Revision B, May 2008
Installation Instructions
The FD200CPU-7 Ver P should be installed by a qualified avionics facility
and approved by local FAA representatives. As in the case of all cabin
entertainment equipment, the FD200CPU-7 Ver P 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 FD200CPU-7 Ver P is a small unit, weighing 2.2 lbs, and can be
mounted in a vertical or horizontal position. There are flanges on each side
which have slots where it is secured by #8 Machine screws.
Note: The FD200CPU-7/-8 must be mounted inside the pressure vessel of
the aircraft. In addition, when installing the unit, USB connections must be
accessible for software changes, troubleshooting, etc. If the FD200CPU-7/-
8 must be mounted behind the bulkhead, or other inaccessible location,
USB extension must allow easy access to two USB ports. (If a single
USB extension is used, a USB hub must be used to split into at least two
ports.)
Power
The FD200CPU-7/-8 requires 28VDC rated at 3 amps to function. The unit is
designed to initialize when power is applied with no user interaction required.
Software Updates
The software on the FD200CPU-7/-8 can be easily updated using a keyboard
and a USB thumbdrive, both which are provided with the optional
FDINSTALL. Software updates are available at no charge from Flight Display
Systems.
BIOS Settings
In some instances, changes to the BIOS of the FD200CPU-7/-8 must be
made to achieve the best results. If this is the case, Flight Display Systems
should be contacted for assistance.
Weather Upgrade
As an option, the Flight Display Moving Map can show XM NexRad data.
This requires having an antenna, data receiver, and an Aviator Lite
subscription from XM. If the aircraft uses XM data for any existing services,
such as XM radio or weather in the cockpit, then an additional antenna is not
required.
