  • Page 9: Device Connection And Testing

    II. Device Connection and Testing The Device requires no maintenance. When deciding where to install the Device, choose a dry mounting location. Avoid places where the Device can be flooded with water, this can damage it. The Device is directly connected to the network backbone without a drop cable. Before connecting the Device, turn off the bus power supply.
  • Page 10 The Device slot has a ‘push-push’ mechanism that works on a spring and ensures proper card fixation. Improper loading or unloading (withdrawing your finger to quickly or not waiting for the click) can result in the card being propelled out of the Device up to 5 meters. To avoid possible eye injury, loss of or damage to the card, and other hazards, insert and remove the card with caution.

  • Page 11: Choice Of Microsd Cards And Working With Cards

    III. Choice of MicroSD Cards and Working with Cards We ask that you to familiarize yourself closely with this section. By observing these simple rules, you can be confident that your data is saved and safe. MicroSD cards have a limited number of data rewrites, so do not use old cards. It is highly recommended not to use cards that have been used in mobile telephones.
  • Page 12 Winter storage of the card and Device can be on board the vessel. Note the temperature tolerance of the card – most have a range of -40 to +85° C, and a working temperature range of -25 to 85° C. The Recorder is sensitive to the response time and write time, so cards of MicroSD Class 10 or higher are recommended for use with the Device.
  • Page 13 During system shutdown, the Device tries to minimize the work with the file system, indicating the correct file size, but without releasing the cluster chain reserved for it. This behavior is correct, but some disc checkers will try to correct this by increasing the file size to the end of the cluster chain.

  • Page 14: Formatting Microsd Cards

    IV. Formatting MicroSD Cards The Recorder supports MicroSD memory cards of all sizes and classes, but has performance requirements for cards (see III.6-III.8). The MicroSD card must be formatted on a personal computer before use in the Recorder. The Recorder supports the following file systems: FAT (FAT12, FAT16, MS-DOS) and FAT32.

  • Page 15: Organization Of Files On The Card

    V. Organization of Files on the Card To store files, the Recorder creates folders named “YDVRdddd” in the root directory, where dddd is the serial number of the folder from 0001 to 9999. In the folder, the Recorder creates files named “ddddnnnn.DAT”, where dddd is the folder number where the file is stored, and nnnn is the file sequence number in the folder, from 0001 to 0300.
  • Page 16 as the Recorder will automatically delete the oldest recordings when more space is needed (see the description for the parameter DELETE=NO at VI.). We recommend that you use a separate memory card for the Recorder, and do not store other data on it. —...

  • Page 17: Configuration Of The Device (Ydvr.cfg File)

    VI. Configuration of the Device (YDVR.CFG File) The Device settings are defined in the optional YDVR.CFG text file, which must be located in the root folder of the MicroSD. Between the parameters and the values there should be no other characters except the equal sign.
  • Page 18 This setting is designed for covert installation. AIS=OFF Disable AIS messages in the data file. In areas of intense navigation, the majority of messages in the onboard network can come from AIS. DELETE=NO This prevents the Device from erasing files and rename folders on the MicroSD card. In this case, you need to keep track of the available space on the card (see V.).

  • Page 19: Processing Data On Computer

    VII. Processing Data on Computer To process the data, they must be copied or moved from the memory card to the computer in any convenient manner. If the operating system offers to execute a scan on the card, you should refuse this offer, unless you have specific reasons to do so (see III.9).

  • Page 20: Firmware Updates

    VIII. Firmware Updates In the root folder of the MicroSD card with FAT or FAT32 file system, copy YUPDATE.BIN, which contains the firmware update of the Recorder. Insert the card into the Device and turn on the power. From 5-15 seconds after powering on, the LED will light up and change color from green to red and back for 15 seconds.

    IX. Player mode This mode is intended for demonstration, emulation or testing of marine equipment. Use this mode at your own risk. This mode may affect operation of other equipment and possibly damage it. The player mode is activated by the key PLAYER=ON in the configuration file (see VI.) Note, that a card with a configuration file should be inserted before the power to the Device is turned on.
