SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision K 2-1
2. System Planning
Installers should read and understand this chapter before proceeding with
physical installation. SkyView equipment installed contrary to the requirements
outlined in this chapter may not operate within specifications.
The purpose of this chapter is to familiarize you with important SkyView system information
and concepts including the following:
 Operating specifications
 Installation location requirements
 SkyView systems
SkyView modules have environmental and location requirements that must be adhered to for
specified operation. This chapter helps installers make informed decisions regarding suitable
SkyView equipment locations in aircraft. It contains electrical, mechanical and environmental
specifications, installation requirements, and other important guidelines and suggestions.
When SkyView components are used together, they are referred to as a SkyView system. This
chapter also explains what a SkyView system is and how to build one.
Power Consumption
Table 2 contains power specifications for typical SkyView systems. The table below accounts for
the power that a SkyView display consumes while powering itself and its attached modules. It
does not account for SkyView autopilot servo power because they are powered directly from
aircraft master power.
