1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
The GAD 43/43e adapter is an optional component for the G500/G600 integrated flight decks. It
interfaces with the GDU 620 display for configuration setup, alerting and to display and/or control
supported third party interfaces. When combined with the GRS 77 it provides attitude, heading, and yaw
input information. For attitude-based autopilots, the GAD 43/43e allows the existing ADI or attitude gyro
to be removed when the G500/G600 system is installed.
In this document, GAD 43/43e refers to functionality that applies to both the GAD 43 and the GAD 43e.
If GAD 43 or GAD 43e appears singularly, the functionality is specific to that LRU variant only.
The GAD 43e contains all functions of the GAD 43 as well as the following interfaces.
• Dual analog NAV radios
• Altitude preselect
• Analog radar altimeter
• Marker beacon inputs
• Synchro automatic direction finder
• Flight director amplifier
• Distance measuring equipment
• Vertical speed control
This manual reflects the operation of software v2.01 or later for the main board and v2.10 or later for the
expansion board. The GAD 43 includes the main board; the GAD 43e includes the main board and an
expansion board. Some differences in operation may be observed when comparing the information in this
manual to earlier or later software versions.

Rev. J Page 1-1
1.2 Interface Summary
The GAD 43/43e is a proprietary interface adapter LRU which has ARINC 429 I/O, RS-232, and other
supported digital protocols. Various analog interfaces (including ARINC 407) are also supported.
The GAD 43/43e includes the following interfaces.
• GRS 77 AHRS
• GDU 620 for GAD 43/43e configuration and display of GAD 43/43e alerts
• Analog NAV radios, analog radar altimeters, synchro ADF receivers, DME transceivers, and
marker beacon receivers are for display and use on the GDU 620 (GAD 43e only)
• Autopilots to support altitude preselect and vertical speed control (GAD 43e only)
• Autopilots that utilize the gyros identified in table 5-1 to provide pitch and roll attitude (including
valid relays), heading (including valid signal), yaw rate, and barometric correction information
For the system to completely meet TSO-C9c, the autopilot must claim TSO-C9c and be compatible with
the gyros listed in table 5-1.
1.3 Digital Interfaces
1.3.1 ARINC 429
The GAD 43 has one ARINC 429 input port to support input from the GRS 77 AHRS. The GAD 43e
expansion board adds one ARINC 429 input port to support input from digital DMEs. The GAD 43e has
one ARINC 429 output port on the expansion board to support the transmission of ADF bearing, radio
altitude, and NAV data.
1.3.2 RS-232
The GAD 43 has one RS-232 serial port on the main board, and the GAD 43e has one RS-232 serial port
on the expansion board to support communication with the GDU 620. Either connection may be used,
however the main board RS-232 connection is preferred.
1.3.3 Autopilot Serial Bus
The GAD 43e is capable of digital communication with autopilots to provide altitude preselect and
vertical speed control.
1.3.4 DME Serial Bus
The GAD 43e is capable of receiving digital DME distance from various DME equipment.
1.4 Analog Interfaces
1.4.1 Power Supply Outputs
The GAD 43/43e can provide DC and AC power supply outputs when interfaced to a 115 VAC reference.
Power supply outputs of +26 VDC, 26 VAC, and 5 VAC are provided. The AC supplies are in-phase with
the 115 VAC reference; the +26 VDC supply may be used to provide validity information using the
relays. The 26 VAC supply can source up to 300 mA of current, the 26 VDC supply can source up to
80 mA.
1.4.2 ARINC 407
The GAD 43/43e can provide three 3-wire ARINC 407 synchro outputs – one each for pitch, roll, and
heading. The GAD 43/43e also provides two 2-wire isolated synchro outputs – one each for pitch and roll.
The GAD 43e can receive one ARINC 407 synchro ADF bearing pointer. An input for AC reference
voltage is provided and is required for signal polarity and timing.
Rev. J Page 1-2
1.4.3 Analog Pitch/Roll
The GAD 43/43e has one set of pitch and roll analog outputs. These outputs are provided for the
emulation of panel mount gyros. An input for AC reference voltage is also provided and is required for
signal polarity and timing. A DC input reference voltage is provided for use with signal biasing.
Autopilots that utilize the gyros identified in table 5-1 to provide pitch and roll attitude (including valid
relays), heading (including valid signal), yaw rate, and barometric correction information. For the system
to completely meet TSO-C9c, the autopilot must claim TSO-C9c and be compatible with the gyros listed
in table 5-1.
1.4.4 Yaw Rate/Baro Correction
The GAD 43/43e has one analog output that can be configured to provide either yaw rate or baro
correction information.
• The GAD 43/43e has an analog yaw rate output for autopilots that accept standard analog rate
information.
• For installations that do not utilize the yaw rate output, the same pins can be provided to supply
analog barometric correction information to the autopilot computer. This correction information
emulates the analog output (pickoff) of the standard King altimeter.
1.4.5 Radar Stabilization
The GAD 43/43e provides two 2-wire (one for pitch and one for roll) radar stabilization signals.
Depending on the radar system, the isolated synchro outputs can also be used for radar stabilization.
1.4.6 Autopilot Signaling
The GAD 43e provides analog outputs to autopilots to support altitude preselect and vertical speed
control functionality.
1.4.7 Radio Altimeter
The GAD 43e has one differential analog voltage input to support the receipt of radio height from a radio
altimeter.
1.4.8 Marker Beacon
The GAD 43e has marker lamp inputs to support the receipt of marker beacon lamps from a marker
beacon receiver.
1.4.9 Dual Analog NAV Radios
The GAD 43e has two composite inputs for VLOC, and two sets of low-level inputs for glideslope
deviation and flag.
1.5 Discrete Interfaces
The GAD 43/43e has two active-low discrete outputs. One discrete output is available to support future
functionality. The other discrete output provides a heading valid output to interface with various autopilot
computers. The GAD 43e adds discrete inputs and outputs to support DME, Radio Altimeter, analog
NAV receiver, and altitude preselect and vertical speed control functionality.
1.6 Relays
The GAD 43/43e has two relays which operate based on the validity of the attitude information. The relay
common, normally-open, and normally-closed pins are available to support a wide-variety of
configurations.

2.4 Installation Considerations
The existing remote-mounted or panel-mounted gyro can be removed, and the GAD 43/43e will be
installed to emulate the signals from the removed instrument.
The following sections describe issues that must be considered for each installation.
2.4.1 Cabling and Wiring
Use AWG #24 or larger wire for all connections unless otherwise specified by the aircraft manufacturer
or Garmin. The standard-density socket contacts supplied in the connector kit are compatible with up to
AWG #20 wire (P431). 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.
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.
2.4.2 Cooling Requirements
The GAD 43/43e has no cooling requirements.
2.4.3 Mounting Requirements
NOTE
Installation of the GAD 43/43e is restricted to locations in the aircraft that are consistent
with the DO-160E categories defined in the GAD 43 Environmental Qualification Form
(EQF), P/N 005-00496-07 or GAD 43e EQF, P/N 005-00578-01. General environmental
specifications can be found in section 1.7.
The GAD 43/43e is designed to be mounted flat or on its side. If mounting the GAD 43/43e on its side, a
minimum of four 6/32" screws must be used. If mounting the GAD 43/43e flat, a minimum of six 6/32"
screws must be used.

Rev. J Page 2-2
3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
3.1 Unpacking Unit
Carefully unpack the equipment and make a visual inspection of the unit for evidence of damage incurred
during shipment. If the unit is damaged, notify the carrier and file a claim. To justify a claim, save the
original shipping container and all packing materials. Do not return the unit to Garmin until the carrier has
authorized the claim.
Retain the original shipping containers for return shipments. If the original containers are not available, a
separate cardboard container should be prepared that is large enough to accommodate sufficient packing
material to prevent movement.
3.2 Special Tools Required
Crimp Tool
A crimp tool meeting MIL specification M22520/2-01 and a positioner/locator are required to ensure
consistent, reliable crimp contact connections for the rear D-sub connectors. Refer to table 3-2 for a list of
recommended crimp tools.
3.3 Equipment Mounting
NOTE
Installation of the GAD 43/43e is restricted to locations in the aircraft that are consistent
with the DO-160E categories defined in the GAD 43 Environmental Qualification Form
(EQF), P/N 005-00496-07 or GAD 43e EQF, P/N 005-00578-01. General environmental
specifications can be found in section 1.7.
The GAD 43/43e should be mounted in a dry location, which may be pressurized or unpressurized. A
location away from heating vents or other sources of heat generation is optimal. The unit should be
mounted on a flat surface using the flanges provided on the unit. The mounting surface should provide
sufficient electrical bond to the aircraft to minimize radiated electro-magnetic interference (EMI). Cabling
must also be fabricated to fit each particular aircraft.
3.4 Unit Replacement
NOTE
The installation configuration settings are stored in the GDU 620 configuration module
and will be retained when the GAD 43/43e is replaced with a new unit. If a new unit is
reinstalled in place of an existing unit, it will be required to enter configuration mode on
the GDU 620 to verify that the GAD 43/43e configuration is correct for the installation.
Whenever the GAD 43/43e is removed and reinstalled, verify that the slide-lock is engaged on both sides of
each connector. The GDU 620 provides a configuration interface for the GAD 43/43e. If the unit was
serviced or if a new unit is being installed, verify that the configuration is correct by comparing the
previously completed checkout log to the configuration settings shown on the GDU 620. After
configuration, power up the system including GDU 620 and GAD 43/43e and verify that no failure or error
messages are displayed.

Rev. J Page 3-1
3.5 Cabling and Wiring
The GAD 43/43e connector kit includes the connector(s) and crimp contacts. Make the crimp connections
with a crimp tool as specified in table 3-2.
Refer to the interconnection diagrams in appendix C for the appropriate interconnections. Use 22 or 24
AWG wire for all connections except for power. Use 22 AWG for power/ground. Once the cable
assemblies have been made, position the cable so that there is sufficient length to allow for the installation
of the GAD. Route the wiring bundle as appropriate. Avoid sharp bends.
3.5.1 Wiring Harness
CAUTION
Check wiring connections for errors before connecting the cables to the GAD 43/43e.
Incorrect wiring could cause component damage.
Allow adequate space for installation of cables and connectors. The installer supplies and fabricates all of
the cables. All electrical connections are made through connector(s) provided by Garmin. Construct the
wiring harness according to the information contained in this and the following sections. Cable lengths
will vary depending upon installation. Strip all wires going to the connectors 0.17". Insert the wire into
the pin and crimp with one of the recommended (or equivalent) crimping tools. Insert the pin into the
connector housing location as specified by the interconnect drawings in appendix C. Verify the pin is
properly engaged into the connector by gently tugging on the wire. Route and secure the cable run from
the GAD 43/43e to the other units away from sources of electrical noise.
Section 4 provides I/O definition of all input and output signals. Required connectors and associated
hardware are supplied with the connector kit. Refer to appendix C for interconnect wiring diagrams.

Rev. J Page 3-3
3.6.1.1 Shielded Cable Preparation
NOTE
Solder sleeves with pre-installed shield drains may be used instead of separate shield
terminators and individual wires.
NOTE
Solder Sleeves with pre-installed lead: A preferred solder sleeves is the Raychem S03
Series with the thermochromic temperature indicator. These solder sleeves come with a
pre-installed lead and effectively take the place of items 12 and 13. For detailed
instructions on product use, refer to Raychem installation procedure.
The parts for the connector and backshell assembly for the GAD 43 installations are listed in table 3-3.
The GAD 43 connector kit, P/N 011-01990-00, includes one Garmin backshell assembly and one Garmin
ground adapter assembly. Backshell connectors give the installer the ability to terminate shield grounds at
the backshell housing using the shield block ground kit.
Prepare all of the shielded cables using the method shown in figure 3-1. Refer to figure 3-2 for details of
the shield termination to the connector backshell.
1. At the end of the shielded cable (11), strip back two inches (maximum length) of the jacket to expose
the braid. Remove this exposed braid. Carefully score the jacket 1/4-inch to 5/16-inch from the end
and remove the jacket to leave the braid exposed.
2. Connect a 20 or 22 AWG wire (13) to the exposed shield of the prepared cable assembly as shown in
figure 3-2. AC 43.13 maybe a helpful reference for termination techniques.
3. Slide a shield terminator (12) onto the prepared cable assembly (11) and connect the wire (13) to the
shield using a heat gun approved for use with solder sleeves. The chosen size of solder sleeve must
accommodate both the number of conductors present in the cable and the wire (13) to be attached.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 as needed for the remaining shielded cables.
5. Crimp contacts (14) onto the wires and terminate in the connector (10) in accordance with the aircraft
wiring drawings.

3.6.1.2 Connector and Backshell Assembly
CAUTION
When mounting the slide lock, use only the specified screws (6). Do not attempt to use
the self-tapping screws supplied in the slide lock kit, as these will damage the backshell
housing.
CAUTION
Placing the grooved side of the strain relief across the cable bundle may damage wires.
NOTE
Each tapped hole on the shield block (2) may accommodate only two ring terminals (15).
It is preferred that a maximum of two wires (13) be terminated per ring terminal. Two
wires per ring terminal will necessitate the use of a ring terminal, #8, insulated, 14-16
AWG (MS25036-153). If only a single wire is left or if only a single wire is needed for
this connector a ring terminal, #8, insulated, 18-22 AWG (MS25036-149) can
accommodate this single wire. If more wires exist for the connector than two per ring
terminal, it is recommended that only three wires are terminated in each ring terminal to
ensure a good electrical connection.
Refer to figure 3-3 for this procedure.
1. Attach the shield block (2) to the backshell (1) by inserting the flathead screws (3) through the holes
on the shield block and threading into the tapped holes on the backshell (1).
2. Place the slide lock (5) over the connector (10). While holding the slide lock in place, attach the
connector/slide lock to the backshell (1) by inserting two screws (6) through the holes on the
connector and threading into the tapped holes on the backshell (1).
3. Wrap the cable bundle with silicone fusion tape (19 or a similar version) at the point where the
backshell strain relief and cast housing will contact the cable bundle.
4. Place the smooth side of the backshell strain relief (7) across the cable bundle and secure using the
three screws (6).
5. Insert the slide lock spring (4) into the connector backshell (1). Attach the cover (8) to the backshell
using two screws (9).
6. Install ring terminals (15) onto the wires (13), grouping wires as appropriate for the connector.
7. Terminate the ring terminals to the shield block (2) by placing items on the pan head screw (16) in the
following order: split washer (17), flat washer (18), first ring terminal, second ring terminal if needed,
before finally inserting the screw into the tapped holes on the shield block.
