GF-DIO MANUAL

 

2012 

 

 

 

modules installed on the system, however, make sure that the software being overwriting is an 
older version and not a newer one. 

STEP 2: 
 
Mounting the GF-DIO Board 
 
 

Mounting Options: 

 

 

    

Option 1 

– Screw Mounted (not pictured)

 

The DIO board comes with standoff screws giving you 
the option to screw mount your DIO board where you 
place within your home built cockpit. 

   

Option 2 

– Double Sided Tape (pictured) 

 
Another simple option is to use a few strips of double 
mounted sticky tape.  As see here in the picture, you can 
run three long strips between the electronic placements 
on the board and place any where you please. 
 
 

STEP 3: 

Plugging in the hardware

  

  

 

Example:

 

To connect the individual hardware components to 
the DIO Board, use the cable assemblies that come 
with your DIO purchase.  On both the components 
and the board itself, there are 3-pin connectors 
which simply plug into the connectors on the ends of 
the cable assemblies.   

Each component takes a different amount of cables 
depending on the functions available.  The small 
LED’s plug directly into the wire assembly, and don’t 
come with a small mounting board.  The larger 
components such as the rotary selectors have 
multiple pin connectors to accommodate the many 
options for programming the different positions of the 
selectors.
