SYSTEM CONFIGURATION Data Recording Unit (DRU) IEEE1394 or FireWire Microphone Waterproof Box VR-5012 VR-5020-6 or VR-5020-9 cabling, 30 m (60 m max with optional repeater) Bridge Mic Repeater Max.
Chapter 1 1.1 OPERATION OVERVIEW The VR-5000 consists of Data Collecting Unit or DCU, Data Recording Unit or DRU, and bridge microphone units. The VDR system continuously store data from the past 12 hours onto the Flash Memory in the capsule, erasing the oldest data stored as new data is recorded. The data to be recorded includes; .1 .2 .3 .4 .5 .6 .7 .8 .9 .10 .11 .12 .13 .14 .
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).
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. .6 Communications audio A maximum of two VHF communications are recorded for both transmitted and received audio signals. Audio will be compressed by MP3 or similar technique.
.13 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. .14 Acceleration and hull stresses The DCU obtains signals from appropriate hull stress and response monitoring devices. The inputs are recorded individually and stored with time stamps.
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). 3) To turn on/off power to and remove the HD. 1.2.1 Recording To start recording, press the AC, DC (if connected), and BATTERY switches in this order.
1.3 OPERATION ON REMOTE ALARM PANEL No power switch is provided on the Remote alarm panel. It is turned on and off by the power switch on the DCU. To silence the alarm, press ACK button. When the error LED (red) on the Remote Alarm Panel is on, identify the error by checking status LEDs on the Power Distribution Unit in the DCU. See to Chapter 3. The buttons on the remote alarm panel work as described in the figure below.
1.4 LED STATUS The LEDs on the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) operates as follows. Table 1.1 Status of LEDs LEDs Status Remarks AC Green Presence of AC mains DC Green Presence of DC supply if connected BATTERY Green (Blinking) Presence of DC from reserve battery (During charging) DCU OK Green Normal operation of DCU processor (Red: NG) SYS 1 to 3 Orange No error When the system diagnostic detects an error, the DCU OK lamp lights in red and SYS 1 to SYS 3 shows error details.
The green LED (right) on the panel is “Power” indicator and the amber one (left) is HD access indicator. Key lock Cartridge frame Power indicator HD access indicator Lever Front panel of removable hard disk To remove the HD, carry out the following procedure. .1 Press SAVE button (long press) on the RAP (Remote Alarm Panel). The yellow LED starts blinking, showing that recording is being terminated. .2 Wait until the LED comes on. .
Chapter 2 MAINTENANCE Periodic checks and maintenance are important for proper operation of any electronic systems. This chapter contains maintenance instructions to be followed to obtain optimum performance and the longest possible life of the equipment. This chapter, except for 2.1 Routine check, is provided for a qualified personnel. WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Do not open the equipment. Only qualified personnel should work inside the equipment. Do not disassemble or modify the equipment.
Note that the batteries should be recycled. Contact FURUNO dealer. To replace the batteries; .1 Open the front cover with the key. .2 Remove four upset screws on the power distribution unit and pull out the unit. Power distribution unit Upset screw Pan head screw .3 Remove three pan head screws on the power distribution unit and pull out its panel slightly. .4 Remove the battery connections at the battery terminals. .5 Dismount the battery cover by removing four screws.
2.3 REPLACING ACOUSTIC BEACON The underwater acoustic beacon has a built-in battery with approx 6 year lifetime. The beacon must be replaced with new one (type: DK-120, P/No. 000-148-648) by a qualified service engineer before validity date marked on the beacon. Necessary tool: M5 Allen wrench Validity is marked here. Underwater acoustic beacon (VR-5021) Use M5 Allen wrench to loosen bolts. Fig.2.
Chapter 3 TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter provides information on possible causes of problems you may experience with your VDR. If you still have a problem after referring to the table, contact your local dealer or national distributor for further advice. Always provide the product serial number. 3.1 GENERAL TROUBLE FINDING Use table 3.1 to identify the trouble. The system provides the start-up selftest and the result is indicated by LEDs. Table 3.
3.2 OPERATING STATUS The operating status is indicated by LEDs on the DCU. Table 3.2 shows red and orange LED status during normal operation of the VDR. When the system detects an error, LEDs on the PDU will show the details. See next page.
