SkyView SV-ARINC-429 Module: The SV-ARINC-429 Module enables compatibility with third-party IFR GPS/NAV devices - such as the Avidyne IFD series - that communicate using the ARINC-429 protocol. The module allows SkyView to accept additional ARINC-429 inputs to provide advanced features that IFR pilots desire, including such as GPS steering for autopilot, CDI auto-scaling, and vertical guidance information, along with VOR, LOC, and ILS functionality. When installed, SkyView becomes the full HSI for these navigation devices, with no need to install a conventional Course Deviation Indicator or Glide Slope head.
Mounting: The SV-ARINC-429 is nominally mounted in the avionics bay.
Connections: The SV-ARINC-429 has two connectors. First, a D25 that attaches to your ARINC-429 device. It provides two ARINC channels in and one ARINC channel out. Two SV-ARINC-429 Modules can be connected into a SkyView System.
And second, a D9 that connects to your SkyView network with our standard network cables.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ACM CUSTOMERS:
The SV-ARINC-429 module is not required if you are planning an Advanced Control Module installation. The ACM already contains a built-in SV-ARINC-429 adapter, making an extra one unnecessary. That is unless you are planning an especially well apportioned panel with dual IFR navigators. In such case, you will need an SV-ARINC-429 adapter to talk to the second navigator.
