OK Gents,
I now have a spot for you to get as many of the Garmin manuals as I have
on file for my personal use. Lately the W's(WAAS) have been hot which
spawned these discussions.
You may use the link below to retrieve them. To name a few I have
GNS430, GNS530, GMA347, GNS530W, GNS430W, GTX327, GTX330, MX20, SL40
If I get others Ill put them there. I don't keep every revision of every
unit of every variant.
I sure wish Garmin would just simply make these available to the public.
Not like these are some big secret or anything. Makes life complicated
for all of us.
Hope this helps.
Mike

Was looking for some tools in the mess-shop yestereday
and ran across a Schumacher "smart charger" still in the
box. I'd purchased it at WallyWorld last year some time
with the intent of seeing how it behaved compared with their
lesser products.
I had a 32AH Panasonic RG battery in a partial state of
recharge in the electronics shop. I replaced the 1A Battery
Minder with the 12A Schumacher smart charger and produced
the following performance curve.

Here we see that the protocol boosted the battery to the
top-off phase pretty quickly. 12A recharge would be expected
to have a steeper slope than the 1A charger. The battery
was held in top-off for a little over 3 hours before
dropping to a sustaining voltage of 13.5 volts.
The 'noise' on the voltage traces shows up only after
the recharge current drops below the boost level and
continues after the voltage is allowed to drop to sustaining
levels. I presume this is the effect of some form of
'desulfating' activity.

Does anyone know if there is much difference in the wiring pinout and the connectors
to go from a Garmin 430 to a 530 ? The connectors look the same but the
P/N is one number off 4001 to 5001 etc. Could you just take the connectors off
the back plate of the 430 and make any necessary pin changes and put the connectors
back on the 530 back plate ?
Thanks,
Chad Feldpouch

Good Evening Chad,
Nothing authoritative here, but I took a 530 to the shop to be updated to a
530W and was told that the 530W and the 430W wiring was identical and, in
fact, interchangeable.
Happy Skies,
