    VHF communication audio Power supply precaution If ship’s mains power source (100-230 VAC) and emergency source fail, the VR-3000/VR-3000S continues to record bridge audio for 2 h from backup batteries. When using the backup batteries, suspend power to the IF-8530 Junction box..
  • Page 12 Continuity of storing data The VDR should be provided with power to store data for 12 h on a first-in, first-out basis. Recording is terminated only under the following circumstances: a) During essential maintenance while the vessel is in port. b) When the vessel is laid-up.
  • Page 13 Data Recording Unit The Data Recording Unit is housed in a highly visible protective capsule which can withstand a fire of 1100°C for 1 hour and deep-sea pressure of 6000 m. The underwater acoustic beacon (pinger) on the capsule automatically transmits 10 ms pulses at 37.5 kHz for at least 30 days when it is submerged in water.
  • Page 14 AIS-VHF data-link message, AIS-VHF data-link own-vessel message Where there is no commercial off-the-shelf interface available to obtain radar data then AIS target data shall be recorded as a source of information regarding other ships, otherwise AIS information may be recorded additionally as a beneficial secondary source of information on both other and own ship.
  • Page 15 Radar data Radar image including range rings, EBLs, VRMs, plotting symbols, radar maps, parts of SENC, voyage plan, and other essential navigational indications, is recorded in the DRU via the interface in the DCU which is connected to the buffered video output of the radar display unit. One complete picture frame is captured at intervals of 15 s.

  • Page 16: Operating Procedure

    1.2 Operating Procedure The VDR comes with a key to lock the DCU to protect against any unauthorized access. The key must be kept securely after installation. 1.2.1 Powering, recording On the power control panel in the DCU, turn on the AC SUPPLY MAINS, DC SUPPLY MAINS and BATTERY BACK-UP switches in this order.

  • Page 17: Operation On Remote Alarm Panel

    If you press the SAVE button four times, all four areas stop recording. To remove the HDD, see paragraph 1.4. If you pressed the SAVE button during an incident, consult a FURUNO dealer to restore the HDD after the authorities complete an investigation of the incident.

  • Page 18: Removing Hdd At An Incident

    1.4 Removing HDD at an Incident VDR information is copied automatically into the backup hard disk drive (HDD) for more than 12 hours (max. 13 hours) and is then automatically written over with new data. Bring the HDD with you after an incident if possible. Press the SAVE button only when an incident occurs. To replace the HDD under other circumstances, see section 2.6.
