2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The GDL 82 is a remote-mounted unit that contains 978 MHz and 1030 MHz transmitters, and a 1090
MHz receiver. It is installed in-line with the existing transponder and L-Band antenna. The GDL 82
transmits ownship ADS-B Out data via the UAT data link using the existing transponder’s L-Band
antenna. The GDL 82 utilizes the direct in-line connection to synchronize with the aircraft transponder via
1030 MHz interrogations to obtain the transponder Squawk (Mode 3/A) code, IDENT status and pressure
altitude.
ADS-B equipment requires GPS/SBAS data for ADS-B Out transmissions. Only the GPS/SBAS data
sources specified in the GDL 82 Mooney M20() Series STC Installation Manual, 190-01810-10, are
approved by this STC to interface with the GDL 82.
The GDL 82 uses the following interfaces:
• Aircraft Power and Ground
• Transponder Coaxial Connection
• L-Band Coaxial Connection
• GPS Coaxial Connection – Used only for internal GPS source
• 1 RS-232 I/O – Used only for external GPS source
• 1 Discrete Output – Failure Annunciator (optional)
• 2 Discrete Inputs – Anonymous Mode Switch and Squat Switch (optional)
• USB Interface – Configuring GDL 82 and Loading Software from PC
The GDL 82 System Interface Diagram is shown in Figure 2-1.

3 CONTROL & OPERATION
The GDL 82 user control interface is limited to ADS-B OUT FAIL annunciator and the UAT
ANONYMOUS mode switch, installation of either or both is optional. The primary ADS-B Out UAT
transmit function of the GDL 82 does not require direct user input.
Refer to the GDL 82 Pilot’s Quick Start Guide, 190-01810-03, and the Airplane Flight Manual
Supplement for the GDL 82 Mooney M20 Series, 190-01810-12, for control and operation information.
3.1 GDL 82 Install Tool
The GDL 8X Install Tool (Garmin Part Number: 006-A0248-20) allows for configuration, diagnostics,
and software loading. The tool is available for download from the Garmin Dealer Resource Center and
flyGarmin.com. The GDL 8X Install Tool requires a computer with Microsoft Windows XP or later and
an available USB 2.0 port.
A USB A-to-B cable is required to interface between a computer and the GDL 82, refer to Figure 3-1 for
details.
Figure 3-1: USB A and USB B Connectors
The GDL 82 Install Tool provides access to the following functions -
• Diagnostics – reports device information, faults, interface status and other information for post
installation checkout procedures. It also allows the unit assert log to be saved and cleared.
• Configuration – allows selection of installation options.
• System Update – allows upload of software to the GDL 82 unit.
To utilize the GDL 82 Install Tool, first disconnect power from the GDL 82, and then connect the USB
cable. Restore power to the GDL 82, and then run the GDL 8X Install Tool.
The GDL 8X Install Tool will automatically detect which unit it is interfaced with (e.g., GDL 82 or GDL
84/88). To use the GDL 82 Install Tool verify that the GDL 82 unit is checked Present and select the
GDL 82 button. See Figure 3-2.

Appendix A of this manual for equipment locations. Refer to model specific Aircraft Maintenance
Manual for instructions on removing access panels or covers.
4.4.1 GDL 82 Visual Inspection
1. Inspect the GDL 82 unit and verify it is securely mounted.
2. Inspect unit fasteners and verify they are properly torqued and show no wear or damage.
Additionally -
a. Verify unit support structure is in good condition and its integrity is not compromised.
b. Inspect for corrosion and treat as required following procedures prescribed in Aircraft
Maintenance Manual.
3. Inspect any bonding straps for corrosion, loose connections, or signs of damage.
4. Inspect the condition of the wiring harness and coaxial cables.

5 TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 General
This section provides information to assist troubleshooting if problems occur after completing
maintenance. Refer to the GDL 82 Configuration and Checkout Log retained in the aircraft permanent
maintenance records for a list of the interfaced equipment and system configuration data. When
troubleshooting the GDL 82, refer to the wire routing drawings and interconnect wiring diagrams that are
retained in the aircraft permanent records.
The following tables describe possible symptoms associated with the Garmin GDL 82 and provides
corresponding actions for troubleshooting. The symptoms described in the Problems column may be
possible causes of the ADS-B OUT FAIL lamp being illuminated. After completing each corrective
action, perform the appropriate return to service procedure in accordance with Section 8. If any system
fault persists after performing the associated troubleshooting actions, return the GDL 82 to Garmin for
service. See Section 6 for details.
Table 5-1: General Troubleshooting Guide
Problem
Possible Cause(s)
Corrective Action
The GDL 8X Install Tool does not indicate the
GDL 82 as Present (i.e., the GDL 8X Install
Tool will not connect to the GDL 82 unit).
• GDL 82 is not receiving
power
• Improper wiring
• Circuit breaker open
• Ensure the XPDR/UAT
circuit breaker is closed.
• Ensure the GDL 82 connector
is securely mated to the GDL
82 unit.
• Ensure the GDL 82 is
connected to the PC via USB
cable.
• Ensure the GDL 82 wiring is
correct.
Poor Interfacing Transponder Performance.
(i.e., transponder does not pass Title 14 CFR
Part 43 Appendix F, RF Peak Output Power
and Receiver Sensitivity levels.)
• GDL 82 is not receiving
power
• Due to the nature of antenna
radiation patterns, nulls or
marginal conditions may be
observed when measuring a
utilized radiated signal from
the aircraft.
• Transponder antenna is
damaged or improperly
installed.
• Coaxial cable has too high
insertion loss.
• Coaxial connectors are
improperly installed or
damaged.
• Transponder requires service
• Ensure the XPDR/UAT
circuit breaker is closed.
• Ensure the GDL 82 connector
is sealed and mated to the
GDL 82 unit.
• Ensure the GDL 82 wiring is
correct.
• Check and verify integrity of
the antenna installation,
ground planes, and coaxial
cable.
• Check for proper electrical
bonding/grounding of the
antenna installation.
• Ensure the coaxial cable is
properly rated (e.g., RG-400
or better) for the length of run
with the GDL 82 insertion
loss accounted for (see GDL
82 Mooney STC IM, 190-
01810-10, Sec. 3.3, for

the GDL 82 Install Tool (ref. Section 5.3):
o Source: Internal
o Time Mark: Active (green box)
o Interface Status: Receiving (green box)
• Check the integrity of the GPS antenna installation,
connections, and coaxial cable condition.
• Ensure GPS antenna has a clear, unobstructed view of
the sky.
• Wait approximately 20 minutes for the GDL 82 to
acquire position. The Diagnostics / GPS Sat Status
page of the GDL 82 Install Tool can show if the GPS is
acquiring satellites, indicated by a green boxes per
Channel.
• The GDL 82 is not
receiving GPS
position from its
external GPS source.
• Ensure the external GPS source is on and has acquired a
position fix.
• Verify the GDL 82 and external GPS source are
configured properly.
• Verify the following in the Diagnostics / GPS page of
the GDL 82 Install Tool (ref. Section 5.3):
o Source: External
o Time Mark: Active (green box)
o Interface Status: Receiving (green box)
• Ensure the wiring from the GDL 82 to the external GPS
source is connected properly. The time mark out from
the external GPS source must be connected to the
correct time mark on the GDL 82 in accordance with
the GDL 82 Mooney M20() Series STC Installation
Manual, 190-01810-10.
Control Panel (XPDR) Input
Fault

IDENT status, or
pressure altitude.
• Ensure transponder has power and is properly wired.
• Ensure the transponder is operating in altitude reporting
(ALT) mode.
• Ensure interfacing transponder is NOT Mode S.
• Check the coaxial cable and connections between the
GDL 82 and interfacing transponder.

5.2 ADS-B OUT FAIL Annunciator
When one or more faults are present, the ADS-B OUT FAIL annunciator (if installed) will illuminate to
indicate that the ADS-B Out transmission is not operational or that required input interface(s) have failed
(e.g., GPS source or transponder).
5.3 GDL 82 Install Tool
The GDL 82 Install Tool can act as a troubleshooting interface to the GDL 82. When connected to the
GDL 82, the Diagnostics / Faults page of the GDL 82 Install Tool, shown in Figure 5-1, displays faults
reported by the GDL 82 as Active and all other faults as Inactive.
The Diagnostics / GPS page, shown in Figure 5-2, can indicate if the GDL 82 is receiving a valid GPS
signal for either the Internal or External source when the Nav Status shows a green box with either 3D Fix
or 3D Diff Fix.
