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!

Re: FD180 and D-10A Cannot Display EMS data on D-1 Thanks that worked, however I have two voltmeters and two ammeters displayed. Do I need to look into the configuration of the FD-180. I would like to get the fuel pressure displayed and something else.

Re: FD180 and D-10A Cannot Display EMS data on D-1 Whoops! I think I figured it out. I need to enable the EMS screen on the rotation list as it is certainly not in the screen rotation now. I'm on my way to the hangar.

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...
