General Information
The FD151CMT is a 15.1" LCD and Ceiling Mount. The high resolution LCD is perfect for cabin video and graphical entertainment, and has features that allow installation in the smallest of mounting areas with the minimum of interface equipment.
Front View
Additional Information
The FD151CMT is very rugged with the mounting structure and the internal pivot parts manufactured from milled aluminium. The ceiling mounting frame is mounted in the aircraft where it will provide optimum viewing enjoyment by the passengers, resulting in a smooth shape that houses the LCD and blends into the cabin headliner.
Deployment is via a mechanical latch at the font of the unit. Sliding the latch releases the. To stow the display the operator would push the display up to the ceiling position where a positive latch occurs.

Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD151CMT, 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.
The order in which you proceed is up to the installation center. We suggest that you first look at the mounting plate prior to installing the LCD to make sure you have the proper room and conditions in the aircraft to mount the display to the ceiling. Most aircraft have a significant curvature in the headliner and it will probably be necessary to modify the headliner to mount to a structure that will hold this mount.
Once it has been determined that you have sufficient room and mounting locations for the FD151CMT, then it would be appropriate to start mounting the base to the frame. The FD151CMT is attached to the aircraft with eight #10 screws. There are eight attach points on the top plate.
There is one DB-15 male connector on a 12” cable coming from the LCD, used for power, VGA, and two composite inputs.

Power
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 1.5 Amps to operate. requirements to install the product in compliance with industry standards and safety.
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
S-Video/Composite and Audio Wiring
Recommended cable for s-video/composite and audio purposes is PIC 75 Ohm Coax, P/N V76261. This is a lightweight, flexible, and low signal loss cable which meets FAA flammability requirements of FAR 23.1359(d), FAR 25.853(a) and FAR 25.869(a)(4).
Similar aviation coaxial cable can be used from other vendors, as well. Some aircraft are prone to AC noise - we recommend adding to the composite source a
75 Ohm video isolation transformer such as Deerfield Laboratory, Inc. Part No. 162-1 (www.deerfieldlab.com, (650) 632-4090). In most cases this should be added to the video output of the source.

VGA Wiring
Recommended cable for VGA purpose is ECS P/N 453005. This is a single shielded cable containing 5 separate coaxial cables, color-coded to match the functions of the wires.
We recommend coax cables be terminated using solder sleeve coaxial cable terminators such as Raychem Part Number CWT-4174-W122-5/9.

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 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. 1.5 Amps of current on .81 Ohms will drop 1.22 Volts.
