1. MOUNTING
• Do not bend the cable base of the float-free DRU. Also, do not damage the cable.
• Do not bend and/or twist the cable excessively to secure the cable. Ensure a mini-
mum bend radius of 80 mm.
Note: The IMO obliges that VDR-equipped ships must carry a float-free DRU. The fol-
lowing is an excerpt from the regulation. Observe the following location/installation
conditions.
• The float-free DRU must be installed in the vicinity of the navigation bridge, i.e. on
the wings of the navigation bridge. Access via vertical ladder should not be accept-
ed. A location on the top of the wheelhouse may be accepted to fulfill the require-
ment if accessible by stairs.
