    2 h from backup batteries. Continuity of storing data The VR-5000 should be provided with power to store data for 12 h on first-in, first-out basis. Recording is only terminated with a key under the following circumstances: a) During essential maintenance while the vessel is in port.
  • Page 13 non-halogen Firewire cable or IEEE1394. Data Collecting Unit The Data Collecting Unit (DCU) mainly consists of Data Processor Unit, Power Distribution Unit and Junction Box. The DCU includes two 12 V backup batteries with a lifetime of approximately four years. The DCU collects the data from various sensors and radar and records them in the flash memory in the capsule (final recording medium).
  • Page 14 The microphones are labelled Mic1, Mic2, etc. Microphone captures conversation in the bridge, audio signals from equipment and sound from machinery. The microphone generates a test beep every 12 hours which is also recorded. The microphone picks up audio signals ranging from 150 to 6000 Hz. Communications audio A maximum of two VHF communications are recorded for both transmitted and received audio signals.
  • Page 15 Watertight and fire door status The DCU obtains the IMO mandatory watertight and fire door status signals. The inputs, digital or RS-422 serial data are recorded individually with time stamps. Serial data sentence XDR is received at a data rate of 1,200-9,600 baud. Acceleration and hull stresses The DCU obtains signals from appropriate hull stress and response monitoring devices.

  • Page 16: Operating Procedure

    1.2 OPERATING PROCEDURE The VDR comes with three keys for the protection against any unauthorized access. The key must be kept securely after installation. Three keys are used; 1) To open the front door of the Data Collecting Unit to gain access to the power switch, 2) To open the door of the removal hard disk (HD).
