10 Apollo GX50/60/65 Installation Manual
HELICOPTER REQUIREMENTS
The GX60 and GX65 is qualified for helicopter installation with certain mount tube and
GX60/65 configurations (see Section 4 - Limitations).
EQUIPMENT MOUNTING
Once the cable assemblies have been made, attach the 15 and 37 pin d-sub and coaxial cable
connectors to the rear connector mounting plate and the mounting frame as illustrated in Figure 4
and Figure 5. Route the wiring bundle as appropriate. The rear connector plate should be attached
to the mounting frame before installing the frame in the instrument panel. The rear connector
plate can be used to tie down the cable assemblies. Use the supplied edge guard to protect the
cable from sharp edges. Connect the shield grounds directly to the connector mounting plate.
Once the cable assemblies, the connector mounting plate, and the mounting frame are
assembled, install the mounting frame assembly in the instrument panel as illustrated in
Figure 3. Be sure to use low profile head screws so the unit will slide in and out freely. Attach
the front of the mounting frame to the instrument panel. Use support brackets to attach the
rear of the frame to the aircraft.
