Devices powered from SkyView Displays
These devices are directly connected to an individual SkyView display and are powered by the display. Add the
current consumption of these devices to the current consumption of the SkyView display they are connected to.
This will allow you to calculate the total current that each SkyView display requires.
SV-BAT-320 (while charging)
Video Adapter for SkyView (USB)
SkyView Wi-Fi Adapter (USB)
Devices powered via SkyView Network
These devices are connected to SkyView Network, which is powered by the SkyView display(s). If you have two
or three displays, the current requirements of these devices are shared equally between the displays. If you
have one display, add 100% of a SkyView Network device’s current to the display’s current requirement. If you
have two displays, add 50% of SkyView Network device’s current to each display’s current requirement. If you
have three displays, add 33% of SkyView Network device’s current to each display’s current requirement.
SV-AP-PANEL (not including trim motor loads)
SV-EMS-220 (maximum number of sensors)

Example, a SV-D1000T @ 12V with:
1 – SV-BAT-320 (1.00A)
1 - SV-GPS-2020 (0.10A)
1 - SV-ADAHRS-200 (0.15A)
1 - SV-EMS-220 (0.11A)
will require 3.76A when charging the battery, 2.76A when the battery is fully charged.
