Tewbert Do you still have the SV intercom harness?

I have installed the ACM with 2 Skyview touches. All systems are up to date with the latest firmware. I am getting an ACM offline warning. I also loaded an ECB IFR config file. Alt Field 1 is energizing too when I switch from battery to Alternator. I have no way of seeing the circuit breaker...

I finally found the problem to be in a splitter cable. Plugging directly into the SV the EMS worked fine. Thanks skysailor! I had checked the pins on the EMS cable but never thought to look at the other side of the Y.

Unfortunatetly it's a single 10". I installed the system in Jan 2012. It's worked perfectly till now

I searched the forums and didn't find my problem. This is an early SV System in a RV-8A with a full complement of engine instruments. It has been rock solid for many years. About a week ago 5 minutes after takeoff the entire EMS screen display was replaced with a big red X, I went back and...

I went through the same thought process. My D10A had a screen delamination problem but it's tied to my FD-180. I normally use the D10A to display engine instruments and get the addition of a backup EFIS capability. I sent mine in about two weeks ago and received a return tracking notice this...

Thanks Jaques and good luck. I pretty well gutted my stack. Had a sigtronics intercom, old King KMA20 and the 300XL. Getting rid of the King and 300xl allowed me to install the 480 with about a 3/8" gap on the top of the stack. I'm installing the SV Intercom. Its ability to input two Comms and...

Thanks for the replies. Jacques, thanks you have opened a window here. There is a "Wiki" that states that it appears the 480 does not send radio nav data. Then connecting the output of P7 pin 5 to my "Radio/Nav" selector should allow me to switch between the 480 and SL30. I'm planning an...

Hopefully, someone has done this. I'm swapping out my Garmin 300XL for a GNS 480. I also have a SL 30 and a D10A in the system. I've wired the SL30 to the 480 on the 480 serial Tx1/Rx1 and SL30 RS232. I've also tagged on a serial line from the respective box Tx to a selector switch to send the...

Got it! Thank You.

Sorry, I've searched and can't find the info. Many moons ago I believe I saw a guide for upgrading a FD180 system to Skyview. Obviously many of the existing harness connections can be used EGT/CHT etc. Is there a connector pin to connector pin guide chart somewhere?

I've had a FD-180 and D-10A in my RV-7 for a long time. The aircraft was dis-assembled  for a lengthy time for painting and the instruments were stored in a cabinet. Recently the aircraft is flying but I have airspeed issues. I've tested each system together and separately and they both read...

It would be a nice feature to have. Do you know if this was attempted and can't be done? I imagine having the Knob panel with the A/P panel would be a work around. Thanks.

Sorry, this is probably covered but I can't find it. I'm looking at installing an Autopilot Panel on a SV system. If I select Heading, Track, ALT etc on the AP panel, does this automatically select the same on Joystick #1 when in Map mode or must this be still be done manually? Thanks

Re: FD180 and D-10A Cannot Display EMS data on D-1 Thanks!
