General Information
The FD70CMT-M is the latest version of our popular 7" Widescreen LCD and Ceiling Mount, used to deploy our popular 7” Widescreen LCD. The all metal case is designed with a narrow footprint. It is easily mounted to the ceiling or between the Passenger Service Units in the smallest aircraft or helicopter.
Front View
Additional Information
The FD70CMT-M features constant torque friction hinges which enable the user to position the LCD at various locations when deployed. This is especially helpful when there may be glare, sunlight, or a bad viewing angle. Repositioning the LCD to a more comfortable viewing position makes this unit popular with all passengers.

Installation Instructions
All cabin entertainment equipment, such as the FD70CMT-M, 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 centre. 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 FD70CMT-M, then it would be appropriate to start mounting the base to the frame. The FD70CMT-M is attached to the aircraft with four #8 socket head cap screws. There are four attach points on the ceiling mounting plate.
There is one DB15 connector on a 16” cable coming from the LCD, used for power, VGA and two composite inputs.

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.
The individual wires should be extended with 6” 22awg wires using an environmental splice for the red & green wires, and Raychem caps for the blue, white, and black wires.
Power and Ground Wiring
22 AWG wire is recommended for Power and Ground applications.
