Electrical Installation
SkyView Network
The SV-AP-PANEL has two SkyView Network connections (D-9 connectors). Both connectors are
electrically identical and are internally connected. Thus, the SV-AP-PANEL can be installed in the
SkyView Network as a “passthrough” device, or “daisy chained” from one SkyView Network
device, through the SV-AP-PANEL, to the next SkyView Network device. The SV-NET-1.5CC is an
18-inch SkyView Network cable that is ideal for such situations. The SV-AP-PANEL receives
power (for operation of the buttons) from SkyView Network. Dimming of the SV-AP-PANEL is
controlled by the SkyView display(s).
Trim Motor Control
As of SkyView v11.0, SkyView does not have “Auto Trim” capability. Such
functionality may be added in a future version.
In addition to the AP mode buttons, the SV-AP-PANEL includes an adjustable, speed-sensitive
trim controller, eliminating the need for relay packs or a separate trim controller. The
integrated trim controller is wired to a D15 connector that can be connected to Aircraft power
(12V only), pushbuttons (typically, on the stick), and power to and control of up to two trim
motors - such as those made by Ray Allen. A set of pushbuttons can optionally be installed for
the copilot. The pilot’s pushbuttons take priority over the copilot’s pushbuttons. Pushbuttons
used for Trim Motor Control must be Push Button Normally Open (PBNO) – a momentary
switch with a contact that is closed only when the button is pushed. One terminal of the
pushbutton is connected to the selected pin, the other terminal of the pushbutton is connected
to avionics ground (can be common with Pin 2).
