Installation Instructions
All cabin equipment, such as the FD171CV-C-4, 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 flight crew can de-energize the system should it become necessary.
There are (8) 8-32 UNC mounting holes located on the sides and back of the display. Four
mounting points are located on the rear and two on each side of the bezel. See installation
drawing at end of manual for dimensional details.
Power
This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 2.0 Amps of maximum continuous steady-state
power to operate. The unit turns on automatically upon power application.

Wiring Suggestions
For balanced signals on twisted pair cable, 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.
Composite and S-Video Wiring
Recommended cable for s-video 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.
