The FD102CV-C-7-L/R is a special mission military monitor. It consists of two separate
parts, the LCD monitor and the articulating arm.
Built with retrofit aircraft integration in mind, this display can switch between two video
input sources using the buttons on the bezel. Additional functions are added using the 8
bezel keys. These functions are generated by the mission computer.
The arm has 2 pivot points which enable it to have a range of rotation up to 180° at each
pivot point. This monitor also tilt forward and AFT 20° in either direction and can rotate
45 left and right.
The LCD features NVG technology which can be switched to Day or Night mode using
the rocker switch. The NVG LCD filters out infrared rays in the 1000nm range.

Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD102CV-C-7-L/R, 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 monitor should it
become necessary.
Power
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 1.0 Amps (28 Watts) of power.
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 1 amp of power to operate. To operate properly this
monitor requires an input voltage of 18-29VDC.
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. 1
Amp of current on .81 Ohms will drop .81 Volts.
Also, use short heavy gauge wire and a clean tight connection for ground.
It is the installer's responsibility to understand the product's requirements to install the
product in compliance with industry standards and safety.

Power Button
The FD102CV-C-7-L/R is continuously on but can be de-energized by removing power
from the system. No pilot or aircrew action is necessary during flight or ground operation.
The operator will be able to change the video input from the FD102CV-C-7-L/R using the
rocker switch on the LCD monitor.
When applying 28VDC power, the display will turn on and look for a valid input on the
last known source. If video is not displayed when power is applied, then increase the
backlight brightness using the Right Arrow on the 5 button keyboard as the first step in
troubleshooting.
Button Controls
Located at the bottom of the FD102CV-C-7-L/R are five buttons.
Operations for both switches and buttons are as follows:
Day/NVG – Rocker switch turns night vision on and off
½ - Rocker switch allows user to switch from one HDSDI input connection to the other.
