System Interconnects installed in the aircraft, contact XM Satellite Radio to update the radio IDs on the current subscription or start a new subscription. RS-232 Ports (Qty 3) Three RS-232 ports are available and can be used to connect the GDL 69/69A to control/display devices (e.g., the MX20 or GMX 200). Support for Port 1 was enabled with software version 3.10.
System Interconnects Discrete Inputs (GDL 69A Only) The discrete inputs are used to control the XM radio channels and volume. All of these inputs are active low (i.e. grounded when active, and open otherwise). Each input presents a load of greater than 10 k . 3.3.5.1 Audio Volume Inputs (Up, Down, Mute) The Up, Down, and Mute discrete provides audio volume control of the audio output. (Note: The volume and mute controls have no affect on the Line Out output volume.) P691-73 P691-74 P691-70 3.3.
System Interconnects Audio Out (GDL 69A Only) The Audio Out provides stereo output for XM radio to be interconnected to an audio panel. The Audio Out is affected by the volume controls, mute function, and suppression inputs. See Limitations Section 6.2 for requirements on use of suppression inputs. P691-17 P691-18 P691-19 Audio Out Lo. This is the common ground for the audio output Audio Out Right. This is the right channel audio Audio Out Left.
System Interconnects RS-232 Port (Qty 1) One RS-232 port is used to connect the GRT 10 to GDL 69A. Pin 2 TX (out) Pin 3 RX (in) Pin 4 Signal Ground Volume Lock The volume lock discrete input is used to disable the volume controls of the GRC 10 remote control. When this input is active low (i.e. grounded when active, and open otherwise), the volume up, volume down and mute features of the GRC 10 are disabled; all other features of the GRC 10 remain functional.

System Configuration/Checkout 4 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND CHECKOUT Once the GDL 69/69A and optional GRT 10 have been installed, configure the units for the particular installation and then complete the checkout procedures herein to verify proper operation. The steps that are not applicable to a particular installation may be ignored. A checkout log sheet is included at the end of this section. It is to be filled out during the checkout procedure.
System Configuration/Checkout Configuration Module Procedure for Installation with 400/500 and 400W/500W Series Perform the following steps to program the configuration module of the GDL 69/69A when using the 400/500 Series or 400W/500W Series as the control and display unit: 1. Power up the 400/500 or 400W/500W in Configuration Mode (refer to the 400/500 or 400W/500W Install Manual for instructions) 2. Go to GDL CONFIG Page 3.
System Configuration/Checkout 10. View the SUMMARY field and ensure that all items are ‘complete’, then de-activate the cursor. 11. Go to the System Status page. 12. Activate the cursor and highlight ‘GDL69’ in the LRU window. 13. Verify that the reported part number and version of the software matches the data in the Required Equipment List. 14. Continue to the GDL 69A test procedure. 4.
System Configuration/Checkout 4.6 System Operational Checkout Before performing system checkout, ensure that the configuration module (if applicable) is properly programmed and the GDL 69/69A connected to the correct communication port. Data Link Status and Connection Power up the GDL 69/69A. View the data link status on the display/control device to verify XM signals are being received.

System Configuration/Checkout Verifying XM Receiver Signal Strength The following check will verify the XM antenna connection to the GDL 69/69A XM Receiver. Verify the XM signal level has a minimum of three bars. CAUTION Make sure the aircraft is outside and that there is an unobstructed view of the Southern sky. Refer to the appropriate installation manual of the display device for instructions to view the signal status.
System Configuration/Checkout 4.7 GRT 10/GRC 10 Post Installation Checkout Procedures (If installed) Functional Check 4.7.1.1 Power On/Off Turn on the GRC 10 by pressing and releasing any key. The unit will automatically power off after a period of inactivity. To manually turn off the unit, press the Menu key, highlight the Power Down option, and press the XM key. 4.7.1.
System Configuration/Checkout NOTE For composite aircraft, hold the GRC 10 as close to the antenna under test as practical from inside the cabin. For metal aircraft, hold the GRC 10 close to the window nearest the antenna under test. Repeat the test for the other GPS antenna when complete. 5.
