    Choosing an IFR GPS navigator

    Worked with Avidyne Field Rep who was really helpful shortly after posting this. On the ARINC page: Input 1. High speed, EFIS/Airdata Input 2: off. Output 1: High speed, Gama 429, Graphics. On the VOR/LOC/GS ARINC 429 Config page: RX off, TX High Speed and Format: VHF 429. SDI...

    Choosing an IFR GPS navigator

    I'm doing a new IFD540 install (not a slide in replace for Garmin) but trying to get the ARINC setup to work into SV HDX. The SV Install manual ARINC settings don't look like the settings I see for ARINC in Setup Mode. What ARINC settings are needed from SV side and from IFD side to get ARINC...

    Audible Check Gear Alert

    The system works with the settings shown last. It gives an "Engine Monitor" audible when I raise the gear before reaching the Check Gear Speed, and it gives "Check Gear" when the gear is not lowered all the way and I pass DOWN through the check gear speed. Thanks for the help. It's good to...

    Audible Check Gear Alert

    I really appreciate the help on this. I'm getting closer but not quite there yet. I've attached images of the engine panel and setup screens to reduce likelihood of confusion of what I actually have configured. At this point, in ground testing (0 KIAS) I'm getting an "Engine Monitor"...

    Audible Check Gear Alert

    Yes, I'm following the section closely starting on page 7-70. The only thing I can find that's ambiguous in the instructions is how the switch itself is set up electrically. I've used the norma EMS switch assumptions that when a switch is closed it grounds the output voltage. When OFF it...

    Audible Check Gear Alert

    Equipment: HDX with SV-EMS - I've got microswitch on Gear that signals when gear is all the way down. It's wired through SV-EMS as a Contact named GEAR - I've put the "red/green light" widget in my engine display and it responds appropriately turning green when the gear is all the way down...

    Alternator Fault Indication when Primary Alternator Disabled in VP-X

    Got this resolved. For now, you have to set up VP-X to trick Skyview so it doesn't throw the alarm. In VP-X Configuration: enable primary alternator, set the limit amps at 1, and turn off current fault. This makes SV think you have an alternator field winding monitor, but you don't and since...

    Alternator Fault Indication when Primary Alternator Disabled in VP-X

    Yes, I've been actively working with Vertical Power (VP-X), and have made all the changes in configuration on their end. They have seen this before and apparently it's a bug on the Dynon side that's not recognizing the VP-X configuration and ignore the alternator field signal (since it's just...

    Alternator Fault Indication when Primary Alternator Disabled in VP-X

    Installed: Skyview HDX and VP-X with Primary Alternator monitoring disabled because I have a permanent magnet Alternator In VP-X Configuration, I've disabled the Primary Alternator circuit (actually cycled it from enabled to disabled as recommended for Rotax applications) but still getting a...

    Reading Serial Port to get AGL data

    I'm installing an HDX1100 and would like to get it's computation of AGL as part of an external logic to warn me when gear should be extended (ie when AGL is less than 1000 ft, for instance).  I know I can probably program an alert IN the HDX, but I'd like to power a separate warning light, and...

    two red wires on D37 Harness for EMS

    I'm wiring an EMS D37F harness and notice that there are 2 red wires in the harness bundle.  Because the harness is pre-wired to the D37 connector and closed up, I can't tell which of these red wires goes to pin 1 (Battery Voltage input) and which one goes to pin 15 (fuel flow power).  One of...
