– FD171CV VER HD 

 

RS-485 Network: 

If there is more than one monitor connected to the aircraft’s RS-485 controller system, then 
it is strongly recommended to connect the system in series, or daisy-chain, and terminate 
the twisted pairs with a 120 OHM resistor.  This configuration improves the reliability of the 
system.    

 

It is highly recommended to use 22 AWG twisted pairs for runs longer than 20 feet. 
Connect all RS-485A pins together, all RS-485B pins together. 

 

                  

 

 

Operation Instructions 

 

The FD171CV VER HD is continuously on but can be de-energized by removing power 
from the entertainment system. No pilot or aircrew action is necessary during flight or 
ground operation. 

The passengers will be able to change the video output from the FD171CV VER HD using 
the video source select button on the display, or remotely throughout the cabin with the 
included IR remote. Point the IR remote at the top of the LCD to make changes. 

When applying 28VDC power, the display will turn on and look for a valid input on the last 
known source. If no input is found, the display will go to standby mode. Pressing the Select 
button will select new video input.
