  • Page 8: Foreword

    The basic VR-3000/VR-3000S consists of a Data Collecting Unit (DCU), a Data Recording Unit (DRU), a Remote Alarm Panel (RAP) and microphones to record bridge audio. The VR-3000 is also equipped with a Junction Box (JB), which is optional on the VR-3000S. The DCU contains the Data Processor Unit, interface modules and backup batteries.
