1.3 LICENCE REQUIREMENTS

If any of these devices are used in home or in office, connected to a personal computer,

then the below 4 paragraphs are applicable.

These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC limits for Class B digital devices. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

Av. Kit Install. Manual

190-00067-62 Rev. E

Page 8

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to other equipment, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference

by relocating the equipment or connecting the equipment to a different circuit

than the affected equipment. Consult an authorized dealer or other qualified

avionics service technician for additional help if these remedies do not correct the

problem. These devices comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject

to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,

and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation.

These units do not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be

made by an authorized GARMIN service center. Unauthorized repairs or

modifications could void your warranty and your authority to operate this device

under Part 15 Regulations.

FCC requires GARMIN to inform users that these units meet the more stringent

requirements For Home or Office Use.

The following guidance is provided to help ensure the proper licensing of the GNC 250

and GNC 250XL COMM.

1) Telecommunications Act of 1996 effective February 8, 1996 provides the FCC

discretion to eliminate radio station license requirements for aircraft. At present,

and individual license to operate the GNC 250XL and GNC 250 aboard a private

aircraft is not needed in many circumstances. Please see FCC Fact Sheet PR5000

or contact the FCC at 800 322-1117 for more information.

2) No license change is required for an aircraft which already has a station license

per FCC 404 Instructions dated 1994.

3) If an aircraft license is required or desired contact the FCC at 800 322-1117 to

request FCC form 404, Application for Aircraft Radio Station License to apply for

FCC authorization. FCC also has a Fax on Demand service to provide forms by

fax at 202-418-0177.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Careful planning and consideration of the suggestions in this section are required to

achieve the desired performance and reliability from the UNIT.

2.1 ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS

2.1.1 GPS ANTENNA LOCATION

The UNITS GA 56 Antenna must be mounted on top of the aircraft. For best

performance select a location with an unobstructed view of the sky above the aircraft

when in level flight. Figure 2-1 illustrates a typical GPS antenna installation.

Av. Kit Install. Manual

190-00067-62 Rev. E

Page 9

For rotorcraft, locate the GA 56 antenna:

1) As far from the main rotor hub as possible. This reduces the percentage of time

the blade blocks the antenna.

2) As far below the blade surface as possible if installing the antenna under the blade.

This reduces signal distortion caused by the blades.

The antenna should be located at least 3 feet from transmitting antennas such as VHF

Comm, HF transmitter, DME, Transponder, and Radar.

2.1.2 COMM ANTENNA LOCATION (GNC 250/GNC 250XL only)

The COMM antenna should be well removed from all projections, engines and

propellers. The ground plane surface directly below the antenna should be a flat plane

over as large an area as possible (18 inches square minimum).

The antenna should be mounted a minimum of 6 feet away from any DME antennas,

4 feet from any ADF sense antennas, and a minimum of 3 feet from the UNITS and

its GPS antenna.

The UNITS COMM antenna connector is specified to have installed GPN 330-00067-

00 (1.57542 GHz notch filter) to minimize interfering harmonics.

2.1.3 ELECTRICAL BONDING

No special precautions need to be taken to provide a bonding path between the GPS

antenna and the aircraft structure.

Follow the manufacturers instructions for the COMM antenna. (GNC 250/GNC

250XL only)

2.1.4 ANTENNA LIMITATIONS

GARMIN'S GA 56 Antennas are recommended for installations where the airspeed of

the aircraft will be subsonic.

See the COMM antenna specification for its limitations. (GNC 250/GNC 250XL only)

2.1.5 VHF COMM INTERFERENCE OF GPS

On many panel-mounted aircraft, VHF COMM's can radiate strong harmonics from

both the comm itself and its antenna. The GNC 250/GNC 250XL COMM section will

not interfere with its GPS section. However, placement of the UNITS GPS antenna

relative to all COMM's and COMM antenna, including its own, is critical.

Use the following guidelines, in addition to others in this document, when locating

the UNIT and its antennas.

Av. Kit Install. Manual

190-00067-62 Rev. E

Page 10

GPS Antenna: Locate as far as possible from all COMM antennas and all

COMMs (including the GNC 250/GNC 250XL). The GPS

antenna will be much less sensitive to COMM antennas

that use a 1.57542 GHz notch filter.

UNIT: Locate as far as possible from all COMM antennas.

If a COMM antenna is found to be the problem, a 1.57542 GHz notch filter (GPN 330-

00067-00) may be installed in the VHF COMM coax, as close to the COMM as possible.

This filter (GPN 330-00067-00) is required for the GNC 250/GNC 250XL transmitter.

If a COMM is found to be radiating, the following can be done:

1) Replace or clean VHF COMM rack connector to assure good coax ground.

2) Place a grounding brace between the GNC 250/GNC 250XL/GPS 150XL,

VHF COMM, and ground.

3) Shield the VHF COMM wiring harness.

2.1.6 COMM ANTENNA INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (GNC 250/GNC 250XL only)

The COMM antenna should be installed according to the manufacturer's

recommendations.

2.2 RACK CONSIDERATIONS

2.2.1 ACCESSIBILITY

Plan a location which gives the pilot complete and comfortable access to the entire

keypad and which is plainly visible from the pilots perspective. Check that there is

adequate depth for the rack in the instrument panel. A location away from heating

vents or other sources of heat generation is optimal. Figure 2-2 illustrates a typical

aviation rack installation.

2.3 CABLING AND WIRING

The recommended antenna cable type for both antennas is M17/155-0001 (RG-58A/

U) per MIL-C-17. Maximum allowable length for the GPS antenna using this cable

type is 40 feet. Other cable types with 50 ohms nominal impedance and longer lengths

can be used for the GPS antenna, provided the installer insures that the attenuation

does not exceed 10dB at 1.5 GHz for the specific installation. Check that there is

ample space for the cabling and mating connectors. Avoid sharp bends in cabling,

particularly the COMM antenna cable (GNC 250/GNC 250XL only), and routing near

aircraft control cables.

Cabling for the UNIT should not be routed near components or cabling which are

sources of electrical noise.
