    Subject: GPS 175 Wiring Question
    From: "farmrjohn" <faithvineyard@yahoo.com>
    I'm in the process of making the wiring harness for a GPS 175 installation and would like to have the automatic power on feature. I am confused by the information in the installation manual though and have a question into Garmin. While waiting for a response I thought I'd ask here as well. On the pin-out diagram and the table referring to that pin, #61, it is listed as an "in". However, on the one wiring diagram that shows pin 61 it is connected to the aircraft ground and is diagramed as an "out". The footnote associated refers back the previous section that has it as an "in". I've attached the portions from the installation manual in question. Thanks, John Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=515201#515201 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/gps_wiring_199.pdf

    This is very straightforward as documented. If pin 61 is connected to ground, auto power on is enabled and the unit will startup when power is provided on 21 & 42. This is sensing a logic level 0. If 61 is not connected to ground (floating), auto power on is disabled & you have to power on the unit manually. --- David Carter david@carter.net On Thu, Jan 9, 2025 at 7:24=AFPM farmrjohn <faithvineyard@yahoo.com> wrote: > faithvineyard@yahoo.com> > > I'm in the process of making the wiring harness for a GPS 175 installatio n > and would like to have the automatic power on feature.

    Thank you. I guess my confusion comes from the terminology used on the pin-out diagram and description table where the pin is labeled "in". An additional confusion point is the GTX 327 transponder wiring that is installed. In that instance there are only 5 wires in the harness, but not connected as in the wiring diagram, attached as PDF (transponder works). As wired, there is an airframe ground connected to pin 1, and a power in through a circuit breaker to pin 15. The other three wires go to a Trans-Cal altitude encoder: pin 13 to encoder ground, 14 to encoder power, and 19 to encoder's RS-232 transmit. The encoder itself has a total of four wires, the fourth goes to airplane ground. Reading note 5, it sounds like transponder pin 1 should be connected to pin 15 for the auto-on to function. As wired, it does not. Is the transponder receiving its ground through the encoder or pin 1 or through the encoder? If thought pin 1, should the auto-on be functional?
