Installation Procedure
2.5.3 Configuration Module Installation
The GDL 69/69A connector kit includes one Garmin backshell assembly. The backshell assembly houses
the configuration module. Garmin's backshell also gives the installer the ability to easily terminate shield
grounds at the backshell housing using the Spider grounding kit. Refer to Figure 2-6 for details and item
numbers referenced below.

from each wire prior to crimping.
2. Insert newly crimped pins and wires (3, 4) into the appropriate connector housing (5) location as
specified by the interconnect drawings in Appendix D.
3. Apply the spacer (2) by wrapping it around the PCB Board (1) making sure to insert the plastic
connector mounted on the board into the provided hole of the spacer.
4. Plug the four-conductor wire harness (3) into the connector on the PCB Board (1).
5. Insert into the backshell (6) recess, PCB Board (1) with pad (2) in position.
