You can also optionally sign up to receive other Dynon news and product announcements.
5. The EMS 37-pin Main Sensor Harness includes a 9-pin connector that is wired to pins 11 (Orange wire), 12 (Yellow wire), and 30 (Black wire). This connector is used for other Dynon products, but is not used in SkyView installations. Thus, the 9-pin connector should be removed to use these wires for connecting sensors to the SV-EMS-220. Remove the connector by cutting the three wires close to the 9-pin connector. 6. SkyView SETUP MENU is accessed by pushing and holding Buttons 7+8 together for 2-3 seconds.
Introduction b. Ensure that a valid HEX CODE is set: SETUP > TRANSPONDER SETUP > AIRCRAFT HEX CODE. A caution message – XPNDR HEX CODE NOT SET will appear if a transponder is configured in SkyView, but the HEX CODE is not set to a valid number. c. Traffic will not be displayed unless you are in an area covered by an TIS radar site (US only) 15. Common issues for setting up Dynon Autopilot a. Servos must be powered ON b. Servos must be recognized on SkyView Network (above) c.
2. System Planning Installers should read and understand this chapter before proceeding with physical installation. SkyView equipment installed contrary to the requirements outlined in this chapter may not operate within specifications.
System Planning Power Consumption Table 2 contains power specifications for typical SkyView systems. Note that SkyView displays (SV-D700, SV-D1000, SV-D1000T) provide power to SV-ADAHRS-200/201, SV-EMS-220/221, SVARINC-429, SV-KNOB-PANEL, the “control panel section” of SV-AP-PANEL, and the SV-GPS-250. Thus the individual power requirements of those units are not shown; their power requirements are included in the power requirements of the SkyView display(s).
System Planning Table 3 contains power specifications for SkyView modules that are powered from ship’s power (not powered by SkyView Network). A 5A circuit breaker is recommend in most cases because that is the smallest circuit breaker that is commonly available in certified versions. Current requirement @ 12 volt DC 0.2A maximum 4.0A maximum (depends on the trim motors used) 3.0A maximum (transmitting) 2.0A maximum (transmitting) 0.
System Planning Major Component Physical Specifications Table 4 contains physical specifications (dimensions are approximate—see respective installation chapters for exact dimensions). Physical Specifications SV32 SV42 SV52 SV-ADAHRS-200/201 SV-ADSB-470 SV-AP-PANEL SV-ARINC-429 SV-BAT-320 SV-COM-425 SV-COM-PANEL SV-COM-T8 (w/mounting tray) SV-D700 SV-D1000 SV-D1000T SV-EMS-220/221 SV-GPS-250 SV-KNOB-PANEL SV-XPNDR-261/262 (w/mounting tray) Dimensions 2.47” W x 4.20“ H x 3.
System Planning Temperature Specifications Table 5 contains environmental specifications.
System Planning General System Installation Tips Aircraft construction involves a variety of processes that create debris that can damage Dynon Avionics components. Metalwork, in particular, will produce metallic shavings and dust that may damage or destroy the electronics in Dynon Avionics products if they are contaminated with this debris. Care should be taken to ensure that Dynon Products are kept away from aircraft construction debris.
System Planning To protect against aircraft electrical failures and anomalies, Dynon Avionics STRONGLY RECOMMENDS that each SkyView display has an SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery connected to it. SkyView’s attitude algorithm normally uses airspeed to provide superior accuracy. If a problem develops with your airspeed reading due to mechanical blockage of pitot, disconnection of pitot, or other pitot/static issues, a properly connected and configured GPS source acts as a substitute.
System Planning SV-ADAHRS-200 and SV-ADAHRS-201 Proper installation of the SV-ADAHRS-200/201 module(s) is critical. PFD performance is significantly linked to a proper ADAHRS installation. The installation location must meet all of the mechanical, magnetic, orientation, and environmental requirements detailed below. An SV-ADAHRS-200/201 installation location should be a rigid surface within 12 feet longitudinally and 6 feet laterally of the aircraft's center-of-gravity. Figure 1 illustrates this criterion.
System Planning dynamic magnetic fields (e.g., AC currents, non-constant DC currents, and non-stationary ferrous material such as electric turn coordinators and control surfaces). Thus, you must avoid mounting the module close to sources of dynamic magnetic fields, avoid wires that carry large amounts of current, and use non-magnetic fasteners for installation (see caution below).
System Planning must be on the bottom. The label must be on the top. Figure 2 shows the correct orientation of the ADAHRS as it would appear if you were above the aircraft, looking down at it. The module will not operate properly if it is rotated or inverted in any other orientation. There are no module-to-module proximity requirements when installing multiple SV-ADAHRS-200/201 modules in an aircraft. For example, one SV-ADAHRS200/201 may be installed on top of another SV-ADAHRS-200/201 module.
System Planning fuselage of the aircraft for an unobstructed (360° view) of the sky during maneuvers. If the SV-GPS-250 is mounted inside the fuselage (for example, on the top of the panel), the SVGPS-250’s view of the sky is partially obstructed, and GPS performance may be marginal in situations such as insufficient number of satellites “in view” through the windscreen.
System Planning Location should be near the display. A 24” cable is included on the SV-HARNESS-D37 for connecting the SV-BAT-320. This cable should not be extended. Avoid locations that are subject to severe vibration. Avoid locations that are subject to extended temperature ranges. The battery module has a narrower operating temperature range than other SkyView modules. Avoid locations that are subject to extreme humidity. Leave room for electrical connections.
System Planning Mounting Requirements Some SkyView modules include mounting fasteners, while some do not. Mounting fasteners are included as a convenience and installers are not required to use them. Use sensible mounting techniques when installing equipment in suitable locations. You should reference individual equipment chapters for information regarding installation instructions.
System Planning Splitters and Gender Changers Splitters (SV-NET-SPL) use aircraft-grade Tefzel® wiring, consist of a male D9 input connector and two female D9 output connectors, are 1 foot long, and include a connector gender changer (SV-NET-CHG). They add another module connection point in the network. An example application for a splitter is the connection of primary and backup ADAHRS in a SkyView network off one network cable coming from a display.
System Planning Figure 4 – SV-NET-HUB Dimensions Test SkyView Network Cable SkyView displays are supplied with a test SkyView network cable that is intended for bench top testing only. The test network cable is not built with aircraft-grade Tefzel® wiring and should not be permanently installed in an aircraft. Ethernet Connection SkyView systems that have more than one display should have their Ethernet ports permanently connected together.
System Planning The Ethernet connection between SkyView displays is made in addition to the 9 pin SkyView Network connections, and should be connected on a permanent basis like other SkyView wiring. Dynon Avionics strongly recommends “Low Smoke Zero Halogen” Ethernet cables for use in aircraft, but any Ethernet cable – whether it is a “crossover” or normal “straight” type Ethernet cable - will technically work. Low Smoke Zero Halogen Ethernet cables are available from Dynon Avionics (SV-ETHERNET-3CC).
System Planning Dynon Part Number SV-NET-SERVO SV-NET-TEST SV-NET-HUB Description SkyView Network Cabling Kit for Autopilot Servos (includes 20 feet of wires, connectors, connector shells, crimp contacts, insertion tool, heat shrink, and zip ties). One SV-NET-SERVO is used for each servo in most installations. SkyView Network Test Cable–Not Aircraft-Grade. One SV-NET-TEST is shipped with each SkyView display.
System Planning Figure 7 – SkyView System with Two Redundant Displays, One EMS, Two Backup Batteries (One per Display), One GPS, and Two Redundant ADAHRS Note, that in Figure 7, the SV-GPS-250’s power, ground, and output wires are connected to both displays. The following diagrams show two different ways to lay out a more complex system in which there are more SkyView Network modules than available SkyView Network ports.
System Planning Figure 8 – SkyView System with Two Redundant Displays, One EMS, Two Backup Batteries (One per Display), Two Redundant GPS, Two Redundant ADAHRS, Two Servos, and one Transponder using splitters (legacy installation method) Note, that in Figure 8, each SV-GPS-250’s power, ground, and output wires are connected to both displays on different serial ports. The primary SV-GPS-250 should be connected to serial port 5 on each display.
System Planning Figure 9 – SkyView System with Two Redundant Displays, One EMS, Two Backup Batteries (One per Display), Two Redundant GPS, Two Redundant ADAHRS, Two Servos, and one Transponder using a hub (recommended installation method) Note, that in Figure 9, each SV-GPS-250’s power, ground, and output wires are connected to both displays on different serial ports. The primary SV-GPS-250 should be connected to serial port 5 on each display.
System Planning Serial Devices and SV-ARINC-429 Installation and Configuration sections of this guide for more information regarding external data sources. The SV-GPS-250’s GPS data alone is only a position source (and only a subset of the data provided by other, external GPS devices such as a Garmin X96). It cannot provide navigation without the Navigation Mapping Software and appropriate aviation databases installed. Table 7 outlines the functionality enabled by each source.
3. Basic SkyView Display Operation After reading this chapter, you should be familiar with basic SkyView display operation including how to use joysticks and buttons, how to turn displays on and off, how to access and navigate menus, how to configure SkyView networks, and how to perform firmware updates and other file operations. The SkyView SV-D700 and SV-D1000 displays are identical in functionality and presentation. The only difference is in the size and resolution of the screen.
Basic SkyView Display Operation Display Bezel Layout The following diagram illustrates the front of an SV-D1000 display and its important parts. Figure 10 – SkyView Display Front Bezel Layout Note the top bar, screen, joystick and button labels, light sensor, two joysticks and eight buttons. The top bar displays important textual information. The top bar shows time, autopilot status, and transponder status.
Basic SkyView Display Operation The set of button labels displayed immediately after the display turns on is referred to as the Main Menu. Each SkyView display has an integrated light sensor in the bezel. This light sensor can be used for automatic backlight level management. Reference the Display Setup Section of this guide for instructions on how to configure the display for automatic backlight level management.
Basic SkyView Display Operation A button has a function if there is a label above it. If there is no label, there is no function. The figure below shows an example button label. Figure 12 – Example Button Label When you press a button, its label is highlighted. When you let go, that button’s action is invoked. Button labels are called out in all capital letters such as BACK, EXIT, FINISH, and CLEAR. This guide directs users to press a button by using its label.
Basic SkyView Display Operation SkyView Touch SV-D1000T displays can be controlled via touch in addition to using the conventional buttons and joystick knobs. During normal usage, many of the on-screen elements can be touched to control SkyView. Details about how touch is used in-flight are covered in the SkyView Pilot’s User Guide. However, touch controls are not enabled in the SkyView Setup Menu and aren’t generally used during installation and initial setup.
Basic SkyView Display Operation Move either joystick toward the left (saves settings) OR Press BACK (saves settings) OR Press CANCEL (does not save settings) Press ACCEPT Press DEFAULT Return to previous menu Save adjusted value Reset adjustable value Save settings and return to Main Menu Press EXIT Table 8 – Menu Navigation Summary Basic Display Operation Procedures This subsection covers basic operation procedures for displays.
Basic SkyView Display Operation itself until the battery’s charge is depleted or the display is turned off manually pressing and holding button 1. Finally, if neither button is pressed before the countdown expires, the display will automatically turn off after 30 seconds to conserve the backup battery charge. If the aircraft is in flight, SkyView displays the message “AIRCRAFT POWER LOST” with no additional count down.
Basic SkyView Display Operation If the Map Page is onscreen, the joystick closest to the Moving Map is labeled (RNG) and is used to adjust the map’s range. It cannot be assigned a different function. How to Enter the Setup Menus There are two setup menus: the Setup Menu and the In Flight Setup Menu. Simultaneously pressing and holding buttons 7 and 8 will open one of these menus. If airspeed is zero, the Setup Menu opens. If airspeed is greater than zero, the In Flight Setup Menu opens.
Basic SkyView Display Operation XPNDR – This menu allows users to control a Dynon SV-XPNDR-261/262 transponder, if equipped. MAP – This menu allows users to control the Navigation Mapping Software features of SkyView. Note that this button only appears when the SV-MAP-270 software has been purchased and licensed, or when it is in its 30 hour free introductory trial period.
Basic SkyView Display Operation Note that this menu occupies the entire screen. The menus above have menus of their own. The information in this section contains information on the purposes of each of the above menus as well as a list of each menu's respective menus and their functions. Pages and wizards that require users to do something have explicit onscreen instructions. Most actions are simple enough and onscreen instructions are more than adequate.
Basic SkyView Display Operation System Setup Menu This menu contains links to the following menus and pages: NETWORK SETUP – Enter this menu to configure your SkyView network or to check on network status (i.e., display important SkyView module information). SERIAL PORT SETUP – Enter this menu to configure the five general purpose serial ports on the display. AUDIO SETUP – Enter this menu to configure the options and volume for SkyView’s audio output capability.

5. SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration The SkyView ADAHRS module uses MEMS sensor technology to accurately measure inertial, magnetic, and air data. To ensure accuracy in its readings, it is very important that you install the module correctly and perform the specified calibration steps. This chapter guides you through that process. Dynon sells a primary ADAHRS model (SV-ADAHRS-200) and a backup model (SV-ADAHRS-201).
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration Figure 24 – Suggested SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation Procedure Physical Installation As previously mentioned in the System Planning Section, there are no module-tomodule proximity requirements when installing multiple SV-ADAHRS-200/201 modules in an aircraft. For example, one SV-ADAHRS-200/201 may be installed on top of another SV-ADAHRS-200/201 module. Other installation location requirements still apply.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration An SV-ADAHRS-200/201 should be mounted within one degree of parallel to all three aircraft axes, with the pneumatic fittings facing toward the front of the aircraft. To ensure that the Slip/Skid Ball will be displayed as centered during flight, the SVADAHRS-200/201 must be installed to 0° (absolute level). There is no adjustment in SkyView to electronically level the SV-ADAHRS-200/201.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration Pneumatic Ports The AOA, pitot, and static ports on the SV-ADAHRS-200/201 are equipped with 1/8” NPT Female fittings. To attach your pitot and static lines to the module, you must use standard 1/8” NPT male fittings at the end of each of the lines. SkyView’s attitude calculation requires airspeed from pitot and static. A GPS source can be used as a backup if the pitot and/or static source fails, but should not be the primary source.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration Tail wheel equipped aircraft can be calibrated in their normal nose up ground attitude as long as the SkyView attitude display shows the correct corresponding nose up attitude. A working GPS receiver with a view of the sky to acquire GPS data must be connected to the SkyView system in order to perform a compass calibration. SkyView uses GPS-derived position information to calculate magnetic intensity, declination, and variation.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration In-flight Compass Calibration Procedure: The in-flight compass calibration should be conducted on a clear, VFR day. Before commencing the compass calibration, ensure that you have adequate altitude, clear weather, no traffic, no obstructions in the flight path, great visibility, no airspace conflicts, etc. It is recommended that clearing turns be performed before executing each procedure.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration Figure 26 – In-flight Compass Calibration Menu 5. Push the START button to begin the calibration. 6. Observe the NEW CALIBRATION section of the menu. The goal of the in-flight compass calibration is to achieve a compass calibration “quality” of at least 100. 7. The minimum maneuvers for in-flight compass calibration is one 360° turn clockwise, and one 360° turn counterclockwise.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration SV-OAT-340 Location and Installation The SV-OAT-340 is designed specifically to work with the SV-ADAHRS-200/201. For full redundancy, a second ADAHRS module requires its own OAT probe. Probe Location The SV-OAT-340 is an outside air temperature probe. In order for it work properly, it must be able to measure air temperature accurately.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration On the inside of the fuselage (consider getting assistance for some of the steps below because it may be difficult to be simultaneously on the inside and outside of the fuselage): 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Feed the nylon washer over the cable. Feed the nylon nut over the cable. Feed the nylon washer over the body of the probe. Hand-thread the nylon nut onto the threaded body of the probe.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration PFD-Related Settings Once the physical ADAHRS installation is complete, it may be necessary to configure PFDrelated ADAHRS settings for the SkyView system. All ADAHRS settings are automatically shared between displays in multi-display systems. Aircraft Icon The airplane symbol at the center of the compass rose on the PFD Page, and the center of MAP Page can be changed.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration To change which ADAHRS is the PRIMARY ADAHRS, highlight an ALTERNATE ADAHRS and press the PRIMARY button to elevate it to PRIMARY status. To disable an ADAHRS until SkyView is next powered up, simply highlight it with the joystick and press the DISABLE button. To see the same comparison screen that is presented when a cross-check error occurs, press the COMPARE button at the bottom of the display.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration Synthetic Vision License SkyView displays can be purchased with or without a license pre-installed that allows Synthetic Vision to be shown. In order to display Synthetic Vision, each SkyView display must be individually licensed to display it. To check whether a display is licensed to display Synthetic Vision, go to SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > LICENSE, and look at the status of the SYNTHETIC VISION line.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration adjustment affects both the displayed altitude and the encoded altitude that is sent to other devices. It should only be adjusted if altitude is found to be incorrect (by comparing it against a known source or field elevation, AFTER the BARO setting has been set to correctly to known atmospheric conditions) after SkyView has fully warmed up.
SV-ADAHRS-200/201 Installation and Configuration 2. Turn SkyView on and let it warm up until the altitude reading is stabilized. This period should be at least 5 minutes, but may take longer depending on environmental conditions. 3. Turn SkyView off. 4. While SkyView is off, apply the pressure required by your test to pitot and/or static port via your test equipment. 5. Turn on SkyView (external or internal battery power is acceptable). Keep aircraft still while SkyView is powered on.

SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Engine Sensor and Transducer Installation This section explains the steps required to install and connect all sensors and transducers supplied by Dynon Avionics. Additionally, connection instructions are given for some sensors and transducers that Dynon Avionics does not sell, like the tachometer, fuel level, flaps, trim, and contacts.

SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Rotax 912 (except 912 iS) For carbureted Rotax 912 engines, only two of the four cylinders are typically monitored for EGT. Unlike the CHT probes which are mounted on diagonal cylinders, the EGT probes should be mounted on the two rear cylinders’ exhaust manifolds. It is critical that the EGT probes be mounted to parallel cylinders’ exhaust manifolds for proper temperature comparison.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration CHT wire may be extended as well, provided that: 1) Type J thermocouple is used for the extension wire. (This is different than EGT wire) 2) There is no temperature change across the connection between the junction that is created. For example, do not create a junction across the firewall. If either of the above guidelines are not followed, your CHT readings will be incorrect. Dynon Avionics sells and supports a variety of CHT probes.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Depending upon existing equipment and engine type, you have a few options for connecting the tachometer inputs on the SV-EMS-220/221. Table 36 revisits the SV-EMS-220/221 pins that are compatible with RPM sources.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration If, after setting the PULS/REV R and L values as described in the Engine Information Section, you see unstable RPM, you may need to increase the series resistance. We recommend increasing the resistance in increments of approximately 30 kΩ – approx. 30 kΩ, approx. 60 kΩ, approx. 90 kΩ, approx. 120 kΩ, and approx. 150 kΩ. Try each value in sequence.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration volts above ground, and crosses back down below 0.8V relative to ground to be counted as a pulse. For signals that have a peak voltage of 10-12V, either the Standard or Low Voltage RPM inputs can be used. Like the other methods above, you must know the number of pulses per revolution for your RPM transducer.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Oil Pressure Sensor The oil pressure sensor may be connected to any general purpose input pin on the SV-EMS220/221’s D37, however, we recommend that it be connected to pin 6 on this connector. The SV-EMS-220/221 supports several oil pressure sensor installations. The Dynon-supplied sensor and the Rotax and Jabiru pre-installed sensors are the most common.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Rotax 912, Rotax 914, and Jabiru Oil Pressure If you are installing on a Rotax or Jabiru engine, your engine comes with a pre-installed oil pressure sensor. Prior to mid-2008, Rotax provided an oil pressure sensor with 2 tabs for electrical connection. If you are using this sensor, connect one of the tabs to a general purpose input pin and connect the other tab to ground (an SV-EMS-220/221 ground is appropriate.

SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Route the wire from a general purpose input pin on the EMS 37-pin Main Sensor Harness to where the oil temperature sensor is mounted. When routing the wires, make sure that they are secured, so they will not shift position due to vibration. Strip ¼” of insulation off the end of the wire. Crimp a #10 ring terminal onto the end of the wire, ensuring that a good connection is made between the wire and the connector.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration must not be installed directly to the engine due to potential vibration problems. Next, connect the fuel sensor to the engine using appropriate hoses and fittings. Its pressure port has a 1/8-27 NPT pipe thread fitting; you may need adapters to connect to the pressure port on your engine. Locate the correct fuel pressure port for your engine. This port must have a pressure fitting with a restrictor hole in it.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration The UMA N1EU07D sensor is a differential pressure sensor which measures fuel pressure with respect to air box pressure as required by the 914 engine. One UMA N1EU07D sensor is installed on 914 engines, but that sensor is dedicated to the 914 ECU, and the output of the sensor cannot be shared between the ECU and SkyView. To display a 914 engine’s fuel pressure on SkyView, a second UMA N1EU07D sensor must be purchased and installed.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration FloScan 201B sensor only: make note of the numbers on the tag (pulses / gallon) attached to the fuel flow sensor. Dynon Avionics supplies the Electronics International FT-60 (Dynon P/N 100403-003) fuel flow transducer. Dynon no longer supplies the FloScan 201B, but SkyView is compatible with this sensor. The SV-EMS-220/221 supports differential fuel flow sensor installations in Rotax 912 and 914 installations as illustrated in Figure 41.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Do not use Teflon tape when screwing in any of the fittings. EI “Red Cube” Installation The Electronics International “Red Cube” FT-60 flow transducer has ¼” female NPT ports. Do not exceed a torque of 300 inch-lbs. (.112 Nm) when installing fittings into the transducer. The Red Cube FT-60 should NOT be installed with its wires pointing DOWN (the best situation is with the wires pointing UP).
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Fuel Level Sensor Dynon Avionics does not sell fuel level sensors. The SV-EMS-220/221 supports both resistive type sensors as well as capacitive sensors which output a voltage (e.g., Princeton). If you have a capacitive sensor which does not output a voltage on its own, you may be able to use Dynon’s Capacitance-to-Voltage Converter. Read the relevant section below for the type that you are installing. After installation, fuel level sensors must be calibrated.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration First, supply the sensor with power according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the sensor manufacturer requires a sensor calibration, perform that calibration first. Be sure to configure the firmware to recognize the capacitive fuel level sensor on the enhanced general purpose inputs.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Capacitance-to-Voltage Converter installation instructions. Note that SkyView displays are typically preconfigured to use resistive probes. Using capacitive sensors instead of resistive probes requires that you change EMS settings in a few places. First, change the pins used for fuel quantity via the SETUP MENU > EMS SETUP > PIN SENSOR INPUT MAPPING… menu.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Figure 43 – Recommended Amps Shunt Locations (simplified electrical diagram) Use two ¼” ring terminals sized appropriately for the high-current wire gauge you will be routing to and from the ammeter shunt. Cut the wire where you would like to install the ammeter shunt. Strip the wire and crimp on the ring terminals.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration shunt. Slide the ring terminals onto them and screw them back into the base. Connect the “Amps High” lead to the side of the shunt marked by “H” in Figure 43; connect the “Amps Low” lead to the side marked by “L”. If you find that the current reading on the SkyView is the opposite polarity of what you want, swap the two signal inputs (Amps High and Amps Low) to obtain the desired result.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration o Because each individual CS-01 varies somewhat, configuring the CS-01 typically requires an amps "offset" value to be utilized. SkyView provides 17 different offsets via different choices in the SENSOR column. These contain offsets that range from "8" (offset of -8A) through "+8" (offset of +8A).
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Note: If you are converting a Dynon D10/D100 product installation to a SkyView installation, you should remove any resistor that is connected to the Rotax CHTs. They are not needed when used with SkyView. Trim and Flaps Position Potentiometers Position potentiometers may be connected to any general purpose input pin on the SV-EMS220/221’s D37 and must be calibrated according to the instructions found in the EMS Sensor Calibration Section.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Trim and flaps position potentiometers must be calibrated. Your SkyView display utilizes onscreen wizards that help you do this. Go to the EMS Calibration Menu to access these wizards (SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > EMS CALIBRATION). The take-off position will be shown as a green line on the trim widget. If you do not want this marking on your trim widget, press NONE during the take-off position portion of the trim calibration.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration corresponds to the desired general purpose input. Push the two Fastons onto the two terminals on the fuel pressure sensor. Polarity is not important. Note: If you are converting a Dynon D10/D100 product installation to a SkyView installation, you should remove any resistor that is connected to the existing coolant pressure sensor. It is not needed when used with SkyView. Due to vibration issues, never connect the sensor directly to the engine.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Rotax 914 Air Box Temperature Rotax supplies one Skykit Air Box temperature sensor on the 914 for connection to the 914 Turbo Control Unit (TCU). If you wish to monitor Air Box temperature on SkyView, install a second Skykit Air Box temperature sensor and connect it to any general purpose input pin on the SV-EMS-220/221 D37 connector. Connect one of the wires to the input pin, and the other wire to any available ground on the SV-EMS-220/221 D37 connector.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Install the GEAR contact that when the amphibious landing gear is configured for landing on water, the state of the contact is WATR and when the amphibious landing gear is configured for landing on land, the state of the contact is LAND.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration External EMS Warning Light SV-EMS-220/221 D37 pin 29 can be wired and configured as an External Alarm Light To wire EMS D37 pin 29 as an External Alarm Light, you may connect any standard LED or incandescent lamp (1.5 watts maximum), used during EMS-related “red” warning alarm conditions. Ensure that the LED or lamp is designed for the voltage of your system. Mount it to your panel according to its recommendations.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Cruise RPM is used when calculating tach time. Tach time is a measure of engine time normalized to a cruise RPM. If you spend one hour at your cruise RPM, tach time will increment one hour. If you spend 1 hour at 1/2 your cruise RPM, tach time will only increase by 1/2 hour. Tach time is defined as TIME x (CURRENT RPM / CRUISE RPM). Hobbs time is a simple timer that runs whenever the oil pressure is above 15 PSI or the engine is above 0 RPM.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration When OIL TEMP is > 190° F, the OIL TEMP gauge will display different ranges: 100-120 and 230-266° F in YELLOW 120-230° F in GREEN 266-280° F in RED The alarm type for oil temperature is the “self-clearing” type. EMS Sensor Definitions, Mapping, and Settings All sensors must be defined, mapped to SV-EMS-220/221 pins, and have their settings configured. This section describes how sensors are defined, mapped, and set in SkyView.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration SkyView display using the instruction found the How to Load and Delete Files Section. Then update or modify the sensor map and settings based on your installation. Note that it is critical that you should check every setting before operating your engine with them as these files are only a starting point.

SHOW SENSOR UNITS (YES | NO) Some custom developed sensors may warrant a graphical widget that is not expressed in any of the units that SkyView’s EMS supports. In such cases, you can suppress the display of the widget’s actual unit of measurement (volts, degrees, etc.) by setting SHOW SENSOR UNITS to NO.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration enter a pulses/gallon value of 29590 in the pulses/gallon section of SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > EMS CALIBRATION > FUEL FLOW CALIBRATION. If you have lost your tag, a starting pulses/gallon of 30000 will be close enough to begin using the function. If you have the EI FT-60 “Red Cube” (Dynon P/N 100403-003), enter a starting K-VALUE of 68000 under SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > EMS CALIBRATION > FUEL FLOW CALIBRATION.

8. SV-GPS-250 Installation and Configuration This chapter contains information that specifically applies to the installation and configuration of the SV-GPS-250 GPS Receiver module. After reading this chapter, you should be able to determine how to prepare the installation location, mount the module, connect it to a display, and configure it. A valid GPS signal is required for time, compass calibration, and moving map functionality. This signal does not need to come from an SV-GPS-250.
SV-GPS-250 Installation and Configuration Physical Installation For most reliable performance, the SV-GPS-250 (like all GPS devices) requires a clear, unobstructed view of the sky. The SV-GPS-250 is designed to be mounted on the upper fuselage of the aircraft for an unobstructed (360° view) of the sky during maneuvers.
SV-GPS-250 Installation and Configuration Serial Connection SkyView uses the SV-GPS-250 device set to POS 1 as its primary position source. The SV-GPS-250 includes 18 feet of twisted wire for a serial connection to the SkyView display via the display. This wire may be trimmed or lengthened as needed to suit the installation. The color of the SV-GPS-250 wires matches the colors of the wires of the main display harness that are intended for the GPS serial connection.
SV-GPS-250 Installation and Configuration If there is more than one SV-GPS-250 in your system, use the same scheme in Figure 56 on different display serial ports for the other SV-GPS-250 modules, but connect power and ground for the other SV-GPS-250 modules to the same power and ground connections (black and orange wires) that are provided in the serial port 5 wiring bundle on the display harnesses. An example of this configuration follows.
9. SV-BAT-320 Installation This chapter contains information that specifically applies to the installation of the SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery. After reading this chapter, you should be able to determine how to prepare the installation location, mount the module, connect it to a display, monitor its voltage, and make sure it is charged. SkyView displays are designed to work with the SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery. Using any other different battery will void any warranties and is a significant safety hazard.
SV-BAT-320 Installation Physical Installation The diagram below shows the mounting dimensions of the backup battery. Figure 59 – SV-BAT-320 Mounting Dimensions Dynon does not provide mounting hardware for use with the SV-BAT-320. The mounting tabs on each side of the module have holes sized for #8 fasteners. Button head style AN hardware is recommended as spacing between the holes in the tabs and the body of the enclosure limits what style tool can be used to tighten certain fasteners.
SV-BAT-320 Installation Electrical Connection Connect the SV-BAT-320 module’s connector to the mating connector on the main display harness. Battery Charging SkyView displays automatically manage their connected battery’s charge level. If it becomes discharged, simply turning the SkyView display on – when SkyView’s input voltage is higher than 12.25 volts – will cause the battery to charge.
SV-BAT-320 Installation Detailed Battery Status Check Enter the Display Hardware Information Page (SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > BATTERY BACKUP (SV-BAT-320) STATUS to check the status of the battery. BATTERY CONNECTED (BATTERY DETECTED): YES / NO o SkyView automatically sets this to yes when a battery is installed. LAST BATTERY SHUTDOWN: o NORMAL o ABNORMAL: The last shutdown of SkyView did not happen normally.
SV-BAT-320 Installation powered up will gradually diminish. When this time is less than 45 minutes, the battery should be replaced. This test tests the actual capacity of your battery by fully discharging it while recording the time elapsed. If the SkyView system has more than one display with a backup battery installed, perform the test for each display individually. Power off all but one display during the test. Test Procedure 1. Fully charge the SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery.
10. Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration This chapter contains generic mechanical and electrical installation guidelines for the Dynon servos mentioned in Table 46. Plane-specific kits purchased from Dynon contain detailed drawings and diagrams which are intended to be used in conjunction with this guide as a complete set of installation instructions. A complete list of aircraft mounting kits is available on the current Price List/Order Form at http://store.dynonavionics.com.

Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration and associated linkage to move freely through the entire range of travel. To prevent the possibility of the servo arm going OVER CENTER, the servo arm must not travel more than a total of +/-60° from neutral position. When the aircraft controls are centered, the arm of the servo should be perpendicular to the attaching push rod. If this is not the case, we recommend adjusting the length of the push rod or consider a different mounting point.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration Push-Pull Servo Dimensions Use the following dimensions (in inches) for reference when planning and implementing your installation. Long-arm variants (not needed in most installations) have linkage mount holes at 1.5” (38.1mm), 1.75” (44.5mm) , and 2.0” (50.1mm) L SV32 2.17” (55.1mm) SV42 3.10” (78.7mm) SV52 4.02” (102.1mm) SkyView System Installation Guide – Revision S Weight 2 lb.

Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration Linkage Mount Position Force and Travel The two diagrams below illustrate the maximum travel and force available at each linkage mounting point. As can be seen, the closer you mount the linkage to the shaft, the more force the servo can deliver. However, this also means the travel of the arm is shorter. Again, ensure that the servo arm is nowhere near going over-center throughout the entire range of the control system.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration called out maximum linear travel specification. If too much slippage occurs during servo flight testing, it may be necessary to use a stronger servo. Each Dynon Avionics servo includes a precision-machined brass shear screw that pins the servo arm to the servo arm attachment, providing an ultimate manual override. Servo shear screws will break at the application of 100 inch-pounds of torque, at which point the servo arm will travel freely.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration Figure 62 – Servo Range of Motion Limiting Bracket, Front Figure 63 – Servo Range of Motion Limiting Bracket - Isometric The bushings and other mechanical components in Dynon Avionics Autopilot servos are self-lubricating and should not be additionally lubricated. Minimizing Free Play It is important that the autopilot servo have positive control of the aircraft control surface when engaged.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration mode SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > SERVO CALIBRATION > TEST (you can start this test, proceed to the step where it first activates and immobilizes the servos, and then cancel the test mode once you’ve performed this free play test). Gently attempt to move the aircraft control surface by manipulating it manually by hand.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration Autopilot System Electrical Installation Figure 64 provides an overview of the autopilot electrical system. Note that SkyView supports up to two servos.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration Servo Electrical Installation Dynon Avionics’ servos are supplied with 7 unterminated wires, each about 8” in length. We recommended that you use the SV-NET-SERVO (one per servo) network cabling kit when installing servos; however, it is ultimately the responsibility of the installer to decide on connectors and associated wiring. Table 47 describes servo wire colors and functions.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration Power Consumption Section of the System Planning Chapter for details regarding servo current consumption at 12 and 24 volts DC. Circuit Breaker/Fuse We recommend that electrical power for the autopilot servos be protected with an appropriately sized circuit breaker or fuse that is accessible to the pilot while in flight. SkyView continuously communicates with the servos even when the autopilot is disengaged.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration Note that the kit contains 20 feet of wire of each color, which should be sufficient for most servo installations. Also note that the white/blue, white/green and blue, green wire combinations come pre-twisted. Remember to configure the network after connecting all modules to a display. A few customers have reported that after installing Dynon servos, noise is heard in the intercom system whenever the servos operate.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration (Optional) External LEVEL Button SkyView supports an external button that engages LEVEL mode in the same way that pressing MAIN MENU > AUTOPILOT > LEVEL and the LEVEL button on the (optional) SV-AP-PANEL. This allows the pilot to mount a permanent, dedicated button on the panel or yoke/stick. This button should be a single pole, normally open, momentary button.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration 1N914, available from Radio Shack (P/N 276-1122). With a diode installed for each display, the External LEVEL Button will work correctly with any combination of displays powered on and powered off. Use a multi-pole pushbutton (momentary, normally open / push to close) for the External LEVEL Button. With this option, run each display's connection to a different pole on the pushbutton.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration Servo Calibration Procedure Servo calibration cannot be performed without an SV-ADAHRS-200 installed and configured in the SkyView system. The servo calibration procedure identifies the orientation and range of motion of each servo and must be performed before the servo test procedure. SkyView uses this procedure to automatically differentiate between the pitch and the roll servos.
Autopilot Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration SIMPLIFIED: Two button streamlined autopilot controls: TRK+ALT for flying in the direction and at the altitude you choose, HSI+ALT for following navigation sources like GPS flight plans.

SV-ADSB-470 Installation, Configuration, and Testing Record the SkyView serial port that you have chosen on each display as you will need to configure it later for use with the SV-ADSB-470. The SV-ADSB-470 communicates with the SkyView system using serial ports, not SkyView Network. Thus, the SV-ADSB-470 will not be listed as a device in the list of SkyView Network devices (such as SV-ADAHRS-200/201, SV-EMS-220/221, etc.) This is normal.
SV-ADSB-470 Installation, Configuration, and Testing accomplish, but is more difficult in a composite or fabric skinned aircraft. In these cases a metallic ground plane should be fabricated and fitted under the antenna. As the ground plane is made smaller, the actual dimensions of the ground plane become more critical, and small multiples of the wavelength should be avoided, as should circles. Rectangles or squares are much less likely to create a critical dimension that resonates with the transmissions.
SV-ADSB-470 Installation, Configuration, and Testing A dual crimp style BNC connector can be completed using a wide range of commercial crimp tools (for example the Tyco 5-1814800-3). The die apertures for the inner pin and the outer shield should be approximately 1.72 mm and 5.41 mm respectively. Strip back the coax cable to the dimensions in the table, as shown in the diagram below. Slide 25 mm (1 inch) of heat shrink tubing over the cable.
SV-ADSB-470 Installation, Configuration, and Testing Confirm that the DEVICE line reads SV-ADSB-470. Use the STATUS line to determine whether the SV-ADSB-470 is successfully communicating with SkyView. It can also be used to determine whether the as well as if it is able to see any ADS-B ground stations. The status line can display any of the following states: o NOT FOUND: The device is not communicating with SkyView.

22.Appendix C: Wiring and Electrical Connections SkyView utilizes standardized network connectors and wire harnesses for equipment-to-equipment connections as well as other connections. Installers should rarely have to build custom wire harnesses. This appendix is included as a reference for those rare times when custom wiring is required. Improper wiring can result in permanent damage to your instrument and/or the accompanying sensors.
Appendix C: Wiring and Electrical Connections D-subminiature Crimp Contacts and Tools D-subminiature crimp contacts can be obtained from a variety of sources. Dynon recommends the use of the following Mil Spec types in avionics applications. Gender Female/Socket Male/Pin Mil Spec # M39029/63-368 M39029/64-369 Wire AWG 20, 22, 24 Table 72 – Recommended D-subminiature Crimp Pins Use a high quality 4-way indentation contact crimper when working the Mil Spec contacts in Table 72.

Appendix E: Serial Data Output NMEA OUT ( FULL) NMEA OUT (FULL) data consists of all of the NMEA OUT (BASIC) sentences followed by RMB, GLL, BWC, XTE, BOD, and APB sentences nominally output at a rate of 1 Hz. The rate is reduced if necessary to transmit the entire set of data at the selected baud rate. This format outputs navigation information derived by SkyView, and is similar to the output that many handheld portable aviation GPS navigators generate.
25. Appendix F: User Data Logs SkyView continuously stores four retrievable data logs that can be exported for user analysis. These data logs are stored on SkyView’s internal flash memory and are exported to a USB flash drive. The base file name is the same on all four logs. Each element is separated by a dash (-) character: DATE – Expressed as year (-) 2 digit month – (2 digit day).
Appendix F: User Data Logs The User Data Log records at the selected Record Rate (see below) any time the SkyView system is powered on. A sample of what a few columns and rows of data would look like when viewed in a spreadsheet program is shown below. An actual user data log would have over 100 columns of data, and many thousands of rows: Magnetic Indicated System Pitch Roll Heading Airspeed Time (deg) (deg) (deg) (knots) Pressure Altitude (ft) 1:50:38 0.2 -1.7 134.4 0 4364 1:50:38 0.2 -1.8 134.
Appendix F: User Data Logs example, oil pressure going into the red zone for a few seconds, then back into green, and automatically clearing. When exported, the data log is a standard CSV (comma separated value) file and can be viewed in spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel once exported from the system. The top row of the CSV file is a header row which documents the format of the file.
Appendix F: User Data Logs contains the data log for the left engine (only). It is recommended to use a separate USB flash drive per engine to prevent the possibility of overwriting data logs. Connect a USB flash drive with at least 100 MB of available storage capacity to your SkyView display. Then, navigate to SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SOFTWARE > EXPORT USER DATA LOGS to export the three data logs to the USB flash drive.
26. Appendix G: Kavlico Pressure Sensor Part Numbers Dynon Avionics Technical Advisory 120214 – Kavlico Pressure Sensors Prior to installing Kavlico sensors, reference Dynon Avionics Technical Advisory 120214 – Kavlico Pressure Sensors http://dynonavionics.com/docs/support_bulletins.html for important information. Kavlico pressure sensors sold by Dynon Avionics for fuel and oil pressure monitoring are externally physically identical and can be distinguished only by the Kavlico P/N stamped on the side.
