Dynon Avionics SkyView Classic - EMS Sensor Input Mapping

SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 7-75
The SkyView Sensor Definitions file has a .sfg file extension. This file is not
automatically shared between displays. It must be loaded onto each display in the
system.
EMS Sensor Input Mapping
In order to save installers time, Dynon Avionics provides preconfigured sensor
mapping and settings files which support popular four and six-cylinder engine
installations. All of the installations mentioned in the Example Engine Sensor and
Transducer Installations Section have preconfigured mapping and settings files
that are available for download at http://downloads.dynonavionics.com.
Settings for SV-EMS-220/221 pin mapping, ranges, widget graphical properties,
etc. are automatically shared between multiple SkyView displays.
If your engine installation is listed in the Example Engine Sensor and Transducer Installations
Section, we recommend you install one of the sensor mapping and settings files onto the
SkyView display using the instruction found the How to Load and Delete Files Section. Then
update or modify the sensor map and settings based on your installation.
Note that it is critical that you should check every setting before operating your engine with
them as these files are only a starting point. While efforts were made to set up temperature,
pressure, and other ranges to reasonable starting points, Dynon Avionics makes no claim that
they are correct for your engine, as slightly different engines may have different limits.
Use this section as a guide when you review and update the sensor map and settings that were
sourced from the preconfigured file. Also use this section if you are creating a sensor map and
settings from scratch.
EMS Sensor Mapping Explanation
The SkyView system must be configured to map SV-EMS-220/221 pin numbers to physical
sensors. This section contains an explanation of what it means to define a sensor for mapping
purposes and also contains instructions on how to map sensors mentioned in this section to
pins on the SV-EMS-220/221. Mapping can be accomplished using two methods: you can use a
premade file as mentioned above or you can manually map engine sensors to EMS module pins.
All sensors and transducers are mapped in the Sensor Input Mapping Wizard. As mentioned
earlier, some pins are compatible with a variety of sensors, while other pins have fixed
functionality. A sensor is defined in the Sensor Input Mapping Wizard by the following
parameters:
 Pin #–the pin or set of pins the sensor is connected to
 Function–the phenomenon the sensor measures (e.g., pressure and temperature)
 Sensor–the physical part used, for example 0-80 PSI Fluid Pressure (100411-001)
 Name–a six-character field that names the sensor for use by the pilot in flight.
