LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > DISPLAY HARDWARE INFORMATION). A VP-X License Code can
be purchased for the entire aircraft you wish to enable the VP-X software features on.
This six character License Code is then entered in SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP
> LICENSE > LICENSE CODE. If you have more than one display in the aircraft, choose one
to install it onto and provide information for only that display. Once any display is
licensed, all connected displays in the Aircraft can use the Vertical Power software
features.
4. An SV-VPX-290 VP-X Software Certificate may be purchased from Dynon Avionics or any
authorized Dynon Avionics retailer. This certificate can be redeemed for a license code
that can be entered in SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > LICENSE > LICENSE CODE.
To redeem a certificate simply follow the instructions on the certificate itself. Similar to
the above, you will need to redeem your certificate by visiting
http://license.dynonavionics.com with your SkyView display model and serial number
ready. Alternatively, you can call Dynon Avionics directly at 425-402-0433 to redeem a
certificate.
Physical and Electrical Installation
Refer to the Vertical Power installation documentation for instructions on the physical and
electrical installation of the VP-X system.
Up-to-date installation manuals, wiring diagrams, and “how-to” guides for the VP-X system can
be found at http://verticalpower.com/documents/.
SkyView modules such as the SV-ADAHRS-200/201, SV-EMS-220/221, and SV-
ARINC-429 receive power via the SkyView Network. Their power supplies are
managed entirely by the SV-D1000 and SV-D700 displays, and cannot be
separately monitored by the VP-X system. However, SkyView components that
have power supplied by ship’s power, such as the Autopilot servos, SV-ADSB-470,
SV-COM-C25/X83, SV-XPNDR-261/262, and heated AOA/pitot probe can have their
power monitored by the VP-X by routing the power connections for those
components via the VP-X
A Dynon SkyView D37 harnesses for a single display contains a pair of power and
ground wires. These pairs of wires are a SINGLE power input, and must be
connected to a single VP-X input when using the VP-X to provide power to
SkyView displays. The dual wiring scheme is needed to provide adequate power to
the SkyView displays given the electrical constraints of the particular wires and D-
sub connections used. These wires should not be sent to separate power channels
or be considered redundant power sources.
Serial Port Connection
All communication between the VP-X system and SkyView is accomplished via a single
bidirectional serial connection. To accomplish this:
