10.1 Equipment Description

The GEA 24 is an input/output system used to monitor and power engine and airframe sensors for the

Experimental – Amateur Built (E-AB) and Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) markets. In a G3X Touch system, two GEA 24 units may be installed to monitor and display engine data for twin-engine aircraft, or singleengine aircraft with more than six cylinders. The second GEA 24 must be configured as EIS #2 as

described in Section 26.5.16

.

• 9 pin network-power connector

• 50 pin miscellaneous connector for airframe sensors

• 25 pin thermocouple input connector

• 37 pin miscellaneous connector (for airframe sensors) will provide for the following input/output functionality:

◦ Configure analog, digital, and discrete I/O capability

◦ Output digital measurement of analog input resistive sensors

◦ Output digital measurement of analog input voltages

◦ Output digital state of discrete input sources

◦ Output frequency measurement of digital input sources

◦ Control of discrete annunciator outputs

NOTE

If a GEA 24 is installed in a system that also includes a GSU 73, the GEA 24 must be

configured as EIS #2 as described in Section 26.5.16
