SkyView System Installation Guide – Revision S

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.
7. Setting the Tail Number is required for before you can configure your SkyView Network
(described below): SETUP > AIRCRAFT INFORMATION > TAIL NUMBER. If Tail Number has
not yet been issued for your plane, set TAIL NUMBER to something other than DYNON.
8. Many SkyView displays and modules communicate over a common set of wires – the
SkyView Network that terminates at the D9 connectors on the back of your SkyView
display(s). Getting all modules and displays “talking” on SkyView Network is done by going
to SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > NETWORK SETUP > CONFIGURE > (click right one more
time). If a module is noted as “requires update”, press the UPDATE button. Otherwise, press
the FINISH button. Note that you will not see any flight instruments or engine instruments
before a network configuration is performed, even if the SV-ADAHRS-200/201 and SV-EMS-
220/221 have been wired properly and are connected.
9. Devices that do not utilize SkyView Network are connected via serial port connections.
Dynon devices that use serial ports include the SV-ADSB-470, SV-GPS-250, SV-XPNDR-
261/262, and various third-party devices. As serial devices are not part of the SkyView
Network, they will not be seen on the list of devices seen as you configure SkyView Network
above. Instead, configuring SkyView to communicate with SV-GPS-250 and SV-XPNDR-
261/262 is done via a more manual process in SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SERIAL PORT
SETUP.
10. If you have installed an SV-GPS-250, its SERIAL IN FUNCTION must be set to POS 1.
11. After you’ve configured SkyView Network, have properly configured any serial devices, exit
the Setup Menu. Your SkyView display should now display EMS, PFD, and MAP. Map will not
display without a GPS fix (the airplane symbol on the Map page will also flash with “?” if it
does not have a GPS fix.
12. Your SkyView may require various updates such as system software, databases, and Sensor
Definitions. Se
for
more details on the updates available for SkyView. If you are a non-US customer, the display
of aviation and obstacle data on your SkyView system requires a database purchase from
Jeppesen or PocketFMS. Note that firmware on each SkyView display must be updated
individually.
13. Common issues for setting up SkyView engine monitoring:
a. The configuration of sensors installed on SkyView at the factory is generic; therefore
“Red X’s” on the EMS for various sensors are normal until sensor configuration for
your particular engine sensor configuration is complete.
b. The layout of which sensor “widgets” are shown on the screen, sizes, styles, etc. is
completely configurable: SETUP > EMS SETUP > SCREEN LAYOUT EDITOR
14. Common issues for setting up SV-XPNDR-261/262:
a. Ensure that there is a valid tail number set (see above)
