SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision S
SkyView Network Connection
Connect the EMS module to the SkyView network using the hardware mentioned in the
SkyView System Construction Section or using equivalent hardware.
If you have to install a connector on the end of a network cable, insert all pins into the D9
connector. Reference Appendix C: Wiring and Electrical Connections for details on connector
pin-outs and wire colors.
Remember to configure the network after connecting all modules to a display.
SkyView EMS Sensor Definition and Configuration Files
The SkyView EMS utilizes a file to define sensor behavior and a file to map those sensors to pins
on the SV-EMS-220/221 and configure the sensors’ onscreen visual representations or widgets.
The sensor definition file is preloaded onto all SkyView displays during manufacture and may
need to be updated. The sensor mapping and configuration file is not preloaded onto displays
and must be downloaded and installed by the user. Reference the EMS Sensor Definitions,
Mapping, and Settings Section for more information.
Engine Sensor and Transducer Planning
In order to save installers time, Dynon provides preconfigured sensor mapping and
settings files as well as premade engine sensor connection wire harnesses. These
resources support many popular four and six-cylinder engine installations.
Reference the Example Engine Sensor and Transducer Installations Section for
examples.
Sensor mapping and settings files map SV-EMS-220/221 pins to engine
transducers and sensors and also configure onscreen engine gauges with
appropriate graphical settings. Reference Dynon’s website at
for more information.
The SV-EMS-220/221 is compatible with a wide range of sensors and transducers. Reference
Table 67 on page 21-3 for a list of engine sensors and transducers that are known to be
compatible with SkyView. Use the tools in this section as well as the worksheet on page 23-1
when planning sensor and transducer installation.
SV-EMS-220/221 Wire Harnesses
Engine and environmental sensors and transducers are connected to the SV-EMS-220/221 via
two connectors on the module: one male 37-pin D-sub connector (D37) and one female 25-pin
D-sub connector (D25). Dynon offers premade wire harnesses which break out the pins on
these connectors and it is highly recommended that installers use these wire harnesses. Table
13 lists these wire harnesses and their respective connections to the SV-EMS-220/221.
