GTX 3000 Installation Manual Page 1-1190-00926-01 Revision A1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION1.1 IntroductionThis manual provides mechanical and electrical information for installing a GTX3000 as part of a Garmin Integrated Flight Deck.1.2 Equipment DescriptionThe Garmin GTX 3000 is a remote-mount Mode S and ADS-B compliant transponder suitable for installation in part 25 jets and any class of part 23 aircraft.  It implements ARINC, UF16 and DF16, and BDS(3,0) support for TCAS II operation.  The unit has high transmit power sufficient to accommodate longer (lossier) antenna cable runs in larger aircraft while still meeting TSO requirements for transmit power.  It is also designed and certified to meet DO-160 categories suitable for installation outside the pressure vessel and in aircraft where safety expectations high.  The GTX 3000 is designed to be controlled from other Garmin avionics such as a GDU or GTC.  These avionics will also typically provide (over the same connection) fundamental data the transponder needs such as pressure altitude.The Garmin GTX 3000 is a Mode A, C, and S transponder.  It is certified under TSO-C112c and ETSO-C112c.  The Mode S minimum operating performance specifications for these TSOs (“MOPS,” which are RTCA DO-181D and EUROCAE ED-73C respectively) define a labeling convention that identifies the primary characteristics of a transponder.  The GTX 3000’s label is “level 2adens, Class 2”.  This label identifies that the GTX3000 supports:• Basic data link support (level 2)• TCAS compatibility (the “a” in “adens”)• Antenna diversity operation (the “d” in “adens”)• Extended squitter (the “e” in “adens”)• Enhanced surveillance (including elementary surveillance) (the “n” in “adens”)• Surveillance identifier codes (the “s” in “adens”)• Higher minimum transmit power and reply rate (Class 1)Basic data link support: The “level” (e.g. level 2) of the transponder is an indication of what degree of data link support the transponder has.  Level 1 indicates no support.  Level 5 indicates support for sending and receiving extended length messages to multiple interrogators at the same time.  The GTX3000 is a level 2 transponder in order to support elementary and enhanced surveillance as well as TCAS-II communication.  It is not a level 3, 4, or 5 transponder because there are not common applications that use the extended length messaging these levels support.  TCAS compatibility: The GTX 3000’s TCAS compatibility consists of an ARINC 429 interface based on the ARINC 735B specification.  It is designed to be connected to a Garmin TCAS, and its primary purpose is to provide resolution advisory coordination with other TCAS-II aircraft.  Antenna diversity: The GTX 3000 implements antenna diversity because it improves air-to-air surveillance and communication, and it is required for TCAS-II operation.  The Mode S MOPS also recommends diversity for aircraft “with gross mass in ecess of 5,700 kg or a maximum cruising true airspeed capability in excess of 324 km/h (175 kt).”  Extended squitter relates to ADS-B, which is discussed in the following paragraphs.  Elementary and enhanced surveillance use the Mode S data link to provide ATC information regarding aircraft identification, TCAS information, vertical intention, track and turn, and heading and speed.  This information may be displayed on an air traffic controller’s radar display or it may be used in ground system processing for functions such as detection of level bust or early recognition of aircraft maneuvers.  Ultimately this information is made available to improve safety and capacity.  Flight in Europe has mandates for elementary surveillance on most aircraft and enhanced surveillance on some aircraft.  DRAFT
Page 1-2 GTX 3000 Installation ManualRevision A 190-00926-01Surveillance identifier (SI) codes are a set of 64 IDs that uniquely identify ground radars within a Mode S coverage area.  SI codes were a later expansion upon the original 16 ID “interrogator codes” that allows a reduction in ground station infrastructure complexity.  These 16+64 ID codes allow transponders to communicate with select ground stations when the transponder is within range of multiple ground stations.  Flight in Europe mandates a transponder support SI codes.  Class 1: The Mode S MOPS defines two classes of Mode S transponders: class1 and class 2.  Class 1 equipment has higher minimum transmit power and reply rates than class 2 equipment.  The MOPS explains that class 2 equipment is intended to be restricted to aircraft that operate below 15,000 feet altitude and have a maximum cruising true airspeed below 175 kt.  Class 1 transponders are for aircraft that operate above those speed and altitude boundaries.ADS-B transmit is the GTX3000’s other primary function.  The unit is certified to TSO-C166b and ETSO-C166a.  It is certified to meet the DO-260B MOPS.  The unit is a class B1 device per RTCA DO-260B.  This indicates the GTX3000 is transmit-only device for aircraft (vs ground vehicles or fixed objects) with a minimum of 125 watts peak pulse power and supporting the following messages:• Airborne Position• Surface Position• A/C Identification & Category• Airborne Velocity• A/C Operational Status• Extended Squitter A/C Status.1.3 Interface SummaryThe GTX 3000 provides the following interface connections via the rear connector.  See Section 4 and Appendix C for connection details.• Diversity Antenna Ports• Two bidirectional RS-232 and one bidirectional RS-422 serial connections for data and control• Eight ARINC 429 inputs and four ARINC 429 outputs supporting various ARINC protocols to maximize options for connectivity and allow redundancy • Ten (10) encoding altimeter inputs• External IDENT input• External suppression pulse input/output• Switched power output of up to 1.5 amps (for powering an encoding altimeter)• Remote power turn onDRAFT

Page 1-4 GTX 3000 Installation ManualRevision A 190-00926-011.4.2 Transponder CapabilitiesNote 1: The GTX 3000 does not source the data for extended squitter / ADS-B messages.  The GTX 3000 must receive this data from other equipment in order to provide extended squitter / ADS-B functionality.  Also, ADS-B must be configured on.Note 2: Compliance with elementary and enhanced surveillance is shown at the installation-level per AMC 20-18 and AMC20-13.  The GTX 3000 implements the technical requirements necessary of a transponder that AMC 20-18 and AMC 20-13 require, but installation of a GTX 3000 does not constitute compliance with elementary and enhanced surveillance.  Also, in order for the GTX 3000 to meet the technical requirements of AMC 20-13 for enhanced surveillance, the GTX 3000 must have enhanced surveillance configured on and it must receive data to populate the relevant BDS registers.BDS Register SupportThe following Binary Data Selector (BDS) registers are supported.General Mode S Registers:• BDS (0,0) Air Initiated Comm-B (AICB)• BDS (1,0) Data Link Capability Report• BDS (1,7) Common Usage Ground Initiated Comm-B (GICB) Capability Report• BDS (1,8) Mode S Specific Services GICB Capability Report• BDS (1,9) Mode S Specific Services GICB Capability Report• BDS (1,C) Mode S Specific Services Protocols (MSP) Capability ReportElementary Surveillance Registers• BDS (2,0) Aircraft Identification• BDS (2,1) Aircraft and Airline Registration Markings• BDS (2,5) Aircraft Type• BDS (3,0) TCAS/ACAS Active Resolution AdvisoryTable 1-2 Transponder CapabilitiesCharacteristic SpecificationMode A Capability 4096 Identification CodesMode C Capability100 Foot Increments from -1000 to 62,700 feet.25 Foot Increments from -1000 to 50, 175 feet with suitable serial data altitude.Mode S Uplink Capability UF0, UF4, UF5, UF11, UF16, UF20, UF21Mode S Downlink Capability DF0, DF4, DF5, DF11, DF16, DF17, DF20, DF21Data link capability Level 2, Comm-A, Comm-B, Comm-U, Comm-VTCAS II support YesDiversity YesExtended squitter Yes, see note 1Elementary surveillance Yes, see note 2Enhanced surveillance Yes, see note 2SI code support Yes(E)TSO-C112c class Class 1DRAFT

Cable requirements and fabrication is detailed in Section 3 of this manual.• Hardware – #6-32 x 100° Flathead SS Screw [(MS24693, AN507R or other approved fastener) (4 ea.)] for horizontal mounting of the remote stand-alone rack.• Hardware – #8-32 Panhead Machine Screw [(MS35206, AN526 or other approved fastener) (4 ea.)] for vertical mounting of the remote stand-alone rack.• Encoding altitude Digitizer – For GNS 480 (CNX80) and GMX 200 (MX20) installation.  Use encoding altimeter manufacturer’s instructions.  The Garmin GAE 43 (Garmin P/N 013-00066-00) can provide altitude data in either serial or parallel gray code format.2.3 Installation ConsiderationsIn a Garmin Integrated Flight Deck, the GTX 3000 interfaces with both GIA units.  Optional available discrete line interfaces are shown in Section 4.5 Discrete Functions.In other system installations, the GTX 3000 can interface with equipment including altimeters and Air Data Computers (ADC).  RS-232, RS-422, and ARINC 429 provide a serial communication path between interfacing equipment.  Fabrication of a wiring harness is required..2.3.1 Preservation of Previous SystemsIt is the installer’s responsibility to preserve the essential characteristic of the aircraft being modified with this equipment to be in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer’s original design.  This includes the preservation of multiple power buses, which reduces the probability of interrupting power to essential instruments and avionics.Table 2-4 Connector Kit, 90 Degree (011-02019-01)Item Garmin Part Number QuantityBackshell w/hardware, 90 Degree Jackscrew, 37/62 pin 011-01959-03 1Backshell w/hardware, 90 Degree Jackscrew, 50/78 pin 011-01959-04 1Teflon heat shrink tubing, .093 ID 312-00005-05 6 (cm)High density D-Sub connector, male 62 pin 330-00776-62 1High density D-Sub connector, male 78 pin 330-00776-78 1Crimp Contact Pin 22D 336-00021-00 20Crimp Contact Pin 22D, 18 & 20 AWG 336-00044-00 7DRAFT
GTX 3000 Installation Manual Page 2-3190-00926-01 Revision A2.3.2 Antenna Location ConsiderationsAntenna mounting should utilize the aircraft manufacturer’s Type Certificated antenna location and style of antenna.  If a second (diversity) antenna is installed in the aircraft, considerations for its mounting should be made as outlined in Figure 2-1.  The antenna installation should be installed in accordance with AC 43.12-2A Chapter 3.  Note that penetration of the pressure vessel on the pressurized aircraft requires additional data not contained in this manual.  (See Section 2.5)Figure 2-1 Antenna Installation Considerationsa. The antenna (Garmin P/N 010-10160-00 or equivalent) should be mounted away from major protrusions, such as engine(s), propeller(s), and antenna masts.  It should also be as far as practical from landing gear doors, access doors, or other openings that could shadow (block) the signal between the transponder antenna and ATC radar on TCAS.b. The main antenna should be mounted vertically on the bottom of the aircraft (Figure 2-1).  The optional second (diversity) antenna should be mounted vertically on top of the aircraft.  Horizontal separation must be no more than 7.6 merers (25 feet).c. Antenna Separation: DME and TCAS receive signals in the same frequency range that aviation transponders transmit at, so their antennas should be separated from the transponder antenna by as much as feasible.  Six feet of separation is a guideline.  Radar altimeters (should one be installed on an aircraft with a GTX 3000) also have some potential to receive interference from a transponder (the transponders’ fourth harmaonic), so it is good practice to separate transponder and radar altimeter antennas by as much as practical also.  Avoid mounting the antenna within three feet of the ADF sense antenna or any other communication antenna and six feet from the DME antenna.d. To prevent RF interference, the antenna must be physically mounted a minimum distance of three feet from the GTX 3000.If the antenna is being installed on a composite aircraft, sufficient ground plane material must be added.  Conductive wire mesh, radials, or thin aluminum sheets embedded in the composite material provide the proper ground plane allowing the antenna gain pattern to be maximized for optimum transponder performance.NOTEDRAFT
Page 2-4 GTX 3000 Installation ManualRevision A 190-00926-012.4 Cabling and WiringRefer to the interconnect examples in Appendix C for wire gauge guidance.In some cases, a larger gauge wire such as AWG #18 may be needed for power connections.  If using  #18 barrel contacts, ensure that no two contacts are mounted directly adjacent to each other.  This minimizes the risk of contacts touching and shorting to adjacent pins or to ground.Ensure that routing of the wiring does not come in contact with sources of heat, RF or EMI interference.  Check that there is ample space for the cabling and mating connectors.  Avoid sharp bends in cabling and routing near aircraft control cables.  It is also good practice to avoid routing cables near sharp edges because aircraft vibration might wear away the insulation on the wires, which will leave them exposed to moisture and potentially create arcing or intermittent short circuits.The maximum attenuation at 1090 MHz between the unit and the antenna must not exceed 3.0 dB. This loss specification includes connector loss; for example, through a bulkhead connector (0.2 dB is typical  loss for each bulkhead connector).  The GTX 3000 back-plate assembly utilizes a BNC-type (bayonet connection) coaxial connector.Table 2-5 lists examples of recommended antenna cable.  Use the table to determine the length of cable needed to connect the transponder to the antenna, and to look up a recommended cable manufacturer and part number that will meet the 3.0 dB loss spec.  The table assumes  a loss figure of 0.2 dB per connector.  Note that any 50 Ω, double shielded coaxial cable assembly that meets airworthiness requirements and the 3.0  dB maximum loss figure (including connectors) may be used.Differential cable loss: If the cable loss difference between top and bottom channels is less than 1 dB, the unit’s default cable loss values are applicable, and the unit does not require cable loss configuration.  If that cable loss difference is more than 1 dB different between antennas, then cable loss configuration is required..Table 2-5 Cable SpecificationsMax.

GTX 3000 Installation Manual Page 2-5190-00926-01 Revision AThe maximum one-way propagation delay through the cables must not be more than 125 ns.  The maximum difference in the one-way propagation delay between the top and bottom antenna cables must be less than or equal to 75 ns.  Use Table 2-6 to determine the maximum difference in length between the top and bottom antenna cables.Absolute cable delay: Each antenna cable must have less than 75 ns of delay.  The 75 ns spec is for one-way cable delay – not delay down the cable and back up it (which one might consider given the receive and transmit functions).  If you meet the 3 dB cable loss requirement, you’ll almost certainly meet the 75 ns delay requirement.Differential cable delay: If the cable delay difference between the two cables is less than 25 ns, the unit does not require cable delay to be configured.  The unit’s default values will suffice.  Otherwise, we’ll simply have to configure each channel’s cable delay.* Maximum difference in cable length is limited by maximum cable length.2.4.1 Cable Routing ConsiderationsWhen routing cables, observe the following precautions:• All cable routing should be kept as short and as direct as practical.• Avoid sharp bends to prevent insulation from being breached.• Avoid routing close to sharp edges to prevent insulation from being breached due to vibration or handling the cable.• Avoid routing cables near power sources (e.g., 400 Hz generators, trim motors, etc.) or near power for fluorescent lighting.• Avoid routing antenna cables near DME, TCAS, radar altimeter, and ADF antenna cables (allow at least a 12-inch separation).Table 2-6 Maximum Difference in Cable LengthsMax.

Page 2-6 GTX 3000 Installation ManualRevision A 190-00926-012.5 Installation Approval Considerations for Pressurized AircraftAntenna and cable installations on pressurized cabin aircraft require FAA approved installation design and engineering substantiation data whenever such installations incorporate alteration (penetration) of the cabin pressure vessel by connector holes and/or mounting arrangements.  Use of existing bulkhead connectors previously approved by other means is permissible without additional approval.For needed engineering support pertaining to the design and approval of such pressurized aircraft antenna installations, it is recommended that the installer proceed according to any of the following listed options:1. Obtain approved antenna installation design data from the aircraft manufacturer.2. Obtain an FAA approved Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) pertaining to and valid for the subject antenna installation.3. Contact the FAA Aircraft Certification Office in the appropriate Region and request identification of FAA Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) who are authorized to prepare and approve the required antenna installation engineering data.4. Obtain FAA Advisory Circular AC-183C and select (and contact) a DER from the roster of individuals identified thereunder.5. Contact an aviation industry organization such as the Aircraft Electronics Association and request their assistance.2.6 Cooling AirCooling air is generally not required.  However, if the unit is located in a confined space or near a source of heat, cooling air is recommended for maximizing the life of the GTX 3000.  A 5/8 inch air fitting is provided on the rear of the backplate for the purpose of admitting cooling air.  If a form of forced air cooling is installed, make certain that rainwater or condensation cannot enter and be sprayed on the equipment. 2.7 GTX 3000 Mounting RequirementsRefer to the G1000 System Installation manual, Garmin part number 190-00303-00, for information on cooling requirements.  For remote mounted units, forced air cooling is not required.  However, the application of forced air cooling is recommended to provide beneficial cooling if the unit is located in a confined space or near a source of heat.A 5/8 inch air fitting is provided on the rear of the backplate for the purpose of admitting cooling air under such conditions.  If a form of forced air cooling is installed, make certain that rainwater or condensation cannot enter and be sprayed on the equipment. DRAFT
GTX 3000 Installation Manual Page 2-7190-00926-01 Revision A2.7.1 Remote Mounted Stand-Alone Rack ConsiderationsFigure 2-2 and the drawing in Appendix B show the GTX 3000 remote mounted stand-alone rack.  The remote rack can be installed in a variety of locations, such as the electronics bay, under a seat or on an avionics shelf behind the rear baggage area.  Refer to Figure 2-3 for suggested location.  Leave sufficient clearance between the GTX 3000 and any obstruction.  Install the rack in accordance with AC 43.13-2A Chapter 2 “Radio Installations”.  The rack should be mounted to a surface known to have sufficient structural integrity to withstand additional inertia forces imposed by a 4.3-pound (1.95 kg) unit.  If it is necessary to build a shelf or bracket to mount the GTX 3000 stand-alone rack or it is not certain that the chosen location is of sufficient structural integrity, refer to Appendix A for validation of rack mounting structures and determining static load capability.Figure B-1 gives the GTX 3000 stand-alone rack dimensions.  The rack can be mounted vertically using four 8-32 pan head screws (MS35206, AN526 or other approved fastener).  It can also be mounted horizontally using four 6-32 100° counter-sunk flathead screws (MS24693, AN507R or other approved fastener).  Ensure that the GTX 3000 chassis has a ground path to the airframe by having at least one mounting screw in contact with the airframe.  If more water-resistance is desired, the rack should be installed in the upright vertical orientation only, otherwise, the rack may be mounted in either vertical or horizontal orientation.After the cable assemblies are made and wiring installed to the rack back plate, route wiring bundle as appropriate.  Use cable ties to secure the cable assemblies and coax to provide strain relief for the cable assemblies.Figure 2-2 GTX 3000 Stand Rack (011-02515-00)DRAFT

GTX 3000 Installation Manual Page 3-3190-00926-01 Revision A3.5 Electrical Load AnalysisAn electrical load analysis should be completed on each aircraft prior to installation in accordance with AC43.13-1B, Chapter 11.  Use the following values for computation:3.5.1 Circuit Breaker PlacardInstall a Circuit Breaker Placard labeled Transponder or Transponder 1, Transponder 2 as appropriate as indicated in AC 43.13-2A, paragraph 27c(4).3.6 Final Installation?????????????????????3.7 Post Installation Configuration and CheckoutThe GTX 3000 Mode S Transponder will not provide valid outputs until the aircraft post installation configuration procedures are completed.3.7.1 ConfigurationWhen installed as part of the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck, the GTX 3000 transponder must have FAA approved configuration data.  Configuration data is loaded to the GTX 3000 from an aircraft-specific Software Loader Card.  Transponder settings are predetermined for a specific aircraft and are typically contained within the file named ‘GTX1’.  However, the aircraft registration number must be entered manually.The PFD serves as the graphics user interface to the installer configuring the system.  For basic configuration information, refer to the G1000 Line Maintenance and Configuration Manual, Garmin part number 190-00303-04.  For actual aircraft installation/checkout, use only aircraft manufacturer approved checkout procedures.Verify proper operation of the transponder by testing in accordance with Appendix F to 14 CFR Part 43 – ATC Transponder Tests and Inspections.For transponder installations operating with a Garmin GNS 480 (CNX80), refer to GNS 480 (CNX80) Installation Manual, 560-0982-01 for configuration procedures and operation checks.3.7.2 Interference CheckTurn on and verify operation of all avionics equipment except GTX 3000.  Then power the GTX 3000 on and verify there is no interference with any other equipment in the aircraft.  The operation/performance checks should be made with all other avionics turned on.

Page 4-6 GTX 3000 Installation ManualRevision A 190-00926-014.3 Altitude FunctionsAltitude functions with pin assignments are shown for reference since the altitude function is available in the GTX 3000.  In the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck system, altitude data is received from the GIA 63 in RS-232 format.Parallel gray code altitude inputs are considered active if either the voltage to ground is < 1.9 V or the resistance to ground is < 375 Ω.  These inputs are considered inactive if the voltage to ground is 11-33 Vdc.The GTX 3000 contains internal altitude code line isolation diodes to prevent the unit from pulling the encoder lines to ground when the transponder is turned off.If two separate altitude encoders are connected to the GTX 3000, one providing parallel gray code and the other, serial data, the unit selects only one for use at a time, with serial data input receiving the highest priority.For altitude encoders that can be connected in both serial data and parallel gray code format, such as the Garmin GAE 43 (Garmin P/N 013-00066-00), select one or the other but not both wiring connections.When connecting two altitude encoders to the Garmin GNS 480 (CNX80), the unit can only receive serial data from one unit at a time.  Use a DPDT switch to connect both serial data and External Standby Select.  Refer to Figure C-3.Among the surveillance items the Mode S transponder will transmit to the ground stations and other aircraft are altitude reporting in 25’ increments with the proper encoder.  In order to report altitude in 25-foot increments the GTX 3000 must receive altitude from suitable altitude reporting devices through serial input connections.  Altitude input to the GTX 33 received from parallel wire gray code encoders is supplied to the unit in 100-foot increments and thus reported in 100-foot increments.4.3.1 Altimeter Inputs4.3.2 Altimeter Interconnect, Dual GTX 3000 InstallationFor complete dual installation in which digital altitude encoders are connected to the GTX 3000, it is best to install two digital sources, connecting one encoder to each transponder.NOTESTable 4-4 Altimeter InputsPin Name Connector Pin I/OALTITUDE A1 P3301 2 InALTITUDE A2 P3301 4 InALTITUDE A4 P3301 5 InALTITUDE B1 P3301 7 InALTITUDE B2 P3301 9 InALTITUDE B4 P3301 10 InALTITUDE C1 P3301 8 InALTITUDE C2 P3301 3 InALTITUDE C4 P3301 6 InALTITUDE D4 P3301 11 InALTITUDE COMMON (GROUND) P3301 50 InDRAFT
GTX 3000 Installation Manual Page 4-7190-00926-01 Revision A4.3.3 Altimeter Selection PriorityWhen connecting the transponder to a GNS 480 (CNX80), the installer must be aware of the GTX 33 priority for selecting encoded altimeter interconnections.  The GTX 33 searches in this sequence for altitude, and stops when it finds a valid pressure altitude input.Altitude reporting equipment order of precedence:1) ARINC 429 Air Data Computer (label 203, if configured W/ALT) (25’)2) ARINC 429 EFIS (label 203, if configured W/ALT) (25’)3) RS-232 data from GNS 480 (CNX80), or Garmin Integrated Flight Deck (25')4) RS-232 Fuel/Air Data Computer (if configured W/ALT.) (25’)5) Shadin Altitude Serializer/Encoder (if configured for 25’)6) Icarus Altitude Serializer/Encoder (if configured for 25’)7) Parallel wire Gray Code input (100’)8) Shadin Altitude Serializer/Encoder (if configured for 100’)9) Icarus Altitude Serializer/Encoder (if configured for 100’)Only approved devices may provide altitude to the GTX 33 in accordance with 14 CFR 91.217.  In addition, all altitude reporting devices installed in the aircraft must meet certification requirements of 14 CFR 91.413.  The installer must select an altitude reporting device that is a certified altitude source for the particular aircraft.It is the installing agency’s responsibility to determine that the installed encoder is compatible with the selected altitude reporting criteria, either 100’ or 25’.  Refer to the GNS 480 (CNX80), installation manual 560-0982-01 for the altitude data reporting configuration.For additional information, refer to GNS 480 (CNX80) Installation Manual 560-0982-01 for the altitude data reporting configuration when connecting a GTX 330 to a GNS 480 (CNX80).4.4 Discrete FunctionsDiscrete functions with pin assignments are shown for reference since the functions are available in the GTX 3000.  External suppression should be connected if another transponder or DME is installed in the aircraft avionics system.  Depending on system configuration, the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck may not use these inputs, as many functions are received from the GIA 63 in RS-232 format.4.4.1 Discrete OutputsExternal suppression should be connected if a DME is installed in the aircraft avionics system.  The GTX 3000 suppression I/O pulses may not be compatible with all models of DME.  Known incompatible units include the Bendix/King KN 62, KN 64 and KNS 80.  These models have an output-only suppression port and can be damaged by the GTX 3000 mutual suppression output.  In this case, leave the suppression pin open.*INACTIVE:  10 ≤ Vin ≤ 33VDC or Rin ≥100kΩ  ACTIVE:   Vin ≤ 1.9VDC with ≥ 75 uA sink current, or Rin ≤ 375Ω Sink current is internally limited to 200 uA max for a grounded input Table 4-5 Discrete OutputsPin Name Connector Pin I/OALTITUDE ALERT ANNUNCIATE* P3301 19 OutEXTERNAL SUPPRESSION I/O (TXP/DME) P3301 31 I/ORESERVED [SIGNAL GROUND] P3301 51 --RESERVED [SIGNAL GROUND] P3301 58 --DRAFT

Refer to Figure C-3, for the EXTERNAL STANDBY SELECT interconnect.  When EXTERNAL STANDBY SELECT is grounded, ARINC 429 OUT PORT 1 remains active, while PORT 2 is inactive.4.5 Serial Data Electrical CharacteristicsThe GTX 33 manages support for several equipment interfaces.  The GTX 33 can be configured to include GPS, Airdata, AHRS, EFIS/Airdata, and ADLP 429 inputs, functioning as an ARINC 429 data concentrator.The GTX 33 has four ARINC 429 input ports, making it capable of taking altitude, air data, heading, EFIS selected course and possible future features, and then concentrating it on the ARINC 429 OUT 2 ports for possible data link applications.The GTX 33 is designed to feed all outgoing data to the external display via RS-232 data ports.Table 4-6 Discrete InputsPin Name Connector Pin I/OEXTERNAL IDENT SELECT* P3301 12 In EXTERNAL STANDBY SELECT* P3301 13 InSQUAT SWITCH IN P3301 17 InAUDIO MUTE SELECT* P3301 47 InDRAFT

GTX 3000 Installation Manual Page 4-11190-00926-01 Revision AThe following data is sent out at specified intervals using high speed ARINC 429 (100 kHz).  The transmit data labels and their rates are as follows:4.6 RS-232 Input/Output, Software Update ConnectionsWhen the GTX 33 is installed in a system other than a Garmin Integrated Flight Deck an optional RS-232 serial data connector should be installed in the aircraft for future software upgrades, negating the need to remove the transponder from the aircraft.  The connector can be mounted anywhere convenient for access, such as under the instrument panel, on a remote avionics shelf next to the unit or in the instrument panel itself.  Be sure to label the connector for Software Update.  Do not include the Test Mode Select switch in the aircraft.  See Figure 4-3 for software update connections.If the GTX 33 installation interfaces with a GNS 480 (CNX80) in the aircraft, the GNS 480 (CNX80) must be turned off during GTX 330 software upload, due to loading of RS-232 port 1.The installation of an optional software upgrade connector is highly recommended.  If the connector is wired in the aircraft, transponder removal and reinstallation for software upgrade is not required.If the unit is removed from the aircraft and operated, always connect J3302, (and J3303 for GTX 33D) to an antenna or a 50 Ω, 5-Watt load.  The GTX 33 transmits Mode S acquisition squitter replies about once per second whether interrogations are received or not.Beginning with software version 3.06, the GTX 33 software can be updated in the Configuration mode as well as in Test mode.  Updating software in Configuration mode does not require the TEST MODE SELECT switch.Table 4-11 Transmit Data LabelsLABEL DATA RATE100 Selected Course (degrees) 200 ms203 Pressure Altitude [in feet set to 29.92” Hg (1013.25 mb)] 100 ms204 Barometric Corrected Altitude (feet) 100 ms206 Indicated Air Speed (knots) 100 ms210 True Air Speed (knots) 100 ms211 Total Air Temperature (degrees) 100 ms213 Static Air Temperature (degrees) 100 ms306 Joystick Lat 500 ms307 Joystick Lon 500 ms314 True Heading 100 ms320 Magnetic Heading (Degrees) 100 ms371 GA Equipment Identifier 500 ms377 Equipment Identifier 500 msNOTECAUTIONDRAFT

GTX 3000 Installation Manual Page A-1190-00926-01 Revision AAPPENDIX A Construction and Validation of StructuresA.1 Static Test LoadingThis appendix includes information necessary for testing load-carrying capabilities of equipment mounting structures, such as shelves, mounting plates and mounting brackets, used to mount the GTX 3000 remote mounting tray.Baggage compartments and cabins or cockpit floors are good mounting platforms providing the floor attachments meet the strength requirements.  If support racks, brackets or shelves need to be fabricated, consider fabricating and attaching them to the aircraft structure in accordance with the methods outlined in AC 43.13-2B Chapter 2.  After the structure is installed, consider testing it as outlined in AC 43.13-2B Chapter 1 to verify that it is capable of supporting the required loads.The GTX 3000 installation must be capable of withstanding the Ultimate Load Factors listed in Table A-1 for at least 3 seconds in each direction specified without damage or permanent deformation.  Note that these required loads differ somewhat from those normally required for equipment installations.Since the combined weight of the GTX 3000 and its equipment mounting rack and connector is 4.3 lbs, the static loads which must be applied (Load Factor x 4.3 lbs.) will be as follows:Table A-1 Static Test LoadA.2 Determining Static Load CapabilityA recommended method of determining the static load capability is as follows:1. Mark and drill the holes where the GTX 3000 equipment rack will be mounted.2. Install four 8-32 machine screws (MS35206, AN526 or other approved fastener) in the four holes which will be used to mount the GTX 3000 equipment rack using washers, nuts and nutplates to mount the equipment rack to the mounting surface.  Note that some means of locking fastener must be used, e.g. either lock nuts or steel nuts with lock washers.3. For testing downward loading, place shot bags or other suitable weights totaling 28.4 pounds within the footprint outlined by the four screw holes (assuming the mounting surface is horizontal) or use a calibrated force gauge at the location of the center of gravity when the unit is mounted.4. Verify there is no damage or permanent deformation of the structure after 3 seconds.5. Fasten a 36 inch loop of suitable material such as fishing line, braided wire, or other similar material having a breaking strength of at least 100 lbs., diagonally between two of the screws.  Then fasten another loop diagonally between the other two screws, adjusting the length of the loop so it exactly matches the first.6. Hook a calibrated force gauge through both loops and apply a sustained pull for at least 3 seconds in each of the other three directions (upward, sideward and forward) at the above calculated forces (i.e. 25.8 lb. upward, 19.4 lb. sideward and 77.4 lb. forward).Direction of Force Load Factor Static Test Load(Load Factor x GTX 3000 weight)DOWNWARD 6.6 G (6.6 x 4.3) = 28.4 lbsUPWARD 6.0 G (6.0 x 4.3) = 25.8 lbsSIDEWARD 4.5 G (4.5 x 4.3) = 19.4 lbsFORWARD 18.0 G (18.0 x 4.3) = 77.4 lbsDRAFT
Page A-2 GTX 3000 Installation ManualRevision A 190-00926-017. Examine the support structure carefully. If there has been damage or permanent deformation, the structure is not suitable and must be replaced with one that is strong enough to withstand the test loads.  Examine all aircraft stringers, bulkheads and skin surfaces, which may have direct or indirect contact with the fabricated shelf.  If it is determined that no damage or permanent deformation has occurred, the structure is of sufficient strength and the GTX 3000 equipment rack may be permanently mounted on it.Figure A-1 Upward static Load TestFigure A-2 Forward Static Load TestDRAFT
