30% within 1 year of receipt and recharge to 30% every 2 years thereafter if the GI 275 is not in use.
NOTE If reusing the original mounting screws, the anti-rotation properties of the mounting screws must be restored. This may be done by replacing the screws with new Garmin P/N 211-60037-08. If original screws are reused, coat screw threads with MIL-S-46163 Type II Grade N thread locking compound.
GTP 59 Removal Remove the GTP 59 using the following procedure: 1. Remove power from the GI 275 that is directly interfaced to the GTP 59. 2. Remove the mounting nut shown in Figure 5-5. 3. Remove the GTP 59 from the hole.
Remove the GSB 15 using the following procedure: CAUTION The GSB 15 Decorative Cover is only intended for a single installation. The cover may be damaged during removal. A damaged cover should not be re-installed. Contact Garmin to order a replacement. 1. Disconnect the GSB 15 connector.
Backup GPS Antenna Removal Use the following procedure to remove the Backup GPS antenna: 1. Remove power from the GI 275 connected to the Backup GPS antenna. 2. Disengage the BNC connector from the GI 275. 3. Remove the two screws securing the antenna (if installed per Figure 5-9 only).
Magnetometer Calibration Procedure. A rotorcraft equipped with a GI 275 can be used to evaluate a candidate site for magnetic disturbances and determine whether it is a suitable location to perform the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure. The Magnetometer Calibration Procedure itself contains the logic to simultaneously survey the location for magnetic cleanliness while it is computing the magnetometer calibration parameters.
Page 78
5.7.1.3 Calibrate Pitch/Roll Offset This procedure must be completed on each GI 275 with an integrated ADAHRS. This procedure can be conducted for each AHRS simultaneously on each display. The rotorcraft must be leveled to within 0.25° of zero pitch and zero roll using the procedures in the rotorcraft maintenance manual or RFM/POH. The following procedures must be completed with the engine off: 1.
Page 79
7. Touch Done when the test sequence is completed. The GI 275 will display a test Pass or Fail, the worst-case percentage of magnetic interference, and the time stamp at which it occurred.

5.7.2 Analog NAV Calibration If a Composite NAV connection is interfaced to a GI 275, the displays must be calibrated to each individual NAV radio using the following procedure: 1. Power on the GI 275 in Configuration mode and then power on NAV1.
8. The GI 275 will power off automatically when the test is completed. 9. Power on the GI 275(s) in Configuration mode and navigate to the Backup Battery Test page. 10. Touch the Test Results button and then Rundown Test Results button.
5.8 Uploading Software The SW/Config page is used to update the software for the GI 275 and any LRUs directly interfaced to the GI 275. The approved software version and part numbers can be found in the most recent revision of GI 275 Part 27 AML STC Equipment List (P/N 005-01208-C3).
5.9 System Checks Periodic system checks that do not require a Garmin dealer to perform are contained in this section. 5.9.1 Configuration Ground Check The configuration ground check procedures are intended to verify that each LRU and interface in the GI 275 system has been properly configured.
30 minutes may be required if the environmental temperature is below 0º C. The GI 275 airspeed tape display and settings must be verified using the procedures in Section 5.9.2.1 or Section 5.9.2.2 depending on the airspeed tape configuration (Basic or Advanced, respectively). The airspeeds referenced in the following steps must match those shown in the printed configuration log.
1. Power on the GI 275 system in Normal mode. 2. Using a pitot-static test set, increase the airspeed until the ADI airspeed tape pointer is at the bottom of the white band.
