General Information
The FD201CV-C-1 is a special mission which has features that allow installation in a
standard rack mount configuration. There are 16 (sixteen) line interface buttons that
interface with the mission computer.
Front View
Additional Information
The FD201CV-C-1 utilizes a state of the art digital video decoding chipset for the analog
video input. Two video sources are activated: the VGA (computer graphics i.e. moving
maps) and composite video (i.e. camera inputs).
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.
The high-definition monitor also features dual USB 2.0 powered ports to allow for quick
and easy access to files via thumb drive. Each port supplies up to 500ma to power
external devices. It also has 16 buttons which can be programmed to meet the operator’s
needs.

circuit breaker. It is a requirement that a switch be installed in the cockpit so that the pilot
can de-energize the system should it become necessary.
Power
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 2.2 Amps of power to operate. The unit turns on
automatically upon power application.

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.
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
20 AWG wire is recommended for Power and Ground applications.
