SkyView - Dynon Avionics

EMS Sensor Input MappingSV-EMS-220 Installation and ConfigurationIn order to save installers time, Dynon provides preconfigured sensor mapping andsettings files which support popular four and six-cylinder engine installations. All ofthe installations mentioned in the Example Engine Sensor and TransducerInstallations Section have preconfigured mapping and settings files that areavailable for download at downloads.dynonavionics.com.The file that contains sensor mapping, settings, and widget graphical propertiesinformation has a .dfg file extension and is automatically shared between displays.Installers do not need to transfer files between displays.If your engine installation is listed in the Example Engine Sensor and Transducer InstallationsSection, we recommend you install one of the sensor mapping and settings files onto theSkyView display using the instruction found the How to Load and Delete Files Section. Thenupdate or modify the sensor map and settings based on your installation.Note that it is critical that you should check every setting before operating your engine withthem as these files are only a starting point. While efforts were made to set up temperature,pressure, and other ranges to reasonable starting points, Dynon makes no claim that they arecorrect for your engine, as slightly different engines may have different limits.Use this section as a guide when you review and update the sensor map and settings that weresourced from the preconfigured file. Also use this section if you are creating a sensor map andsettings from scratch.EMS Sensor Mapping ExplanationThe SkyView system must be configured to map SV-EMS-220 pin numbers to physical sensors.This section contains an explanation of what it means to define a sensor for mapping purposesand also contains instructions on how to map sensors mentioned in this chapter to pins on theSV-EMS-220. Mapping can be accomplished using two methods: you can use a premade file asmentioned above or you can manually map engine sensors to EMS module pins.All sensors and transducers are mapped in the Sensor Input Mapping Wizard. As mentionedearlier, some pins are compatible with a variety of sensors, while other pins have fixedfunctionality. A sensor is defined in the Sensor Input Mapping Wizard by the followingparameters: Pin #–the pin or set of pins the sensor is connected to Function–the phenomenon the sensor measures (e.g., pressure and temperature) Sensor–the physical part used, for example 0-80 PSI Fluid Pressure (100411-001) Name–a six character field that names the sensor for use by the pilot in flight.Loading a premade sensor mapping file onto SkyView can save installation time.These files define sensors with the four parameters mentioned.SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision J 7-43
