SV-ARINC-429 Installation and Configuration

ARINC Device Connections
The SV-ARINC-429 has two ARINC-429 receivers and one transmitter. The single transmitter
may be connected to multiple devices that can accept the ARINC-429 information that SkyView
transmits.
The SV-ARINC-429 also has a serial input that is designed to provide auxiliary information that
ARINC-429 GPS outputs do not provide (such as altitude). SkyView needs this data to consider
the input a valid and complete GPS position source. This input is not a general purpose serial
port, and cannot be configured for other uses. Input coming into this serial port is assumed to
be in Aviation format, which most ARINC-429 capable panel mount GPS units can output.
The following several diagrams show some common radios and GPSs, and the preferred
connection schemes between them and the SV-ARINC-429.
