Wiring Voltage Regulator and SkyView

I wired up the voltage regulator (except for the wire going to the annunciator control circuit for the low voltage light).

The two power lines (red) are connected to separate pins on the VP-X.  The larger (18AWG) wire on the top provides power for the alternator field.  The voltage regulator takes power from this wire and sends it out the white wire to regulate the alternator.

I installed the second SkyView battery on the right side in the same spot as the one on the left.

I also laid out when the radios will penetrate the subpanel, then installed the custom circuits on either side of that.  The IC-25 Bus is on the left and the AN-1 Annunciator Control circuit is on the right.

I fabricated 1/4″ aluminum spacers to keep the back of the circuits from contacting the subpanel.

I measured where the SkyView connectors will sit on the back of the panel and taped them in place so that I could start wiring them.

I separated out all of the wires and labeled them.

All of the wires from the right SkyView display that need to connect to the bus will reach across the panel.  They will need to be run across the top of the audio panel and through the two panel support ribs.  I can’t run any of these now since I don’t have the radio stack yet.
