2.3 Installation
Considerations
The GSA 8X servo actuator interfaces directly with the GIA Integrated Avionics Units. Fabrication of a
wiring harness is required. Sound mechanical and electrical methods and practices are required for
installation of the servo and servo gearbox.
2.3.1
Cabling & Wiring
The contacts supplied in the GSA 8X connector kit will accept wire from AWG #24 to AWG #20.
AWG #24 may be used for all connections, except for AIRCRAFT_POWER, AP_DISCONNECT, and
POWER GROUND, which must be AWG #22 or larger.
In cases where installations have more than one unit sharing a common circuit breaker, sizing and wire
gauge is based on aircraft circuit breaker layout, length of wiring, current draw of units, and internal unit
protection characteristics. Wire the circuit breakers as specified on the aircraft manufacturer approved
drawings.
Make sure that the wire routing does not allow the wire to 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, bends in cabling must measure greater than a 1” bend radius, measured at the
outside of the cable. Avoid routing cabling and wiring near aircraft control cables.
