Mounting against the bulkhead or on a bracket: The unit can be mounted internal,
external, or partially internal to the bulkhead. It is recommended that you leave about ¼
inch of space around the rear, top and bottom of the display for the exhaust fan to have
circulating air. When mounting from inside the bulkhead it is possible to have only the LCD
visible to the cabin. The unit will come on automatically upon power application and if using
an external video source selection box, the IR is not needed. If you are using the IR to
change the video source selection then you need to have the IR LED visible to the cabin.
Rear Connector Orientation –The rear connector of this monitor can be mounted
horizontally (connector perpendicular to rear of monitor) or vertically (connector
perpendicular to bottom of monitor) in order to give you the most convenient mounting
options. By default, this monitor's connector ships in the rear/horizontal position. Flight
Display Systems will ship the unit with the optional bottom/vertical mounting connector
configuration if specified at the time of order; contact your local sales representative for
assistance. It is possible to change the connector orientation at the time of installation.
For instructions on how to change the connector orientation please call Flight Display
Systems at [phone] and ask for Technical Support.

Power
This is a 28V DC monitor that requires 3.0 Amps (84 watts) of power.
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/Component 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 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.

RS-485 Network:
If there is more than one monitor connected to the aircraft’s RS-485 controller system, it is
strongly recommended to connect the system in series, or daisy-chain, and terminate the
twisted pairs with a 120 OHM resistor. This configuration improves the reliability of the
system.
It is highly recommended to use 22 AWG twisted pairs for runs longer than 20 feet.
Connect all RS-485A pins together, all RS-485B pins together.
HD-SDI
HD-SDI Input & HD-SDI Output are panel mounted BNC receptacles that mate with
standard BNC plugs (Amphenol P/N 31-242 supplied).

Troubleshooting
Video Noise
Check for an incorrect ground in the installation wiring. See specific examples of video
noise below, or visit http://flightdisplay.com/Grounding.pdf
VGA Shadowing
Most of shadowing problems are due to shielding on the wire. Locate the point where all of
the shields are connected. Cut away the shields, one at a time, while viewing the display on
the screen to observe which shield is causing the noise. Cutting away one shield at a time
will allow you to focus and isolate the video noise issue.
Twisted pair wiring is prone to video noise. ECS VGA Wire
(Detailed under “Video Wiring Suggestions”) is recommended.
Snow or Sweeping Lines
Lines that slowly sweep up and down are a result of AC noise. This AC noise can be
generated by a power cart on the aircraft. Take the power cart off of the aircraft. Be careful
of inverter wiring, which can also cause noise. Stand off the wires, if necessary.
If snow or sweeping lines persist, it is possible that the ground is at an incorrect point in the
aircraft. Try moving the ground to another location.
No power to Monitor, or No video Input
• Verify correct wiring. Check the base receptacle connectors for possibly damaged pins.
• Check that the video source is:
1. Powered on,
2. In Play mode, and
3. Displaying video.
Color Distortion
• Adjust brightness and contrast settings using the buttons on the monitor.
Remote Control Inoperable
• Confirm that the infrared eye on the LCD screen is visible.
• Replace battery in remote control.
