SkyView HDX Display Installation and Configuration
SkyView HDX System Installation Manual - Revision E 4-13
If you see a screen similar to the one above, simply press the button labeled UPDATE to
update the software running on the equipment in the SkyView network.
To check on SkyView network status, enter the NETWORK STATUS… Menu in the
Network Setup Menu (SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SKYVIEW NETWORK
SETUP > NETWORK STATUS…).
The Network Status Page shows all displays, modules, servos, and other Dynon Avionics
products installed on the SkyView network via the D9 SkyView Network connectors. This
includes the following devices: SV-HDX 800, SV-HDX1100, SV-ADAHRS-200/201
modules, SV-EMS-220 modules, SV-ARINC-429 modules, SV-COM-PANEL for SV-
COM-X83 COM radios, SV-AP-PANEL / SV-KNOB-PANEL control panels, and Dynon
Avionics Autopilot Servos. It does NOT include any non-Dynon Avionics devices or any
of the following Dynon Avionics devices that connect via a method other than SkyView
Network: SV-XPNDR-261 transponders, SV-ADSB-472 ADS-B receiver, SV-GPS-2020
GPS receiver, OAT(s), or individual engine sensors.
SkyView Network has redundancy and error detection features which allow it to detect
and annunciate module and SkyView Network wiring faults. In the event that SkyView
reports a problem with an ADAHRS, EMS module, autopilot servo, or a problem with the
“standby network”, this NETWORK STATUS page will provide more information about
the nature of the problem.
4.3.7 Ethernet Connection
SkyView systems containing more than one (1) display should ideally have their Ethernet
ports connected together for best operation. See Section 25 Appendix C: Wiring and
Electrical Connections for further information about Ethernet.
4.3.8 Internal Time Keeping
Zulu/GMT time is initially obtained from a GPS source. Time is displayed as “--:--:--“until
a GPS fix is received. When a display is turned off, a connected SV-BAT-320 backup
battery enables the display to retain accurate time. To display time, a SkyView display
that is not connected to a SV-BAT-320 must obtain a GPS fix each time it is powered on.
4.3.9 RS-232 Serial Devices
RS-232 serial communication to non–Dynon Avionics devices and interfacing of other
devices in general can be involved and detailed. This installation manual is intended to
provide general installation advice for the most common devices and situations.
A SkyView display includes five (5) general purpose RS-232 serial ports available for use
with compatible equipment. Serial port transmit (TX) and receive (RX) wire sets are
twisted together. Connected RS-232 serial devices must share a common power ground
with the SkyView display(s).
Dynon Avionics devices that use RS-232 serial ports for communication include the SV-
GPS-2020, SV-XPNDR-261, and SV-ADSB-472. Devices from other manufacturers that
are commonly used with SkyView include transponders (with serial port inputs), NAV
radios (such as Garmin SL30), COM radios (such as Garmin SL40), GPS devices (such
as the Garmin X96 series), Vertical Power (VP-X), and Emergency Location Transmitters
(ELTs). Reference the appropriate sections of this manual for detailed instructions for
