Operator's Manual for the DM100 S-VDR Copyright Danelec Marine A/S This VDR data disk must be replaced if it becomes full (which is unlikely under normal circumstances). Alternatively, data from the disk must be transferred to another media, and space on the disk can be manually released.
Operator's Manual for the DM100 S-VDR Copyright Danelec Marine A/S 4 Operation DM100 DAU The door to the DAU must be locked after the S-VDR is installed and operating normally. This section of the manual is only relevant during installation and service, or if the (USB) VDR data disk has to be removed following a serious incident.
Operator's Manual for the DM100 S-VDR Copyright Danelec Marine A/S 4.1 DPU The DPU is the main computer in the system. It is basically a PC, but it has been designed from scratch in a completely different manner in order to withstand environmental stress which far exceeds what an ordinary industrial PC can sustain.
Operator's Manual for the DM100 S-VDR Copyright Danelec Marine A/S 4.1.4 Battery switch The battery switch indirectly controls a relay between DPU and the battery pack. When switching the S-VDR off, do the following: Pop out the AC breaker and move the battery switch to its “OFF”...
Operator's Manual for the DM100 S-VDR Copyright Danelec Marine A/S 4.1.5 VDR status LED The status of the system is displayed using a tri-color LED. The BAU will display text messages and error codes explaining the problems, if the LED becomes yellow or red.
Operator's Manual for the DM100 S-VDR Copyright Danelec Marine A/S 5 Operation of standard RVI 02-004 and RVI 02-004D (PoE) The DM100 will normally use an RVI 02-004 and RVI 02-004D for image capture. Another type exists (see section 6) which may be used if the “Power over Ethernet” ports on the DPU are used for other purposes.
