1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GARMIN GMA 340 is a panel mounted TSO’d audio panel that provides control of the aircraft audio
system. The GMA 340 provides flexibility in switching up to three microphone and audio transceiver
communication inputs. Audio selection of NAV 1, NAV 2, ADF, DME and marker audio is available on the
GMA 340 and GMA 340H. In addition, selection of ADF 1 and ADF 2 is provided on the GMA 340 Dual ADF.
The GMA 340 includes a voice activated (VOX) intercom system and a three-lamp marker beacon receiver and
display. One or two stereo entertainment inputs are also provided. (One on the GMA 340 Dual ADF, two on the
other units.)
The VOX intercom uses rotary knobs for volume and squelch adjustment while selection of all other functions is
accomplished with the use of pushbuttons.
Marker HI and LO and button annunciation is accomplished with LED devices. Front panel backlighting of
button function, squelch and volume control knobs is provided by LED’S controlled by the aircraft lighting bus.
On the GMA 340 and GMA 340H the split com function allows the pilot and copilot to talk on Com 1 and Com 2
simultaneously.
The unit is constructed from high quality materials and uses surface mount components extensively. Specialized
equipment and procedures are required to repair circuit boards having surface-mounted components. GARMIN
does not authorize the repair of GMA 340 circuit boards. If necessary, circuit boards and assemblies for the
GMA 340 can be economically replaced through the GARMIN board exchange program.
The following assemblies and printed circuit boards can be field replaced:
0 Front Panel Assembly-Contains the front panel bezel, button key cap assembly, marker beacon lamp
assembly and front panel board assembly.
0 Marker Beacon Lamp Rack Assembly -Contains marker beacon incandescent lamps and lamp rack.
Fits onto the front panel assembly.
0 Flexible Circuit Cables-Connects the front panel to the main circuit board assembly.
190-00149-02 Rev B 1-1
Power Input Board Subassembly-Contains filtering components for the aircraft power line, panel
lighting bus and speaker ground line. Fits onto the main board assembly.
0 Main Board Subassembly-Contains the main operating circuits for the unit. Fits onto the chassis frame.
0 Installation Screw Shaft-Secures the unit chassis into the mounting rack.
1.3 THEORY OF OPERATION
Internally the GMA 340 is divided into three printed circuit boards: Main Board, Front Panel Board and Power
Input Board.
1.3.1 Power Input Board Assembly
The Power Input Board Assembly accepts three power-signal inputs; aircraft power, panel lighting bus line and
the speaker ground line from the main board. The main power input, the panel lighting lines and speaker ground
line are filtered before returning to the main board.
1.3.2 Main Board Assembly
The Main Board Assembly contains the main operating circuits for the audio panel. It accepts audio inputs from
the various pilot and passenger microphones and directs them to the appropriate output. It also accepts audio
from the aircraft avionics receivers and conditions the signals for use among the various phone and speaker
outputs.
The Main Board Assembly also contains the Marker Beacon Receiver. The marker receiver accepts the 75 MHz
signal from the Marker Beacon Antenna. The receiver attenuates the signal to the desired level for either high or
low sensitivity.
The marker beacon circuit detects the 400 Hz, 1300 Hz, and 3000 Hz marker tones. By means of audio filters,
the circuit lights the appropriate marker lamp as the signal is received.
The detected audio tones are also passed to the audio output. When marker audio is present, the tones are heard
on the speaker or phones.
A mute circuit quiets the audio tone when the MKWMUTE button is pressed and automatically rearms the audio
circuit for the next received marker.
1.3.3 Front Panel Board Assembly
The Front Panel Board Assembly contains the panel lighting, button annunciator LED’S, front panel button
switches and the marker beacon lamps.

1. Proper insulation and grounding of jacks, plugs, switches, and shielded wires is required to avoid audio
signal ground loops.
2. To ensure proper shielding and grounding, the test panel should be housed in a conductive metal enclosure.
It is critical that all hardware be electrically isolated from the test panel chassis to avoid audio ground loops.
3. Unless otherwise noted, all wires used in the test panel are 24 AWG.
4. Aircraft power leads should be as short as possible and routed near the test panel faceplate. Use 22 AWG
wire for the connections from 52 pins 8 through 11 to the test panel ACFT PWR and ACFT GND banana
jacks.
5. Use a minimal length of RG-188A coax cable or equivalent from the test panel MKR IN connector to 51
pins 1 and 2.
6. All two and three conductor shielded wires must have shields terminated at one end only. The other end
must be left floating from ground.
7. Shielded wires for the harness from the test panel to the unit under test should be terminated to the
respective J1 and 52 connector backshells.
8. Use Belden wire #833 18 and #83333 or equivalent for two and three conductor shielded pairs respectively.
9. Both rotary switches have a dedicated BNC connector for convenient connection to the test equipment.
Deck “A” common of each rotary switch is wired to the appropriate BNC center conductor. Deck “B”
common of each rotary switch is wired to the appropriate BNC outer conductor.
10. The TP GND jack is the single point ground connection between the test panel and the power supply.
Shielded wires within the test panel may terminate to any point on the test panel chassis.
11 . The wiring harness from the test panel to the unit under test should be as short as possible for convenient
testing of the GMA 340.
12. Test panel labeling may be altered to accommodate the GMA 340 Dual ADF. Regardless of labeling, all
functions will be tested on all versions of the unit.
2.4 TEST HARNESS, J1 AND 52 PIN ASSIGNMENTS
The following table provides pin assignment information for connectors J 1 and 52 test harness construction. The
test harness, an integral part of the test panel, is similar to connections in an aircraft.

SECTION 5
TESTING
Individual components and assemblies in the GMA 340 Audio Panel can be
damaged by ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). Observe proper ESD procedures
when troubleshooting the unit.
5.1 GENERAL
Included in this section are the test equipment required, test setup data and testing procedures for units removed
from an aircraft or from storage before use in an aircraft. These tests are intended to be performed with the dust
covers on. After failure of a specific test the unit may be returned to the factory for repair or opened for further
testing and troubleshooting. Repair is limited to replacement of field replaceable assemblies listed in Section 1,
paragraph 1.2.
After completing all necessary maintenance or service accomplish section 5, TESTING to ensure that all
functions are operating properly.
5.2 ADJUSTMENT/MEASUREMENT ACCURACY
Some output parameters are factory adjusted to specific levels. Test levels may not be accurate if the unit has
been readjusted in the field.
5.3 TEST EQUIPMENT PRECAUTIONS
To prevent introducing errors resulting from the connection of voltmeters, oscilloscopes and other test equipment
across the input and output of the GMA 340, all audio voltage measurements should be differential. The
HP-8920B RF Test Set supports this measurement technique (refer to HP-8920B user’s manual.)
Test equipment ground clips must not be left attached to the GMA 340, even when not being used, if the
corresponding test equipment is not isolated from ground. The bench power supply ground must be connected to
earth ground and serve as a single point ground for the entire test setup. If associated test equipment does not
have a provision for isolating input/output BNC ground terminals from power ground, the equipment should be
isolated from power ground using a ground isolator.
5.4 REAR CONNECTORS PRECAUTION
The GMA 340 contains two identical 44-pin connectors designated J1 and 52 located at the rear
of the unit. Avoid misconnection to the unit. Test harness misconnection could cause permanent
damage the GMA 340 unit.
