I removed the sevo from the mounting bracket
in the tail cone. After looking at the
wires and connectors again I removed the servo from the airplane.
I also removed the seat area inspection cover to
expose the pitch servo which is located under the pilot seat. Since the day I started flying the airplane I
have had a caution message which reads “STANDYBY NETWORK ERROR.” I have researched it several times and
decided since it is a caution concerning a secondary communications back-up for
the servos I could fly without it. In
researching the servo wiring I found a
statement that I must have read and understood incorrectly when I installed the
servo wiring. There are 2-wires on each
servo that are to be left disconnected if the system is a D180. My system is the SkyView D1000. The wires should have been connected from the
beginning. Since they are called out as
xxxx-a and xxxx-b at the control module I began to think they may be part of
the STANDBY NETWORK ERROR problem I am experiencing. I connected the wires at the pitch servo and
switched on the SkyView. To my great
relief, the STANDBY NETWORK ERROR message did not come on. I think that problem is now understood and
solved. I reinstalled the seat
inspection cover and the carpeting. I
turned my attention to the roll servo. After
removing the servo from the airplane I took it to UPS and had them send it to
Dynon Avionics. It is to be delivered to
Dynon on Friday the 29th. I
emailed Dynon Tech Support the following message:
I have an
RV-12 with the SkyView system. I removed the servo today and shipped it
to your facility by UPS ground. It is to be delivered on Friday, August
29th. I believe the servo is
bad because:
1. In the RV-12 the roll servo is wired through the
pitch servo. The pitch servo is working properly.
2.
I checked all of the connections on both servos
and the spade connectors are all properly seated and the crimps are solid.
3.
I have 12.+V power at the roll servo.
I appreciate
your assistance with this issue. Please let me know your findings as soon as
you are able.
I received an email back from Steve at Dynon Tech Support thanking
me of the information. Steve said he would add it to the work order.
