Install GPS Sensor Cable Assembly

Fabricate the GPS Cable assembly and identify with a label near the
connector. The label will state GPS 1 or GPS 2 as required.

 If the EFIS interfaces with a single GPS receiver, locate the

GPS interface cable from PFD J1 and terminate at GPS J1 per
Chapter 3.

 If the EFIS interfaces with dual GPS receivers, fabricate cables

from each GPS to the Remote Switch unit per Chapter 4.

NOTE: Ensure that a 6 to 12 inch service loop in the cable assemblies

are installed as the wiring is routed. Service loops cannot be long
enough to allow inadvertent cross-connection of Pilot’s and Co-Pilot’s
system when 2 GPS receivers are installed.

Install GPS Antenna

The GPS antenna is vertically polarized, optimized for UHF operation,
and designed for installation in aircraft, including helicopters. GPS is
a line of sight system. This means that the antenna must have an
unobstructed view of the satellite. Any “shadowing” or signal shading
