1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
This manual presents mechanical and electrical installation requirements for installing the various versions
of the Garmin GTX 33 Mode S Transponder. These versions include all GTX 33, GTX 33D, GTX 33H,
and GTX 33DH units with or without Extended Squitter Enabled; as part of a Garmin Integrated Flight
Deck. Throughout this manual, the term GTX 33 applies to all versions of the GTX 33 and GTX 33D
unless specifically stated otherwise.
The GTX 33 can also be incorporated as a remote mounted unit in installations with other compatible
control/display units such as the Garmin GNS 480 (CNX80), GTN 6XX/7XX, and GMX 200 (MX20)
Multifunction Display (MFD).
1.2 Equipment Description
The Garmin GTX 33 rack mounted Mode S Transponder is a radio transmitter and receiver that operates
on radar frequencies, receiving ground radar and TCAS interrogations at 1030 MHz and transmitting a
coded response of pulses on a frequency of 1090 MHz. The GTX 33 is equipped with IDENT capability
that activates the Special Position Identification (SPI) pulse for 18 seconds.
The GTX 33 replies to Mode A, Mode C and Mode S interrogation. Mode A replies consist of framing
pulses and any one of 4,096 codes, which differ in the position and number of pulses transmitted. Mode C
replies include framing pulses and encoded altitude.
The GTX 33 with Extended Squitter Enabled provides Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast
(ADS-B) technology that improves situational awareness and flight safety. With ADS-B capabilities,
position, velocity, and heading information are automatically transmitted to other aircraft and ground
stations. The current air traffic control system depends on the transmission of interrogations for pertinent
aircraft information at a slower update rate. ADS-B provides immediate surveillance of air-to-air traffic
and aircraft in remote or inhospitable areas not currently covered by radar.
Ground stations can interrogate Mode S Transponders individually using a 24-bit ICAO Mode S address,
which is unique to the particular aircraft. In addition, ground stations may interrogate a GTX 33 for its
Transponder data capability and the aircraft's Flight ID, which is the registration number or other call sign.
The GTX 33 makes the maximum airspeed capability (set during configuration setup) available to TCAS
systems on-board nearby aircraft to aid in the determination of TCAS advisories.
The unit features an altitude monitor and TIS traffic advisories. A voice or tone audio output announces
altitude and traffic alerts. The GDU Primary Flight Display screen displays the code, reply symbol and
mode of operation, depending on equipment connections and configuration selection. The GNS 480
(CNX80), GTN 6XX/7XX, and GMX 200 (MX20) MFD provide similar information with the addition of
pressure altitude.
The GTX 33 features multiple transmit/receive ARINC 429 and RS-232 data ports. The unit concentrates
data from three ARINC 429 inputs, gray code, RS-232 input data and discrete inputs to the high-speed
RS-232 data ports for display on the flight displays. Although multiple output capability is available, the
unit is designed to feed all outgoing data via RS-232 data ports. Two RS-232 data ports send and receive
data to/from the GIA 63(W) Integrated Avionics Units (IAU), GNS 480 (CNX80), GTN 6XX/7XX, or
GMX 200 (MX20) Multifunction Display.

Rev. F Page 1-1

Provision is made for unit software upgrade by means of RS-232 data through rear connector pins. In
installations where the transponder interfaces with a GNS 480 (CNX80) or GTN 6XX/7XX the installation
of an optional connector is highly recommended. If the optional connector is placed in the aircraft,
transponder removal and reinstallation for software upgrade is not required. The software can be changed
while the unit is still mounted inside the aircraft.
The GTX 33 meets Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (EHS) requirements. Mode S Enhanced Surveillance is
used predominantly in European airspace. It provides information consisting of additional aircraft
parameters (see JAA NPA 20-12a) to ground radar systems. Compliance with Enhanced Surveillance may
require additional interface between aircraft systems and the GTX 33.
The GTX 33 and GTX 33D differ from the GTX 33H and GTX 33DH in the qualified DO-160 vibration
categories. See the GTX 33 Environmental Qualification Form (005-00131-03) for details.
1.3 ADS-B Capabilities
The Extended Squitter Enabled GTX 33 provides the capabilities of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-
Broadcast (ADS-B) technology, which improves situational awareness and flight safety. With ADS-B
capabilities, position, velocity, and heading information are automatically transmitted to other aircraft and
ground stations. The current air traffic control system depends on a transponder request for pertinent
aircraft information. ADS-B provides automatic transmission of aircraft information without a request.
NOTE
RS-232 ADS-B Out from a Garmin 400/500 Series WAAS unit with main software version
3.20 or later, or a GPS WAAS source that supports ARINC 743A output is required to
support ADS-B transmissions.
1.3.1 ADS-B Versions

There are three distinct ADS-B versions recognized by regulatory authorities. As show in the table below,
the Garmin GTX 33 w/ES currently supports ADS-B Out 1090MHz Extended Squitter capability meeting
‘Version 1’ ADS-B system requirements.
NOTE
GTX 33 w/ES transponders with software version 6.20 or earlier are not compliant with
ADS-B version required by the 14 CFR 91.225(a) equipage mandate.
Table 1-1. ADS-B Versions
ADS-B GTX 33 w/ES Regulatory Standard/Minimum Performance

Version Compliant Specification
Version 0 No Equipment designed to TSO-166 / RTCA DO-260
Version 1 Yes Equipment designed to TSO-166a / RTCA DO-260A
Version 2* No Equipment designed to TSO-166b / RTCA DO-260B
* Version required by 2020 ADS-B mandate defined in 14 CFR 91.225

Page 1-2 Rev. F

1.3.1.1 Installation Approval of Version 1 ADS-B Systems
According to AIR-130 Policy Memo ‘Approval for ADS-B Out Systems’, dated August 30, 2010, the FAA
has suspended field approvals of Version 2 ADS-B Out equipment. At the time of this publication, there is
currently no FAA policy addressing field approvals of Version 0 or Version 1 systems. GTX 33 w/ES
transponders with Version 1 ADS-B remain eligible for field approval.
There are three options for installers wanting to install GTX 33 w/ES transponders:
1. Installers may elect to disable the ADS-B Extended Squitter function, as described in Section
5.2.16, until the ADS-B Version 2 compliant software update is available from Garmin.
2. Installers may obtain a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the GTX 33 with the
Version 1 ADS-B Extended Squitter activated.
3. Installers may obtain a field approval with the Version 1 ADS-B Extended Squitter activated.
EASA AMC 20-24 compliance matrix provided in Appendix B may be used to assist installers in
showing compliance to the AMC requirements. This data together with Form 337 may be used for
approval by the appropriate FSDO inspector.
1.4 TIS System Capabilities
Traffic Information Service (TIS) provides a graphic display of traffic advisory information in the cockpit
for non-TCAS equipped aircraft.
TIS is a ground-based service providing relative location of all transponder equipped aircraft within a
specified service volume. The TIS ground sensor uses real time track reports to generate traffic
notification.
Traffic display is available to aircraft equipped with a Mode S data link such as the Garmin GTX 33
transponder. Traffic can then be displayed on a Garmin GDU Primary Flight Display, GMX 200 (MX20)
Multifunction Display, GNS 480 (CNX80), GTN 6XX/7XX or other compatible display unit.
Surveillance data includes all transponder equipped aircraft within the coverage volume. Aircraft without
an operating transponder are invisible to TIS. TIS displays traffic within seven nautical miles from 3000
feet below to 3500 feet above the requesting aircraft.
1.5 Mutual Suppression Pulses
Other equipment on board the aircraft may transmit in the same frequency band as the transponder, such as
DME or another transponder. Mutual suppression is a synchronous pulse that is sent to the other equipment
to suppress transmission of a competing transmitter for the duration of the pulse train transmission. The
transponder transmission is suppressed by an external source and other equipment on board is suppressed
by the GTX 33 transponder. This feature is designed to limit mutual interference.

2.2.2 Additional Equipment Required
The following installation accessories are required but not provided:
• Cables – The installer will supply all system cables including circuit breakers. Cable requirements
and fabrication is detailed in Section 3 of this manual.
• Hardware – #6-32 x 100° Flathead SS Screw [(MS24693, AN507R or other approved fastener)
(4 ea.)] for horizontal mounting of the remote stand-alone rack.
• Hardware – #8-32 Panhead Machine Screw [(MS35206, AN526 or other approved fastener)
(4 ea.)] for vertical mounting of the remote stand-alone rack for GTX 33 and GTX 33D.
• Hardware – #8 x 100° Flathead Machine Screw [(see install drawing in Appendix C for more
detail) (4 ea.)] for mounting of the remote stand-alone rack for GTX 33H and GTX 33DH.
• Encoding Altitude Digitizer – For GNS 480 (CNX80), GTN 6XX/7XX, and GMX 200 (MX20)
installation. Use encoding altimeter manufacturer’s instructions. The Garmin GAE 43 (Garmin
P/N 013-00066-00) can provide altitude data in either serial or parallel gray code format.
2.3 Installation Considerations
In a Garmin Integrated Flight Deck, the GTX 33 interfaces with both GIA units. Optional available
discrete line interfaces are shown in Section 4.5 Discrete Functions.
2.3.1 Preservation of Previous Systems
It is the installer’s responsibility to preserve the essential characteristic of the aircraft being modified with
this equipment to be in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer’s original design. This includes the
preservation of multiple power buses, which reduces the probability of interrupting power to essential
instruments and avionics.

Rev. F Page 2-3

2.3.2 Antenna Location Considerations
Antenna mounting should utilize the aircraft manufacturer’s Type Certificated antenna location and style
of antenna. If a second (diversity) antenna is installed in the aircraft, considerations for its mounting should
be made as outlined in Figure 2-1. The antenna installation should be installed in accordance with
AC 43.12-2A Chapter 3. Note that penetration of the pressure vessel on the pressurized aircraft requires
additional data not contained in this manual. (See Section 2.5)
Figure 2-1. Antenna Installation Considerations
• The antenna(s) (Garmin P/N 010-010160-00) or equivalent should be mounted away from major
protrusions, such as engine(s), propeller(s), and antenna masts. It should also be as far as
practical from landing gear doors, access doors, or other openings that could affect the radiation
pattern.
• The main antenna should be mounted vertically on the bottom of the aircraft. The optional
second (diversity) antenna should be mounted vertically on top of the aircraft. Horizontal
separation must be no more than 7.6 meters (25 feet).
• Avoid mounting the antenna within three feet of the ADF sense antenna or any other
communication antenna and six feet from the DME antenna.
• To prevent RF interference, the antenna must be physically mounted a minimum distance of three
feet from the GTX 33.
NOTE
If the antenna is being installed on a composite aircraft, sufficient ground plane material
must be added. Conductive wire mesh, radials, or thin aluminum sheets embedded in the
composite material provide the proper ground plane allowing the antenna gain pattern to
be maximized for optimum transponder performance.

Page 2-4 Rev. F

2.4 Cabling and Wiring
Refer to the interconnect examples in Appendix D for wire gauge guidance.
For special installations that require the use of #18 or #20 AWG wire for power connections, the provided
connector kit supplies extended barrel contacts for AWG #18 wire. Special thin-wall heat shrink tubing is
also provided to insulate the extended barrels inside the backshell. 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, 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.
The GTX 33 and GTX 33D back-plate assemblies utilize BNC-type (bayonet connection) coaxial
connectors. The GTX 33H and GTX 33DH back-plate assemblies utilize TNC-type (threaded connection)
coaxial connectors.
The following table lists examples of the recommended antenna cable vendors and the type of cable to be
used for specific lengths of cable. Any cable meeting specifications is acceptable for the installation.
The maximum coaxial cable attenuation at 1090 MHz must not exceed 1.5 dB, including connectors. In the
diversity installation the cable loss characteristics must be the same within ±0.1 dB (cables within 4 inches
of the same length will have less than 0.1 dB difference in their loss characteristics).
The following table is for reference only, and lists some suitable cable types, along with the maximum
length based on an assumed loss figure of 0.2 dB per connector. Any 50 Ω, double shielded coaxial cable
assembly that meets airworthiness requirements and the 1.5 dB maximum loss figure (including
connectors) may be used.

2.4.1 Cable Routing Considerations
When routing antenna cables, observe the following precautions:
• All cable routing should be kept as short and as direct as possible
• Avoid sharp bends
• Avoid routing cables near power sources (e.g., 400 Hz generators, trim motors, etc.) or near power
for fluorescent lighting
• Avoid routing antenna cables near ADF antenna cable (allow at least a 12-inch separation)
2.5 Installation Approval Considerations for Pressurized Aircraft
Antenna and 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. Use of existing bulkhead
connectors previously approved by other means is permissible without additional approval.
For needed engineering support pertaining to the design and approval of such pressurized aircraft antenna
installations, it is recommended that the installer proceed according to any of the following listed options:
1. Obtain approved antenna installation design data from the aircraft manufacturer.
2. Obtain an FAA approved Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) pertaining to and valid for the
subject antenna 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 pre-
pare and approve the required antenna installation engineering data.
4. Obtain FAA Advisory Circular AC-183C and select (and contact) a DER from the roster of indi-
viduals identified thereunder.
5. Contact an aviation industry organization such as the Aircraft Electronics Association and request
their assistance.
2.6 Cooling Air
Refer to the G1000 System Installation manual, Garmin part number 190-00303-00, for information on
cooling requirements. For remote mounted units, forced air cooling is not required. However, the
application of forced air cooling is recommended to provide beneficial cooling if the unit is located in a
confined space or near a source of heat.
A 5/8 inch air fitting is provided on the rear of the backplate for the purpose of admitting cooling air under
such conditions. If a form of forced air cooling is installed, make certain that rainwater or condensation
cannot enter and be sprayed on the equipment.

Page 2-6 Rev. F

2.7 GTX 33 Mounting Requirements
The GTX 33 mounting surface must be capable of providing structural support and electrical bond to the
aircraft to minimize radiated EMI and provide protection from High-Intensity Radiation Fields (HIRF).
The GTX 33 and GTX 33D can be mounted using the G1000 main system rack, or may be mounted
remotely if desired. Figure 2-2 shows the GTX 33 G1000 unit rack. The unit rack is fastened to the main
system rack using the nutplate kit listed in Section 2.2.1. Refer to Figure B-2, GTX 33 Connector/Rack
Assembly Drawing, for nutplate placement locations. The installer must provide any additional remote
mounting equipment.
2.7.1 Remote Mounted Stand-Alone Rack Considerations
Figure 2-3, Figure B-3, and Figure B-4 show the GTX 33 remote mounted stand-alone racks. The remote
racks can be installed in a variety of locations, such as the electronics bay, under a seat or on an avionics
shelf behind the rear baggage area. Refer to Figure 2-5 for suggested location. Leave sufficient clearance
between the GTX 33 and any obstruction. Install the rack in accordance with AC 43.13-2B Chapter 2
“Communication, Navigation, and Emergency Locator Transmitter System Installations”. The rack should
be mounted to a surface known to have sufficient structural integrity to withstand additional inertia forces
imposed by a 4.3-pound (1.95 kg) GTX 33 unit, rack, and connectors (see Section 1.7.1 for weight
information). If it is necessary to build a shelf or bracket to mount the GTX 33 stand-alone rack or it is not
certain that the chosen location is of sufficient structural integrity, refer to Appendix A for validation of
rack mounting structures and determining static load capability.
Figure B-3 gives the stand-alone rack dimensions for the GTX 33 and GTX 33D. The rack can be mounted
vertically using four 8-32 pan head screws (MS35206, AN526 or other approved fastener). It can also be
mounted horizontally using four 6-32 100° counter-sunk flathead screws (MS24693, AN507R or other
approved fastener). Ensure that the GTX 33 chassis has a ground path to the airframe by having at least one
mounting screw in contact with the airframe. If more water-resistance is desired, the rack should be
installed in the upright vertical orientation only, otherwise, the rack may be mounted in either vertical or
horizontal orientation.
Figure 2-4 shows the stand-alone rack used for GTX 33H and GTX 33DH installations. Figure B-4 gives
the stand-alone rack dimensions for the GTX 33H and GTX 33DH. The rack can be mounted in any
orientation using screws as defined in Section 2.2.2. Ensure that the GTX 33 chassis has a ground path to
the airframe by having at least one mounting screw in contact with the airframe. If more water-resistance is
desired, the rack should be installed in the upright vertical orientation only, otherwise, the rack may be
mounted in either vertical or horizontal orientation.
After the cable assemblies are made and wiring installed to the rack back plate, route wiring bundle as
appropriate. Use cable ties to secure the cable assemblies and coax to provide strain relief for the cable
assemblies.

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.

Rev. F Page 3-1

3.2 Wiring Harness Installation
Allow adequate space for installation of cables and connectors. The installer shall supply and fabricate all
cables. All electrical connections to the GTX 33 are made through one 62-pin D-subminiature connector.
Section 4 defines the electrical characteristics of all input and output signals. Required connectors and
associated hardware are supplied with the connector kit.
See Appendix D for examples of interconnect wiring diagrams. Construct the actual harnesses in
accordance with the aircraft manufacturer authorized interconnect standards.

NOTES
1. Non-Garmin part numbers shown are not maintained by Garmin and consequently are subject to
change without notice.
2. Extracting the 18 AWG contacts requires that the expanded wire barrel be cut off from the contact.
It may also be necessary to push the pin out from the face of the connector when using an extractor
due to the absence of the wire. A new contact must be used when reassembling the connector.

Page 3-2 Rev. F

3.3 Backshell Assembly
The GTX 33 connector kit includes one Garmin backshell assembly. Garmin’s backshells give the installer
the ability to quickly and easily terminate shield grounds at the backshell housing using one of two
methods available (SPIDER or Shield Block).
NOTE
The SPIDER grounding method is permitted for previous installations, however Garmin
recommends the use of the Shield Block grounding method for all new installations.

3.7 Post Installation Configuration and Checkout
NOTE
The GTX 33 Mode S Transponder will not provide valid outputs until the aircraft post
installation configuration procedures are completed.
3.7.1 Configuration
When installed as part of the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck, the GTX 33 transponder must have FAA
approved configuration data. Configuration data is loaded to the GTX 33 from an aircraft-specific
Software Loader Card. Transponder settings are predetermined for a specific aircraft and are typically
contained within the file named ‘GTX1’. However, the aircraft registration number must be entered
manually.
The PFD serves as the graphics user interface to the installer configuring the system. For basic
configuration information, refer to the G1000 Line Maintenance and Configuration Manual, Garmin part
number 190-00303-04. For actual aircraft installation/checkout, use only aircraft manufacturer approved
checkout procedures.
Verify proper operation of the transponder by testing in accordance with Appendix F to 14 CFR Part 43 –
ATC Transponder Tests and Inspections.
For transponder installations operating with a Garmin GNS 480 (CNX80), refer to GNS 480 (CNX80)
Installation Manual, 560-0982-01 for configuration procedures and operation checks.
For transponder installations operating with a Garmin GTN 6XX/7XX, refer to the GTN 625/635/650 TSO
Installation Manual (190-01004-02) or the GTN 725/750 TSO Installation Manual (190-01007-02) for
configuration procedures and operation checks.
3.7.2 Interference Check
Turn on and verify operation of all avionics equipment except GTX 33. Then power GTX 33 on and verify
there is no interference with any other equipment in the aircraft. The operation/performance checks should
be made with all other avionics turned on. Verify that there is no interference during any mode of
transponder operation.

Page 3-6 Rev. F

3.7.3 Operation/Performance Checkout
CAUTION
If the unit is removed from the aircraft and operated, always connect J3302, (and J3303
for GTX 33D) to an antenna or a 50 Ω, 5-Watt load. The GTX 33 transmits Mode S
acquisition squitter replies about once per second whether interrogations are received or
not.
Verify proper operation of the transponder by testing as specified in Appendix F of 14 CFR, Part 43, to AC
43-6B, and/or other appropriate regulations. The test is typically done as a ramp test using a transponder
ramp test set, such as the TIC TR-220, IFR ATC-601 or other suitable Mode S transponder test set.
Self Test
Verify that the unit does not display a failure indication when turned on.
Altitude Input
Verify that the displayed altitude matches pressure altitude (at 29.92).
External Inputs
If the external ident or standby inputs are connected, verify operation by:
a) Verify that the unit goes to standby when the external standby input is pulled low.
b) Verify that the ident indication turns on when the external ident button is pressed (must be in
the “ON” or “ALT” modes.
3.7.4 Performance (Ramp) Test
After installation, the transponder should be tested as specified in 14 CFR Part 43 Appendix F, AC 43-6B,
and other appropriate regulations. The test is typically done as a ramp test using a transponder ramp test
set, such as the IFR ATC-601A. The ramp test includes checks as follows:

available in the GTX 33. In the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck system, temperature data is received from
the GIA 63 in RS-232 format.

CURRENT TEMPERATURE PROBE OUT P3301 41 Out
CURRENT TEMPERATURE PROBE IN P3301 44 In
Temperature function is provided for the external display system via input to the GTX 33 transponder. The
Temperature input is used for Outside Air Temperature (OAT) display and Density Altitude computations.
The type of temperature probe required is a current sensor type, such as a Garmin GTP 59 or an
AD590-KH or AD592 made by Analog Devices. The GTX 33 is not configurable for different types of
temperature sensors. The temperature-input specification is 1 micro amp per degree Kelvin (1 uA/°K).

Page 4-4 Rev. F

4.4 Altitude Functions
Altitude functions with pin assignments are shown for reference since the altitude function is available in
the GTX 33. In the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck system, altitude data is received from the GIA 63 in
RS-232 format.
Parallel gray code altitude inputs are considered active if either the voltage to ground is < 1.9 V or the
resistance to ground is < 375 Ω. These inputs are considered inactive if the voltage to ground is 11-33 Vdc.
NOTE
The GTX 33 contains internal altitude code line isolation diodes to prevent the unit from
pulling the encoder lines to ground when the transponder is turned off.
If two separate altitude encoders are connected to the GTX 33, one providing parallel
gray code and the other, serial data, the unit selects only one for use at a time, with serial
data input receiving the highest priority.
For altitude encoders that can be connected in both serial data and parallel gray code
format, such as the Garmin GAE 43 (Garmin P/N 013-00066-00), select one or the other
but not both wiring connections.
When connecting two GTX 33 transdponders to a Garmin GNS 480 (CNX80), the unit can
only receive serial data from one transponder at a time. Use a DPDT switch to connect
both serial data and External Standby Select. Refer to Figure D-4.
Among the surveillance items the Mode S transponder will transmit to the ground stations and other
aircraft are altitude reporting in 25-foot increments with the proper encoder. In order to report altitude in
25-foot increments the GTX 33 must receive altitude from suitable altitude reporting devices through serial
input connections. Altitude input to the GTX 33 received from parallel wire gray code encoders is supplied
to the unit in 100-foot increments and thus reported in 100-foot increments.

4.4.2 Altimeter Interconnect, Dual GTX 33 Installation

For complete dual installation in which digital altitude encoders are connected to the GTX 33, it is best to
install two digital sources, connecting one encoder to each transponder.
4.4.3 Altimeter Selection Priority
When connecting the transponder to a GNS 480 (CNX80) or GTN 6XX/7XX the installer must be aware
of the GTX 33 priority for selecting encoded altimeter interconnections. The GTX 33 searches in this
sequence for altitude, and stops when it finds a valid pressure altitude input.
Altitude reporting equipment order of precedence:
1. ARINC 429 Air Data Computer (label 203, if configured W/ALT) (25’)
2. ARINC 429 EFIS (label 203, if configured W/ALT) (25’)
3. RS-232 data from GNS 480 (CNX80), GTN 6XX/7XX, or Garmin Integrated Flight Deck (25')
4. RS-232 Fuel/Air Data Computer (if configured W/ALT.) (25’)
5. Shadin Altitude Serializer/Encoder (if configured for 25’)
6. Icarus Altitude Serializer/Encoder (if configured for 25’)
7. Parallel wire Gray Code input (100’)
8. Shadin Altitude Serializer/Encoder (if configured for 100’)
9. Icarus Altitude Serializer/Encoder (if configured for 100’)
Only approved devices may provide altitude to the GTX 33 in accordance with 14 CFR 91.217. In
addition, all altitude reporting devices installed in the aircraft must meet certification requirements of
14 CFR 91.413. The installer must select an altitude reporting device that is a certified altitude source for
the particular aircraft.

Page 4-6 Rev. F

It is the installing agency’s responsibility to determine that the installed encoder is compatible with the
selected altitude reporting criteria, either 100’ or 25’. Refer to the GNS 480 (CNX80) Installation Manual
or the appropriate GTN 6XX/7XX Installation Manual for the altitude data reporting configuration.
4.5 Discrete Functions
Discrete functions with pin assignments are shown for reference since the functions are available in the
GTX 33. External suppression should be connected if another transponder or DME is installed in the
aircraft avionics system. Depending on system configuration, the Garmin Integrated Flight Deck may not
use these inputs, as many functions are received from the GIA 63 in RS-232 format.
4.5.1 Discrete Outputs
External suppression should be connected if a DME is installed in the aircraft avionics system. The
GTX 33 suppression I/O pulses may not be compatible with all models of DME. Known incompatible
units include the Bendix/King KN 62, KN 64 and KNS 80. These models have an output-only suppression
port and can be damaged by the GTX 33 mutual suppression output. In this case, leave the suppression pin
open.

EXTERNAL IDENT SELECT (remote IDENT) is a momentary input. Refer to the GNS 480 (CNX80) or
the appropriate GTN 6XX/7XX Installation Manual for remote ident configuration.
EXTERNAL STANDBY SELECT (remote STANDBY) is used when two GTX 33 systems are installed
in an aircraft. Refer to Figure D-4, for the EXTERNAL STANDBY SELECT interconnect. When
EXTERNAL STANDBY SELECT is grounded, ARINC 429 OUT PORT 1 remains active, while PORT 2
is inactive.
When TIS is inactive, the GTX 33 logs onto TIS service when a momentary ground is applied to
P3301-46. When TIS is active, a momentary ground logs off of TIS service. Refer to the GNS 480
(CNX80) Installation Manual, MX20 Installation Manual, or appropriate GTN 6XX/7XX Installation
Manual for TIS configuration.
An AUDIO MUTE SELECT mute switch may be used to control TIS audio alerts. TIS (Traffic) Mute
must be clearly marked with MUTE ON/MUTE OFF or TIS Audio ON/Audio OFF labels. The muting
feature may be enabled through a Multi-Function display. In order to prevent inadvertent muting, the status
of muting must default to "Mute off" upon each power cycle. Refer to the GNS 480 (CNX80) Installation
Manual or appropriate GTN 6XX/7XX Installation Manual for AUDIO configuration.
4.6 Serial Data Electrical Characteristics
The GTX 33 manages support for several equipment interfaces. The GTX 33 can be configured to include
GPS, Airdata, AHRS, EFIS/Airdata, and ADLP 429 inputs, functioning as an ARINC 429 data
concentrator.
The GTX 33 has four ARINC 429 input ports, making it capable of taking altitude, air data, heading, EFIS
selected course and possible future features, and then concentrating it on the ARINC 429 OUT 2 ports for
possible data link applications.
The GTX 33 is designed to feed all outgoing data to the external display via RS-232 data ports.

The RS-232 outputs conform to EIA Standard RS-232C with an output voltage swing of at least ±5 V
when driving a standard RS-232 load. Refer to figures in Appendix D for the RS-232 serial data
interconnect.
When connecting two GTX 33 transponders to a GPS, the unit can only receive RS-232 serial data from
one unit at a time. Use a DPDT switch for connecting both serial data and External Standby Select. Refer
to Figure D-4.

4.7 RS-232 Input/Output, Software Update Connections
When the GTX 33 is installed in a system other than a Garmin Integrated Flight Deck an optional RS-232
serial data connector should be installed in the aircraft for future software upgrades, negating the need to
remove the transponder from the aircraft. The connector can be mounted anywhere convenient for access,
such as under the instrument panel, on a remote avionics shelf next to the unit or in the instrument panel
itself. Be sure to label the connector for Software Update. Do not include the Test Mode Select switch in
the aircraft. See Figure 4-2 for software update connections.
If the GTX 33 installation interfaces with a GNS 480 (CNX80) in the aircraft, the GNS 480 (CNX80) must
be turned off during GTX 330 software upload, due to loading of RS-232 port 1.
NOTE
The installation of an optional software upgrade connector is highly recommended. If the
connector is wired in the aircraft, transponder removal and reinstallation for software
upgrade is not required.
CAUTION
If the unit is removed from the aircraft and operated, always connect J3302, (and J3303
for GTX 33D) to an antenna or a 50 Ω, 5-Watt load. The GTX 33 transmits Mode S
acquisition squitter replies about once per second whether interrogations are received or
not.
Beginning with software version 3.06, the GTX 33 software can be updated in the Configuration mode as
well as in Test mode. Updating software in Configuration mode does not require the TEST MODE
SELECT switch.

APPENDIX A CONSTRUCTION AND VALIDATION OF STRUCTURES
A.1 Static Test Loading

This appendix includes information necessary for testing load-carrying capabilities of equipment mounting
structures, such as shelves, mounting plates and mounting brackets, used to mount the GTX 33 remote
mounting tray.
Baggage compartments and cabins or cockpit floors are good mounting platforms providing the floor
attachments meet the strength requirements. If support racks, brackets or shelves need to be fabricated,
they should be fabricated and attached to the aircraft structure in accordance with the methods outlined in
AC 43.13-2B Chapter 2. After the structure is installed, it should be tested as outlined in AC 43.13-2B
Chapter 1 to verify that it is capable of supporting the required loads.
The GTX 33 installation must be capable of withstanding the Ultimate Load Factors listed in Table A-1 for
at least 3 seconds in each direction specified without damage or permanent deformation. Note that these
required loads differ somewhat from those normally required for equipment installations.
Since the combined weight of the GTX 33 and its equipment mounting rack and connector is 4.3 lbs, the
static loads which must be applied (Load Factor x 4.3 lbs.) will be as follows:
Table A-1. Static Test Load
Static Test Load

Direction of Force Load Factor
(Load Factor x GTX 33 weight)
DOWNWARD 6.6 G (6.6 x 4.3) = 28.4 lbs
UPWARD 6.0 G (6.0 x 4.3) = 25.8 lbs
SIDEWAYS 4.5 G (4.5 x 4.3) = 19.4 lbs
FORWARD 18.0 G (18.0 x 4.3) = 77.4 lbs
A.2 Determining Static Load Capability

A recommended method of determining the static load capability is as follows:
1. Mark and drill the holes where the GTX 33 equipment rack will be mounted.
2. Install four 8-32 machine screws (MS35206, AN526 or other approved fastener) in the four holes
which will be used to mount the GTX 33 equipment rack using washers, nuts and
nutplates to mount the equipment rack to the mounting surface. Note that some means of locking
fastener must be used, e.g. either lock nuts or steel nuts with lock washers.
3. For testing downward loading, place shot bags or other suitable weights totaling 28.4 pounds
within the footprint outlined by the four screw holes (assuming the mounting surface is
horizontal) or use a calibrated force gauge at the location of the center of gravity when the unit is
mounted.
4. Verify there is no damage or permanent deformation of the structure after 3 seconds.
5. Fasten a 36 inch loop of suitable material such as fishing line, braided wire, or other similar mate-
rial having a breaking strength of at least 100 lbs., diagonally between two of the screws. Then fas-
ten another loop diagonally between the other two screws, adjusting the length of the loop so it
exactly matches the first.

Rev. F Page A-1

6. Hook a calibrated force gauge through both loops and apply a sustained pull for at least 3
seconds in each of the other three directions (upward, sideward and forward) at the above
calculated forces (i.e. 25.8 lb. upward, 19.4 lb. sideward and 77.4 lb. forward).
7. Examine the support structure carefully. If there has been damage or permanent deformation, the
structure is not suitable and must be replaced with one that is strong enough to withstand the test
loads. Examine all aircraft stringers, bulkheads and skin surfaces, which may have direct or indi-
rect contact with the fabricated shelf. If it is determined that no damage or
permanent deformation has occurred, the structure is of sufficient strength and the GTX 33 equip-
ment rack may be permanently mounted on it.
