SV-EMS-220 Installation and Configuration
SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision K 7-49
SELF-CLEAR–When an alert is triggered, it is annunciated both on the engine page and in
the messaging system. When the alert condition ceases, all of these annunciations
cease, even if the precise alert message was not acknowledged by pressing the
rightmost button on the display to bring up the message window.
LATCHING– When an alert is triggered, it is annunciated both on the engine page and in
the messaging system. However, when the alert condition ceases, the message
notification area above the rightmost button will continue to show the unacknowledged
alert state until the alert message is viewed in the message window, even though the
offending parameter has returned to within limits. This behavior ensures that the pilot is
aware that an alert was triggered, even though the condition no longer exists.
Reference the SkyView Pilot’s User Guide for information regarding how sensor alarms show up
onscreen during operation.
EMS Sensor Graphical Display Limits
The settings here define the minimum and maximum values that will be shown graphically on
the sensor’s gauge. Effectively, this is the start and stop point of the gauge. If the indicator you
choose for this value shows digital numbers for the value, they will not be limited by this
setting. The system will not allow you to set these numbers higher or lower than the sensor can
support.
EMS Sensor Ranges
The order that ranges are configured has no effect on the functionality or display of the gauge.
Ranges are defined with the following properties: enable, color, top, and bottom. Enable is
used to tell SkyView if that range is on or off. If it is off, it will not be considered or displayed.
There are five configurable ranges for each gauge and four colors for any given range (black,
green, yellow, or red.). If a range is not defined, it is considered black, so there is not generally a
reason to configure black ranges. If ranges overlap, red trumps yellow, yellow trumps green,
and green trumps black. For example, you could set up two ranges for the same gauge, each 0-
10, one red, and one green, and that range would be red. To further illustrate this behavior, if
another range for that same gauge was configured from 5-15 and set to yellow, only 10-15
would be yellow.
The two edge ranges are considered to go on "forever," so if a gauge is set up as yellow from 10
to 20 and red from 20 to 30, and the sensor reads 35, it will still be considered red since that is
above the highest range. It will be considered yellow below 10. If you wish for this not to occur,
you must make your edge ranges black.
Alarms are only triggered when the value enters the red range on a gauge.
