Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD171DMT ver HDSDI-CAN, should
be installed on a non-essential bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker.
The FD171DMT ver HDSDI-CAN is integrated with a rugged mounting bracket.
Usually the FD171DMT ver HDSDI-CAN is mounted inside a bulkhead divider. The
monitor locks into place when stowed. The FD171DMT ver HDSDI-CAN is secured
with four to ten #10 machine screws. Please be sure to inspect the mounting bracket
for the correct number of holes before pre-drilling.

Power and Ground Wiring
This is a 28 VDC monitor that requires 1.3 Amp of power to operate. To operate
properly this monitor requires an input voltage of 18-29 VDC.
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 28 VDC 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. 1.3 Amp of current on .81 Ohms will drop 1.06 Volts.

Operation Instructions
When deployed, the FD171DMT ver HDSDI-CAN 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. It is necessary to stow the
display during take-off and landing. While stowed the monitor is powered off via a
micro-switch within the monitor enclosure.
Point the IR remote at the top of the LCD to make changes.
When applying 28 VDC 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.

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
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.
•Check to make sure the batteries are installed properly.
