SV-ADSB-470 Installation, Configuration, and Testing

SkyView System Installation Guide – Revision S

14-9

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. This usually implies a

connectivity/wiring problem between the SV-ADSB-470 and SkyView, or that the SV-
ADSB-470 is not receiving power.

o NO SIGNAL: The device is communicating with SkyView, but data is not being

received from an ADS-B ground station. This may occur when you are on the ground
and do not have line-of-sight reception of an ADS-B ground station, or if you are in
the air and are out of range of all ADS-B ground stations. If there is an ADS-B ground
station in range, and NO SIGNAL is persistently displayed, it may imply a connectivity
problem with your ADS-B antenna or an installation issue that is preventing the ADS-
B antenna from receiving ADS-B ground station broadcasts. Note that when in flight,
the Map Page displays a status widget in its lower left corner that contains the same
information as this menu status item. That widget will be more useful for
ascertaining proper operation once you are in the air and are most likely to be
receiving data from ADS-B ground stations.

o RECEIVING: The device is communicating with SkyView AND data is being received

from an ADS-B ground station.

You may also observe the red LED indicator on the SV-ADSB-470 module to confirm proper
hardware operation:

o Flashing Fast: The SV-ADSB-470 is operating normally, is configured and

communicating with SkyView over a correctly-configured serial port, and is receiving
GPS data from SkyView.

o Flashing Slowly: The SV-ADSB-470 is receiving power and operating normally, but is

not fully communicating with SkyView.

o Off: The SV-ADSB-470 is not receiving power.
o On: The SV-ADSB-470 is receiving power, but is not operating normally. Cycle power

on the SV-ADSB-470 to try to clear this condition. If the indicator remains On (solid,
no blinking), after cycling power, contact Dynon Technical Support (contact
information at the beginning of this manual).
