1.2 Equipment Description
1.2.1 GSU 75
The Garmin GSU 75 ADAHRS (Air Data, Attitude and Heading Reference System) is a remote mounted
device that provides flight altitude, airspeed, attitude and heading data for flight instrumentation.
The GSU 75 provides the following information in ARINC 429 format:
• Aircraft Altitude and Airspeed
• Aircraft Vertical Speed, Mach, and Air Temperature
• Aircraft Heading, Pitch, and Roll
• Aircraft Yaw, Pitch, and Roll rates
• Aircraft Body-axis Accelerations
• Rates of Change of Heading, Pitch, and Roll
• Aircraft Accelerations Expressed in a Local Level Frame of Reference
• Density Altitude
• Pressure Altitude
• Indicated Airspeed
• True Airspeed
Operating voltage is 14/28 volts DC. The GSU 75 also provides the operating current to the GTP 59 OAT
Probe and operating voltage to the GMU 44/44B Magnetometer.
Together, the GSU 75 and GMU 44/44B are capable of maneuvers through a range of 360° in bank and
pitch. The rotation rate capability is ± 250 °/s. However, ARINC 429 angular rate output messages are
limited to ±128° per second.
Bank error and pitch error are within 1.0° in static conditions and +/- 2.5° under dynamic and flight
conditions. Heading accuracy is within +/- 2.0° in static conditions and +/- 6.0° in dynamic and flight
conditions.
Operation in the following regions is not authorized due to unsuitability of the magnetic fields near the
Earth’s poles:
1. North of 72° North latitude at all longitudes
2. South of 70° South latitude at all longitudes
3. North of 65° North latitude between longitude 75° W and 120° W. (Northern Canada)
4. North of 70° North latitude between longitude 70° W and 128° W. (Northern Canada)
5. North of 70° North latitude between longitude 85° E and 114° E. (Northern Russia)
6. South of 55° South latitude between longitude 120° E and 165° E. (Region south of Australia and
New Zealand)
1.2.2 GMU 44
The Garmin GMU 44/44B Magnetometer is a remote mounted device that provides magnetic information
to support the function of the GSU 75. The GSU 75 provides operating voltage to the GMU 44/44B
Magnetometer.

1.6 Operating Instructions


The GSU 75 and GMU 44 are remote-mount LRUs with no user controls or indicators. All user interface
is accomplished through a compatible display device. The GSU 75 and GMU 44 provide flight altitude,
airspeed, attitude, and heading data that is communicated to the display device. Loss of any of this data is
communicated to the pilot by system messages. Upon system power up, the absence of GSU 75/GMU 44
system messages indicate that the GSU 75/GMU 44 are fully operational. There are no further GSU 75/
GMU 44 specific operational procedures.
For GX000 installations, refer to the applicable airframe specific pilot documentation for operating
instructions (available at www.garmin.com).

2 INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
2.1 Introduction
This section provides hardware equipment information for installing the GSU 75 ADAHRS and GMU 44.
Installation of the GSU 75/GMU 44 must 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 43.13-2B, where applicable, may be found useful for making retro-fit installations
that comply with FAA regulations.

2.2 Installation Materials


The GSU 75 is available as a single unit under the part numbers listed in Table 2-1.

2.4 Additional Equipment Required
• Cables - The installer will supply all system cables including circuit breakers. Cable requirements
and fabrication is detailed in Section 3 of this manual.
• Hardware required to mount the GSU 75 Remote Rack is not provided.
• Air hoses and fittings to connect pitot and static air to the GSU 75(X). The GSU 75(X) has a
female 1/8-27 ANPT brass fitting for each pitot and static port. Use appropriate aircraft fittings to
connect to pitot and static system lines.
• #18 or #20 AWG wire contacts, Garmin part number 336-00044-00 (only required if #18 or #20
AWG wire is used)
2.5 Cabling and Wiring
Refer to the interconnect examples in Appendix B for wire gauge guidance.
In some cases, a larger gauge wire such as #18 or #20 AWG may be needed for power connections. If using
#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.
Ensure that routing of the wiring does not come in contact with sources of heat or RF/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.
2.6 Electrical Bonding
Electrical equipment, supporting brackets, and racks should be electrically bonded to the aircraft’s main
structure. Refer to SAE ARP 1870 Section 5 when surface preparation is required to achieve electrical
bond. An equivalent OEM procedure may also be substituted. The electrical bond should achieve direct
current (DC) resistance less than or equal to 2.5 milliohms to local structure where the equipment is
mounted. Compliance should be verified by inspection using a calibrated milliohm meter.
For aircraft that require protection from lightning waveform 5A at levels higher than DO160F section 22
Level 3 cable bundle testing, the GSU 75/GRS 79 backshell must have a ground strap to airframe directly
in addition to the grounding provided by the chassis. The strap must be minimum of 5/8 inches wide (e.g.
QQB575F-36-T0375 or larger) and no longer than 10 inches. One end of the braid must be terminated to
the Garmin backshell and the other end terminated directly to airframe ground.

2.7 Pneumatic Plumbing
The GSU 75 has two stainless steel ports that are connected to the aircraft’s pitot pressure source and static
pressure source. The two ports are labeled on the unit (Figure 2-1). The pressure ports have 1/8-27 ANPT
female threads. The mating fitting must have 1/8-27 ANPT male threads.
Use appropriate air hoses and fittings to connect the pitot and static lines to the unit. Avoid sharp bends and
routing near aircraft control cables. The GSU 75 should not be at the low point of the pitot or static
plumbing lines, to avoid moisture or debris collecting at or near the unit. Ensure that no deformations of
the airframe surface have been made that would affect the relationship between static air pressure and true
ambient static air pressure for any flight condition. Refer to part 43, Appendix E for approved practices
while installing hoses and connections.

2.8 Cooling Air
No cooling air is needed for the GSU 75 or GMU 44.

2.9 GTP 59 Icing


The GTP 59 OAT probe has no icing protection. If ice accumulates on the GTP 59 OAT probe air
temperature measurements may be incorrect. Furthermore, computations dependent upon air temperature
measurements may be affected (e.g. true airspeed and delta-ISA).

2.10 Installation Approval Considerations for Pressurized Aircraft
Cable installations on pressurized cabin aircraft require FAA approved installation design and engineering
substantiation data whenever such installations incorporate alteration (penetration) of the cabin pressure
vessel by connector holes and/or mounting arrangements.
For needed engineering support pertaining to the design and approval of such pressurized aircraft
installations, it is recommended that the installer proceed according to any of the following listed
alternatives:
1. Obtain approved installation design data from the aircraft manufacturer.
2. Obtain an FAA approved Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) pertaining to and valid for the
subject installation.
3. Contact the FAA Aircraft Certification Office in the appropriate Region and request identification
of FAA Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) who are authorized to prepare and
approve the required installation engineering data.
4. Locate and contact an appropriate consultant FAA DER by reviewing the “FAA Consultant DER
Directory”, which can be found at the FAA “Designee and Delegation” web page.
5. Contact an aviation industry organization such as the Aircraft Electronics Association and request
their assistance.

2.11 Mounting Requirements
2.11.1 GSU 75 Mounting
The GSU 75 includes an extremely sensitive strap-down inertial measurement unit. It must be mounted
rigidly to the aircraft primary structure. Do not use shock mounting. Shock mounts used for other types of
inertial systems are not acceptable for the GSU 75 ADAHRS. The mounting system must have no
resonance with the unit installed that would cause DO–160F vibration levels to be exceeded. (See the
GSU 75 Environmental Qualification Form). Vibration outside of these limits may result in degraded
accuracy.
The supporting plate must be rigidly connected to the aircraft primary structure through strong structural
members capable of supporting substantial loads. Avoid areas that are prone to severe vibration (e.g.,
areas close to engine mounts and landing gear).
The GSU 75 should be mounted within 13 feet longitudinally and 6.5 feet laterally of the aircraft center of
gravity. The mounting location for the GSU 75 should be protected from rapid thermal transients, in
particular, large heat loads from nearby high-power equipment.
The GSU 75 mounting rack should be leveled to within 8° in aircraft longitudinal direction (pitch), and 4 °
in aircraft lateral direction (roll) with the unit oriented such that the rack is on the bottom, and an aircraft
leveling and offset setting procedure carried out prior to flight. (This procedure is described in Section 5)
Alternatively, if the mounting rack can be guaranteed level to within 0.25° of the aircraft level reference,
the aircraft leveling and offset setting procedure is not required.
In regards to heading, the GSU 75 supports mounting in the four azimuth orientations orthogonal to the
direction of flight (i.e., connector forward, aft, left, or right) and must be aligned within ±1.0° of the
applicable axis to avoid heading errors. The mounting orientation will be stored in the aircraft specific
configuration module.
Refer to Appendix A Outline and Installation Drawing for details.

2.11.2 GMU 44 Magnetometer Mounting
The GMU 44 is an extremely sensitive three-axis magnetic sensor. It is more sensitive to nearby magnetic
disturbances than a flux gate magnetometer. For this reason, when choosing a mounting location for the
GMU 44, observe the following distances from objects or devices that can disturb the magnetic field.
Table 2-8 specifies recommended distances from magnetic disturbances for GMU 44 location.

NOTE
Instructions in this section do not apply to the GMU 44B Magnetometer. Refer to the
GMU 44B Installation Manual for GMU 44B mounting instructions.

Table 2-8 Recommended Distance from Magnetic Disturbances

Disturbance Source Minimum Distance from GMU 44


Electric motors and relays, including servo motors 10 feet (3.0 meters)
Ferromagnetic structure greater than 1 kg total (iron, steel, or
8.2 feet (2.5 meters)
cobalt materials, especially landing gear structure)
Ferromagnetic materials less than 1 kg total, such as control
3 feet (1.0 meter)
cables
Any electrical device drawing more than 100 mA current 3 feet (1.0 meter)
Electrical conductors passing more than 100 mA current [(must
3 feet (1.0 meter)
be twisted shielded pair if within 10 feet (3.0 meters)]
Electrical devices drawing less than 100 mA current 2 feet (0.6 meter)
Magnetic measuring device other than another GMU 44 (e.g.
2 feet (0.6 meter)
installed flux gates, even if not powered)
Electrical conductors passing less than 100 mA current [(must
1.3 feet (0.4 meter)
be twisted shielded pair if within 10 feet (3.0 meters)]

Ensure that any electrical conductor that comes within 10 feet (3.0 meters) of the GMU 44 is installed as a
twisted shielded pair, not a single-wire conductor. (If possible, the shield should be grounded at both ends.)
Use nonmagnetic materials to mount the GMU 44, and replace any magnetic fasteners within 0.5 meter
with nonmagnetic equivalents (e.g. replace zinc-plated steel screws used to mount wing covers or wingtips
with nonmagnetic stainless steel screws.).
In general, wing or tail mounting of the GMU 44 magnetometer is strongly preferred. Fuselage mounting is
strongly discouraged because of numerous potential disturbances that interfere with accurate operation.
For installations with dual GMU 44 magnetometers, co-locating the two magnetometers close to each
other in the tail or one wing is recommended because this reduces the likelihood of heading splits or
miscompares when operating on the ground in the vicinity of local magnetic anomalies.
Mechanical mounting fixtures for the GMU 44 must be rigidly connected to the aircraft structure. Use of
typical aircraft-grade materials and methods for rigid mounting of components is acceptable, so long as
adequate measures are taken to ensure a stiffened mounting structure.
Align the GMU 44 mounting rack to within 3.0° of the aircraft level reference in pitch and roll.

190-01639-00 GSU 75 ADAHRS Installation Manual


Rev. 9 Page 2-8

34-00-95
The GMU 44 must be mounted with its mounting rack’s forward direction aligned in heading to within
2.5° with the forward longitudinal direction of the aircraft. Furthermore, alignment to within 0.5° with the
forward longitudinal direction of the aircraft is strongly preferred. If alignment in heading to within 0.5° is
not possible, it is strongly recommended to complete the post-installation heading offset procedure which
is described in Section 5.6.
It is strongly preferred that the GMU 44 alignment is within 0.5° of the aircraft forward longitudinal
directional, rather than using the heading offset procedure.
2.11.2.1 Consideration for Wing Grounded Lighting Fixtures
The following installation practices are recommended when installing the GMU 44 in a wing.
1. The wing tip lights should not have a power ground referenced to the chassis of the light assembly
that would then be referenced back to the airframe ground via the light assembly mounting.
2. A dedicated power ground should be used and returned as a twisted pair with the power source
back into the fuselage for a wing mounted GMU 44.
These installation practices will prevent magnetically interfering currents from flowing in the wing skin
that encloses the GMU 44. Electrically isolating the light assembly should not be used as an alternative to
item 1 above, unless the isolated light assembly has been analyzed for adequate protection against direct
attachment of lightning.
2.11.2.2 GMU 44 Location Survey Tool
Refer to “AHRS/Magnetometer Installation Considerations” (190-01051-00) for details regarding the
determination/verification of GMU 44 location using the software program GLS (Garmin Location
Survey) Survey Tool. 190-01051-00 contains information that is generally applicable but not specific to
any particular airframe and is available from the Dealer Resource Center at www.garmin.com.

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 storage. 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 Wiring Harness Installation
Allow adequate space for installation of cables and connectors. The installer shall supply and fabricate all
of the cables. All electrical connections to the GSU 75 ADAHRS are made through one 78-pin d-sub
connector (see Figure 4-1). Connections to the GMU 44 Magnetometer are made through a 9-pin
connector (Figure 4-2). Connector detail is shown in Figure 3-2.
Section 4 defines the electrical characteristics of all input and output signals. Required connectors and
associated hardware are supplied with the applicable connector kit (Refer to Section 2.3). See Appendix B
for examples of interconnect wiring diagrams. Construct the actual harnesses in accordance with aircraft
specific approved interconnect diagrams.

Refer to Figure 3-2 for the following instructions. To ensure adequate lightning protection, do not deviate
from this procedure. Refer to Figure 3-3 for GTP 59 mounting information.

1. Prepare surface–The metal body of the OAT sensor MUST be grounded to the aircraft. The instal-
lation requirements vary depending on the material composition of the airframe, the requirements
for aluminum and composite airframes are as follows:
a) Aluminum Airframe: Refer to the appropriate lightning certification document for zone
requirements to determine an acceptable mounting location for the sensor. At the sensor
mounting location, prepare the inside surface of the aircraft. Remove all paint from the
contacting area and clean with an appropriate degreaser.
b) Composite Airframe: Refer to the appropriate lightning certification document for zone
requirements and current levels to determine an acceptable mounting location for the sensor.
If possible, mount the sensor through a grounded metal strap or band. Otherwise, mount the
sensor in an area of the airframe that has a significant amount of underlying metal foil or
mesh. To ensure adequate conductivity for lightning currents, it may be necessary to mount

the sensor through a metal doubler connected with rivets. Another type of fastener that
allows for a path to the conductive part of the airframe may also be used.
2. Install OAT sensor –After the surfaces have been prepared; place the ring terminal (item 2) over
the end of the sensor (item 4). Insert the sensor and ring terminal into the hole in the skin of the
aircraft. Place the washer (item 6) over the end of the sensor on the outside of the aircraft. Thread
the nut (item 5) onto the sensor. Using a deep well socket and torque wrench, along with a 9/16”
open end wrench to hold the body of the sensor, tighten to 100 inch-pounds ± 20 inch-pounds.
3. Route cable–Run the 3-conductor cable (item 3) through the airframe to the location of the GSU
75.
4. Strip jacket and shield–Cut the 3-conductor cable (item 3) to the required length. Strip back 2.0” to
3.5” of jacket while retaining the shield on the 3-conductor cable (item 3). Trim away enough to
leave 0.5” of shield exposed.
5. Install pins onto cable. Strip back approximately 0.17 inches of insulation from each wire of the 3-
conductor cable (item 3) and crimp a pin/socket (item 11) to each conductor. It is the responsibility
of the installer to determine the proper length of insulation to be removed. Wire must be visible in
the inspection hole after crimping and the insulation must be 1/64 – 1/32 inches from the end of
the contact as shown in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1 Insulation to Pin/Socket Clearance

6. Connect 16 AWG pigtail wire (item 8)–Cut a 16 AWG (item 8) wire to 3” long. Strip back 0.5” of
insulation from this wire. Connect the shield of the 3-conductor cable (item 3) to the pigtail wire
(item 8) using an approved shield termination technique. The guidance of FAA advisory circular
AC 43.13 may be a helpful reference for this procedure.
a) Slide a solder sleeve (item 1) onto the prepared wire assembly (items 3 and 8) and shrink
using the heat gun. The chosen size of solder sleeve must accommodate the number of
conductors present in the cable. For this application, the solder sleeve that best fits the
3- conductor cable (item 3) and the 16 AWG pigtail wire (item 8) is M83519/1-4.

Rev. 9 Page 3-5

34-00-95
b) Solder the prepared wire assembly (items 3 and 8). Ensure a solid electrical connection
through the use of acceptable soldering practices. Slide a piece of shrink tube (item 1) onto
the prepared wire assembly and shrink using a heat gun. The chosen size of shrink tube must
accommodate the number of conductors present in the cable.
7. Install ring terminal (item 9)–After stripping an appropriate amount of insulation from the free end
of the 16 AWG pigtail wire (item 8), attach a ring terminal (item 9) to the end.
8. Install pins/sockets into connector (item 12)–Insert newly crimped pins/sockets and wires (items 3
and 11) into the appropriate connector location (item 12) as shown in Figure B-1.
9. Connect the 16 AWG pigtail wire (item 8) to connector (item 12).: Join the ring terminal (item 9)
to the strain relief (item 7) using the screws (item 10) provided in the GSU 75 Connector Kit
(GPN: 011-03109-00). Tighten the screws (item 10).
10. Secure cables– Refer to Figure B-1 to verify that all required pins/sockets have been attached to
the cables and fully inserted into the correct slots of the connector. It is recommended to wrap the
cable bundle with Silicone Fusion Tape (GPN: 249-00114-00 or a similar version) at the point
where the connector strain relief and connector will contact the cable bundle. The smooth side of
the strain relief should contact the tape.

3.6 Pneumatic Connections
The installer is required to fabricate pneumatic hose connections and attach the aircraft pitot pressure
source and aircraft static pressure source to the GSU 75.

NOTE
Check pneumatic connections for errors before operating the GSU 75. Incorrect
plumbing could cause internal component damage. Observe the following cautions when
connecting pneumatic lines.

1. Make sure the aircraft static pressure port is plumbed directly to the unit static pressure input port
and the aircraft pitot pressure port is plumbed directly to the unit pitot pressure input port.
2. Seal the threads of pneumatic fittings at the connector ports. Use caution to ensure there are no
pneumatic leaks.
3. Use care to avoid getting fluids or particles anywhere within the pitot and static lines connected to
the GSU 75.

3.7 Mounting Instructions
3.7.1 GMU 44 Mounting
After ensuring that requirements are met, assemble the GMU 44 mounting plate kits according to the
dimensions given in Appendix A. Install the unit assemblies. Mount the GMU 44 to its mounting plate,
taking care to tighten the mounting screws firmly.
The metal components in the GMU 44's connector may slightly affect the magnetic field sensed by the
GMU 44. Place the connector at least 2 inches from the body of the GMU 44 to minimize this effect.
After attaching the GMU 44's connector to its mate in the aircraft wiring, secure the connector in place
using good installation practices. This will ensure that any remaining magnetic effect can be compensated
for using Calibration Procedure B: Magnetometer Calibration.
If the GMU 44 is ever removed, the anti-rotation properties of the mounting screws must be restored. This
may be done by replacing the screws with new Garmin PN 211-60037-08. If original screws must be re-
used, coat screw threads with Loctite 242 (blue) thread-locking compound, Garmin PN 291-00023-02, or
equivalent.

NOTE
Instructions in this section do not apply to the GMU 44B Magnetometer. Refer to the
GMU 44B Installation Manual for GMU 44B mounting instructions.

NOTE
The GMU 44 must be mounted such that the pitch offset relative to the GSU 75 ADAHRS
mounting is less than 6.0 degrees. Likewise, the roll offset of the GMU 44 mounting
relative to the GSU 75 ADAHRS mounting should also be less than 6.0 degrees. Failure to
meet these specifications may result in a failed magnetometer calibration (Section 5.5).

NOTE
GMU 44 Mounting screws must be brass.

3.8 Post Installation Configuration and Checkout
After the installation is complete, refer to Section 5 for system configuration, calibration, and checkout.

NOTE
The GSU 75 ADAHRS will not provide valid outputs until the post installation calibration
procedures are completed.

3.9 Continued Airworthiness


Per Part 43 Appendix E, paragraph (b)(2), Garmin specifies a test procedure equivalent to Part 43
Appendix E, paragraph (b)(1) with two exceptions. The tests of sub-paragraphs (iv) (Friction) and (vi)
(Barometric Scale Error) are not applicable because the digital outputs of the GSU 75(X) are not
susceptible to these types of errors.
Other than periodic testing as required by 14CFR91.411 and in accordance with Section 3.8 herein,
maintenance of the GSU 75(X) is “on condition” only.
If recalibration of the altimeter is required, refer to Section 6.3 of the Standalone AHRS/ADC Install Tool
Manual (190-01051-01).

4.3.6 CAN Bus


The CAN bus interfaces conform to the BOSCH CAN Bus Specification V2.0. Each CAN bus interface
has an internal bus termination resistor which can be enabled by connecting the interface TERMINATION
pin to the HI pin. This termination resistor must be enabled if the GSU 75 is at the end of the CAN Bus.
When installing CAN Bus interfaces that are intended to be configured for high speed (1 Mbps) operation,
it is strongly recommended that the installer use shielded twisted pair cable with a controlled impedance of
120 Ohms and limit the total length of the CAN bus network to 40 meters (131 ft) or less. See the CAN
Architecture and Installation Practices (190-00313-15) for more information.

4.6 GSU 75 PPS (Pulse Per Second) Inputs
The GSU 75 supports both a single ended and a differential PPS signal from the GPS. The single ended
PPS input accepts a 0/5V CMOS logic-level signal. The differential PPS input conforms to the electrical
specifications of the EIA standard RS- 422 receiver.
PPS SELECT (pin 25) determines which PPS mode is used. PPS SELECT connected to GPS PPS IN 1B
(or 2B) input selects single ended mode. PPS SELECT (pin 25) floating (unconnected) selects differential
mode. The mode is determined by the source of the GPS PPS signals (generally Nav Radios).

4.7 GSU 75 ARINC 429 System ID Connections


The GSU 75 has an associated Source/Destination Identifier (SDI or System ID) that is coded into its
ARINC 429 output messages/labels. The System ID may be used to uniquely distinguish the source of the
GSU 75 ARINC 429 labels in a system with more than one GSU 75. The GSU 75 System ID can be set to
All Call, #1, or #2 for such purposes.
By hard strapping the program pins to ground or open, the GSU 75 is assigned a System ID. The System

5 POST INSTALLATION, CONFIGURATION, AND CHECKOUT
PROCEDURE

CAUTION
Be sure to check all aircraft control movements before flight is attempted to insure
that the wiring harness does not touch any moving part.

NOTE
The following procedures reflect a Garmin Integrated Flight Deck installation.

5.1 Function Selector Switches and Display


There are no operating controls or displays on the GSU 75.
5.2 Post-Installation Calibration Procedures
After mechanical and electrical installation of the GSU 75 AHRS and GMU 44/44B magnetometer have
been completed, prior to operation, a set of post-installation calibration procedures must be carried out.
Table 5-1 describes the necessary calibration procedures:

Calibration Procedure
Procedure Name Installations Requiring Procedure
Procedure Description
Required for initial installation certification.
This test should also be repeated to verify all
subsequent electrical changes associated
with devices within 10.0 feet of the GMU 44/
44B magnetometer. Such changes include,
but are not limited to, wiring, shielding or
grounding changes to any light, strobe,
beacon or other electrical device located near
the GMU 44/44B unit. Likewise, this test
Validate no should also be repeated to verify all
Magnetometer magnetic subsequent changes to materials within 10.0
E
Interference Test interference with feet of the GMU 44/44B. Such changes
GMU 44/44B include, but are not limited to, addition,
removal or modification of ferrous or
electrically conductive materials located near
the GMU 44/44B unit.
Garmin recommends this test be performed
at least once every 12 months by all aircraft
manufacturers on a minimum of one
production aircraft for every airframe type or
model equipped with the Garmin Integrated
Flight Deck system.

If removal and replacement of a GSU 75 or GMU 44/44B unit is required after post-installation calibration
has been completed, the unit mounting racks must not be moved. If the mounting bolts that secure the
GSU 75 mounting racks are loosened for any reason, a new post-installation calibration procedure A-1 (or
A-2, if applicable), B and D (plus C if recommended initially) must be carried out before the aircraft can be
returned to service.
Any GMU 44/44B removal or replacement requires repeating the magnetometer calibration procedure
(Procedure B), and if recommended initially, the heading offset compensation procedure (Procedure C).
Any degaussing of the area near the GMU 44/44B mounting location requires repeating the magnetometer
calibration procedure (Procedure B), and if recommended initially, the heading offset compensation
procedure (Procedure C).
A repeat of the pitch/roll offset procedure (either Procedure A-1 or A-2) requires a repeat of the
magnetometer calibration procedure (Procedure B), and also (if previously recommended) a repeat of the
heading offset compensation procedure (Procedure C).
The addition, removal or modification of components that are ferrous, or otherwise magnetic, within 10.0
feet of the GMU 44/44B magnetometer location after the magnetometer interference test or magnetometer
calibration procedure were completed requires a repeat of both procedures.
Furthermore, electrical changes to the installation that affect components within 10.0 feet of the GMU 44/
44B magnetometer after the magnetometer calibration and magnetometer interference procedures were
completed will require a repeat of the magnetometer interference test. If new magnetic interference is
detected, it must be resolved and then the magnetometer calibration procedure must be repeated. Wiring or
grounding changes associated with a device located in the same wing as the GMU 44/44B is a good
example of such a change.

5.5 Calibration Procedure B: Magnetometer Calibration

NOTES
Calibration Procedure A-1 or A-2 must be successfully completed prior to Calibration
Procedure B. If either Calibration Procedure A-1 or A-2 is repeated, then Procedure B
must also be repeated.
Calibration Procedure B must be carried out at a location that is determined to be free of
magnetic disturbances, such as a compass rose. Attempting to carry out this maneuver on
a typical ramp area will not yield a successful calibration. The accuracy of the AHRS
cannot be guaranteed if this calibration is not performed at a magnetically clean location.
A method for evaluating the magnetic disturbances at a candidate site is described in
Section 5.9.
Taxi the aircraft to a site that has been determined to be free of magnetic disturbances. Ensure that there
are no nearby magnetic materials on or near the perimeter of the site. If unavoidable, maneuver the aircraft
to keep the magnetometer from passing within twenty feet (6.1 meters) of such objects. Additionally
ensure that vehicles or other aircraft are an adequate distance [forty feet (12.2 meters)] away from the
aircraft under test.
At the site, align the aircraft to a heading of magnetic north (5°). The aircraft should be positioned to
enable clockwise turning around the compass rose. For fixed-wing aircraft, it is best to offset the aircraft
position to the left (west) of the North/South axis. For helicopters, it is best to position the aircraft in the
center of the compass rose. These positions are depicted in Figure 5-1

Figure 5-1 Fixed-wing and Helicopter Position Examples

With the aircraft stationary, initiate the GSU 75 AHRS magnetometer calibration procedure as follows:
1. If the MFD and PFD(s) are not both in configuration mode, proceed with Steps 2 through 4. If the
MFD and PFD(s) are already in configuration mode, skip ahead to Step 5.
2. Enter the configuration mode by holding the ENTER key on each display while applying power.
Release the ENTER key when the words INITIALIZING SYSTEM are displayed on each display.
3. On the PFD, turn the FMS large knob clockwise until the GSU Page Group is selected.
4. At the GSU Page Group, turn the small FMS to display the GSU/GMU Calibration page.

190-01639-00 GSU 75 ADAHRS Installation Manual


Rev. 9 Page 5-5

34-00-95
5. The GSU/GMU Calibration page is protected and requires a keystroke password to perform the
calibration. Press the following softkeys in sequence:
a) softkey 9
b) softkey 10
c) softkey 11
d) softkey 12
6. Press the FMS small knob to highlight GSU 75 #1. The FMS small knob can now be turned to
select either GSU 75 #1 or GSU 75 #2 for calibration. Press the ENTER key after selecting the
desired GSU 75 unit to calibrate. The SELECT PROCEDURE field is now blinking.
7. Using the FMS small knob, select MAGNETOMETER and press the ENTER key. If the
MAGNETOMETER selection continues to blinking, press the ENTER key again.
8. Follow the checklist items displayed on the PFD and press the ENTER key as each one is
completed or confirmed. When the CALIBRATE field is blinking, press the ENTER key to begin
the procedure.
9. The PFD advises the operator when to turn the aircraft, when to stop, and when to turn again.
10. FOR FIXED-WING AIRCRAFT - Upon instruction to turn, taxi the aircraft in a right turn. After
approximately 30° of turn from the last heading the PFD instructs the operator to stop the aircraft.
FOR HELICOPTER - Upon instruction to turn, lift the aircraft off the ground and maintain a level
orientation. While the aircraft is hovering, make a heading change of approximately 30° to the
right (i.e., clockwise). After turning by approximately 30°, the aircraft should be set back down on
the ground.

NOTE
Due to the difficulties in executing smooth, accurate turns the PFD may incorrectly
interpret a station and instruct to “HOLD POSITION” prior to full completion of a 30
turn. If this scenario is encountered, it is best for the operator to ignore the “HOLD
POSITION” command and instead use outside references to complete the approximate
30 of turn. Instead of using the PFD instruction to turn as a real-time indication of when
to turn, simply judge the 30° (±5°) turn increments of the aircraft by using the compass
rose radials. Dwelling at these 30 increments for the time recommended by the PFD
should result in successful calibration.
11. The PFD guides the operator to dwell at multiple headings around a complete circle.

NOTE
Due to high winds or excessive airframe vibration, the operator may encounter a
condition where the PFD restarts the 18-second countdown without full completion of the
previous countdown. If this is encountered more than once for a given station, the
operator should begin turning to the next station (approximately 30). A minimum of 2
successful stations per quadrant is required, where a successful station is a full 18-second
countdown followed by instruction to move. Ensure that if stations are skipped, at least a
minimum of 2 stations per quadrant are completed. Thus, it may sometimes be required to
dwell at a station after a countdown restart. A maximum of 30 stations is allowed for the
entire calibration procedure. If too many countdown restarts are encountered, the
calibration will fail with the message, “TOO MANY STATIONS.”
12. Repeat the turn-and-stop process until the PFD instructs the operator that a successful calibration
is complete.

Rev. 9 Page 5-6

34-00-95
13. Press the ENTER key on the PFD to conclude this procedure.

NOTE
A magnetometer calibration failure is indicated by a “Calibration Error” message. In the
event of a failure, verify that the installation passes the Magnetometer Interference Test
(Section 5.8), verify the relative orientation of the GSU 75 relative to the GMU 44 (see
Section 3.7), (refer to GMU 44B Installation Manual for GMU 44B orientation) and (if
needed) move the aircraft to a different location and attempt the magnetic calibration
again.
5.6 Calibration Procedure C: Heading Offset Compensation

NOTE
Calibration Procedures A and B must have been successfully completed before
Calibration Procedure C can be performed. This procedure is strongly recommended only
if the GMU 44/44B is not installed to within 0.5° of the aircraft forward longitudinal
direction.
This procedure is strongly recommended only when the GMU 44/44B Magnetometer has not been
installed to within 0.5° of the aircraft forward longitudinal direction. For calibration accuracy, maneuver
the aircraft with assistance from outside the cockpit to precisely align the aircraft to cardinal compass
heading reference lines on the compass rose.
In order to accomplish the necessary degree of accuracy in heading alignment, it is generally required that
the aircraft be physically towed by hand. Towing tugs should not be used as they distort the magnetic field
in their vicinity.
1. Initiate the AHRS heading offset calibration mode by performing the following steps:
a) If the PFD is not displaying the GSU/GMU CALIBRATION configuration page, follow
steps from calibration procedure A-1 listed previously.
b) The FMS small knob can now be used to select which calibration/validation procedure to
run. Select HEADING OFFSET, then press the ENTER key. If the HEADING OFFSET
selection is still blinking, press the ENTER key again.
c) Follow the checklist items displayed on the PFD and press the ENTER key as each one is
completed or confirmed. When the CALIBRATE field is blinking press the ENTER key to
begin the procedure.
2. The PFD display advises the operator when to turn the aircraft to a cardinal heading, when to stop,
and when to turn to another heading. During the procedure, the operator turns to magnetic
headings of 360, 090, 180, and 270 degrees, within a tolerance of 0.25°.

NOTE
A tolerance of 0.5° can be used if 0.25° is not achievable.
3. Maneuver the aircraft with the longitudinal axis aligned with the desired heading line of the
compass rose.
4. The operator must confirm each aircraft heading. Press the ENTER key to confirm. The
CONFIRM HEADING field stops blinking.
5. The PFD informs the operator of the calibration results. Press the ENTER key on the PFD to
conclude this procedure.

5.7 Calibration Procedure D: Engine Run-Up Vibration Test

NOTE
Calibration Procedure D is required for all installations to validate the vibration
characteristics of the installation. Calibration Procedures A-1 through C are not required
prior to this procedure.

1. Initiate the AHRS engine run-up vibration test procedure by performing the following steps:
a) If the PFD is not displaying the GSU/GMU CALIBRATION configuration page, follow
steps from calibration procedure A-1 listed previously.
b) The FMS small knob can now be used to select which calibration/validation procedure to
run. Select ENGINE RUN-UP TEST and press the ENTER key. If the ENGINE RUN-UP
TEST selection is still blinking, press the ENTER key again.
c) Follow the checklist items displayed on the PFD, and press the ENTER key as each one is
completed or confirmed. When the CALIBRATE field is blinking, press the ENTER key to
begin the procedure.
2. The PFD display instructs the operator to gradually increase power from idle to full throttle and
back to idle over the course of a couple of minutes.
3. When the operator has completed the engine run-up and the engine is back to an idle setting, press
the ENTER key to indicate that the process is complete. When this is done, the TEST
COMPLETE field stops blinking.
4. The PFD informs the operator if the installation has passed or failed the vibration test. If the test
fails, the specific measurements causing the failure are identified and numeric values are displayed
on the PFD. Use the FMS small knob to scroll through and view the entire list of failed
measurements.
If failures are indicated, the engine run-up test may be repeated up to three times. If the test does not pass
after three attempts, then the installation should be considered unreliable until the source of the vibration
problem is identified and remedied.
When the engine run-up test fails repeatedly, record the values that are reported to be out of range for
future reference.

190-01639-00 GSU 75 ADAHRS Installation Manual


Rev. 9 Page 5-8

34-00-95
The following are potential causes for failure of the engine run-up test:
a) Excessive flexibility of GSU 75 and/or GMU 44/44B mechanical mounting with respect to
airframe (See Section 2.11).
b) Vibrational motion of GSU 75 and/or GMU 44/44B caused by neighboring equipment and/
or supports.
c) Mounting of GSU 75 at a location that is subject to severe vibrations (example; close to an
engine mount.)
d) Mounting screws and other hardware for GSU 75 and/or GMU 44/44B not firmly attached.
e) Absence of mounting supports recommended by the aircraft manufacturer.
f) GSU 75 connector not firmly attached to unit.
g) Cabling leading to GSU 75 or GMU 44/44B not firmly secured to supporting structure.
h) An engine/propeller combination that is significantly out of balance.
In some aircraft, attempting the engine runup test on a day with very strong and/or gusty winds may cause
the test to occasionally fail. However, windy conditions should not be taken as evidence that the test
would pass in calm conditions; an actual pass is required before the installation can be considered
adequate.
5. Press the ENTER key on the PFD to conclude this procedure.

5.8 Calibration Procedure E: Magnetometer Interference Test

NOTE
Calibration Procedure E is required for initial installation certification. This test should
also be repeated to verify all subsequent electrical changes associated with devices within
10.0 feet of the GMU 44/44B magnetometer. Such changes include, but are not limited to,
wiring, shielding or grounding changes to any light, strobe, beacon or other electrical
device located in the same wing as a GMU 44/44B unit. Likewise, this test should also be
repeated to verify all subsequent changes to materials within 10.0 feet of the GMU 44/
44B. Such changes include, but are not limited to, addition, removal or modification of
ferrous or electrically conductive materials located in the same wing as a GMU 44/44B
unit. This procedure validates that no electronic device is interfering with the operation of
the GMU 44/44B magnetometer which directly impacts the determination of attitude and
heading by the GSU 75 AHRS. Calibration Procedures A-1 through D are not required
prior to this execution of this procedure.

NOTE
Garmin recommends this test be performed at least once every 12 months by all aircraft
manufacturers on a minimum of one production aircraft for every airframe type or model
equipped with the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck system.

1. Initiate the AHRS magnetometer interference test procedure by performing the following steps:
a) If the PFD is not displaying the GSU/GMU CALIBRATION configuration page, follow
steps from calibration procedure A-1.
b) The FMS small knob can now be used to select which calibration/validation procedure to
run. Select MAG INTERFERENCE TEST and press the ENTER key. If the MAG
INTERFERENCE TEST selection is still blinking, press the ENTER key again.
c) Follow the checklist items displayed on the PFD, and press the ENTER key as each one is
completed or confirmed.

NOTE
The third item on the checklist instructs the operator to prepare a detailed test sequence
list with precise start and stop times for exercising all electronic devices. Only the
electronic devices that are likely to affect the operation of the GMU 44/44B magnetometer
need be included in the test sequence. The list of relevant electronic devices varies from
aircraft to aircraft. An example of an appropriate test sequence for both a fixed-wing
aircraft and a helicopter is given in Table 5-2 and Table 5-3.

d) When the CALIBRATE field is blinking, press the ENTER key to begin the procedure, and
have a stopwatch ready to begin recording the elapsed time.

NOTE
It is important that the “time equals zero” moment corresponds with the moment the PFD
first displays the blinking TEST COMPLETE message.

2. The operator should carry out the actions called for in the prepared test sequence.

190-01639-00 GSU 75 ADAHRS Installation Manual


Rev. 9 Page 5-12

34-00-95
NOTE
It is important that all actions are carried out in the order and at the precise elapsed time
as specified in the prepared test sequence.

3. When the operator has completed the actions specified in the test sequence, press the ENTER key
to indicate that the process is complete. When this is done, the TEST COMPLETE field stops
blinking.
4. The PFD informs the operator if the installation has passed or failed the magnetometer interference
test. If the test passes, no further action is required for this test.
If the test fails, the installation should be considered unreliable until the source of magnetic
interference is identified and remedied. The magnetometer interference test must be repeated until
passed. Record the three magnetometer maximum deviation values and their corresponding
timestamps from the failed magnetometer interference tests. Compare the corresponding
timestamps with the prepared test sequence to identify which action produced the problem.
Contact Garmin for assistance in resolving the problem.
The acceptable magnetic interference limits are defined as follows according to the system
software part number 006-B1068-00.
Square root of ((Mx/12.0)2 + (My/12.0)2 + (Mz/16.0)2) <0.6 for fixed wing configuration
Square root of ((Mx/12.0)2 + (My/12.0)2 + (Mz/16.0)2) <1.0 for rotor configuration
Where:
Mx = magnetic interference in X-axis (in milliGauss)
My = magnetic interference in Y-axis (in milliGauss)
Mz = magnetic interference in Z-axis (in milliGauss)

NOTE
Two common reasons for a failed magnetometer interference test are:

a) New equipment is installed in close proximity to the GMU 44/44B magnetometer


b) An existing or new electronic device has become grounded through the aircraft structure
instead of via the proper ground wire in a twisted shielded pair.

5.9 Site Evaluation of Magnetic Disturbances for Magnetometer Calibration
Procedure
As mentioned in Section 5, the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure (Calibration Procedure B) must be
carried out at a site that is determined to be free of magnetic disturbances.

NOTE
Typically, a compass rose is an acceptable location to perform the magnetometer
calibration procedure. However, because not all compass roses are well maintained, even
an existing compass rose should be regularly evaluated using the method described here
to determine if it is free of magnetic disturbances. If evaluation of an existing compass
rose indicates that magnetic disturbances are present, then an alternative location must be
found to perform the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure.

A Garmin Integrated Flight Deck-equipped airplane can be used to evaluate a candidate site for magnetic
disturbances and determine whether it is a suitable location to perform the magnetometer calibration
procedure. The magnetometer calibration procedure itself contains the logic to simultaneously survey the
location for magnetic cleanliness while it is computing the magnetometer calibration parameters.
The Garmin Integrated Flight Deck-equipped airplane installation used to evaluate the site must have
already completed the pitch/roll offset compensation procedure (Procedure A-1). However, prior
completion of the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure (Procedure B) is not required.
In order to evaluate a candidate site, the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure must be performed twice:
once turning clockwise around the site, and once turning counter-clockwise. Both times, the procedure
should be conducted as described in Section 5 of this document, with the exception of the direction of turns
around the site.

NOTE
Although Section 5 indicates that the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure should be
performed by making a series of clockwise turns around the site, the procedure can also be
performed by making counter-clockwise turns for the purpose of evaluating the site for
magnetic disturbances.

If, upon completion of the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure in both the clockwise and counter-
clockwise directions, the PFD displays the “CALIBRATION SUCCESSFUL / SITE IS CLEAN” message,
then the candidate site is sufficiently free of magnetic disturbances and is acceptable for performing the
Magnetometer Calibration Procedure. It is important to perform the procedure in both the clockwise and
counter-clockwise directions to ensure that the magnetometer sweeps over a large enough area at the
candidate site.

If, upon completion of the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure in either of the two directions, the PFD
displays either the “MAG FIELD AT SITE NOT UNIFORM”, or “MAG FIELD AT SITE DIFFERS
FROM IGRF MODEL” message, then the site contains magnetic disturbances that are too large.

NOTE
The Magnetometer Calibration Procedure must consistently report “CALIBRATION
SUCCESSFUL / SITE IS CLEAN” in both the clockwise and counter-clockwise directions
for the site to be considered acceptable. More than one failure out of ten attempts in a
given direction would be sufficient reason to conclude the site is not acceptable.

A site that is used repeatedly to perform the Magnetometer Calibration Procedure should be re-evaluated
every 12 months, and after any significant construction or placement of magnetic objects (above or below
ground) within 50 meters of the location.

NOTES:
1. ALL WIRES 24 AWG OR LARGER UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
2. FOR 14 VDC INSTALLATIONS, THE USE OF TWO AIRCRAFT POWER AND TWO AIRCRAFT GROUND CONTACTS IN THE CONNECTOR IS RECOMMENDED
FOR EACH POWER BUS CONNECTION. 28 VDC INSTALLATIONS ONLY REQUIRE ONE AIRCRAFT POWER AND ONE AIRCRAFT GROUND CONTACT IN THE
CONNECTOR FOR EACH POWER BUS CONNECTION.
3. IN SOME CASES, A LARGER GAUGE WIRE SUCH AS #18 OR #20 AWG WIRE MAY BE USED FOR POWER CONNECTIONS. SPECIAL THIN-WALL HEATSHRINK
TUBING IS PROVIDED TO INSULATE THE EXTENDED BARRELS INSIDE THE BACKSHELL. IF #18 BARREL CONTACTS ARE USED, ENSURE THAT NO TWO
CONTACTS ARE MOUNTED DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER, THIS MINIMIZES THE RISK OF CONTACTS TOUCHING EACH OTHER AND SHORTING TO
ADJACENT PINS AND TO GROUND.
