Installation Instructions
Use (6) 8-32 Machine screws. See the technical drawing on page 13 for mounting locations
and details.
All cabin equipment, such as the FD215CV-C-TS(-1), 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 system should it become necessary.
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.

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.
VGA Wiring
The FD215CV-C-TS(-1) uses standard VGA cables for input.
