Operator's Manual for the DM100-2014 VDR Copyright Danelec Marine A/S 4 Operation of the DM100 DAU The door to the DAU must be locked after the VDR has been installed and is operating normally. This section of the manual is only relevant during installation and service.
Operator's Manual for the DM100-2014 VDR Copyright Danelec Marine A/S 4.1 Data Processing Unit (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 tolerate.
Operator's Manual for the DM100-2014 VDR Copyright Danelec Marine A/S 4.1.4 Battery switch The battery switch indirectly controls a relay between the DPU and the battery pack. When switching the VDR off; do the following: Pop out the AC breaker and briefly move the battery switch to its “OFF”...

The right LED (yellow) will be illuminated when a communication link is established to the DAU. The LED will flicker depending on the traffic load.
Operator's Manual for the DM100-2014 VDR Copyright Danelec Marine A/S 7 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 7.1) which may be used if the “Power over Ethernet” ports on the DPU are used for other purposes.
