Title: Avionics and Electrical
Printed and cut out paper labels to use for initial wiring while waiting for new heat shrink print cartridges. Grouped wire supply by size and labeled each group. Confirmed colors of wires in shielded cables. Started cutting shielded wires for some of the cables going between two components installed in the panel. Then started working through questions that came up during connections to the GDU 460. Decided to run a single ground to the GDU. Decided on the order of components on the CAN bus. Decided on device order for CAN bus routing. Starting from the end behind the instrument panel to the end in the fuselage: GDU 470 (CAN termination), G5, GSU 25, GAD 29, GTR 200, GNX 375, GMC 507, GAD 27, GEA 24, GSA 28 Roll, GSA 28 Pitch, GMU 11 (CAN termination) Started working on where to install the backup power bus and whether to use a terminal block or a yellow AMP PIDG butt splice. Decided to use a splice after testing how it worked to place thirteen 20 AWG wires in a single splice (7 on one side and 6 on the other). See picture with the protective plastic cut away for better visibility. I got this idea from an Aeroelectric example. Also worked on a mounting location for the Diode-Or packages and added a screw for mounting them to the McMaster Car order. The plan is to route all the wires to the GDU and terminate the GDU connector. Then test to have enough service loop to allow the GDU to be unscrewed and disconnected without the service loop being too long and interfering with other components behind the panel. Then I will repeat this process on the G5. Checked on engine status. It should ship any day now. Sent email to Superior Components (Instrument panel company) asking about their new thin EL panel.
