General Information
The FD141CV-C-6 is a special mission 14” night vision/sunlight readable widescreen
monitor.
Built with retrofit aircraft integration in mind, the display can switch between three video
sources using the front button controls. The display includes a daylight/NVG rocker
switch mounted on the front bezel. Additional functions can be added using the 8 bezel
keys; 4-buttons on each side located on the front face of the bezel. These functions are
generated by the mission computer via USB connection through the circular 22-pin
connector.
Front View
Additional Information
The FD141CV-C-6 utilizes a state of the art digital video decoding chipset for video input.
The available video sources are HDSDI (High Definition SDI), VGA (Computer Video,
such as a Moving Map) and Composite Video (Camera, Standard Definition DVD).
The LCD is protected with a .060” non-glare Lexan lens to prevent scratching of the LCD,
and to meet stringent FAA abrasive load criteria.

Installation Instructions
All cabin equipment, such as the FD141CV-C-6, should be installed on a non-essential
bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker.

Power
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 2.0 Amps of power to operate. The unit turns on
automatically upon power application. See Power and Ground Wiring below for more
details.
Wiring Suggestions
Avoid routing video wiring parallel to:
AC wiring
Strobe wiring
DC motor supply cables
Inverter cabling
Or any other potential noise source
Composite Wiring
Recommended cable for 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.

Power and Ground Wiring
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, 1.5 amp equipment load 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.
1.5 Amp of current on .81 Ohms will drop 1.22 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 in order to install the
product in compliance with industry standards and safety.
