SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration
7-70 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA
Rotax 914 Air Box Temperature
Rotax supplies one Skykit Air Box temperature sensor on the 914 for connection to the 914
Turbo Control Unit (TCU). If you wish to monitor Air Box temperature on SkyView, install a
second Skykit Air Box temperature sensor and connect it to any of Pins 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
20, 21, 22, 23, or 31 on the SV-EMS-220/221. Connect one of the wires to the input pin, and the
other wire to any available EMS Ground, any of Pins 3, 5, 13, 16, 17, or 30. Configure the
general purpose input pin you select as SKYKITS AIRBOX TEMP.
Contacts
Contacts may be connected to any general purpose input pin on the SV-EMS-220/221’s D37. The
number of contacts in your SkyView system is only limited to the number of unused general
purpose input pins on the connector.
Dynon Avionics does not sell contacts or switches.
Contacts are used for a variety of purposes, such as monitoring canopy closure. The EMS
Software reads the voltage state of general purpose inputs. To configure them as contacts, use
two voltage ranges in your sensor setup. Set one to 0-2V, and the other from 2-5V. SkyView will
then report whether each input is open (no connection to ground, which is the 2-5V state) or
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. Generally, the voltage on the
general purpose inputs should not exceed 15 volts, but the inputs are protected against spikes
up to 30V. Generally, it is safe to connect a general purpose input up to any 12V electrical signal
(such as monitoring whether power is connected to a 12V fuel pump), but the same is not true
for a 24V aircraft – connecting 24V (continuous) to a general purpose input will damage the
input.
Contacts Used for Retractable / Amphibious Landing Gear and Related Alerts
The simplest method to monitor landing gear state is to use a contact as there are only two
states to monitor and it is mechanically and electrically easiest to install. To enable audio alerts
related to landing gear status, the contact used for monitoring the status of landing gear must
be named GEAR:
SETUP MENU > EMS SETUP > SENSOR INPUT MAPPING > C37 Pxx >
> FUNCTION: CONTACT
> SENSOR: CONTACT
> NAME: GEAR
