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.

Operation Instructions
The FD141CV-TS-HDSDI 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 FD141CV-TS-HDSDI
using the video source select button on the display.
When applying 28V DC 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 at the right of the FD141CV-TS-HDSDI are 8 buttons. Their functions are shown
below as well as labelled on the left side of the monitor.

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.
