Installation
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the installation of the GH-3100 Electronic Standby Instrument System, in a step by
step procedure. The installation activities in this section will be performed in the following order:
•
Determine component locations.
•
Install the cables.
•
Install the sensor components.
NOTE
When installing a MAG-3100 refer to Installation Manual P/N 0040-21200-01.
When installing a MAG-3000 refer to Installation Manual P/N TP-633.
Installation must be made by qualified personnel, in conformance with applicable government
regulations. Standard installation practices prescribed in FAA Advisory Circular No. 43.13-2B -
Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices – Aircraft Alterations must be followed. The information
furnished is for convenience only.

2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTING
Carefully unpack the unit and note any damage to shipping containers or equipment. Visually inspect
each component for evidence of damage. Compare the equipment received with that noted on the packing
list. Missing items or evidence of damage should be reported to the carrier making the delivery. To justify
a claim, retain the original shipping container and all packing materials.
Every effort should be made to 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.
2.2.1 Transport and Storage Considerations
Transport of all equipment should be done in accordance with standard procedures, i. e. hand carried or
transported in the original container. The container limits the shock to the indicator at a maximum of 25
g’s when dropped from a distance of 36 inches.
The GH-3100 and DCM-3100 contain electrostatic sensitive devices and require a conductive connector
dust cover during transport and storage.
Storage of avionics equipment must be consistent with industry standards for avionics equipment and will
perform satisfactorily after periods of storage up to 24 months. The ambient temperature of the storage
area should not fall below -55° C (-65° F) or rise above +85° (+185° F).
CAUTION
Do not expose the magnetometer to magnetic fields greater than
5 gausses during packaging, storage, or transport in order to
prevent magnetization of the magnetometer.
