NOTE
For all GTS 8X0 installations, either a monopole antenna or directional antenna may be
used if installing an optional bottom mounted antenna. A bottom directional antenna
installation gives the benefit of intruder bearing visibility for targets that are shaded from
the top directional antenna. The target bearing accuracy may be degraded for bottom
directional antenna installations on aircraft with fixed gear.
The target bearing accuracy may be degraded for top directional antenna installations on
aircraft or rotorcraft with reflecting surfaces or structures in close proximity. All active
TAS/TCAS systems are susceptible to bearing shifts/errors due to reflected signals
constructively or destructively combining with incident signals. Directional antennas
should be mounted as far away as possible from reflecting surfaces or structures. Contact
Garmin for aircraft or rotorcraft specific antenna mounting location questions.
NOTE
For all GTS 8X0 installations, using system software version 3.00 (Garmin part number
006-B0551-10) or higher provides improved bearing performance when installed with a
reduced size ground plane under antenna.
NOTE
When removing an expanded-diameter barrel contact, always cut off the expanded-
diameter barrel before using an extraction tool to remove the contact.
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.
NOTE
All appliance to antenna coaxial cabling shall bundle top four channels as a group and
bottom four channels as a group to prevent incorrect wiring between top and bottom
channels.
A visual inspection shall be performed to verify that all coaxial cables are connected properly, before
attempting to operate the equipment.
NOTE
If an 011-01346-02 GA 58 or an optional low-profile directional antenna is installed, TNC
connectors (not provided) must be installed on the antenna end of the coaxial cables.
NOTE
For all GTS 8X0 installations, either a monopole antenna or directional antenna may be
used if installing an optional bottom mounted antenna. A bottom directional antenna
installation gives the benefit of intruder bearing visibility for targets that are shaded from
the top directional antenna. The target bearing accuracy may be degraded for bottom
directional antenna installations on aircraft with fixed gear.
A GTS 800 installation with both top and bottom mounted directional antennas uses one set of coaxial
cables for the four GTS 800 TOP jacks (J1 TOP, J2 TOP, J3 TOP, J4 TOP) that are connected to the
corresponding top antenna jacks J1, J2, J3 and J4. A second set of coaxial cables are used for the four GTS
800 BTM jacks (J1 BTM, J2 BTM, J3 BTM, J4 BTM) that are connected to the corresponding bottom
antenna jacks J1, J2, J3 and J4. Each cable assembly shall not exceed the maximum attenuation of 2.5 dB
at 1090 MHz as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 GTS 800 Installation with Top and Bottom Directional Antennas
Figure 2-2 GTS 800 Installation with Top Directional and Bottom Monopole Antennas
If no bottom mount antenna is installed, each of the GTS 800 bottom jacks (J1 BTM, J2 BTM, J3 BTM and
J4 BTM) must be terminated with a QMA 2 watt termination shown in Figure 2-3.
Figure 2-3 GTS 800 Installation with Top Directional Antenna and No Bottom Antenna
Figure 2-4 GTS 820 and GTS 850 Installation with Top and Bottom Directional Antenna
If an optional bottom mount monopole antenna is installed, a single coaxial cable must be used to connect
the GTS 820 or GTS 850 J1 BTM jack to the monopole antenna jack. The cable assembly shall not exceed
the maximum attenuation of 2.5dB at 1090MHz as shown in Figure 2-5. Each of the remaining GTS 820
or GTS 850 bottom jacks (J2 BTM, J3 BTM, J4 BTM) are to be terminated using a QMA 2 watt
termination.

NOTE
Any QMA connectors used other than those specified in Table 2-10 will constitute the
installation as being non-compliant with the manufacturer’s installation standards.
The installing agency may fabricate cable assemblies by terminating either M17/128-RG400 or
M17/60-RG142 coaxial cable with available QMA connector kits. Table 2-10 lists recommended cable
types to be used with specified QMA connectors for the GTS 8X0.
NOTE
Any in-line or bulkhead penetrations must be evaluated separately. It is the installing
agency’s responsibility to show airworthiness of the installed fabricated or purchased
coaxial cable assemblies.

Nominal cable insertion loss values at 1090 MHz are listed in Table 2-11. Actual loss may vary depending on
manufacturer’s cable attenuation specifications.
NOTE
In the following cable assembly loss calculation examples, always round up to the nearest
tenth of a dB.
Example 1 - GTS 800 with RG-400: (0.172 dB/ft x 10 ft for GTS 800-to-GA58 cable) + (0.035 dB x 2 QMA conn) =
1.79 dB. Round up to 1.8 dB.
Example 2 - GTS 820 with RG-400: (0.172 dB/ft x (10 ft for GTS 820-to-GPA65 cable + 2.5 ft for GPA65-to-GA58
cable)) + (0.035 dB x 4 QMA conn) = 2.29 dB. Round up to 2.3 dB.
Example 3 - GTS 800 with RG-400 AND Bulkhead conn: (0.172 dB/ft x (6 ft for GTS 800-to-Bulkhead cable + 6 ft
for Bulkhead-to-GA58 cable)) + (0.035 dB x 4 QMA conn) + Bulkhead Connector Loss = 2.204 dB +
Bulkhead conn. Installer must determine loss of Bulkhead conn at 1 GHz from manufacturer.
Assuming a Bulkhead conn loss of 0.2 dB for this example, 2.204 dB + 0.2 dB = 2.404 dB. Round up to
2.5 dB.
NOTE
Note: Any in-line or bulkhead penetrations must be evaluated separately. It is the
installing agency’s responsibility to show airworthiness of the installed, fabricated or
purchased coaxial cable assemblies.
NOTE
It is recommended that a color band be placed on both ends of each cable to match the
color marking designating the mating jack connector.
NOTE
It is recommended that the nominal end to end coaxial cable (non-terminated) length for
each set be recorded for the specific installation in the event that a particular coaxial
cable assembly associated with an installed set should require replacement.
NOTE
Use of crimp tooling other than that specified herein is not recommended for coaxial
cable assemblies fabricated by the installing agency using M17/128-RG400 or
M17/60-RG142. Improper tooling will constitute the cable assemblies as being non-
compliant with the manufacturer's installation standards and may result in the appliance
not performing as intended.
NOTE
Use of QMA connectors other than those specified in Table 2-10 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 Instructions for TNC Connectors
Follow TNC connector assembly guidelines. The use of adhesive heat shrink is recommended for TNC
connector installations at the antenna. Ensure the adhesive heat shrink overlaps the connector body and
does not interfere with the rotating sleeve of the TNC connector. It is recommended that the color-coded
heat shrink tubing be used for identification purposes.
2.4.1.6 Coaxial Cable Assembly Repair and Rework
In the event that an individual coaxial cable assembly requires rework, the following rules apply:
• Top or bottom GTS 800 to GA 58 (or other Garmin approved antenna) cables may be repaired with
a reduction in length of 6" maximum.
• Top or bottom GTS 820/850 to GPA 65 cables may be repaired with a reduction in length of 6"
maximum.
• GPA 65 to GA 58 (or other Garmin approved antenna) cables (on GTS 820/850 systems only)
must be replaced if repair is required because connector replacement would cause the matched
cable length requirement of 0.25" to be exceeded.

nearest airport is reported. ‘Not Available’ is displayed if any of the following are true:
Airport Database is disabled in the configuration; no ‘Nearest Airport’ is found; a radar
altimeter is installed; GPS is not available; or, unit is within 10 degrees of the North or
South Pole. Otherwise, the 3 or 4 letter ‘Airport Code’ will be displayed (e.g. KMCI, K39,
etc.).
NOTE
Self tests may be performed indoors but signal multi-path from building walls may be a
factor. If problems are experienced, self tests should be performed outside away from
buildings, and where local traffic is not a factor.
With the GTS 8X0 powered up and Standby indicated on the CDTI, cycle the GTS 8X0 to Self Test. The
self test feature of the GTS 8X0 tests the following internal parameters as well as performs calibration of
various components in the GTS 8X0:
NOTE
For helicopter installations without a squat switch, and wired as described in Note 6 of
Appendix B, select standby mode on the CDTI and initiate the self test within 8 seconds
before the unit changes back to operate mode.
a) Calibration Data Fault – Stored factory calibration parameters are invalid. Return unit to Garmin
for service.
b) Configuration Data Fault – Stored system configuration parameters are invalid or Mode S address
is invalid (All 0’s or F’s ). Fault will persist until configuration is corrected. See Configuration
Tab info in Section 3.12.2. Download the assert log and send to Garmin for diagnosis per
Diagnostics Tab info in Section 3.12.2.
NOTE
Receiver self-calibration is performed prior to the transmitter self-calibration. In the
event that a receiver calibration fault occurs, a transmitter self-calibration will not be
performed.
m) Transmitter Cal Fault. Check antenna installation and all cable connections and retry self test.
Ensure that self test occurs in area free of buildings and large objects that can reflect signals.
Download the assert log and use the GTS Assert Log Diagnosis Tool or send to Garmin for
diagnosis per Diagnostics Tab info in Section 3.12.2. If fault persists, return unit to Garmin for
service.
NOTE
When ADS-B receiver is enabled and GTS Processor is paired with a capable display,
additional information such as directionality will be shown as part of the test pattern.
Refer to the pilot’s guide of the applicable display for exact display symbology.
NOTE
When installed with a GTX 345 or GDL 88 that are generating ADS-B In data, the aural
alerts and symbols should appear as shown in Figure 3-29.
NOTE
If the intruder appears at close range to own aircraft, verify that the mutual suppression
line is connected between GTS 8X0 and other L-band equipment (transponder, DME, etc.).
GTS 8X0 generic operating instructions using the installed display device are as follows:
TAS/TCAS Activation
1. Set the TCAS Mode to Operate.
2. Set the Altitude Mode to Above, Below, Normal, or Unrestricted
TAS/TCAS Deactivation
1. Set the TCAS Mode to Standby.
See Section 1.6 and Section 1.7 of this document for instructions on how to obtain installation specific
operating instruction documents.
NOTE
For helicopter installations with the traffic system status valid discrete output wired to the
air/ground discrete input, the ground test must be performed with the squat 'on-ground'
sense temporarily configured as 'ground'. After performing the ground test, reconfigure
the squat 'on-ground' sense to 'open'.
NOTE
Garmin Integrated Flight Deck HSDB installations with GDU software versions prior to
11.10 require the USB interface dongle cable (Appendix B) to allow use of the GTS 8X0
Install Tool to simulate flight conditions such as altitude of 50,000 feet, gear up, etc
(Section 3.12.2). Garmin Integrated Flight Deck HSDB installations with GDU software
versions 11.10 and newer can access the Ground Test from the MFD to perform these
tests. Consult Garmin for details.
NOTE
When an IFR6000 ramp tester is used with a GTS 800, the IFR6000 must be configured
for a distance that is 4 times the actual distance. For example, if the ramp tester is located
10 ft away from an aircraft, the IFR6000 should be configured as if it were 40 ft away from
the aircraft. This will adjust the MTL setting of the IFR6000 such that it will see the
GTS 800 low power interrogations and reply to the interrogations.
For Garmin Integrated Flightdeck HSDB installations with GDU Software Versions prior to 11.10:
Activate ground test mode by clicking ‘Enable’ in the Ground Test field on the Normal Tab of the GTS
8X0 Install Tool.
For Garmin Integrated Flightdeck HSDB installations with GDU Software Versions 11.10 and
newer:
The Ground Test command is accessed from the MFD in normal mode while the aircraft is on the ground
by pressing the softkey sequence 3, 4, 4, 3. After pressing the softkeys in sequence, a 'GND TEST' softkey
appears, to allow the user to activate/deactivate the Ground Test. Press the 'GND TEST' softkey to begin
the procedure.
NOTE
The GTS 8X0 will not accept the Ground Test command unless the unit is in Standby and
the squat switch indicates the aircraft is on the ground.
NOTE
Configure Squat 'on-ground' sense as Open if no sense switch is installed. Leave Air/
Ground* discrete Open. Configuration of Gear/Wheel as 'Fixed' will cause system to
ignore the Gear Down and Locked* discrete input. See Figure B-1 (Notes 6 and 7) and
Figure B-9 for Air/Ground* and Gear Down And Locked* discrete inputs.
The Ground Test simulates the GTS to be airborne at 50,000 ft with magnetic heading of 0°.
Use a ramp tester, such as a TIC TR220 or equivalent, to make the following setup and measurements to
verify GTS 8X0 operational and surveillance functionality.
1. Position the test set directional antenna with a clear line of sight to the GTS 8X0 antenna at 90
degrees.
2. With the GTS 8X0 powered up and in Standby mode (indicated on the CDTI), cycle the GTS 8X0
to “Operate”.
3. Select the following scenario:
Intruder Type–ATCRBS Intruder Start Distance–10 NM
Intruder Start Altitude–50,000 ft Vertical Speed–0 fpm
Velocity–360 Kts
4. Initiate the intruder scenario and verify that the following occurs:
a) Traffic should be acquired at approximately 10 NM at 90 degree bearing and co-altitude.
Observe intruder closes on own aircraft at a rate of .1 NM/sec. Verify that only a single
target is displayed in the expected quadrant.
b) The intruder should transition from Other Traffic (displayed as an open diamond with 00
displayed above), to proximate traffic (displayed as a filled white diamond with 00
displayed above), to a Traffic Advisory (TA) alarm.
c) The appropriate TA symbology (yellow filled circle with 00 displayed above) displayed, and
an audio annunciation of "Traffic! 3 O'clock! Same Altitude! 3 Miles!", when the intruder
approaches within 3 NM.
NOTE
When in Ground Test Mode, the GTS 8X0 will inhibit audio if a Radar Altimeter is
installed and reading a value of less than 400 ft AGL (Above Ground Level).
NOTE
When a GTS 8X0 is configured not to have a Radar Altimeter installed and the gear is
extended (in a retractable gear aircraft), the audio annunciation of Traffic will be
inhibited.
NOTE
The GTS 8X0 must be in Ground Test mode to perform the antenna verification. Refer to
Section 3.12.6 for Ground Test mode information.
NOTE
When an IFR6000 ramp tester is used with a GTS 800, the IFR6000 must be configured
for a distance that is 4 times the actual distance. For example, if the ramp tester is located
10 ft away from an aircraft, the IFR6000 should be configured as if it were 40 ft away from
the aircraft. This will adjust the MTL setting of the IFR6000 such that it will see the
GTS 800 low power interrogations and reply to the interrogations.
The first step in antenna verification is to verify auto-calibration operates without indicating a fault.
1. With the GTS 8X0 powered up and “Standby” indicated on the CDTI (Cockpit Display of Traffic
Information) cycle the GTS 8X0 to “Operate”. Each time the GTS 8X0 transitions between these
modes, a self test of the antenna circuit is initialized. If the antenna connection is not correct the
CDTI will display “Failure” indicating it will be necessary to recheck the antenna coaxial
connections. If the CDTI displays “Operate” without indicating a fault, proceed to the next step of
antenna verification.
NOTE
Snow and/or ice on the TCAS antenna may cause the GTS auto-calibration values to
exceed expected parameters and cause a TCAS Fail message on the display device.
Removal of the snow and/or ice from the antenna is required if this occurs. It is
recommended that the user initiate a self-test to confirm that the issue is resolved after
removal of the snow and/or ice.
Using a ramp tester, such as a TIC TR220 or equivalent, make the following set up and measurements to
ensure the antenna is properly connected and the GTS 8X0 is operational.
2. Position the test set directional antenna with a clear line of sight to the GTS 8X0 antenna.
3. Ensure that the transmitter or receiver (RX/TX) under test is significantly closer to the ramp tester
than another operating RX/TX, or erroneous and inaccurate results may occur. All four quadrants
(forward, starboard, aft, and port) will be similarly tested to verify bearing of simulated intruder
supplied via the ramp tester are correctly displayed on the CDTI.
4. Using the ramp tester, select the proper antenna gain and distance to aircraft.
5. Position ramp test set at 0 degrees.
6. Turn the test set on.
7. Connect the directional antenna to the ramp test set.
8. Set the multifunction test set to perform “TCAS” testing. Configure the GTS 8X0 to the normal
operating mode.
NOTE
See ramp test set operators manual to set the following parameters
Intruder Start Distance–2 NM Intruder Start Altitude–50,000
Vertical Speed–0 fpm Velocity–0 Kts
10. Set the intruder type as ATCRBS.
11. Verify a target is annunciated on the GTS 8X0 TAS/TCAS display at the correct bearing of
approximately 0 degree azimuth at 2 NM and co-altitude (read as 00 above a filled diamond
indicating proximate traffic).
12. Toggle intruder traffic to standby or off.
13. Reposition ramp test set and directional antenna to a starboard position of 90 degrees.
14. Reengage the same intruder scenario as above.
15. Verify a target is annunciated on the GTS 8X0 TAS/TCAS display at the correct bearing of
approximately 90 degree azimuth at 2 NM and co-altitude.
16. Toggle intruder traffic to standby or off.
17. Reposition ramp test set and directional antenna to an aft position of 180 degrees.
18. Reengage the same intruder scenario as above.
19. Verify a target is annunciated on the GTS 8X0 TAS/TCAS display at the correct bearing of
approximately 180 degree azimuth at 2 NM and co-altitude.
20. Toggle intruder traffic to standby or off.
21. Reposition ramp test set and directional antenna to a port position of 270 degrees.
22. Reengage the same intruder scenario as above.
23. Verify a target is annunciated on the GTS 8X0 TAS/TCAS display at the correct bearing of
approximately 270 degree azimuth at 2 NM and co-altitude.
24. Toggle intruder traffic to standby or off
25. If the bearing is not as anticipated, recheck the antenna coaxial connections by verifying the
following:
• QMA connectors are 'snapped' firmly in place
• Connections are made to the proper channels and color-coded heat shrink is the same color
on both ends of cable
• QMA connectors are correctly installed on cables
• Correct antenna type is selected in the configuration
NOTE
If multiple targets are displayed during the antenna tests, recheck the antenna coaxial
connections.

9. GTS 800 INSTALLATIONS DO NOT REQUIRE ARINC 429 IN/OUT CONNECTIONS TO THE TRANSPONDER IF IT IS NOT THE PRESSURE
ALTITUDE SOURCE. IF THE TRANSPONDER IS THE SOURCE OF PRESSURE ALTITUDE, AN ARINC 429 OUTPUT FROM THE TRANSPONDER
(CONFIGURED WITH THE "GARMIN" FORMAT) MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE GTS 800.
GTS 820/850 INSTALLATIONS REQUIRE ARINC 429 IN/OUT CONNECTIONS TO THE GTX 33/33D/330/330D/33ES/33DES/330ES/330DES/328
TRANSPONDER (CONFIGURED WITH "GARMIN TAS" FORMAT) FOR INTERFERENCE LIMITING PURPOSES. IF THE TRANSPONDER IS THE SOURCE
OF PRESSURE ALTITUDE, A SEPARATE ARINC 429 OUTPUT FROM THE TRANSPONDER (CONFIGURED WITH "GARMIN" FORMAT) MUST BE
CONNECTED TO THE GTS 820/850.
GTS 800/820/850 INSTALLATIONS THAT INCLUDE A GNS 480 OR GTN 6XX/7XX-CONTROLLED GTX MODE S TRANSPONDER MUST DISCONNECT
THE ARINC 429 OUT CONFIGURED WITH "GARMIN" FORMAT FROM THE GTX TO GTS. SEE FIGURE B-13 IN APPENDIX B. THE GTX MODE S
TRANSPONDER MUST USE THE SAME PRESSURE ALTITUDE SOURCE AS THE GTS, CONNECTED EITHER DIRECTLY TO THE TRANSPONDER OR
SENT TO IT VIA GTS > GTN > GTX, OR GTS > GNS 480 > GTX COMMUNICATIONS LINKS. IF THE GTS REQUIRES MAG HEADING IN THE
INSTALLATION, THE MAG HEADING MUST BE PROVIDED VIA A SOURCE OTHER THAN THE GTX.
AN ALTITUDE LOOP COULD OCCUR IF THE FOLLOWING WIRING EXISTS: TRAFFIC DATA IS OUTPUT FROM THE GTX OVER ARINC-429 TO THE GTN
AND THE GTN PROVIDES HSDB DATA TO THE GTS. HSDB IS THE PREFERRED WIRING FOR BOTH INPUT AND OUTPUT OF DATA BY THE GTS.
IF ARINC 429 TRAFFIC OUTPUT IS REQUIRED, DISCONNECT THE HSDB WIRING TO PREVENT AN ALTITUDE LOOP. DOING SO MAY PREVENT
OTHER INPUTS TO THE GTS FROM BEING RECEIVED OVER HSDB. ADDITIONAL WIRING AND/OR CONFIGURATION MAY BE NEEDED TO RECEIVE
EQUIVALENT DATA.
10. BOTH THE ACTIVE HIGH HEADING VALID DISCRETE AND THE ACTIVE LOW HEADING VALID* DISCRETE INPUTS TO THE GTS 8X0 MUST BE
VALID FOR HEADING INFORMATION TO BE USED BY THE GTS 8X0. SEE SECTION 4.6.2 FOR DETAILED INSTALLATION INFORMATION.
11. A GTX 33/33D/330/330D/328 TRANSPONDER IS REQUIRED FOR ALL GTS 820 AND 850 INSTALLATIONS. A GTX 33/33D/330/320A/327
TRANSPONDERS WITH ES (EXTENDED SQUITTER) IS REQUIRED FOR ADS-B. SUPPRESSION I/O IS THE ONLY APPROVED INTERFACE FOR THE
GTX 32/320/320A/327 TRANSPONDERS. A GTX 328 TRANSPONDER IS NOT CAPABLE OF EXTENDED SQUITTER AND IS NOT ALLOWED FOR
GTS 8X0 ADS-B OPERATION.
12. THE GTS 8X0 SUPPRESSION I/O PULSES MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL MODELS OF TRANSPONDERS AND DME UNITS THAT HAVE
OUTPUT-ONLY SUPPRESSION AND CAN BE DAMAGED BY THE GTS 8X0 MUTUAL SUPPRESSION OUTPUT. FOR TRANSPONDERS AND DME UNITS
THAT HAVE OUTPUT-ONLY SUPPRESSION, AN IN-LINE DIODE MUST BE INSTALLED BETWEEN THE GTS 8X0 SUPPRESSION I/O (CATHODE) AND
THE OUTPUT-ONLY SUPPRESSION LINE.
