General Information
The FD201CV-LP is a 20.1" Low-Profile LCD which has features that allow installation in
the smallest of mounting areas with the minimum of interface equipment. Built with retrofit
aircraft integration in mind, this display can switch between three video input sources using
an infrared remote.
Front View
Additional Information
The FD201CV-LP utilizes a state of the art digital video decoding chipset for the analog
video input. The three video sources in order of picture quality are VGA (computer
graphics like moving maps), S-Video and Composite Video (DVD, camera or VCR). Both
NTSC and PAL formats are auto-detected.
The FD201CV-LP can also be connected to existing video switchers and just take a
composite video input from a selector interface box. In this case multiple input sources
can be selected and displayed on the monitor. The IR remote would only be used to set
up the screen during installation.
The LCD is protected with a .060” Lexan lens to prevent scratching of the LCD.

Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD201CV-LP, 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.
In order to install the unit, (4) 4-40 black oxide screws must be removed (2 on each side).
Lift off the front cover to access 6 thru-hole standoffs which require 6-#10 pan head
machine screws for mounting. An alternate method for mounting the unit is to use the 8-32
fasteners (2 on each side) to attach 90 mounting angles (not included) to the sides of the
monitor, then attach to the bulkhead. **It may be necessary to cut the “WARRANTY VOID”
sticker to install the unit. **
When installed, at least ¼” gap should be maintained along the top and along the bottom
of the unit to allow for convection cooling.
Power
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 2.5 Amps of power to operate. The unit turns on
automatically upon power application.

Remote Eye
The FD201CV-LP has a relocatable IR sensor, to maximize sensor visibility throughout the
cabin. For example, an FD201CV-LP mounted on the right side of the bulkhead, may have
its sensor located on the left side of the unit.
Changing the location of the IR sensor does not invalidate the warranty; for technical
support or assistance, please call us at 678-867-6717.
To relocate the IR sensor, remove the four 4-40x¼” black oxide screws from the front
plate, and lift the plate off. The IR sensor can then be rerouted to the appropriate side, and
the front cover replaced.
(Note: Ensure that the bottom of the IR sensor aligns with the top edge of the screen, as shown in the image
on the right.)

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 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.

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.
Coax cables should be terminated using solder sleeve coaxial cable terminators, Raychem

Power and Ground Wiring
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 3 amps of power to operate. To operate properly this
monitor requires an input voltage of 24-29VDC.
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.

Operation Instructions
The FD201CV-LP is continuously on but can be de-energized by removing power from the
entertainment system. No pilot or aircrew action is necessary during flight or ground
operation.
The passengers will be able to change the video output from the FD201CV-LP using the
video source select button on the display, or remotely throughout the cabin with the
included IR remote. Point the IR remote at the top of the LCD to make changes.
When applying 28VDC power, the display will turn on and look for a valid input on the last
known source. If no input is found, the display will go to standby mode. Pressing the Select
button will select new video input.
Button Controls
Located on the bottom of the FD201CV-LP are 8 buttons.
From right to left (edge inwards), the functions are as follows:

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 batteries in remote control.
