Pitot heat monitoring

Post by glennpretorius »

I have a regulated garmin pitot heat installed. (GAD 26)

The installation manual gives you the option of monitoring the status of the Pitot heat ie. A GSX CAS message.

I would like to use the option that will display a Green Pitot Heat CAS message when pitot is selected ON and temperature of the Pitot Probe is above 25 celcius.

This can be done by programing a particular Discrete (GEA 24) on the G3X configuration menu in config mode.

There is a Blue wire from the Pitot GAD 26 regulator unit which runs from the pitot to the GEA 24. This provides sensor information to the GEA 24.

I am trying to establish which Discrete option is typically used on the GEA 24 unit? (Without having to look behind the instrument panel)
