General Information
The FD102CMT is a 10.2" Widescreen LCD Ceiling Mount, used to deploy our popular
10.2” Widescreen LCD. The FDS Avionics Corp. high resolution 10.2” Widescreen LCD
is perfect for cabin video and graphical entertainment.
Front View
Additional Information
The FD102CMT is very rugged with the mounting structure and the internal pivot parts
manufactured from milled aluminium. The ceiling mounting frame is mounted in the
aircraft where it will provide optimum viewing enjoyment by the passengers, resulting in a
smooth shape that houses the LCD and blends into the cabin headliner. The display can
deploy 180° so that it may be pushed away from the latching point in case of emergency
egress.
Deployment is via a mechanical latch at the font of the unit. Depressing the latch releases
the display and the display is normally placed at a 90 degree angle for viewing. To stow
the display the operator would push the display up to the ceiling position where a positive
latch occurs.

Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD102CMT, 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 ceiling. Most aircraft have a
significant curvature in the headliner and it will probably be necessary to modify the
headliner to mount to a structure that will hold this mount.
Once it has been determined that you have sufficient room and mounting locations for the
FD102CMT, then it would be appropriate to start mounting the base to the frame. The
FD102CMT is attached to the aircraft with four #10 screws. There are four attach points
on the top plate.
There are two connectors on 14” cables coming from the LCD. The DB-9 is used for
12VDC Power. The DB-15 is used for VGA and two composite inputs..

Power
This is a 12VDC monitor that requires 2 Amps of power to operate. This is also available
as FD102CMT (28V) which is a 28VDC monitor that requires .5 Amp of power to operate.
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
75 Ohm 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.
The individual wires should be extended with 6” 22awg wires using an environmental
splice for the red & green wires, and Raychem caps for the blue, white, and black wires.
