1 Scope and purpose
This user guide describes all common tasks that the ship crew needs to perform on the Danelec
S-VDR/VDR. The user interface of all Danelec S-VDR/VDR is explained, as well as the procedure
to extract data from the S-VDR/VDR, and how to replay the extracted data.

2 Danelec S-VDR/VDR types
The instructions given in this document covers all types of Danelec Marine S-VDR/VDR models.
Most instructions are similar regardless of the S-VDR/VDR type. However, there are some
differences. It is therefore necessary to determine what type of S-VDR/VDR is installed.
The following are the current and previous Danelec Marine S-VDR/VDR Models:
S-VDR
DM100 S-VDR
DM200 S-VDR
DM300 S-VDR
VDR
DM100 VDR
DM400 VDR
DM500 VDR
2.1 How to determine the S-VDR/VDR type
To determine what type of S-VDR / VDR is installed, open the S-VDR/VDR door and look for the
Type Approval label inside the cabinet. The label is located on the left-hand side of the cabinet.

3 User Interface for DM100 / DM200 / DM300 S-VDR and
DM400 / 500 VDR
The user interface for the DM100/DM200/DM300 S-VDR and DM400/DM500 VDR is identical
and is called the Bridge Alarm Unit (BAU).
The BAU serves two purposes:
Alarm indicator and display
Saving of incidents to backup disk
In normal mode, the display of the BAU will indicate how many incidents are available in the
system. If alarms exist in the system, the display will indicate the alarm type.
3.1 Dimmer button
The Dimmer button can be used to adjust the backlight of the display and buttons. Press the dimmer
button multiple times to move between the different backlight levels.
3.2 Alarms
During normal operation, the S-VDR/VDR should not have any alarms and no user operation is
required.
If an alarm in the S-VDR/VDR occurs, the BAU will indicate the alarm in the following way:
The BAU buzzer will sound an alarm tone
The BAU display will indicate the alarm code (3 digit) and a short description
The ERROR LED will light up RED

Alarm Example:
3.3 Acknowledging alarm
If an Alarm is present in the S-VDR/VDR, the BAU will sound the alarm tone. To stop the alarm
tone, press the ACK button.
After any alarm the system should be monitored to see whether the alarm has been automatically
cleared or persists in the system. As long as the ERROR LED is lit, an alarm is present in the
system.
An alarm in the system will be automatically cleared when the condition for the alarm disappears.
When all alarms are cleared, the ERROR LED will turn off and the display text will return to show
remaining incidents available.
3.4 Purging the alarm list
Pressing the PURGE LIST button will purge the alarm list of alarms where the alarm condition no
longer exists. If the condition for the alarm reappears, the alarm will sound again.
3.5 Incidents
In case of an incident, the crew of the vessel is required to save data onto the S-VDR/VDR backup
disk drive for later analysis.
The Danelec S-VDR/VDR contains a backup disk drive with data capacity for 3 incidents. When an
incident is saved, the S-VDR/VDR automatically stores the last 12 hours of recorded data on a
protected area of the backup disk drive while continuing to record new data.
When 3 incidents have been saved, the backup disk drive becomes full and no more incidents can
be saved. It is therefore important, after an incident has been saved, to extract data from the incident
onto another media (PC, CD, etc.) and delete the stored incident from the backup disk drive.
It is not recommended to use the save function as a form of backup for internal use. If backup of
recording for internal use is needed, the data should be extracted through the S-VDR/VDR web
interface as described in chapter 7.
Note:
Saved incidents can only be deleted by a certified Danelec Marine technician.30 days after the
incident was saved the write protection will be removed and the incident can be overwritten.

3.6 Back up drive
The Backup disk drive has been designed in accordance with IMO regulations to be easily
removable from the S-VDR/VDR in case of an emergency where the crew has to abandon the
vessel. The Backup disk drive should never be removed from the system under normal conditions.
Depending on the model, the backup disk drive is either a USB stick or a hard disk cassette.
S-VDR / VDR Type
Back up disk type
DM100 S-VDR
USB disk
DM200 S-VDR
USB disk
DM300 S-VDR
Hard disk cassette
DM400 VDR
USB disk
DM500 VDR
Hard disk cassette
Note:
The USB disk is not standard formatted. If connected to a computer, the computer may ask to
format it. DO NOT FORMAT THE USB DISC, all data will be lost and the S-VDR/ VDR will not
be able to record to it again. In case of a formatted USB disc, service is required.
3.7 How to save an incident
To save an incident, press the two save buttons on the BAU simultaneously. The display will
indicate that the backup procedure (saving the incident) is in progress and the SAVE LED will
blink. After saving the incident, press the ACK button to acknowledge and the display will return to
the main display.
