INSTALLATION
2.1
Introduction
This section provides hardware equipment information for installing the GDL59 and related hardware.
Installation of the GDL 59 should follow the aircraft TC or STC requirements.
Cabling is fabricated by
the installing agency to fit each particular aircraft. The guidance of FAA advisory circulars AC 43.13-1B
and AC 43.13-2A, where applicable, may be found useful for making retro-fit installations that comply
with FAA regulations.
Refer to the G1000 System Installation Manual, Garmin part number 190-00303-00 for further details on
the mechanical aspects.

Cabling and Wiring
Use AWG #24 or larger wire for all connections unless otherwise specified by the aircraft manufacturer
or Garmin.
The standard pin contacts supplied in the connector kit are compatible with up to AWG #22
wire.
In cases where some installations have more than one unit sharing a common circuit breaker, sizing
and wire gauge is based on aircraft circuit breaker layout, length of wiring, current draw of units, and
internal unit protection characteristics.
Do not attempt to combine more than one unit on the same circuit
breaker unless it is specified on aircraft manufacturer approved drawings.
In some cases, a larger gauge wire such as AWG #16, #18, or #20 may be needed for power connections.
Special thin-wall heat shrink tubing is also provided to insulate the extended barrels inside the backshell.
If using #16 or #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 and to ground.
