Warranty: 
 

MGL Avionics warrants their products for a period of one year from date of purchase against 
faulty workmanship. Warranty is limited to the replacement of faulty components and includes 
the cost of labor. Shipping costs are for the account of the purchaser. 
 

Note for operation on supplies with inductive loads: 

 
Any operation of electronic instrumentation on power supplies that are subject to high 
voltages caused by operation of inductive loads (starter motors, solenoids, relays) are 
required to be fitted with suitable protection. 
All Maxi Singles are guaranteed to withstand temporary over voltage up to 40V without 
additional protection. We recommend that measures are taken to prevent voltage transients in 
excess of this limit.  
MGL Avionics recommends the fitment of a fuse in line with a 33V transorb (available from 
MGL Avionics) to protect electronic instruments, radios and intercom systems. Only one such 
arrangement is required for a cluster of instruments. 
Please note that product warranty excludes damages caused by unprotected, unsuitable or 
incorrectly wired electrical supplies. 
 

Installing the GPS-1 

 
The drawing on the following page shows the connections required to operate the GPS-1. 
 
Power supply here assumes a 12V DC source. It is recommended to install suitable 
protection against over voltage such as can be generated by solenoids and starter motors.
