GMA 240 Installation Manual Page 3-1190-00917-01 Rev. A3 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE3.1 Unpacking UnitCarefully unpack the equipment and make a visual inspection of the unit for evidence of damage incurredduring shipment. If the unit is damaged, notify the carrier and file a claim. To justify a claim, save theoriginal shipping container and all packing materials. Do not return the unit to Garmin until the carrierhas authorized the claim.Retain the original shipping containers for storage. If the original containers are not available, a separatecardboard container should be prepared that is large enough to accommodate sufficient packing materialto prevent movement.3.2 Electrical ConnectionsAll electrical connections to the GMA 240 are made through two 44-pin D-subminiature connectors (seeFigure 3-1). Section 4 defines the electrical characteristics of all input and output signals. Requiredconnector and associated hardware are supplied in the connector kit (P/N 011-00652-00). See AppendixB for interconnect wiring diagrams.Check wiring connections for errors before inserting the GMA 240 into the rack. Incorrect wiring couldcause internal component damage.Table 3-1.

Non-Garmin part numbers shown are not maintained by Garmin and consequently are subjectto change without notice.2. Extracting the #16, #18 and #20 contact requires that the expanded wire barrel be cut off fromthe contact. It may also be necessary to push the pin out from the face of the connector whenusing an extractor due to the absence of the wire. A new contact must be used whenreassembling the connector.3.
