A.1 WIRING

Wiring should be installed in accordance with AC 43.13-1B Chapter 11, and the following: • Ensure that routing of the wiring does not come in contact with sources of heat, RF or EMI interference• Avoid routing cables near power sources (e.g., 400 Hz generators, trim motors, etc.) or near power for fluorescent

lighting• Avoid sharp bends in wiring and routing near aircraft control cables• Keep wiring as short and direct as practical• Use 22 to 24 AWG wire for all data connections* *the 010-10082-00 power/data cable uses 18 AWG for the Power (red) connection

For dual unit installations, care should be taken to ensure separation between wires of redundant systems to reduce the possibility of loss of navigation due to a single event. When wire separation cannot be achieved, the fol-lowing issues should be addressed:

• It should not be possible for a wiring harness to be exposed to wire chafing in a manner that both GPS units fail simultaneously

• The wiring harness should not be located near flight control cables and controls, high electrical capacity lines, or fuel lines

• The wiring harness should be located in a protected area of the aircraft (e.g., isolated from engine rotor burst)• Do not route cable near high-energy sources

A.2 PORTABLE UNITS

GPSMAP 296/396/496 UNITSThe power/data cable (010-10513-00) connects the GPSMAP 296/396/496 to an 11–35 VDC system and provides

Look at the bottom of the transponder and make sure that the front lobe of the locking mechanism is in a vertical position. The locking mechanism can be adjusted by inserting a 3/32 inch hex wrench through the hole in the unit’s face plate. Slide the unit into the rack until the front lobe of the unit touches the rack. Use the hex wrench to turn the locking mechanism clockwise until the unit is secured in the rack. Continue turning until tight, but do not overtighten the screw.

To remove the unit from the rack, turn the hex wrench counterclockwise until it disengages from the rack.



SL40 COM & SL30 NAV/COMM RADIOSThe SL30 & SL40 units include an RS-232 serial port for making optional connections. The serial port can be

used to input active and standby frequencies, and is used to input frequencies from a remote source. When making connections to the serial port, use a two-conductor shielded cable. Make RxD1 and Serial Ground connections to the rear connector (see following figures). Connect the shield to the rear of the mounting frame on the connector plate. The shield leads must be <1.25 inches.

A crimp tool meeting MIL specification M22520/1-01 and a positioner/locater are required to ensure consistent, reliable crimp contact connections for the rear connector. Two sources of these tools and the tool numbers are listed below.

Before inserting the unit, position the cam lock as shown in the figure below. The front lobe of the cam should be vertical, and the cam lock mechanism should be fully unscrewed (turned counterclockwise). Slide the unit into the frame. Turn (clockwise) and carefully hand-tighten (4 in-lbs max.) the cam lock mechanism using only the 3/32 inch hex driver provided in the installation package. When fully engaged, the unit will be pulled into the frame securing the unit and the connectors. The back of the bezel must be flush to the mounting tube. Do NOT overtighten. If the cam lock is hard to turn or the unit does not fully seat, the unit is probably binding and the mounting tube should be checked.

NOTE: Using a larger hex tool than the one provided could result in easily exceeding the allowable torque on the cam lock and damaging the unit.

Cam Lock Position

To remove the unit from the mounting frame, turn the screw counterclockwise with the hex driver to unscrew the cam lock mechanism. The unit will begin to pull away from the frame. Turn the screw until slight resistance is felt and then pull the unit from frame. Do not exert excessive turning force at the end of the cam lock travel or the unit may be damaged. With the cam lock fully disengaged, pull the unit straight out while holding onto the sides of the bezel. Do not pull the unit out by the rotary knobs. No special extraction tools are required if the mounting tube is properly installed.
