Hi everyone,

Was wondering if anyone might have some field application photos they can share for the G3X, "Sub-assembly, external component kit for Rotax 912 rpm, and oil pressure senders.

Garmin PT#(K00-00514-00 G3X engine Sensor Kit, Rotax 912)

I called tech support and they were very helpful as to where they are identified in the install manual, but not how to field install behind the unit. See page 486 in the manual, see note 12.

I'd like to learn how to best install per the application, including how to test polarity, or face the silicon/zener diodes, and resistor, the proper direction per the pin references on the manual.

Any information on how to, or pics of the install is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I bought the 912 engine instrument install kit like you did. Did not end up using it. I need to put it up for sale as I needed different sensors with a turbo. Anyhow......I called stein air and they sell the resistors for the rpm signal and for the oil pressure sensor. They have them installed on a pcb which makes them much easier to install inline. Just an idea

Being a novice to this wiring task, pcb meaning... personal control board?

PCB = printed circuit board
