Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD141CV-TS-HDSDI, 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.
To install the unit, (4) mounting locations are at the front corners of the unit. Four #10
socket-head screws (not supplied) are needed to secure the unit to the mounting surface.
It is strongly recommended that all four mounting locations be used. When installed, at
least ¼” gap should be maintained along the left and right sides and rear of the unit to
allow for convection cooling.
Power
This is a 28V DC monitor that requires 1.5 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.

Power and Ground Wiring
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 1.5 amps of power to operate. To operate properly
this monitor requires an input voltage of 28VDC.
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.
3 Amps of current on .81 Ohms will drop 2.43 Volts.

product in compliance with industry standards and safety.
