NOTE
Use of QMA connectors other than those specified in Table 2-2 for coaxial cable
assemblies fabricated by the installing agency using either M17/128-RG400 or
M17/60-RG142 coaxial cable will constitute the cable assemblies as being
non-compliant with the manufacturer’s installation standards.
2.4.1.5 Coaxial Cable Assembly Repair and Rework
In the event that an individual coaxial cable assembly requires rework, between a GTS 800 jack and
antenna jack, a TOP GTS820/850 jack and GPA 65 jack or a BTM GTS 820/850 jack and antenna jack,
the repairable coaxial cable may be reduced in length a maximum of two inches.
In the event that rework is required on a coaxial cable assembly between a GPA 65 jack and antenna jack
on a GTS 820/850 installation, complete replacement of the cable assembly shall be required in lieu of
rework.
Refer to Table 2-3 for recommended maximum cable assembly lengths for cable assemblies fabricated by
the installer.
2.5 Cooling
Requirements
The GTS 8XX and GPA 65 meet all TSO requirements without external cooling. A 5/8” diameter air
fitting is provided on the rear of the GTS 8XX for the purpose of admitting cooling air if desired. If a
form of forced air cooling is installed, make certain that rainwater cannot enter and be sprayed on the
equipment.
For G1000 installations refer to the G1000 System Installation manual, Garmin part number
190-00303-00, for more information on cooling requirements.
