SV-XPNDR-261/262 Installation and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 11-3
SV-XPNDR-261 Specifications, and SV-XPNDR-262 Specifications for more information.
The SV-XPNDR-261/262 is controlled using SkyView’s on-screen menu system. This allows the
SV-XPNDR-261/262 to be mounted separately from the instrument panel and thus requires no
panel space. SkyView also provides pressure altitude directly to the SV-XPNDR-261/262,
eliminating the need for a separate altitude encoder.
The SV-XPNDR-261/262 are “Software-based” – they have internal “Software” (software) that is
occasionally updated. Any Software updates for the SV-XPNDR-261/262 are included within
SkyView system Software. See SV-XPNDR-261/262 Software Updates later in this section for
details on SV-XPNDR-261/262 Software updates.
The SV-XPNDR-261/262 operates at either 14 volt nominal or 28 volt nominal DC power supply;
no configuration changes are required.

testing procedures:

Physical Installation
The SV-XPNDR-261/262 is designed to be mounted in any convenient location in the cockpit,
the cabin, or an avionics bay.
The following installation procedure should be followed, remembering to allow adequate space
for installation of cables and connectors:
The SV-XPNDR-261/262 should be located in an area that is accessible, should the SV-
XPNDR-261/262 require service.
Select a position in the aircraft that is not too close to any high external heat source. (The
SV-XPNDR-261/262 is not a significant heat source itself and does not need to be kept away
from other devices for this reason).
It is acceptable to locate the SV-XPNDR-261/262 remotely from the panel, such as in the aft
fuselage, to minimize the length of coaxial cable between the SV-XPNDR-261/262 and the
transponder antenna.
