SV-EMS-220/221 Installation and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 7-79
the pulses/gallon is adequately set, the fuel seen returning through the second fuel flow sensor
is automatically subtracted from the flow that is seen through the primary sensor. If you do not
have a second fuel flow sensor, you may ignore this setting entirely.
In SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > EMS CALIBRATION > FUEL FLOW
CALIBRATION, if you change PULS/GAL (C37 P14) or PULS/GAL (C37 P19), for the
new value to be active, you must push the ACCEPT button, then the EXIT button.
Until you EXIT the menu, the changed value is not used by SkyView (despite the
value being changed in the menu).
Fuel Computer Presets
Fuel Computer computations are based on measured fuel flow and the pilot’s input of the
aircraft’s starting fuel state. SkyView offers a few settings that allow the pilot to pre-program
full fuel and an optional second “preset” fuel quantity. Once programmed, typical aircraft fuel
loads are then quickly recalled under in the EMS > FUEL menu as described in the Pilots User
Guide.
There are three fuel computer options, found under SYSTEM SETUP > SYSTEM SETUP >
AIRCRAFT INFORMATION. They are only applicable if you have a fuel flow sensor installed:
TOTAL FUEL CAPACITY – set this to the total usable fuel on board when the tanks are full.
Once this is set, the pilot is prevented from accidentally setting more than this amount of
fuel on board.
PRESET FUEL CAPACITY – this can be used to quickly recall a second, non-full starting fuel
state. For example, if your tanks have tabs so that you can easily fill to ¾ of your normal full
fuel load, you would enter this number here so that you can quickly set your fuel computer
to this second preset when you fill to the tabs.
FUEL ADDED DETECT – When set to yes, SkyView will check for discrepancies between the
physical fuel quantity sensors and the fuel computer’s calculated fuel load on boot-up. If
one is found, SkyView will prompt the user to adjust the fuel computer’s fuel state.
FUEL TANK REMINDER – SkyView can be configured to alert the pilot to switch their fuel
tanks at a set time or fuel usage interval (based on the fuel computer’s fuel calculations).
When enabled, it will periodically annunciate a “Switch Fuel Tank” alert message and audio
alert. There is no visible counter for this timer. To configure this feature, set FUEL TANK
REMINDER to either TIME or QUANTITY. Then, set the resulting FUEL REMINDER TIME or
FUEL REMINDER AMOUNT setting to the desired reminder interval.
Manual EMS Sensor Settings Configuration
Go to the Sensor Setup Menu (SETUP MENU > EMS SETUP > SENSOR SETUP) to manually
configure the settings of an EMS sensor. Once there, a list of every mapped sensor is displayed.
Follow this basic procedure to configure sensor settings:
1. Choose a sensor. Scroll through the menu to a sensor and move the joystick right to
enter to the sensor configuration menu.
