Introduction to this Guide This guide provides an overview of the installation of a Dynon Avionics SkyView system as a conversion from an installed Dynon Avionics EFIS system: EFIS-D6, EFIS-D10A, EFIS-D60, EFISD100, and the EFIS portion of the Dynon Avionics FlightDEK-D180. This guide provides an overview of the installation of a Dynon Avionics SkyView system as a conversion from an installed Dynon Avionics EMS system: EMS-D10, EMS-D120, and the EMS portion of the Dynon Avionics FlightDEK-D180.
This guide will be revised as SkyView features evolve. If you have suggestions for this guide, please submit comments via email to: support@dynonavionics.com with Subject: Conversion To SkyView Guide.
Major Differences Between Dynon Avionics EFIS, EMS, and SkyView There is no integration or communication between Dynon Avionics EFIS and EMS units and SkyView Because of the enhanced capabilities of SkyView, there is no “backwards compatibility” for SkyView systems to be able to communicate or interoperate with a Dynon Avionics EFIS or EMS.
Redundancy / failover is integral to SkyView A SkyView system is more network-centric and redundant than an EFIS and EMS. Many of the specific recommendations for installing a SkyView system focus on maintaining redundancy. SkyView is designed to minimize single point failures, provided redundant units are installed. Examples: If a SkyView display fails, all flight and engine data can be displayed on another SkyView display.
The SV-GPS-250 transmits position updates 5x/second (5 Hz), so the airplane movement is displayed smoothly on SkyView’s high resolution terrain and map pages. Most other GPS units only output data 1x/second. At $200, the SV-GPS-250 is a relative bargain; inexpensive enough to have multiple units installed (especially feasible if multiple SkyView displays are installed). The SV-GPS-250 is an integrated antenna and receiver – no difficult routing and termination of coaxial cable, only four 22 AWG wires.
SkyView Compatibilities with Dynon Avionics EFIS and EMS Systems SkyView is compatible with the following Dynon accessories that may be part of a Dynon Avionics EFIS or EMS system: All engine monitoring sensors sold by Dynon – CHT, EGT, oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure, amps, fuel flow, etc.
SkyView Incompatibilities with Dynon Avionics EFIS and EMS Systems SkyView is not compatible with the following Dynon accessories that may be part of a Dynon Avionics EFIS or EMS system: AP74 – SkyView does not support the AP74 Autopilot Control Panel. SkyView has eight pushbuttons and two knobs / joysticks, so Autopilot control is as easy with SkyView as it is with the AP74.
Third Party Transponders – The following transponders may be installed in a Dynon Avionics EFIS installation, but are not supported in SkyView.
SkyView Mechanical Installation Considerations Complete, detailed mechanical installation details, including dimensioned mechanical drawings, for installing a SkyView system are in the SkyView System Installation Guide. The SV-D700 (7” SkyView display) is slightly larger than the mounting bracket for a Dynon Avionics EFIS-D60, EFIS-D100, EMS-D120, or FlightDEK-D180, so some panel rework will be required to install an SV-D700 in place of those units.
General Electrical Installation Considerations Complete electrical installation details for installing a SkyView system are in the SkyView System Installation Guide. SkyView systems require more electrical power (current) than a Dynon Avionics EFIS or EMS system - circuit breakers and main wiring, and perhaps even alternator / generator and batteries may need to be upgraded. Specific power requirements for SkyView units are listed in the SkyView System Installation Guide.
Guidelines for Conversion of Dynon Avionics EFIS Harness to SkyView Display SV-HARNESS-D37 As previously mentioned, the EFIS Primary Wiring Harness cannot be adapted for use a SkyView system, and will be removed from the aircraft. This chart explains the signals and wires connected to the EFIS Primary Wiring Harness connecting to other devices that must be rerouted to a SV-HARNESS-D37. EFIS D25 Female Connector Pin No.

Guidelines for Connection of Installed OAT to SV-ADAHRS-200/201 OAT Input It is possible to convert an already-installed Dynon OAT probe that was previously connected to the EDC-D10A, to a SkyView SV-ADAHRS-200 or SV-ADAHRS-201. Instructions for this conversion are in the SkyView System Installation Guide, Chapter 5 – SV-ADAHRS-20X Installation and Configuration, in the section Dynon D10/D100 Series OAT Probes.

Guidelines for Conversion of Dynon Avionics EMS CHT/EGT Harness to SkyView SV-EMS-220 CHT/EGT Harness The CHT/EGT 25-pin connector is “Plug and Play”. If the CHTs and EGTs were installed and working on the Dynon Avionics EMS and no changes are needed, there is no wiring conversion required to work with an SV-EMS-220. The CHT/EGT 25-pin female connector on the SV-EMS220 is electrically compatible with the CHT/EGT 25-pin female connector on a Dynon Avionics EMS.
EMS Sensor Type Conversion to SkyView Sensor Type Dynon EMS’ use numeric sensor types to specify what sensor is connected to a particular input. In SkyView SENSOR INPUT MAPPING, full names and often PNs are used.

Because HS34 Audio was mono, connect this wire to both SkyView Display PIN 13 – AUDIO OUTPUT LEFT and PIN 31 – AUDIO OUTPUT RIGHT If a 10K potentiometer was installed on this wire to adjust volume, remove it (SkyView has internal volume adjustment).
Guidelines for Conversion of HS34 HSI Expansion Module D25 Female Connector to SV-HARNESS-D37 and SkyView SV-EMS-220 Main Sensor Harness As previously mentioned, the HS34 is not compatible with a SkyView system. This chart explains the signals and wires that may be rerouted on the existing HS34 harness for conversion to a SkyView SV-ARINC-429 module. Dynon has never supplied a harness for HS34, so there are no standardized wire colors – you will have to match pin numbers with wire colors.

Guidelines for Conversion of AP74 Dedicated Autopilot Interface Module to SV-HARNESS-D37 As previously mentioned, the AP74 is not used in the SkyView system. This chart explains the signals and wires (only the audio) that, if used, must be rerouted for conversion to a SkyView SV-HARNESS-D37. Dynon has never supplied a harness for AP74, so there are no standardized wire colors – you will have to match pin numbers with wire colors. AP74 Male Connector Pin No.
Guidelines for Conversion of Dynon Avionics Autopilot Servos The primary change for a servo converting to SkyView is that the servo’s White/Blue and White/Green wires (unused in Dynon Avionics EFIS systems) now need to be brought forward to connect to the SkyView Network along with the Blue and Green wires that previously connected to the EFIS and EMS DSAB network. Note: To connect to SkyView, Autopilot servos must have a (EFIS) firmware version installed of at least v5.2.
Guidelines for Conversion of Accessories The Dynon Heated AOA Pitot Probe Controller includes an output that is used to indicate failure of the heating system. Because of limited inputs on a Dynon Avionics EMS, this circuit was often wired to a separate indicator light. Because SkyView SV-EMS-220 has more available inputs, it is common to connect the “Heater Failure” output to the SV-EMS-220 which can then display the status of the “Heater Failure” (red, or green) on the SkyView EMS page.
