Returning SkyView Components to Service after Repair

SkyView Network enabled components such as modules and servos are shipped in a “like new” state after repair. To return a SkyView Network component to SkyView Network, follow the following directions.

Note: there are 3 different procedures for returning SkyView displays to service, depending on how the display is returned:

 

SkyView Display Scenario 1: When the documentation furnished with the repaired display indicates that is being returned to you with the exact same settings/configuration as it was sent to Dynon Avionics with

1. In this case, the display contains EXACTLY the same configuration as it did when you sent it in. If your system was working properly before the display failed and was sent in for repair:
   1. Reinstall the display, reconnecting all harnesses and connections as originally installed.
2. Power up the entire SkyView System (all displays, modules, servos, etc.)
3. If this is the only display installed:
   1. Reconfigure SkyView Network under SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SKYVIEW NETWORK SETUP > CONFIGURE…
   2. Confirm all SkyView Network components are found, including ALL displays that are in the aircraft.
4. If there is another display installed in the aircraft:
   1. Using a display that never left the aircraft (and is presumably configured and working correctly):
      1. Reconfigure SkyView Network under SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SKYVIEW NETWORK SETUP > CONFIGURE…
      2. Confirm all SkyView Network components are found.
5. Confirm that all settings, behavior, and configuration are normal.
6. If your SkyView system is not working normally, contact Dynon Avionics Technical Support (contact information at the beginning of this manual) for further assistance.

 

SkyView Display Scenario 2: When repaired display is the ONLY display in the aircraft, and the documentation furnished with the repaired unit indicates that the display was shipped “like new”

1. Reinstall the display, reconnecting all harnesses and connections as originally installed.
2. Power up the entire SkyView System (all displays, modules, servos, etc.).
3. If you have an EXPORT SETTINGS file on a USB flash drive:
   1. Load the EXPORT SETTINGS file via SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SOFTWARE > LOAD FILES.
   2. Confirm that the tail number under SYSTEM SETUP > AIRCRAFT INFORMATION is now set to the actual aircraft tail number, not DYNON. TAIL NUMBER should not include dashes (-) or spaces. Examples: 
      Correct: N12AB
      Incorrect: N-12AB or N 12AB
   3. Reconfigure SkyView Network under SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SKYVIEW NETWORK SETUP > CONFIGURE…
   4. Confirm all SkyView Network components are found.
   5. Confirm all settings, calibrations, and behaviors are as expected. Dynon Avionics recommends using the Installation Guide to walk through each set up section to confirm proper system operation.
4. If you do not have an EXPORT SETTINGS file, use the SkyView Installation Guide to perform ALL setup and configuration steps as if the entire system is being installed for the first time.

SkyView Display Scenario 3: When other display is part of a multi-display system in the aircraft, and the documentation furnished with the repaired unit indicates that the display was shipped “like new”

1. Your repaired display will have the latest version of SkyView Software on it. All displays in the aircraft must be on the same SkyView Software version. Therefore, before doing anything with the repaired display, confirm that your OTHER (still installed) SkyView displays are running the latest system Software by comparing the version available at dynon.com/docs with the version that is listed in SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > DISPLAY HARDWARE INFORMATION. If the version displayed here does not match what is available on the web site, update these displays to the most current version of Software before proceeding further. Instructions for updating your displays can be found in the Software Updates and File Operations section of this manual.
   1. If you have to update SkyView Software, look through all the settings in the SETUP MENU after the update, as there may be some new options. Use the Revision History at the beginning of the SkyView System Installation Guide to help determine what has changed between versions.
2. Reinstall the repaired display, reconnecting all harnesses and connections as originally installed.
3. Power up the entire SkyView System (all displays, modules, servos, etc.).
4. From the display that never left the airplane, save your settings files to a USB flash drive by using SETUP MENU > EXPORT SETTINGS …
5. Move this USB flash drive to the repaired display, and load both the .dfg and .sfg files that were created on the USB flash drive by using SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SOFTWARE > LOAD FILES…
6. Set the tail number of the repaired display (SYSTEM SETUP > AIRCRAFT INFORMATION) to DYNON AVIONICS.
7. Going back to a display that never left the aircraft, which is configured properly and working correctly:
   
   NOTE: It is important that the following steps are done from a display which has remained in the aircraft, and NEVER the newly repaired display. If network configuration is done from the repaired display, it is possible for it to overwrite the correct settings that are stored in your good display with the Dynon Avionics default factory settings.
   
    
   1. On the display that stayed in the plane, confirm that the tail number under SYSTEM SETUP > AIRCRAFT INFORMATION is set to the actual aircraft tail number, not DYNON.
   2. On the display that stayed in the plane, reconfigure SkyView Network under SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SKYVIEW NETWORK SETUP > CONFIGURE…
   3. Confirm all SkyView Network components are found, including ALL displays that are in the aircraft.
   4. Exit Setup mode.
       
8. On the recently repaired display, confirm that the tail number under SYSTEM SETUP >
   AICRAFT INFORMATION is now set to the actual aircraft tail number, not DYNON. This
   implies that all settings and configurations have been synchronized from the other
   display.
