Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD70CV-M-C-1, should be installed on a
non-essential bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker. It is a requirement that a switch be
installed in the cockpit so that the pilot can de-energize the entertainment system should it
become necessary.
The order in which you proceed is up to the installation center. We suggest that you first
look at the mounting plate prior to installing the LCD to make sure you have the proper
room and conditions in the aircraft to mount the display to the wall or bulkhead. Once it has
been determined that you have sufficient room and mounting locations for the FD70CV-MC-1, then it would be appropriate to start mounting the base to the frame. The unit can be
mounted to the bulkhead with fasteners which are located on the rear cover, or installer can
use L brackets and attach to the sides (2 located on each side of the display), from back
or sides using the 8-32 fastener. Length of the screw must not exceed .250 to the inside
of the screw. Screw length is dependent upon thickness of the L brackets. NOTE: Care
should be taken to ensure the unit is not installed in an area with poor ventilation, or
in an area with excessive heat.

Power
This is a 12-28VDC monitor that requires 0.3 Amps (@28V) to 0.5 Amps (@12V) of power
to operate.

Video Wiring Suggestions

All shields should be grounded to the connector at the source, and floating at the display.
Avoid routing video wiring parallel to:

AC wiring

Strobe wiring

DC motor supply cables

Inverter cabling

Or any other potential noise source.

VGA Wiring
Recommended cable for VGA purpose is ECS P/N 453005. This is a single shielded cable
containing 5 separate coaxial cables, color-coded to match the functions of the wires.

We recommend coax cables be terminated using solder sleeve coaxial cable terminators
such as Raychem Part Number CWT-4174-W122-5/9.

Power and Ground Wiring

22 AWG wire is recommended for Power and Ground applications.

Troubleshooting
Video Noise
Check for an incorrect ground in the installation wiring. See specific examples of video
noise below, or visit http://FlightDisplay.com/Grounding.pdf

VGA Shadowing
Most of shadowing problems are due to shielding on the wire. Locate the point where all of
the shields are connected. Cut away the shields, one at a time, while viewing the display on
the screen to observe which shield is causing the noise. Cutting away one shield at a time
will allow you to focus and isolate the video noise issue.

Twisted pair wiring is prone to video noise. ECS VGA Wire

(Detailed under Video Wiring Suggestions) is recommended.

Snow or Sweeping Lines

Lines that slowly sweep up and down are a result of AC noise. This AC noise can be
generated by a power cart on the aircraft. Take the power cart off of the aircraft. Be careful
of inverter wiring, which can also cause noise. Stand off the wires, if necessary.
If snow or sweeping lines persist, it is possible that the ground is at an incorrect point in the
aircraft. Try moving the ground to another location.

No power to Monitor, or No video Input

Verify correct wiring. Check the base receptacle connectors for possibly damaged pins.
Check that the video source is:
1. Powered on,
2. In Play mode, and
3. Displaying video.

Color Distortion

Adjust brightness and contrast settings using the buttons on the monitor.

Remote Control Inoperable

Confirm that the infrared eye on the LCD screen is visible.

Replace battery in remote control.
