requirements for the environmental qualification categories of IEC 60945, and the survivability
requirements of IEC 61996.2.and the MSC.163(78) performance standards
The L3 HVR/SVR Fixed FRM/SFRM Capsules are designed specifically for the Voyage Data
Recorder (VDR) and Simplified Voyage Data Recorder (S-VDR) as required IEC 61996.2.and the
MSC.163(78) performance standards and includes an expandable 2 GB solid state memory with

Planning for the SVR-02 Fixed SFRM Capsule

The FRM/SFRM is supplied with an interconnect cable. This cable must connect to the VDR-
100G3/S through a junction box (not provided with VDR-100G3/S). The junction box must be
shielded and connected to the hull of the vessel. The junction box is normally mounted on the
exterior deck and located near the SFRM and positioned within range of the interconnect cable.
All hull penetrations for cables must be fitted with waterproof glands (not provided with VDR-
100G3/S).
The L3 HVR/SVR Fixed FRM/SFRM Capsule setup is the same regardless of whether it is set up
as single or dual mode FRM.
NOTE! Prior to beginning the set-up of a L3 HVR/SVR Fixed FRM/SFRM
Capsule, it is necessary to determine if the unit's series and type: HVR-02, or
SVR-03.

L3 HVR/SVR Fixed FRM/SFRM Capsule Partitions Overview

Due to changes made by the manufacturer, there are two available L3 FRM capsule types
including the HVR series and the SVR series:
1. L3 HVR-02 Fixed FRM Capsule
2. L3 SVR-03 Fixed SFRM Capsule
NOTE: The SVR-03 and HVR-02 are physically distinct, but share the same setup
processes. The planning, mounting configuring, recording and testing for all L3
Fixed FRM/SFRM capsules follows exactly the same procedure regardless of
whether the capsule being installed is an FRM or an SFRM..
The table below is provided to clarify the set-up information for the different L3 capsules which
may be encountered during an installation. The numbers provided below indicate the values
applicable to the different L3 capsules:
Version Total Granules
HVR-02 15990
SVR-03 15990
NOTE: A granule is a logical unit of file storage on an L3 FRM/SFRM Capsule.The total
number of granules added to the 'Granules' fields cannot exceed the 'Partitioning
Granules in Crash Module' (listed at the top of the form).
