6.6 Initial SV-BAT-320 Test
Figure 35: BATTERY TEST NEEDED Message
The Initial SV-BAT-320 Test is performed to ensure that a SV-BAT-320 is fully functional
after installation is complete. SkyView records the date of the last battery test (if any) and
will annunciate, via a message and an icon in the top bar, when an initial, or annual battery
test is required. For instructions on performing the annual SV-BAT-320 test, see Annual
SV-BAT-320 Test section.
An SV-BAT-320 is designed to (when fully charged) power a SkyView display and devices
powered by a SkyView display, for at least 60 minutes if aircraft power is lost. The Initial
SV-BAT-320 Test ensures that an SV-BAT-320 has adequate capacity by discharging it
while recording the time elapsed.
If your SkyView system has more than one (1) SkyView display with an SV-BAT-320
installed, perform the following test individually on each SkyView display.
Test Procedure
1. The SV-BAT-320 must be fully charged prior to commencing this test. Reference
the section Charging the SV-BAT-320 above for information on charging the SV-
BAT-320.
2. Apply power to the SkyView display you will be testing. If all of your SkyView
displays power up from a single switch or circuit breaker, power down any display
other than the unit on which you will perform the SV-BAT-320 test – push and hold
Button 1 (HOLD TO POWER DOWN).
3. Remove power to the SkyView display you will be testing. If all of your SkyView
displays power up (and power down) from a single switch or circuit breaker, push
the POWER OFF button on the SkyView display(s) that are not being tested. That
SkyView display will be powered off.
4. On the SkyView display that is being tested, during the 30 second power
off countdown, press the TEST BAT button above button 8 (far right
button) – see Figure 36 below.

5. The BATTERY TEST screen will appear displaying the status of the test. If the SV-
BAT-320 is able to power the system for at least 45 minutes, the SV-BAT-320
passes this test.
