Accessory Installation and ConfigurationWire ColorRedBlackWhiteNotesConnected through a pilot-accessible switch to10 to 15 volt DC supply.Must handle up to 10 amps.Must have a constant connection to ground.This is required for the warning light tooperate when controller is powered off or notfunctioning. Line must handle up to 10 amps.Connected to a light bulb (or resistor & LED)tied to switched ship’s power. This line isgrounded when the heater controller ispowered off or not functioning. Connectioncan handle no more than 1 amp. Currentdepends on light source connected.Table 43–Controller Power Wiring DetailsHeater Status ConnectionThe probe heater functions properly whether or not you make this connection. It issimply a status output for your convenience.The white heater status wire is grounded when the probe heater is turned off or notfunctioning properly. This wire should be connected to a light on the panel, whose otherterminal is connected to switched aircraft power. When the heater is on and functioningproperly, the white heater status line is open, leaving the indicator light turned off. When thereis no power to the heater controller–or it is not functioning properly–the white line isgrounded, turning the indicator light on. This parallels annunciator behavior in FAA certificatedaircraft.Aircraft Spruce P/N 17-410 is an example of a light that will work for this application. An LEDand resistor in series will also suffice. If you use an LED as the indicator, you must choose aresistor that delivers the appropriate current to the LED, and can accommodate the powerrequired for its current and voltage drop. Also note that the power and ground connections onLEDs are not reversible.If there is an SV-EMS-220 in the same SkyView system, consider using one of itsgeneral purpose inputs configured as a contact for heated pitot operational status.Connect the heater status output directly to the EMS module’s pin. There is noneed for additional resistors or lights. Reference the EMS Sensor Definitions,Mapping, and Settings Section for general purpose input configuration details.14-6 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision J
