Page 3 of 34 General Information Front View The FD141CV-C-6 is a special mission 14 night vision/sunlight readable widescreen monitor. uilt with retrofit aircraft integration in mind, the display can switch between three video sources using the front button controls. The display includes a daylight/nvg rocker switch mounted on the front bezel. Additional functions can be added using the 8 bezel keys; 4-buttons on each side located on the front face of the bezel. These functions are generated by the mission computer via US connection through the circular 22-pin connector. Additional Information The FD141CV-C-6 utilizes a state of the art digital video decoding chipset for video input. The available video sources are HDSDI (High Definition SDI), VGA (Computer Video, such as a Moving Map) and Composite Video (Camera, Standard Definition DVD). The LCD is protected with a.060 non-glare Lexan lens to prevent scratching of the LCD, and to meet stringent FAA abrasive load criteria.

Page 5 of 34 Power This is a 28VDC monitor that requires 2.0 Amps of power to operate. The unit turns on automatically upon power application. See Power and Ground Wiring below for more details. Wiring Suggestions Avoid routing video wiring parallel to: AC wiring Strobe wiring DC motor supply cables Inverter cabling Or any other potential noise source Composite Wiring Recommended cable for 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 75Ohm 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.
Page 6 of 34 Power and Ground Wiring 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, 1.5 amp equipment load 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. Resistance of Wire Type M22759/16-** (** = Gauge) Gauge (AWG) OHMS/1000 24 26.20 22 16.20 20 9.88 16 4.81 12 2.02 10 1.26 8.701 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 in order to install the product in compliance with industry standards and safety.
