1.1 Introduction
This manual provides the installation instructions for the Garmin GMA 240 Audio Panel. Reference to
GMA 240 throughout this manual refers to all versions of the unit. Information pertaining to the
maintenance of the unit can be found in the GMA 240 Maintenance Manual, P/N 190-00917-02.
Information pertaining to the operation of the unit can be found in the GMA 240 Pilot’s Guide,
P/N 190-00917-00.

1.2 Equipment Description

The Garmin GMA 240 Audio Panel is not a TSO-certified product and has received no FAA approval or
endorsement.

The GMA 240 meets the needs of aircraft owners and operators who require reliability and versatility in
the essential audio switching function. LED-illuminated push-button simplicity and intuitive panel layout
allow audio selection of both NAV and COM audio. Large, single-button activation of the COM
microphone and audio for two COM transceivers simplifies cockpit workload. Photocell dimming
circuitry automatically adjusts the brightness of the annunciators to a level appropriate for ambient
cockpit light. The brightness of the backlighting is controlled by the aircraft lighting bus. A fail-safe
circuit connects the pilot’s headset and microphone directly to COM1 and a fail-safe warning audio input
in the event that power is interrupted or the unit is turned off.

Additionally, the GMA 240 includes a four-position intercom (ICS) with electronic cabin noise de-
emphasis, two stereo music inputs, and independent pilot and copilot/passenger volume controls. To
further simplify the cockpit workload, the intercom provides for pilot isolation. One hundred percent
solid state circuitry and extensive use of surface mount technology are employed.

2.3 GMA 240 Wiring, Configuration, and Adjustment Options

The GMA 240 has several configuration/adjustment options, consideration of these options should be
discussed with the end user(s) of the aircraft before wiring begins. These configuration/adjustments are
described in the following sections:

• Wiring options – Sections 2.3.1 and 4.4.1

• Internal configuration jumpers - Section 2.3.1
• Volume/Mute adjustments - Section 2.3.2

GMA 240 Installation Manual Page 2-1

190-00917-01 Rev. B
2.3.1 Internal Configuration Jumpers
The following internal configuration adjustments may be made by removing or replacing jumpers on the
PCB. The jumper positions are designed to accept a 0 Ω resistor of 0603 size. Refer to Appendix C for
component location.

This service should only be performed by a qualified technician. Garmin is not responsible for damage
caused during adjustment of these internal configuration jumper settings. Refer to the GMA 240
Maintenance Manual for disassembly/reassembly instructions.

The GMA 240 contains static sensitive components. Observe proper anti-static
procedures when performing any solder procedures on the unit.

Music interrupted by alert audio. Default operation
is recommended.
R0304 COM1 Internal Empty If a jumper is supplied in these positions,
Sidetone internal sidetone will be heard during PTT to
simulate received sidetone from a radio that
R0305 COM2 Internal Empty
does not provide one during transmission.
Sidetone
This should only be used if a radio does not
perform this function already.
R0308 TEL Internal Populated If this jumper is removed, intercom audio
Sidetone and intercom sidetone will not be heard
when the TEL button is selected. Many
phones supply sidetone when a call is in
session. This causes a noticeable change in
intercom sound quality but it is usually not
disruptive. Default operation is
recommended unless the effect of sidetone
from the telephone is disruptive to intercom
operation.
R0315 TEL jack detect Empty If a jumper is supplied in this position, when
bypass TEL is selected the audio panel will assume
a telephone is in use in the front jack
regardless of phone detection. This should
be used only if the audio panel is not
capable of properly detecting the telephone
that will be used in the installation.

2.3.2 VOLUME/MUTE Configuration Adjustments

The following adjustments can be made through access holes in the top cover of the GMA 240:

1. Alert 1 Volume
2. Alert 2 Volume
3. Alert 3 Volume
4. Rear connector TEL input volume
5. Front panel jack TEL input volume
6. MASQ (Master Avionics SQuelch) mute level

Refer to Figure 2-1 for the location of the access holes.

CAUTION
Exercise care when inserting adjustment tools through the top cover.
Damage to the unit may occur if an adjustment tool is accidentally forced
against unintended components or circuit board paths. Use a 2 mm (max
blade width) flat-blade non-conductive screw driver or adjustment tool.

CW adjustment increases the levels for volume inputs and for the mute threshold for radio inputs.

GMA 240 Installation Manual Page 2-3

190-00917-01 Rev. B
 Figure 2-1. Access Hole Location (Top View)

2.3.3 Hardwire Configuration Option

The following configuration options are available by externally wiring pins to aircraft chassis. When
change of operation is desired during flight, these can optionally be wired to chassis through a suitable
switch mounted in reach of the operator. See Section 4.4.1 for connector and pin details for
implementing these configuration options.

MASQ™ INHIBIT: The Master Avionics SQuelch inhibit configuration option allows selected avionics
audio inputs (COM, NAV, AUX) and alerts to be heard even if they do not exceed the MASQ threshold.
This increases background noise during otherwise quiet operation because noise from these inputs is not
squelched. This option is most useful as a troubleshooting tool.

CREW ISO: This input configures the audio panel for crew intercom isolation in place of pilot isolation.
When the PILOT ISO key is selected, the pilot and copilot will hear each other but will be isolated from
the passengers. When the CREW ISO configuration is selected, the copilot’s headphone jack must be
wired in parallel with the pilot headset output. Microphones are wired as normal.

PILOT ISO MUSIC: This input configures music to be heard by the pilot during PILOT ISO mode (or
by the pilot and copilot if crew isolate mode is configured). Normally, the isolated ICS positions do not
hear music.

Page 2-4 GMA 240 Installation Manual

Rev. B 190-00917-01
BUTTON PRESS TONE ENABLE: This input enables an audible tone to be heard when a button press
is detected.

MUTE ON COM TX: This input configures the audio panel to mute all selected radios (COM, NAV,
AUX) except the mic selected COM (COM selected for transmission) when a PTT key is activated for
COM transmit.

2.4 Noise
Because the audio panel is a point in the aircraft where signals from many pieces of equipment are
brought together, care must be taken to minimize effects from coupled interference and ground loops.

Coupled interference can sneak into audio system interconnecting cables when they are routed near large
AC electric fields, AC voltage sources, and pulse equipment (strobes, spark plugs, magnetos, EL displays,
CRTs, etc). Interference can also couple into audio system interconnecting cables by magnetic induction
when they are routed near large AC current-carrying conductors or switched DC equipment (heaters,
solenoids, fans, autopilot servos, etc).

Ground loops are created when there is more than one path in which return currents can flow, or when
signal returns share the same path as large currents from other equipment. These large currents create
differences in ground potential between the various equipment operating in the aircraft. These differences
in potential can produce an additive effect at an audio panel signal input.

The audio panel may “see” the desired input signal plus an unwanted component injected by ground
differentials, a common cause of alternator-related noise. This is the main reason why all audio jacks
should be isolated from ground. Terminating audio shields just at one end eliminates another potential
ground loop injection point.

Single-point grounding cannot be overstressed for the various avionics producing and processing audio
signals. Single-point, in this context, means that the various pieces of equipment share a single common
ground connection back to the airframe. Good aircraft electrical/charging system ground bonding is also
important.

The wiring diagrams and accompanying notes in this manual should be followed closely to minimize
noise effects.

190-00917-01 Rev. B
2.5 GMA 240 Mounting
The GMA 240 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 GMA 240 is mounted using a GMA 340 unit rack. Figure 2-2 shows the GMA 340 unit rack. See
Section 3.4 for installation instructions.

NOTE
Rear support is recommended to ensure a sturdy mount.

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 Electrical Connections

All electrical connections to the GMA 240 are made through two 44-pin D-subminiature connectors (see
Figure 3-1). Section 4 defines the electrical characteristics of all input and output signals. Required
connector and associated hardware are supplied in the connector kit (P/N 011-00652-00). See Appendix
B for interconnect wiring diagrams.

Check wiring connections for errors before inserting the GMA 240 into the rack. Incorrect wiring could
cause internal component damage.

NOTE
1. Non-Garmin part numbers shown are not maintained by Garmin and consequently are subject
to change without notice.
2. Extracting the #16, #18 and #20 contact 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.
3. For applications using 16 AWG wire, contact Garmin for information regarding connector
crimp positioner tooling.

3.4 GMA 240 Installation

NOTE
Avoid installing the unit near heat sources. If this is not possible, ensure
that additional cooling is provided. Allow adequate space for installation
of cables and connectors. The installer will supply and fabricate all of
the cables.

1. Assemble the connector/rack kit according to Tables 4-1, 4-2; and Figures B-1 and B-2. Install
the rack assembly according to the dimensions given in Figures A-1 and A-3. Mounting brackets
are not supplied due to the wide range of mounting configurations available. Suitable mounting
brackets may be fabricated from sheet metal or angle stock. To ensure a sturdy mount, rear
support for the unit should be provided.
2. Slide the unit into the rack until the jackscrew makes contact with the receptacle located in the
back plate.
3. Insert a 3/32” Allen wrench into the jackscrew access hole on the faceplate.
4. Turn the Allen wrench clockwise until the unit is secured in the rack. Continue turning until
tight, but do not over-tighten.

CAUTION
Do not use excessive force when inserting the GMA 240 into the rack.
This may damage the connectors, unit, and/or unit rack. If heavy
resistance is felt during installation, stop, and remove the GMA 240 and
identify the source of resistance.
5. To remove the unit from the rack, turn the Allen wrench counterclockwise until it disengages
from the rack.

3.5 Post Installation Checkout

CAUTION
Check wiring connections for errors before inserting the GMA 240 into
the rack. Incorrect wiring could cause internal component damage.

An in-aircraft checkout may be performed in the aircraft on the ramp with known good microphone,
headset, and avionics receivers.

3.5.1 Lamp Test

1. Apply power to the unit by rotating the pilot intercom knob clockwise.
2. Verify that all annunciators on the front panel are illuminated during initial power up.

3.5.2 Failsafe Operation Check

1. Turn the unit off by rotating the pilot intercom knob fully counter clockwise.
2. Check the failsafe operation by exercising the COM 1 microphone, microphone key, and monitoring
received COM 1 audio over the pilot headphone’s left earpiece.
3. If installed, check that the failsafe warning is heard in the pilot headphone’s left earpiece.
4. Turn the unit back on to continue testing.

3.5.3 Transceiver Operational Check

1. Perform a ramp test radio check by exercising the installed transceivers, microphone, microphone
key, and audio over the headphone.
2. Verify that communications are loud and clear and PTT operation is correct.

3.5.4 Intercom System (ICS) Check

NOTE
Stereo headsets are recommended if stereo jacks are installed.
Alternatively, the installation should employ stereo jacks with a
mono/stereo switch that disconnects the audio panel’s right channel
output from the jack’s ring contact when in mono mode. If a monaural
headset is used in a stereo jack, the audio panel’s right channel output is
shorted to ground by the mono headset’s plug. This causes excess power
supply current to be drawn. While this does not damage the unit’s output
circuitry, prolonged periods (especially at high volume) may cause the
internal power input fuse to open. This is because the unit is optimized
for low-power operation in systems with limited power budgets. In the
case of copilot/passenger positions wired in parallel, any stereo listener
will lose right channel audio when another passenger plugs in a mono
headset.

1. Set the intercom to the ALL mode [Pilot ISO LED off.]

GMA 240 Installation Manual Page 3-3

190-00917-01 Rev. B
 2. Plug in headsets at each ICS position.

NOTE
For helicopter operation using a two-stage Intercom/PTT switch, prior to
using the keyed-intercom mode, the VOX level should be set by
adjusting the VOX knob while the first detent is actuated and held.

3. Check Pilot and Copilot ICS positions for isolation and proper operation of volume and squelch
controls.

3.5.5 Aircraft Receivers Check

1. Select the audio source corresponding to each installed avionics unit and check for audio over the
headsets.

3.5.6 Music System Check

1. Set the intercom to the ALL mode [Pilot ISO LED off.]
2. Connect a stereo audio source to MUSIC 1 (ensure the front panel jack is empty and the music
volume knob is not set to minimum). Verify that stereo audio is heard over all headset positions
when MUSIC 1 is selected as the music source and MUSIC LED is on. Pull out on the right side
small knob and verify that music volume adjustment is working properly.
3. Select an audio source to COM 1 and verify that the sound is muted by active COM 1 audio when
RADIO music mute is selected and by intercom audio when ICS music mute is selected.
4. Connect a stereo music source to MUSIC 2. Verify that stereo audio is heard when MUSIC 2 is
selected as the music source and MUSIC LED is on.
5. Connect a stereo audio source to the front panel jack. Verify that stereo audio is heard when
MUSIC 1 is selected as the music source and MUSIC LED is on.

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

This completes the in-aircraft post installation checkout. Perform a flight test after installing the unit to
ensure satisfactory performance of the audio functions.

3.6 CONFIGURATION ADJUSTMENTS

Adjustment to the Volume and Squelch settings can be made to the GMA 240 through access holes in the
unit’s top cover. Refer to Section 2.3 for details.

3.7 CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS

Maintenance of the GMA 240 is “on condition” only. Refer to the GMA 240 Maintenance Manual
(Garmin P/N 190-00917-02) as needed. Periodic maintenance of the GMA 240 is not required.
