Vertical Power VP-X Integration and Configuration
13-2 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision AA
have power supplied by aircraft power, such as the AP servos, SV-ADSB-470, SV-
COM-C25/X83, SV-XPNDR-261/262, and Heated AOA/Pitot Probe can have their
power monitored by the VP-X by routing the power connections for those
components via the VP-X.
The SV-HARNESS-D37 harness for each SkyView Classic display contains a twisted
pair of Red (power) wires and a twisted pair of Black (ground) wires. The pair of
wires are a single power input, and a single ground connection, and must be
connected to a single VP-X input when using the VP-X to provide power to
SkyView Classic displays. The dual wiring scheme is needed to provide adequate
power to the SkyView Classic displays given the electrical constraints of the
particular wires and DSUB connectors / pins used. These wires should not be sent
to separate power channels or be considered redundant power sources.
Serial Port Connection
All communication between the VP-X system and the SkyView Classic system is accomplished
via a single bidirectional RS-232 serial connection.
Table 81 shows the connections for each of a SkyView Classic display’s nominally available serial
ports (serial port 5 is usually used for connection to the SV-GPS-250/2020 module). Only ONE of
the following serial ports will be used.
SkyView Classic Display D37
Table 81 – SkyView Classic / VP-X Serial Port Connections
Record the SkyView Classic display serial port which you connected the VP-X –you will need
that information to configure SkyView Classic to communicate with the VP-X.
Note that if you have more than one SkyView Classic display, the same connections must be
made to both / all SkyView Classic displays.
