Hi There
Hopefully you good people can answer a quick question for me. I am currently installing a G3X system into my RV7 build and am confused about terminating the shield drain on the Canbus.
I have watched the 10 Garmin G3X wiring fundamentals videos on Youtube and they seem to show that both ends of the Canbus shield are terminated to the connector backshells at each terminated end of the Canbus which makes sense.
The question and confusion is about the shield drain at every LRU in between the terminated ends. The videos show the shield drain looped into the next piece of Canbus heading to the following LRU ... BUT the shield drain isn't terminated to the Backshall connectors at every LRU?
So the question is, is it acceptable to just loop the shield drains together at each LRU down the Canbus (except for each end device), or should the shield drains not only loop together but be terminated to every device Backshall connector?
Just want to check before I finish all my can bus wiring and get it wrong!
Thanks,
Jonathan
