Vertical Power VP-X Integration and Configuration
13-4 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision R
The VP-X settings in the SETUP MENU > VP-X SETUP menu mainly concern how information
from the VP-X is displayed in SkyView:
 MAIN BATTERY WARNINGS: Sets the main battery voltage levels at which caution and
warning indications are provided visually on the VP-X page.
 AUX BATTERY WARNINGS: Sets the auxiliary battery voltage levels at which caution and
warning indications are provided visually on the VP-X page. If you do not have an
auxiliary aircraft battery (note that this is NOT the SkyView SV-BAT-320) installed, this
setting can be ignored.
 SYSTEM AMPS: Sets the current levels for the entire electrical system at which caution
and warning indications are provided visually on the VP-X page.
 ALTERNATOR AMPS: Sets the current levels for the alternator at which caution and
warning indications are provided visually on the VP-X page.
 BATTERY AMPS: Sets the discharge rate at which caution and warning indications are
provided visually on the VP-X page.
 SKYVIEW AMPS SHUNT LOCATION: Depending on your electrical layout, your SkyView
shunt may be in one of a few places in your electrical system.
 AILERON TRIM POSITION / ELEVATOR TRIM POSITION / FLAP POSITION: Set to SkyView
EMS if your trim and/or flaps position signal input is routed to your SV-EMS-220/221
module, or to VP-X if it is connected to your VP-X system instead. If set to VP-X, the
engine page trim and/or flaps widgets will be sourced from the VP-X position
information. Note that even when using the VP-X as your trim and/or flaps position
source, you do still need to perform the SkyView-based calibration routine for the trim
information to display properly in SkyView. These calibrations can be found under
SETUP MENU > HARDWARE CALIBRATION > EMS CALIBRATION. You do not need to
perform that VP-X Configurator-based calibration. However, set all of the points in the
VP-X Configurator to “1”.
 To display a battery voltage widget that displays battery voltage connected to the VP-X,
go to SETUP MENU > EMS SETUP > SCREEN LAYOUT EDITOR > (xx % PAGE) > SENSOR
(button) > BATT VOLTS (VP-X) > ACCEPT (button) > STYLE (per your preference) > SIZE
(per your preference) > SAVE (button).
Post Installation Checks
 Follow all installation, configuration, and test procedures as instructed by the Vertical
Power documentation.
 Ensure that your VP-X system is powered on and functioning normally.
