3.1 HIRF/Lightning Protection and EMC

To maintain HIRF/Lightning and EMC protection, the electrical equipment, supporting brackets, and
installation tray must be electrically bonded to the aircraft’s main structure. To prepare the surface for an
electrical bond refer to SAE ARP 1870 section 5.
Bond electrical equipment, supporting brackets, and racks to the airframe structure to achieve direct current
(DC) resistance less than or equal to 2.5 milliohms (5.0 milliohms for ICA maintenance intervals). Use a
milliohm meter to measure the resistance of the bond between the equipment and the adjacent aircraft
structure. Multi-meters are not acceptable for making these measurements.
It is recommended that all Garmin Integrated Avionics System equipment be electrically bonded. Remote
equipment interfacing to the GEA 110 should also be electrically bonded. Bonding mechanisms may be
provided at the installation level with use of bonding straps.
When allowable, the unit should remain on the mount. If not, reinstall the unit after the check is performed.
Disconnect the harness so that the shielded harness does not mask the chassis bond. No additional electrical
bond checks are required.

3.2 Wire Harness Build

CAUTION
INCORRECT WIRING CAN CAUSE INTERNAL COMPONENT DAMAGE.

The installer must supply and fabricate all of the cables. Allow adequate space for installation of cables and
connectors. Electrical connections are made through the 78-pin and 15-pin D-subminiature (D-sub) connectors
provided by Garmin.
When routing cable consider:
1. Wires routed too close to spark plugs, plug wires, or magnetos may result in erratic readings.
2. Ensure that EGT, CHT, and other sensor wires do not come in contact with exhaust manifolds or any other
extreme heat sources.
3. Ensure each sensor’s requirements for polarity, voltage, wire type, and mounting.
4. Route wires and cables as short and as direct as possible.
5. Avoid sharp bends and routing near fluorescent lighting and power sources (e.g., 400 Hz generators, trim
motors, etc.).

[4] On P/N 010-01329-01 the CCS can only be configured for 4.032 mA.

4.3 Power
The GEA 110 operates on 28 VDC or 14 VDC. After initial power on, the GEA 110 will operate normally to a
minimum of 11 VDC. Current draw is dependent on I/O usage and output loading, power wire gauge should
be determined for each specific installation based upon these criteria.
AIRCRAFT POWER 1 and AIRCRAFT POWER 2 are “diode OR’ed” to provide power redundancy. AIRCRAFT
POWER 2 connects to an alternate aircraft source (i.e., on an aircraft with two electrical buses or a display that
can supply power).

4.5 Analog Inputs
The analog input interface is a differential input. There are two differential voltage inputs. Each are
configurable for one of three voltage ranges, totaling six configurable voltage ranges. The differential voltage
inputs and the configurable voltage ranges are listed in table 4-6.

Table 4-6 Configurable Voltage Ranges

DIFFERENTIAL CONFIGURABLE
VOLTAGE INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE

±155 mV
-1.8 V to +2.5 V ±0.6 V
-1.8 to +2.5 V

±5 V
±80 V ±20 V
-60 to +80 V

When an analog input is used to monitor a voltage with respect to ground, connect the monitored voltage of
the sensor to the HI pin of the analog input and connect the LO pin of the analog input to the sensor ground
or a ground near the sensor. Differential wiring minimizes the error due to the interconnect. Due to the
difference in ground potential between the sensor and the GEA grounding the LO pin at the GEA can
introduce errors. The cable assembly should include shielded twisted pairs for each analog input HI/LO pair,
and the shields should be grounded at both ends of the cable.
For analog inputs configured for ±5 V, ±20 V, or -60 to 80 V the input resistance is 113.40 +/- 0.11 kilohm
across the specified temperature range of the unit. If the source resistance for the applied voltage is greater
than 10 ohm, the error due to the voltage drop across the source resistance starts to be significant. The source
resistance error can be accounted for in the conversion equation if the value of the source resistance and its
tolerance is known.
For analog inputs configured for ±155 mV, ±0.6 V, or -1.8 to +2.5 V it is more appropriate to specify a bias
current. The bias current for the analog in inputs is ± 12 nA max. The bias current multiplied by the source
resistance gives the error due to voltage drop across the source resistance in an installation. It is not possible to
compensate for the bias current in the conversion equation.
The configured range depends on the connected sensor. Below are typical ranges of thermocouples, pressure
transducers, and bus voltages.
 Thermocouples use the ±155 mV range
 Pressure transducers use the ±5 V and ±20 V ranges
 Bus voltages use the -60 V to +80 V range

4.6 Constant Current Source (CCS)

CAUTION
WHEN INTERFACED TO A RESISTIVE FUEL QUANTITY SENSOR THE CCS MUST BE CONFIGURED
FOR EITHER 4.032 mA OR 10.04 mA. THIS PREVENTS CORROSION BUILD UP ON THE FLOAT
LEADS. WHEN INTERFACING TO A RESISTIVE FUEL QUANTITY SYSTEM ONLY
ANALOG/CCS/DIGITAL IN 1-4 MAY BE USED, REFER TO SECTION 4.9.

When the CCS is configured ON, the input on the LOW side must be spliced and connected to ground near
the GEA. It is recommended that the ground connection is made as close as practical to the GEA to reduce
error due to voltage drop in the wiring. If not practical, near the sensor is acceptable.
Unless otherwise noted, each CCS input is capable of suppling 10.55 uA, 250 uA, 4.032 mA, or 10.04 mA
from the positive differential input that is used to measure resistive sensors. When CCS is enabled the voltage
input is -1.8 V to 2.5 V. For the resistance range that each CCS setting is capable of reading refer to table 4-8.
Use the CCS anytime a resistance is required to be measured. These sensors are typically RTDs, linear
transducers, and resistive fuel quantity systems.

4.7 Digital Inputs
Any digital input is configurable as a discrete input.
All cable assemblies should include shielded wires for each digital input, with the shield grounded at both
ends.
Each digital input may be configured as a frequency counter. The frequency counter inputs operate from 0 Hz
to 100 kHz, however the range from 0 Hz to 1 Hz may not be accurate.
All digital inputs can measure the frequency of signals from 0.25 Vpp up to 150 Vpp. Two of the digital inputs
can be configured to measure the frequency of signals from 0.025 Vpp up to 20 Vpp.
The digital inputs are used when a frequency is needed to be measured. The input is typically connected to
RPM, fuel flow, and some capacitive based fuel quantity systems.

4.9 Analog/CCS/Digital
Analog/CCS/digital channels are designed and tested for no arcing to any nodes internal to the GEA 110 or to
any unit pins during a lightning transient. This is an additional safety requirement to support direct interface
with fuel system sensors.
When using P/N 010-01329-00 and interfaced to a resistive fuel quantity sensor configure the CCS for either
4.032 mA or 10.04 mA This prevents corrosion build-up on the float leads.
When using P/N 010-01329-01 the only CCS configuration option available is 4.032 mA.
If replacing P/N 010-01329-00 with P/N 010-01329-01, verify that the sensors are compatible with the 4.032
mA CCS. If the sensor cannot use the 4.032 mA CCS setting, the sensor must be moved to another CCS
capable port. If connected to a resistive fuel quantity sensor using the 10.04 mA CCS setting, the port must be
reconfigured for the 4.032 mA CCS setting.

4.11 Discrete Outputs

The discrete outputs are active low type discrete outputs that present a high impedance (110 kilohm) in an
inactive state.
When active the outputs sink up to 500 mA in the active state with a voltage drop of 0.5 VDC or less. Include
an inline resistor to ensure the current remains below 500 mA.

4.12 Configurable Discrete Inputs
The configurable discrete inputs can be individually configured as active high or active low type.
When configured for the active low state, a voltage of 0 to 3.5 V, or a resistance of less than 375 ohm to
ground, is considered an active signal. A voltage of 8 V to 36 V or a resistance of greater than 100 kilohm is
considered an Inactive signal.
When configured for the Active High state, a voltage of 8 to 36 V is considered an Active signal. A voltage of
0 to 3.5 V or open is considered an Inactive signal.
The configurable discrete inputs source or sink a wetting current to mitigate oxidation that may exist on switch
contacts. When connected to ground, two high current configurable discrete Inputs are designed to sink
5 mA. The remaining standard current inputs source 1 mA each when connected to ground.
