INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
3.1
Unpacking Unit
Carefully unpack the equipment and make a visual inspection of the unit for evidence of damage incurred
during shipment. If the unit is damaged, notify the carrier and file a claim. To justify a claim, save the
original shipping container and all packing materials. Do not return the unit to Garmin until the carrier
has authorized the claim.
Retain the original shipping containers for storage. If the original containers are not available, a separate
cardboard container should be prepared that is large enough to accommodate sufficient packing material
to prevent movement of the item within the container.
3.2
Marker Beacon Antenna Installation
Install the marker beacon antenna according to the antenna manufacturer’s instructions and FAA
Advisory Circulars AC 43.13-1B and AC 43.13-2A Chapters 2 and 3, as applicable.
3.3
Marker Beacon Antenna Cable Connectors
The marker beacon antenna cable requires a BNC or similar coax connector on the antenna end. Follow
connector manufacturer instructions for assembly of the antenna connector.
3.4
Electrical Connections
All electrical connections to the GMA 347, including the marker beacon antenna and shield ground, are
made through two 78-pin D-subminiature connectors (see Figure 4-1). Tables in Section 4 define the
electrical characteristics of all input and output signals. Required connector and associated hardware are
supplied in the connector kit (P/N 011-00813-01). See figures in Appendix C for interconnect wiring
diagrams.
CAUTION
Check wiring connections for errors before inserting the GMA 347 into
the rack. Incorrect wiring could cause internal component damage.
