Additional Information
The LCD is protected with a .060” non-glare Lexan lens to prevent scratching of the LCD,
and to meet stringent FAA abusive load criteria.
All cabin equipment, such as the FD141CV-C-3, should be installed on a non-essential
bus and have a dedicated circuit breaker.
The FD141CV-C-3 is designed to mount onto a ruggedized articulating arm or into a
standard electronics rack using (2) 10-32 Machine screws. See installation drawing on
page 18 for measurement details.
When mounting onto the FDS Avionics Corp.’ FDARM-ML-LG, follow the installation
instructions within that manual. The ruggedized industrial arm shown with this unit has
the capability to configure viewing from either the pilot or the co-pilot. Instructions for
making that quick adjustment are also found in the FDARM-ML-LG Manual.
Power
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 1.5 Amps of power to operate. The unit turns on
automatically upon power application. Wiring Suggestions
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 1.5 amps of power to operate. To operate properly this
monitor requires an input voltage of 24-29VDC.
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.
1.5 Amp of current on .81 Ohms will drop 1.22 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.
