1. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to install the Rosen 2401 series Widescreen Display onto your aircraft.
It contains everything you need to know to wire the display and confirm that it is functioning
correctly.
Note that installation and service should be performed only by trained and qualified personnel.
1.1. Product Information
The following documentation for the 2401 series is available on the Rosen web site at
www.rosenaviation.com.
Outline and Installation Drawings
Technical Manuals
User’s Guide
Optional Controllers (sold separately):
External 7-button serial controller (P/N 0300-408)
Universal color display remote (P/N 0500-015)
From the Rosen Aviation home page, select the Products tab and browse by product category.
2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Mounting options for this display are shown in the following figures:
Mount using all side mounting holes, or
Mount using all top and bottom mounting holes (do not block vent holes)
2.1. Cooling and Ventilation
The monitor is cooled by the flow of air or forced convection. Cooling fans are automatically
regulated per an internal temperature sensor to provide forced convection cooling. You must
take special care with the installation to provide a proper environment for airflow.
Keep all vent holes unobstructed to allow the unit to run cooler. If the display must be sealed in a
bulkhead, gasper air cooling is recommended below the monitor to prevent over temperature
operating issues. In cases where no gasper air is available, provide for intake (below monitor)
and exhaust venting (above monitor) to cabin. A minimum of 1 ft3of volumetric air space is also
recommended inside the bulkhead.
Monitor vents: The monitor has vent openings on the top, bottom,
back and side surfaces. For best thermal performance, ensure
that all vent holes are unobstructed to allow free airflow.

Note: The monitor backlight will shut down if the internal temperature reaches 156° F [69° C]. It
will not come back on until the temperature drops 3 degrees below the threshold.
Note: Each mounting hole includes a #10-32 screw. To install the monitor, remove only the
screws that will be used to install the monitor. Do not remove the smaller #4-40 flathead screws.
Figure 1 Exterior vents for bulkhead mounts
There must be cutouts over vent holes. (Dimensions shown in Figure 2 are in inches.)
Warning!
!
Maximum screw penetration depth allowed:
Top .50 inches
Bottom .50 inches
Sides .50 inches

Figure 2 Dimensional requirements
2.1.1. Fans
Cooling fans are located near vents in the case. The fans react to an internal temperature
sensor, turning on or off as temperature dictates.
Note: When the internal temperature reaches 90° F [32° C], the fans turn on and remain
on until temperature drops to 87° F [31° C].
Note: To avoid product damage, the display will shut off automatically if internal
temperature exceeds 156° F [69° C]; the unit remains off until cooled to 153° F [66° C].
Note: Through use of an air pressure sensor, at the equivalent of 20,000 ft, the backlight
automatically shuts off.

Pin 6
Low Voltage TTL. When video switching mode is set to constant mode, Pin 6 acts
as a toggle switch. In other words, when the switch is closed you get one source,
when it is open you get another source (depending on what you set up in the
menu).
In Use Available Mode and Manual Mode, Pin 6 acts the same as the Source
button on the IR remote; in Auto-detect Mode, it has no effect.

page. Select ProductsAccessoriesExt. Controllers and
scroll down to find the external controller for the 24‖ Widescreen.
RS-232 7-Button Controller (P/N 0300-408): Navigation in the Technician Menu and
video settings icon bar is slightly different with the 7-Button Controller from the IR
remotes. When you are in the menus, the Source button also serves as the Enter key,
and the left and right buttons replace the ◄and ►arrow keys. The other buttons
function the same way to switch sources and access the setup menus.
RS-485: The Rosen 2401 can be controlled with RS-485. For specifications, see
Section 4, RS-485 Information.

IR Remote: The Rosen 2401 can also be controlled using Rosen Aviation’s IR Remote.
The Rosen 2401 IR receiver uses NEC style 32-bit encoding. In this encoding format,
there are 16 bits of actual information transmitted as part of a 32-bit frame. The 16 bits of
information is divided into two parts, the first part being an 8-bit device code, and the 2nd
part being an 8-bit function code. Each 8-bit portion of the transmitted code is followed by
the same code with each bit inverted. Most IR remotes using this format will have the
same device code for each button on the remote, and a unique function code for each
button. Listed below are the default codes in hexadecimal format used with the Rosen
2401.

4. RS-485 INFORMATION
This section defines the type, formats and timing of serial message packets that can be used to
control the 2401 display through a daisy-chained RS-485 serial connection. All RS-485-enabled
Rosen Aviation displays and other Rosen Aviation equipment will fully implement the applicable
messages in this document. A maximum of 31 devices may be connected on a half-duplex
network. Each device should be assigned a unique address from 1 to 31.
The Rosen 2401 is set to address 31 by default.
Please note that Rosen Aviation equipment is not specifically designed to operate as part of a
network with other manufacturers’ equipment unless the other equipment meets the requirements
defined in this document.
4.1. Communication Protocol
9600 Baud
8 data bits
1 stop bit
no parity
4.2. Packet Format
There are typically three bytes per message. The first byte is a header byte and the second
identifies the specific command. The third byte is the network address. A network address byte
of 0 is reserved as the ―global‖ address, in other words all slave units should respond to that
command.
4.3. Packet Timing
Within a message packet, there is a maximum time of 20mSec between bytes. Messages with
bytes sent more than 20mSec apart will not be recognized by the receiving unit.
There should be a minimum elapsed time of 50mSec between any 2-message packets. This
allows the given processor sufficient time to process the previous message.
Messages sent less than 50mSec apart are not guaranteed to be processed by the receiving
unit.
4.4. Wiring
Rosen Aviation equipment uses a half-duplex wiring layout. Only two RS-485 wires need to be
run between each individual unit. On most products, the RS-485 wires have been internally
daisy-chained so that four external pins exist on the connector.
