This manual describes how to install the Rosen 10.4” display on manual lift onto your aircraft. It
contains everything you need to know to wire the display and confirm that it is functioning
correctly.
Note: Only trained and qualified personnel should perform installation and service.
1.1. Product Information
The following documentation for the 10.4” display on manual lift specific to each display/video
combination is available on the Rosen web site at www.rosenaviation.com.
Outline and Installation Drawings, 10.4” manual lift
1043-229 or 1043-329 display on manual lift
Technical Manual –(P/N 101844)
User’s Guide 10.4” Display on Manual Lift –(P/N 101845)
From the Rosen Aviation home page, select the Products tab and browse by product category.
2. DISPLAY CONNECTIONS
There are several ways to connect the 10.4 display on manual lift to an aircraft’s entertainment
system.
Use the pinout descriptions on page 2 of the Outline and Installation drawing to assist in the wiring
process. Pay close attention to the pinout information while completing wiring connections.
The 10.4 display on manual lift is available in two different configurations depending on the video
source that you install.
Composite –model 1043-229
SDI (serial digital interface) –model 1043-329

2.1. System Integration
The 10.4” display on a manual lift has one video source and it is typically the only monitor in the
cabin, as shown in the following connection diagram.
Figure 1 Single video input installation
These displays are typically connected to a video distribution unit, which provides a single
composite video signal to each monitor. The video distribution box performs the source
selection.
3. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
To access the bottom mounting plate, use the latch to raise the display, as shown below. Secure
the lift assembly from the bottom mounting plate with eight 10-32 flat head screws. Refer to page 2
of the outline and installation drawing for details.
3.1. Raising and Lowering the Manual Lift
Use CAUTION when stowing or deploying lift. The spring lift is under pressure and could
seriously injure hands/fingers if caught in mechanism during operation.
Figure 2 Manual lift assembly in stowed position
To raise the display, pull

The monitor can pivot 180° and tilt back 30°. When lowering the display, align the screen with
the lift assembly and then push down firmly on the right corner until the latch locks.
The default power setting is Auto On, which means the power turns on and off automatically
when you raise and lower the lift.

Table 1 10.4 display on manual lift front panel buttons
Button
How it Works
Power On/Off
Turns the power on and off to the display. The LED indicator is red when the
power is off, and green when the power is on. Previously adjusted settings of
brightness and scaling mode are retained in memory when power is turned off,
or when aircraft power is removed.
Menu
Opens a submenu of options to access other settings and fine-tune the
display’s picture quality. For details about the on-screen menus, see On-
Screen Menus in Section 4.2 on page 10.
Contrast
Adjusts the LCD contrast. See Contrast in Section 4.1.4 on page 10 for details.
Brightness
Adjusts the picture brightness. If the button is held down for more than one
second the brightness will continue to step up or down in ¼–second intervals.
For more information, see Brightness in Section 4.1.3 on page 9for details.
Aspect Ratio
(Composite only)
Two aspect ratio modes: Normal and Vertical Stretch change the proportions
of the composite picture depending on the DVD format. On SDI displays, this
button is for navigational purposes only. See Aspect Ratio in Section 4.1.2 on
page 8for details.
Source Select
Functions only as a secondary soft key for navigation in the on-screen menus.
If pressing Source Select changes the picture to a black screen, set the
Source Select Button Mode to External Select. See Source Select Button
Mode in Section 4.3.3 on page 18 for details.
4.1. Navigational Soft Keys
The icons on the display buttons indicate basic functions. In addition to the basic functions, the
buttons act as soft keys that perform secondary navigational functions to adjust picture quality in
setting screens and the on-screen menus. When you press a button and see a bar of blue soft
keys, as shown below, press the corresponding display button.
Figure 5 Soft key buttons
Selected options will be highlighted in yellow. The menu options that are available depend on the
configuration and which source signal is active: composite or SDI.
Note: Before changing the display settings, try both default color modes first to determine which
set of colors you like best. See Restore Factory Defaults in Section 4.2.2.1 on page 13 for more
information.
