    5. Set the following parameters for the RS 232 port # used during electrical connection (may also be referred to as RS232 #, CHNL #, DATA #, etc.): • Input = Off • Output = Aviation (also referred to as Aviation #, Aviation Output #, etc.) 6.
  • Page 11 After identifying the device, INPUT SPEED parameter (HIGH or LOW) needs to be set according to output speed of the ARINC device(s). The SV-ARINC-429 has one ARINC output channel with 2 sets of pins on the connector for wiring convenience. If the ARINC device(s) can accept commands, configure OUTPUT SPEED appropriately.
  • Page 12 • ALLOW AUTO SWITCH: NO. 2.3.2 Optional SkyView Configuration Settings If a Dynon SV-XPNDR-261 is being used for ADS-B Out capability, an additional serial output on the GPS Navigator should be set to "ADS-B+ OUT" format. That serial port should be connected to Pin 3 on the SV-XPNDR-261’s harness via a 1.21k resistor, as described in the...

  • Page 17 SkyView supports serial external altitude encoders that use the Icarus/Garmin format. 3.2.3.1 Using Non-Dynon Altitude Data The SV-XPNDR-261/262 transponder can use data from an external altitude encoder instead of the internal SkyView ADAHRS-generated pressure altitude. However, the altitude displayed by SkyView on the PFD page is always sourced from SkyView ADAHRS data.

  • Page 28: Vertical Power Vp-X

    3.6 Vertical Power VP-X SkyView can interface with the Vertical Power VP-X system to provide robust monitoring and control of the aircraft's electrical system via SkyView. To use this feature, a VP-X License (SV-VPX-290) must be purchased. For full VP-X functionality, an EMS module is required because VP-X information is displayed in the EMS window.
  • Page 29 The SV-HARNESS-D37 harness for each SkyView display unit contains a twisted pair of red power wires and a twisted pair of black ground wires. The pair of wires are a single power input and a single ground connection and must be connected to a single VP-X input when using the VP-X to provide power to SkyView display units.
  • Page 30 3.6.3 License Information VP-X features are enabled on your SkyView system by purchasing and installing an VP-X License (SV-VPX-290). Only one VP-X License is needed in a SkyView system, no matter how many display units are attached. That license is applied to only one display, but that display stores the license information for the entire system.
  • Page 31 3.6.4 Purchasing and Installing a VP-X License (SV-VPX-290) Display and control of VP-X is not supported in SkyView SE. If intending to install and use SkyView SE, do not purchase and install a VP-X or an VPX License. An VPX License can be purchased and applied to your system in one of two ways: Call Dynon directly at 425-402-0433 (have a SkyView display unit model and serial number ready).
  • Page 32 VP-X Settings Most VP-X setup – such as setting circuit breaker limits – is NOT done via SkyView, but instead via a Windows-based application called VP-X Configurator. See your VP-X documentation for full VP-X installation and setup information. Although VP-X trim and flaps calibrations are not used by SkyView, leaving any of the VP-X trim or flaps end points or neutral positions to “0”...
  • Page 33 3.6.6 Post Installation Checks Complete the following before using the VP-X system: • Follow all installation, configuration, and test procedures as instructed by the VP-X documentation. • Ensure that your VP-X system is powered on and functioning normally. • On a SkyView display unit that is displaying the Engine Page (enabled by toggling MENU >...
