SV-EMS-220 Engine Monitoring System Installation and Configuration

increment one (1) hour. If you spend one (1) hour at 1/2 your cruise RPM, tach time will
only increase by 1/2 hour. Tach time is defined as TIME x (CURRENT RPM / CRUISE
RPM).
Hobbs time is a simple timer that runs whenever the oil pressure is above 15 PSI or the
engine is above 0 RPM.
INHIBIT ENGINE ALERTS AT BOOT: NO | YES
When set to YES, all engine alerts, both audio and visual, will occurs until after the first
engine start, or 5 minutes, whichever comes first. This option can help inhibit nuisance
alarms before the engine is started. When set to NO, engine alerts are always active.
ALARM LIGHT: SOLID AFTER ACK | OFF AFTER ACK
If you have connected an External Alarm Light to SV-EMS-220 pin 29, the Alarm Light
setting determines how the light behaves after alarm acknowledgement. It can be set to
either SOLID AFTER ACK, which leaves the light lit continuously after acknowledgement
(until the alarm condition ceases) or OFF AFTER ACK, which turns the light off after an
alarm has been acknowledged.
10.7 EMS Sensor Definitions, Mapping, and Settings
All sensors must be defined, mapped to SV-EMS-220 pins, and have their
settings configured. This section describes how sensors are defined,
mapped, and set in SkyView.
10.7.1 EMS Sensor Definitions
All EMS sensor installations require a SkyView Sensor Definitions file. This file provides
characterizations of all sensors that SkyView supports, and is occasionally updated to
add additional supported sensors and correct issues with existing sensors. The most
current version of the SkyView Sensor Definitions file is preloaded onto each display prior
to shipment. The most current version of the SkyView Sensor Definitions file can be
downloaded from www.dynoncertified.com/software-updates.php. If you have more than
one (1) SkyView display, and the SkyView Sensor Definitions file on each display is
different from one (1) another, a Warning message will be displayed: EMS SFG FILE
MISMATCH.
If you need to update the SkyView Sensor Definitions file, download the file and use the
instructions found in the How to Load and Delete Files Section.
The SkyView Sensor Definitions file has a .sfg file extension. This file is not
automatically shared between displays. It must be loaded onto each display
in the system.
