SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA 13-1
13. Vertical Power VP-X Integration and Configuration
Display of, and control of, VP-X is not supported in SkyView SE or SkyView HDX (as
of Software v15.0). If you intend to install and use SkyView SE or SkyView HDX, do
not purchase and install a VP-X or an SV-VPX-290 software license.
SkyView Classic supports the connection of only one VP-X unit. Connection of more
than one VP-X unit is not supported.
SkyView Classic can interface with the Vertical Power VP-X System to provide robust monitoring
and control of your electrical system via your SkyView Classic system. In order to use this
feature, you must purchase and install a SV-VPX-290 VP-X License.
For full VP-X functionality, VP-X requires information from the EMS. VP-X
information is displayed in the EMS window. Thus, if an SV-EMS-220 or SV-EMS-
221 is not installed in your SkyView Classic system, VP-X information cannot be
displayed.
VP-X Physical, Electrical Installation and Configuration
In planning your SkyView Classic system with VP-X, note that to monitor the status
of, and reset, a VP-X circuit, at least one SkyView Classic display must be powered
up for VP-X status to be displayed. Thus, it can be problematic to troubleshoot a
VP-X issue if power to all SkyView Classic displays is controlled by the VP-X.
To ensure that you can monitor the status of the VP-X, and reset VP-X circuits, it is
recommended to power at least one SkyView Classic display from a power source
other than the VP-X unit.
Alternatively, you can equip at least one (preferably all) SkyView Classic display(s)
with an SV-BAT-320 backup battery. With an SV-BAT-320, a SkyView Classic display
can be powered up on backup battery power by pushing and holding Button 1. As
soon as ship’s power is received by the SkyView Classic display, SkyView Classic
will switch to ship’s power.
Refer to VP-X manufacturer’s installation documentation for instructions on the physical and
electrical installation of the VP-X unit, connection of electrical circuits to the VP-X, and
configuration of the VP-X. Documentation for the VP-X unit can be found at
http://verticalpower.com/documents/.
SkyView modules such as the SV-ADAHRS-200/201, SV-EMS-220/221, and SV-
ARINC-429 receive power via the SkyView Network. Their power supplies are
managed entirely by the SV-D700, SV-D1000, or SV-D1000T displays, and cannot
be separately monitored by the VP-X system. However, SkyView components that
