14 GENERAL AND CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

The VDR-100G3 is designed to require a very little maintenance. However, the VDR and its
peripheral devices should undergo a regular inspection to verify all connections are intact. If
necessary, a few general maintenance tasks may be required.
14.1

General Inspection Procedures

1. It is necessary to inspect the VDR-100G3 and all of its peripheral devices. This includes:
Data Processing Unit (DPU);
Data Acquisition Unit (DAU – if applicable);l the
Operation and Alarm Unit (OAU);
Remote Storage Module (RSM - if applicable) and Interfaces (if applicable); and
Microphones.
2. On first inspection, the DPU should be locked to prevent tampering. Once the DPU is
opened, the following items will indicate normal system operation:
The Data Management Module (DMM) is operational and LAN port LEDs blinking;
All LAN, serial, and power cables are firmly attached to the DMM;
Battery wires are firmly attached to the battery terminals;
All circuit breakers with load are in the closed position; and
DPU fan is working. The air filter should be inspected and replaced if necessary.
3. Take out the six screws attaching the DAU cover and remove it. Inside the unit:
The Audio, Video, and NMEA modules (and the Hub) should have power and blinking
LEDs to indicate data processing;
All modules should be firmly attached to the DAU DIN-Rail; and
All cables should be firmly attached.
(If the DAU is not installed then the Audio and NMEA modules—and the Video Module if
installed—should be firmly mounted, have all cables securely attached and have power and
blinking LEDs to indicate data processing.
4. The OAU should have no alarms, and should show "Status: Clear".
Run a test to verify that the display, LED, and buzzer function normally
press the OAU's "TEST" button, then
o
after verification, press the "CANCEL" button.
o
(For alarm code descriptions, refer to Section 14.2.1 - Alarm Code Description.)
5. The RSM and Interfaces (if applicable):
Should be firmly mounted;
All cables must be securely attached; and
LEDs should be blinking.
6. All Microphones should be securely attached and functional.
