INTRODUCTION

System Overview

1. The CabinVu 123 Door Surveillance System is intended to provide additional security for the Flight crew when
entry to the cockpit is necessary through the flight deck door during flight.
2. Three cameras monitor the area aft of and around the cockpit door and the surrounding corridors and galley
areas.
3. The Flight crew can select and view any of the three images displayed by the appropriate camera in order to
identify and confirm that the approaching personnel do not pose a potential threat before allowing them entry
onto the flight deck.
4. A video monitor (or monitors) can be installed in a central or Left and Right positions enabling both Flight
crew to view the display equally, Control Panels are positioned in close proximity to the monitors.
5. Infra Red illuminators integral to the cameras provide adequate light to distinguish and determine the would be
entrant in darkened conditions.
6. All control and manual switching is done on the Control Panel only, other operational equipment is
fitted at various locations throughout the aircraft, these will be described at a later stage of this Ops
Manual.

Description

Locations are typical, for exact positions reference must be made to the Modification/Installation Kit for the
particular aircraft type.

FV-0410. Monochrome Camera. (Three)

FV-0835 Monitor (a second monitor may be fitted as an option)

A single monitor is normally fitted into the centre pedestal area for optimum viewing by flight crew.
N.B. When two monitors are used, these would normally be fitted to the Port and Starboard sides of the
flight deck.

FV-1050 Control Panel (a second Control Panel may be fitted as an option)

A single control panel is fitted within easy reach of flight crew, normally in the centre pedestal area of the
flight deck.
N.B. When two control panels are used they would typically be fitted to the Port and Starboard sides of
the cockpit in close proximity to the relevant monitors. The second Control Panel can be used independently
of the other, each allowing flight crew to view different Camera images. All control functions are the same as the
single system with the exception that if either power ON/STBY/OFF Switch is placed in the OFF position the
complete CDSS will be turned OFF.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

General

This section of the manual provides operating instructions only, for technical information see the relevant CMM
(Component Maintenance Manual) for individual units.

Company Security Procedures will take precedence over these instructions.

There are no ‘Pass Codes’ or ‘Passwords’ to operate or initiate the CDSS.

Adjustments are limited to external controls of the Brightness and Contrast knobs.

CAMERA Selection Switch

Power OFF/STBY/ON Switch BRIGHTNESS (BRT) Control CONTRAST Control

N.B THE OFF/STBY/ON SWITCH HAS A SPRING LOADED TOGGLE WHICH WILL LOCK AT THE
SELECTED POSITION, THIS IS NOT THE SAME OPERATION AS THE CAMERA SELECT
SWITCH!.

SINGLE MONITOR SYSTEM

Operation
Confirm that the CB (Circuit Breaker) labelled ‘FLIGHTVU SYSTEM’ on the 28v dc Non-essential bus is ‘SET’.
Confirm that the relevant cockpit lighting CBs are ‘SET’.
Ensure all overhead lighting in specific areas switched ON
Remove any obstructions from the camera housing.

Bright ambient conditions

Switch the Power ON/STBY/OFF Switch to the ‘ON’ position BY LIFTING THE TOGGLE BEFORE
ACTUATION.

N.B THE OFF/STBY/ON SWITCH HAS A SPRING LOADED TOGGLE WHICH WILL LOCK AT THE
SELECTED POSITION, THIS IS NOT THE SAME OPERATION AS THE CAMERA SELECT
SWITCH!.

System Title will be displayed, ”AD Aerospace Ltd CabinVu 123”, after approximately 5 seconds the image from
the LEFT Camera will be displayed on the Monitor, (LEFT Camera image is the Default). The OSD (On Screen
Display) in the bottom right hand corner of the screen will show the text LEFT.
Verify that the image displayed is indeed the surrounding area around the left PAX door and the rear of the cockpit
door corridor
Observe the monitor.
On the FV-1050 Control Panel turn the Brightness control fully anticlockwise. The Brightness of the monitor
will be reduced to a dim glow.
Turn the Brightness control fully clockwise. The Brightness of the monitor will be increased to a “white out”
picture.
Ensure that adjustment is available across the entire travel of the control pot
On the FV-1050 Control Panel turn the Contrast control fully anticlockwise. The Contrast of the monitor will be
reduced to a mid grey picture.
Turn the Contrast control fully clockwise. The Contrast of the monitor will be increased to give a very crisp
picture.
Ensure that adjustment is available across the entire travel of the control pot.
Having set the optimum Brightness and Contrast control have someone furtively conceal themselves in the area
covered by the camera (Left) to ascertain visual security.

Press the Camera Select Switch to the up position (Camera +) once more, verify that the image displayed is
indeed the rear of the cockpit door and surrounding area, most importantly ascertain that it is possible to distinguish
if the personnel trying to gain entry to the flight deck are not under any duress. Depending on Company Procedure
it should be possible to distinguish facial features. Check that the OSD (On Screen Display) in the bottom right
hand corner of the Monitor (FV-0835) indicates the text ‘DOOR’.
Carry out the Brightness and Contrast adjustments as above.

Press the Camera Select Switch to the up position (Camera +) once, verify that the image displayed is indeed the
surrounding area around the Right Service door area, also check that the OSD (On Screen Display) in the bottom
right hand corner of the Monitor (FV-0835) indicates the text ‘RIGHT’.
Carry out the Brightness and Contrast adjustments as above.

Pressing the Camera Select Switch towards ‘Camera +’ will select camera images from LEFT, DOOR and
RIGHT in sequence. Pressing the Camera Select Switch towards ‘Camera -’ will select camera images from
RIGHT, DOOR and LEFT in sequence.

Selecting Standby (STBY) by lifting the Toggle before actuation will switch the Monitor Off although the system
will still have power connected.
N.B. Switching the system ON from Standby by lifting the Toggle before actuation will display the Camera image
that was last displayed on the Monitor.

Darkened Conditions.
Carry out all the above operations in Darkened conditions i.e. limited light. The I/R illuminators are continually
operative when the Power ON/STBY/OFF Switch is in the ON or STBY position.
Select all three camera positions in turn to ascertain quality of displayed images and adjust Brightness and Contrast
controls as necessary to compensate for the varying light conditions.

Lightplate illumination
Background and knob lighting of the Control Panel (FV-1050) is independently controlled by the cockpit lighting
systems and controls.

DUAL MONITOR SYSTEM

The CabinVu 123 system is capable of being adapted to a second monitor and control panel which can be used
independently allowing flight crew to view different Camera images. All control functions are the same as the
single system with the exception that if either power ON/STBY/OFF Switch is placed in the OFF position the
complete system will be turned OFF.
