•
Upper/lower Right: Main and auxiliary (if installed) aircraft batteries. Displays
voltage of the aircraft batteries, as well as the amount of current flowing into or out
of the batteries. Current will not be displayed if an amps shunt is not installed and
connected to SkyView. When current is available, an arrow next to the Amps reading
depicts whether the battery is charging or discharging by the way that it is pointing.
An arrow pointing towards the battery implies that current is flowing into the
battery. In other words, it is charging. Yellow cautions and red warning levels are
triggered at the values specified during setup.
•
Lower left: Fault. Displayed when VP-X detects fault in a circuit, system overvoltage,
system overcurrent, and other failures. Look at all elements on the VP-X page to
identify the specific error.
Power Circuit List
The bottom ¾ of the VP-X page depicts the status of all circuits that have been configured and
are enabled in the VP-X setup process.
The center column displays the name of the circuit.
The column to the left of the circuit name is blank when the circuit is turned off, displays a
green checkmark when it is turned on, and displays a red “X”
when there is a fault condition.
The column to the right of the circuit depicts contextual information about the circuit.
Nominally, this is the current draw - in Amps - for circuits that are powered on.
If the circuit is in a fault condition, the fault condition is described. Possible fault conditions for
circuits include:
•
OVERV: Over Voltage Limit (alternator only).
•
SHORT: Shot Circuit.
•
OVERC: Over Current.
•
OPEN: Open Circuit.
Additional information that is only displayed for flaps/trim includes:
•
RUNWY: Runaway trim or flaps.
•
ACTVE: Actively moving trim or flaps.
•
DSABL: Trim or flaps disabled.
Circuit Control
Whenever the VP-X page is being displayed, the joystick underneath that page lets you highlight
and select each circuit. Simply rotate or move the joystick up and down to select a circuit. If a
fault exists, the first faulted circuit will be automatically highlighted.
When a circuit is selected the menu at the bottom of the SkyView screen automatically changes
to allow control of the circuit.
