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 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...

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...

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...

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

I searched the manuals and read many posts, but can't find my problem. I just added a D-10A to my existing FD 180. I updated both units to version 5.4 and ran the DSAB configuration. The units are recognized and setting the baro on either crosses to the other unit as well as displaying OAT...

Can the 12 Volt Aux located on the EMS 37 Pin 15 be broken out similar to the +5 volt excitation?  I'm using it on fuel flow, but would like to add another max 200 MA load to it in conjunction with the Flowscan fuel flow sender. Thanks

Is anybody operating the Skyview with Skysports Capacitance probes?  I callibrated the Skysports probe and then calibrated the senders on the SV.  They calibrated fine, and the fuel quantity indicates correctly at 12 volts.  When I take off they read erratic and often read 0.  I'm assuming that...

In recent weeks I have had some boot problems (hangups) when using the backup battery. The SV normally has no problem booting using ships power. Last week after turning off the bus power the "Powering Down in 30 Seconds" displayed for about 15 seconds then the SV shutdown. I re-booted on...

I have two questions. I assume that the SkyView will need an ammeter shunt similar to the 50mv/50A I'm using with my FD 180. Is this correct? Will it be possible to view two Ammeter/Voltmeter indications on the Skyview? Thanks

I searched but couldn't find an answer. I'm trying to get an EFIS D-10 to send Serial altitude data to a Garmin GNC 300XL on a friend's aircraft. I can't seem to find anyway to control the data format from the D-10 like I can in my FD-180. The user manual doesn't make any reference to it...

I have a KMA 20 audio panel and wired the FD180 audio output to an un-switched input. Originally I included a 10K ohm pot in the wiring to adjust the volume, but it is not necessary since the volume is extremely weak. I imagine the problem is internal with the KMA 20. Has anybody had a...

I have about 60 hours on the airplane.  For the first 55 hours the oil temp worked fine.  Now it is reading 145 at normal cruise, about 35 degrees low.  Today I turned on the FD 180 and read 70 degrees across the CHT and EGT gages +- 1 degree.  The Oil Temp was reading 62 degrees.  I clamped a...

When a FD180 and D10A are installed using DSAB interface are they both updated individually through their respective serial wiring?

I'm finishing up the installation of a FD-180. The plan is to fly off Phase I hours and remove an analog airspeed indicator and replace it with a D10A. I plan on paralleling the Pitot, Static and AOA inputs. Besides the obvious (Power, ground, Dsub a and b) what other connections should be...

I just purchased a FD-180. I planned on using a Garmin 300XL and recently got a quote. I was informed " For the Gnc-300xl to be IFR you will need full CDI capability which may be available through Dynons new ARINC box ". Can anyone fill me in on what CDI compatibility using a NMEA feed...
