General Information
The FD090CV is the latest version of our popular 9” TFT LCD. TFT stands for Thin Film
Transistor, and is a type of technology used to improve the image quality of an LCD. This
unit is a full function 9-inch LCD housed in a metal case that will fit on most aircraft. This
unique monitor is designed with a connector bracket that flips to allow cable to exit from the
back or the bottom of the unit. Built with retrofit aircraft integration in mind this unit can
switch between three video input sources using an infrared remote control.

Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD090CV should be installed on a non-
essential bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker. This unit mounts to the aircraft’s pre-
installed bracket using 4-40 screws.
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 0.6 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.
S-Video/Composite and Audio Wiring
Recommended cable for s-video/composite and audio purposes is PIC 75 Ohm Coax, P/N
V76261. This is a lightweight, flexible, and low signal loss cable which meets FAA
flammability requirements of FAR 23.1359(d), FAR 25.853(a) and FAR 25.869(a)(4).
Similar aviation coaxial cable can be used from other vendors, as well. Some aircraft are
prone to AC noise - we recommend adding to the composite source a 75Ohm video
isolation transformer such as Deerfield Laboratory, Inc. Part No. 162-1
(www.deerfieldlab.com, [phone]). In most cases this should be added to the video
output of the 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.

HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) defines the protocol and electrical
specifications for the Signalling, pin-out, electrical, and mechanical requirements of cable
and connectors used for transmitting High-Definition content. The Type A HDMI connector
(shown below) has 19 pins with bandwidth to support all SDTV, EDTV, and HDTV modes.
The plug’s outside dimensions are 13.9 mm wide by 4.45 mm high.
ECS manufactures an HDMI cable that is terminated at the factory. It is ordered as part
number 600-19786-XXX, where XXX is the length in inches for the desired cable.

Power and Ground Wiring
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 1 amp of power to operate. To operate
properly this monitor requires an input voltage of 18-29VDC.
The rated current of the equipment and associated voltage drop should be taken
into consideration when selecting wire gauge. The following example is based on
an install with a 28VDC power system and a total of 50 feet of wire between the
circuit breaker, monitor and ground.
Example: 22awg wire has 16.2 Ohms per 1000 feet, this equates to .81 Ohms for 50
feet. 1 Amp of current on .81 Ohms will drop .81 Volts.

Also, use short heavy gauge wire and a clean tight connection for ground.
It is the installer's responsibility to understand the product's requirements to install
the product in compliance with industry standards and safety.
Operation Instructions
The FD090CV is continuously on but can be de-energized by removing power from the
entertainment system. No pilot or aircrew action is necessary during flight or ground
operation. Passengers can change the video output from the FD090CV using the remote
control.
NOTE: The HDMI Input on the FD090CV is not HDCP complaint therefore will not
work with certain source devices such as Blu-Ray players.
