NOTE: There are three paths to choose from when upgrading the
wiring:
NOTE: This section will require crimping of several open barreled
crimps. Please read chapter 5W Open Barrel Crimp before
continuing.
ES HST-3/16X1' shall be referred to as heat shrink for the remainder of this
document.
For the remainder of this section figures may not always be given in
conjunction with the text. Use other sections in your manual such as
Sections 31,40,42,43,44 and 45 for figures to help understand the text.
Harness Equivalents
The following list lists equivalents to new updated SkyView harnesses. This
reference information will be useful when completing Section 42C.
WH-RV12- WH-00036 = WH-00046
WH-RV12-OP WH-00026 = WH-00045 & WH-00025 (SEE BELOW)
WH-RV12-FLIGHT WH-00042 = WH-00027
WH-RV12-TX-ANT + WH-00055 = WH-00050
WH-RV12-SL40-ANT = WH-00051
WH-RV12-OAT + WH-00008 = WH-00060
AV AV-17 = AV-00008
The WH-00026 Option Conversion Harness combines both the WH-00045
Options Harness and WH-00025 SkyView AutoPilot Harnesses into one
harness that make the same two connections to the AV-50000A RV-12
Control Module. When asked in Section 42C to install either the options or
autopilot harnesses simply install the appropriately labeled harness on the
WH-00025 instead.
Conversion Harnesses) This update kit supplies the conversion
harnesses necessary for an easy transition to SkyView. Simply plug
the harnesses into the existing harnesses in your kit and after routing a
few new wires included in these harnesses your wiring will be updated.
Pin Swaps) Use the PDF posted at www.vansaircraft.com/..... to
convert your own harnesses pin by pin. Van's Aircraft does not
recommend this option as there are many chances of error. Van's
Aircraft will not be held responsible for any errors made using this
method and also reserves the right to provide limited or no technical
support for this method...you are on your own!
Harness Replacement) As a more expensive and time consuming
option the wiring harnesses and plans from Section 31B may be
purchased from the Finish Kit. This option would replace all the wiring
in the fuselage of the aircraft.
Q: Will I lose any functionality with the conversion harnesses or
pin swaps versus harness replacement?
A: Your functionality will be slightly different, read below.
1) The headphone jack was grounded to the seat pan. In the new
SkyView system both headphone and mic jacks have been isolated
with their grounds going back to the AV-50000A RV-12 Control Module.
This change will have no affect on system performance if your system
was working correctly already using the old configuration.
2) The Aux Music Jack (see Page 31-10) will not be upgraded from a
TRS jack to a TRRS jack. The letters stand for tip, ring and sleeve. The
extra ring on the new jack may be used to remotely control devices
connected to the jack such as a compatible smart phone or music
player. For further information see Section 42C and 31B. If you wish to
have this upgraded functionality order:
WH-00056 Aux Music Jack
ES-00044 Molex Plug 6 Position Micro-Fit
ES-00045 Molex Receptacle 6 Position Micro-Fit
Two (or more if you are not used to crimping these) ES-00046 Molex
Micro-Fit Sockets (20-24). See section 5W Crimping Open-Barreled
Connectors for further crimping information.
