The SKY497 can be used with a WX-1000/SKY497 display, an alternate display device or both. When
interfaced to both displays (WX-1000/SKY497 display and alternate display), display functions are
independent from each other. When installing an alternate display device the service menu cannot be
accessed, even if a WX-1000/SKY497 display is installed, therefore a terminal device (i.e., laptop) is
required for post-installation checkout (see appendix E).
The SKY497 is designed to transmit traffic information to the alternate display device via our ARINC-429
bus interface. Refer to display manufacturer instructions for installation details.
WX-1000/SKY497 Display P/N 78-8060-5900-x. To operate with SKYWATCH, existing WX-1000 displays
must conform to TSO-C113. If the equipment tag on the back of the unit (see figure 1-7) does not identify
SKYWATCH and TSO-C113, return the display to the factory for modification. To schedule workload and
ensure a quick turn around, a return authorization will be required. Call BFG Avionics Systems Customer
Service (1-800-453-0288 or 1-616-949-6600) for details.
