For optimal connectivity with a GTX 345R, the Bluetooth antenna must point towards the passenger area of the aircraft. This is identifiable by the Garmin label. Due to aircraft obstructions, Bluetooth performance may be limited. To obtain ideal Bluetooth performance, use a Flight Stream 110/210.
Installation Overview 3.15 Antenna Considerations Mounting location considerations for the antenna(s) are provided in this section. The recommended antenna locations are shown in figure 3-4. 3.15.1 Transponder Antenna Ground planes must be considered for installations on composite aircraft. Conductive wire mesh, radials, or thin aluminum sheets embedded in the composite material supply the ground plane to maximize the antenna pattern (gain).
(ex. GPS and COM, GPS and XM) provided the combination antenna is TSO authorized and has been tested to meet Garmin’s minimum performance standards. For approved antennas refer to table 1-12.

Connector Pinout Information Power The GTX 3X5 is compatible with 14 VDC and 28 VDC aircraft electrical systems. The AIRCRAFT POWER 2 input is diode-isolated from AIRCRAFT POWER 1 and is used for connecting to an alternate power source, such as on an aircraft with two electrical buses.
GAE 43 (P/N 013-00066-00), connect one or the other interfaces, but not both. The serial interface is preferred. 5.5.1 Pressure Sensor Module The optional GAE module (Garmin P/N 011-03080-00) is used for the GTX 3X5 pressure altitude input. It uses the same interface as the configuration module and also includes the configuration module functionality.
Connector Pinout Information 5.5.2 Gray Code Altitude Input The GTX 3X5 accepts ten Gray code altitude discrete inputs. The Gray code inputs are pulled down for active, or open for inactive. The GTX 3X5 includes internal isolation diodes on the Gray code inputs to prevent the unit from pulling the encoder lines to ground when the transponder is turned off.
Connector Pinout Information Serial Data Interfaces 5.7.1 RS-232 The RS-232 outputs are compatible with EIA Standard RS-232C with an output voltage swing of at least ± 5 V when driving a standard RS-232 load. The RS-232 inputs and outputs can be configured for different functions depending on the installation.
Connector Pinout Information 5.7.2 ARINC 429 The ARINC 429 output conforms to the ARINC 429 electrical specification when loaded with up to five standard ARINC 429 receivers. The ARINC 429 inputs and outputs can be configured for different functions depending on the installation.
Connector Pinout Information Suppression Bus The EXTERNAL SUPPRESSION is intended for connection to other L-band equipment, such as a DME or UAT. The output is active whenever the GTX 3X5 transmits. When driven by another source, the GTX 3X5 transponder receiver and transmitter functions will be suppressed.
Connector Pinout Information 5.12 Configuration Module The configuration module interface is used for connection to either a configuration module or an optional GAE module. The configuration and GAE module kits include a wire harness for connection to the GTX 3X5 D-sub connector. Connect using The wire colors are shown in table 5-17.
