Garmin GEA 24B Engine Interface Module (Certified)

Garmin GEA 24B (010-02770-01) is a remote-mounted engine interface module that sends engine sensor data to a GI 275 engine indicator or a G3X Touch system. With the GI 275 it serves 4-, 6- and 7-cylinder piston engines in aircraft up to 6,000 lb.

Garmin GEA 24B Engine Interface Module (Certified)

GEA 24B is the engine interface module of Garmin's certified GI 275 engine indicator and G3X Touch systems for piston aircraft: P/N 010-02770-01, unit 011-05991-01. It is mounted remotely in the cabin and weighs 0.336 kg. A US AML STC does not replace EASA approval; a certified EU installation needs an approved modification and a Certificate of Release to Service.

  • Four D-sub connectors: J241 (9 pin), J242 (25 pin), J243 (37 pin) and J244 (50 pin).

  • With the GI 275, one GEA 24B and one GI 275 serve each engine of four, six or seven cylinders. Turbine engines are not supported.

  • Unit weight is 0.336 kg (0.74 lb); with the D-sub connectors Garmin gives 1.6 lb (0.73 kg).

  • With the GI 275, installations are limited to single and twin piston aircraft up to 6,000 lb take-off weight and a 32,000 ft service ceiling.

  • Resistive fuel floats connect directly, with a 0–620 Ω sensor configuration; the GEA 24 needed parallel resistors.

  • Garmin lists unit 011-05991-01, Mod 0 and Mod 1, in the G3X Touch AML STC SA01899WI. This is a US approval, not an EASA one.

Connectors and mounting

Connectors and mounting

J241 (9 pin), J242 (25 pin), J243 (37 pin) and J244 (50 pin) carry the power, communication and sensor connections. The module is mounted with the connector face and status LED visible, in the fuselage cabin, in any orientation; with the GI 275, connectors pointing down are preferred.

It does not go in the engine compartment or where water or fluids reach it. Garmin asks for at least three inches of free space at the connector end and an electrical bond to the airframe.

Part numbers and Mod levels

Garmin P/N 010-02770-01 is the certified GEA 24B, unit 011-05991-01. The GI 275 installation manual and the G3X Touch installation manual both list the pair, and the G3X Touch manual shows Mod 0 and Mod 1; any individual or combination of these is approved under the STC.

A Garmin notification of October 2024 approves the unit with Mod 1 marking, which removes voltage transients on CHT 5 and 6 seen with Mod 0 units. The experimental GEA 24B, P/N 010-02770-00, is a separate product for G3X systems in experimental aircraft.

With the GI 275

The GEA 24B collects the engine sensor signals and passes the parameters to the GI 275 over RS-232. An installation consists of one GEA 24B and one GI 275 per engine, with four-, six- or seven-cylinder piston engines; the GEA 24B is limited to single and twin piston aircraft up to 6,000 lb and a 32,000 ft service ceiling.

In some twin-engine installations the GEA 24B cannot be connected to resistive fuel floats; the aircraft model notes in the GI 275 manual apply. The GEA 24B of a GI 275 cannot be shared with a G3X Touch system.

With the G3X Touch

In a G3X Touch system the GEA 24B is the optional engine adapter and is connected to the displays over the CAN bus; depending on the CAN bus layout, a Garmin terminator (011-02887-00) may be required at the module. The STC covers aircraft with a single piston engine up to 6,000 lb and six seats or fewer.

Garmin lists the engine types the G3X Touch engine indication does not support: turbine, radial, liquid-cooled, more than six cylinders, multiple engines and engines with FADEC. The module must sit in a flammable-fluid-free zone in the cabin.

Replacing a GEA 24

Garmin states that STC SA01899WI approves the GEA 24B as an update of the GEA 24, for new installations or to replace the original part number. For most interfaces the two use the same wiring and configuration.

The fuel quantity inputs differ. A GEA 24 needed resistors between the resistive fuel floats and the unit; a GEA 24B takes the floats directly in new installations. If a GEA 24 is replaced, the resistors may stay in the harness, but the fuel quantity calibration must be repeated.
