If you are converting to a SkyView or SkyView SE system from an earlier Dynon Avionics D10/D100 series system, we have written the D10/D100 Series to SkyView Conversion Guide, which details the changes required to convert between the two product families.
About this Guide This guide – the SkyView Classic / SkyView SE / SkyView HDX System Installation Guide (hereafter, “this guide”) contains information for the installation and initial / basic configuration of the SkyView Classic, SkyView SE, and SkyView HDX Systems. Separate guides – the SkyView Pilot’s User Guide, SkyView SE Pilot’s User Guide, and SkyView HDX Pilot’s User Guide explain...
(most of the time) as an encompassing term for “Firmware”, “OS”, and “app” functions. SkyView Classic, SkyView Touch, SkyView SE, and SkyView HDX SkyView SE is a streamlined, simplified edition of SkyView. Although the two editions are within the same family of products, the two editions cannot interoperate. For example, you cannot install a SkyView SE display (SV-D600 or SV-D900) into an existing SkyView (non-SE) system and vice versa.
(not Dynon Avionics). Some manufacturers choose to “lock” certain SkyView settings, including not being able to update a SkyView system using “generic” SkyView Software. Such restrictions are at the discretion of the aircraft manufacturer, and Dynon Avionics cannot “override” such restrictions.

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 Avionics 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.

SkyView SE displays cannot interoperate in a SkyView system that includes SkyView Classic or SkyView HDX displays. For example, if you plan to use a SkyView SE display, your SkyView system should only use SkyView SV-D600 or SkyView SV-900 displays.
SV-ADSB-470/472 Installation and Configuration for details. Dynon Avionics AP servos (wired with the SV-NET-SERVO kit) use a D9F and D9M connectors (at the servo) that is not compatible with SkyView Network; see the section AP Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration for details.
A SkyView Classic system can include as many as three SkyView Classic and SkyView Touch displays in any combination of SV-D700s, SV-D1000s, and SV-D1000Ts. A SkyView SE system can include as many as three SkyView SE displays in any combination of SV-D600s and SV-D900s.
System Planning A SkyView HDX system can include as many as three SkyView displays in any combination of SV- HDX800s and SV-HDX1100s. Power Specifications Table 3 contains SkyView displays and devices that are powered by SkyView displays. 5A circuit protection is recommended for SkyView displays in common configurations; 5A is the smallest circuit breaker that is commonly available in certified versions.
Page 27
It is important that circuit protection devices be appropriately sized to protect the wiring connected to them. 5A circuit protection is recommend in most cases because that is the smallest circuit breaker that is commonly available in certified versions, and Dynon Avionics wiring harnesses specify wire of at least 22 AWG.

SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration The GRT CS-01 and CS-02 do not connect to Pin 24/25 (Amps Shunt +/- Input). If you are converting from a Dynon Avionics EMS-D10, EMS-D120, or FlightDEK- D180, you must change your wiring per the instructions below.
Example Engine Sensor and Transducer Installations Section contain recommended input pins for position potentiometers. Dynon Avionics does not sell trim or flaps position sensors. These are normally included with, or added onto, their respective servos. Most flap and trim sensors are potentiometers (variable resistors) which require power and ground inputs, and supply an output that is a function of position.

SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration signal ground. Connect the output of the sensor to the desired general-purpose input. For physical installation, refer to the instructions that came with your position sensor. If you are using the output from a Ray Allen servo or sensor, connect per the chart below. Note that you may need access to the SV-EMS-220/221’s +5 Volts Auxiliary (Pin 18) for other sensors, so make allowances for breaking out the connection to other areas.
As of 2020, Dynon no longer supplies the original 15, 50, 75, or 150 PSI Kavlico sensors (P/Ns 101690-000, 101716-000, 101692-000, 101693-000). For new installations, select the appropriate sensor for the airplane's coolant or other fluid system: •...

SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration closed (connection to ground, which is the 0-2V state). You must ensure that when closed, the contact connects to a ground common to the SV-EMS-220. The voltage on the general-purpose inputs should not exceed 5 volts, but the inputs are protected against spikes up to 30V. If a general-purpose input is used to monitor a voltage above 5V, such as monitoring whether power is connected to a 12V fuel pump, a 10 Kilo-ohm resistor in series with the positive voltage sense wire must be installed.
Route either of the two wires to an electrical ground on the SV-EMS-22X D37 connector. Route the other wire to the general purpose input of your choice. Note: If you are converting a Dynon Avionics D10/D100 product installation to a SkyView installation, you should remove any resistor that is connected to the existing carburetor temperature sensor.
SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration Dynon Avionics sells both J and K type thermocouple wire which may be used to connect the desired thermocouple to the SkyView. Ensure you order the correct wire type for the thermocouple you intend to use. Crimp a Female DSUB pin on the end of each wire, and plug them into the SV-EMS-220’s EMS 37-pin Main Sensor Harness D37.

9. SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery Installation Figure 122 – SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery This section contains information that specifically applies to the installation of the SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery. After reading this section, you should be able to determine how to prepare the installation location, mount the module, connect it to a display, monitor its voltage, and ensure it is charged.
Connect the SV-BAT-320 module’s connector to the mating connector on the SV-HARNESS-D37. If you are constructing your own SkyView display harness (equivalent to the Dynon Avionics SV- HARNESS-D37), do not cut off the connector on the SV-BAT-320 to install a different connector.
Charging the SV-BAT-320 on Ground or During Aircraft Construction As with all new lithium-ion batteries, the SV-BAT-320 is manufactured, stored in inventory (Dynon Avionics, dealers, and aircraft manufacturers), and shipped in a partially-charged state. Occasionally, typically after a year or more with no charging, the SV-BAT-320 may appear to be fully discharged –...
SV-BAT-320 Backup Battery Installation • Under full load (5A), the aircraft battery charger must be capable of supplying 13 volts (13V) to the SkyView display. Supplying 13V to the aircraft electrical system allows for voltage drops in the electrical system, ensuring that the SkyView display receives at least 12.25V that is required to charge an SV-BAT-320.
Follow the steps in Initial SV-BAT-320 Test below. • TEST RESULT: o FAIL: VOLTAGE DROP TOO HIGH: Battery likely needs to be replaced. Contact Dynon Avionics Technical Support (contact information at the beginning of this manual). o FAIL: LASTED xx MINS: Battery likely needs to be replaced.

AP 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.
Page 284
SkyView Network Connection Connect the servos to the SkyView network according to Figure 138 and Table 78. Dynon Avionics offers the SV-NET-SERVO cabling kit (each kit provides wire and connections for one servo). The kit contains connectors, pins, and 20 feet of wire of each color, which should be sufficient for most servo installations.
Page 285
AP Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration A few SkyView pilots have reported that after installing Dynon Avionics servos, noise is heard in the intercom system whenever the servos operate. Such noise can be eliminated by connecting an electrolytic capacitor between the Red wire (+ terminal of the capacitor) and Black wire (- terminal of the capacitor) at the servo.
Page 286
This allows the pilot to mount a permanent, dedicated button on the panel or yoke/stick. Dynon Avionics offers the SV-BUTTON-LEVEL for panel installation. The SV-BUTTON-LEVEL has the same appearance as the LEVEL button of the SV-AP-PANEL and is backlit (controlled by SkyView).

AP Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration Setting the SkyView AP to EXPERT mode requires that two SkyView AP servos (Roll and Pitch) are installed. If only one servo (either Roll only, or Pitch only) is installed, the SkyView AP can only be set to SIMPLIFIED mode. For more details on the differences between these two sets of controls, see the SkyView Pilot’s User Guide.

AP Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration To set the Flight Director style: 1. Go to the Autopilot Flight Director Adjust Page (SETUP MENU > AUTOPILOT SETUP > FLIGHT DIRECTOR). 2. Choose SINGLE CUE or DUAL CUE. 3. Press ACCEPT to save the value or press CANCEL to return to the Autopilot Setup Menu. Roll Axis Configuration Roll Axis Torque The roll axis torque parameter specifies how much torque the servo will exert before slipping.
Page 292
AP Servo Installation, Configuration, and Calibration Torque must be set high enough to prevent any slip due to air loads, but low enough that the pilot can override the autopilot should the need arise. If the servo slips continuously, the autopilot cannot fly the aircraft.
Page 293
If the AP is engaged and the Maximum Airspeed limit is changed to a value that is lower than the current airspeed, the AP will immediately act to reduce the airspeed to the new maximum airspeed setting, and may do so aggressively. Dynon Avionics recommends that this setting only be adjusted with the AP disengaged.
Page 294
If the AP is engaged and the Minimum Airspeed limit is changed to a value that is higher than the current airspeed, the AP will immediately act to increase the airspeed to the new minimum airspeed setting. Dynon Avionics recommends that this setting only be adjusted with the AP disengaged.
Page 295

(see caution below). Dynon Avionics’ general rule of thumb is that 1 to 2 feet between the module and sources of magnetic fields is generally good enough, but 2 or more feet is better.
Page 445
SV-MAG-236 Installation and Configuration If you use a magnet to test whether possible interfering materials are non- magnetic, do not actually touch the magnet to the material you are testing, as this contact can cause the material you are testing to become magnetized. Move a handheld compass throughout the space surrounding your intended location to get a rough idea of the suitability of the area.

• SENSOR ID – The type of sensor selected in SENSOR INPUT MAPPING for this sensor / input / pin. • RAW – Raw number from the Analog to Digital converter; Dynon Avionics internal use only. • CAL(V) – The exact voltage that is present on this pin. The output of many sensors are converted to a voltage in the SV-EMS-220/221 for processing.
Page 543
Appendix H: Sensor Debug Data Similarly, as Pin 14, in Figure 250 above, the displayed RAW value is shown as “5AD” (not 00000000). This value is displayed as a hexadecimal number (Base 16), and increments by 1 for each pulse. Succeeding pulses would change this value to 5AE, then 5AF, then 5B0, etc. If the engine is on (fuel is flowing from the engine back to the tank), the RAW value should be incrementing.
