NSTALLING THE GDL
To obtain the best possible performance, install the GDL 30/30A according to the following
instructions. If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin Product Support or
seek the advice or a professional installer.

Mounting the GDL 30/30A

Mount the GDL 30/30A in a location that is dry and well-ventilated. Avoid mounting the unit
where it may become submerged or exposed to extreme temperatures. Verify there is enough
clearance to attach the cables to the unit. If you want to view the blink codes, make sure the
Status LED is visible.

1. Using the unit as a template, mark the location of the mounting holes. If needed, additional
holes can be drilled in the side mounting flanges.
2. Secure the GDL 30/30A using the appropriate fasteners.

AGC/3AG 2.0 amp fuse holder from the Red wire.
2. Connect the Black wire to the negative (-) terminal of the battery.
3. Connect the power cable to the GDL 30/30A 7-pin connector labeled POWER.
