SV-EMS-220 Installation and ConfigurationSELF-CLEAR–If an alarm occurs on a sensor configured to be self-clearing, the alertdisplays on screen until either MSG is pressed or the alarm condition goes away.Consider the example where you have configured your fuel pressure alarm to be selfclearing.If your engine’s fuel pressure rises too high but then returns to normal, theSkyView display alarms, but stops as soon as the alarming condition has ceased. Noacknowledgement is needed.LATCHING–If an alarm occurs on a sensor configured to be latching, the alert displays onscreen if the sensor is currently being displayed and the MSG label blinks. The visualalerts will continue until MSG is pressed to acknowledge, even if the alarm conditiongoes away. This means if, for example, your oil pressure momentarily gets too high butreturns to normal, the instrument continues to alarm on the condition until that alarm isacknowledged. Latching alarms let you to know if an alarm happened momentarily,when you might have otherwise missed it.Reference the SkyView Pilot’s User Guide for information regarding how sensor alarms show uponscreen during operation.EMS Sensor Graphical Display LimitsThe settings here define the minimum and maximum values that will be shown graphically onthe sensor’s gauge. Effectively, this is the start and stop point of the gauge. If the indicator youchoose for this value shows digital numbers for the value, they will not be limited by thissetting. The system will not allow you to set these numbers higher or lower than the sensor cansupport.EMS Sensor RangesThe order that ranges are configured has no effect on the functionality or display of the gauge.Ranges are defined with the following properties: enable, color, top, and bottom. Enable isused to tell SkyView if that range is on or off. If it is off, it will not be considered or displayed.There are five configurable ranges for each gauge and four colors for any given range (black,green, yellow, or red.). If a range is not defined, it is considered black, so there is not generally areason to configure black ranges. If ranges overlap, red trumps yellow, yellow trumps green,and green trumps black. For example, you could set up two ranges for the same gauge, each 0-10, one red, and one green, and that range would be red. To further illustrate this behavior, ifanother range for that same gauge was configured from 5-15 and set to yellow, only 10-15would be yellow.The two edge ranges are considered to go on "forever," so if a gauge is set up as yellow from 10to 20 and red from 20 to 30, and the sensor reads 35, it will still be considered red since that isabove the highest range. It will be considered yellow below 10. If you wish for this not to occur,you must make your edge ranges black.Alarms are only triggered when the value enters the red range on a gauge.Fuel Computer ConfigurationSetting Pulses/GallonSkyView System Installation Guide - Revision J 7-45
