2 System overview
VDR System overview (typical configuration)
2.1.1 Data Acquisition Unit (DAU)
The Data Acquisition Unit contains the Data Processor Unit (DPU). The DAU must be installed
indoors in the proximity of the bridge.
2.1.2 VDR Bridge Control Panel (BCP)
The BCP must be installed on the bridge either in a console or mounted on a bulkhead. The BCP is
the interface for the VDR Operational Performance Test which must be carried out regularly. VDR
system errors will also be shown here as a caution (steady yellow light).
2.1.3 Bridge Microphone Units (BMU)
A number of BMUs must be installed on the bridge (console, ceiling or bulkhead mounted).
Watertight outdoor BMUs for the bridge wings are available.

2.1.4 Fixed capsule
The fixed data capsule (“the orange box”) must be installed on an “external deck close to the
vessels center line” - typically on the external deck above the bridge.
2.1.5 Float-free capsule
The float-free capsule is an additional data capsule which is required according to IEC 61996-1
ed2.0. It must be installed in the same way as an EPIRP.
2.1.6 Remote Video Interface (RVI)
The RVI is optional equipment. An RVI may be used to capture video from, for example, a
RADAR which is unable to send images to the VDR using Ethernet; i.e. typically older equipment.
The RVI must be installed indoors, normally close to the RADARs. It must be connected to the
DAU with a cable which may be up to 100m in length.
2.1.7 Sensor Interface Unit (SIU)
The SIU is optional equipment. An SIU is needed if, for example, door status cannot be provided
using a serial or Ethernet interface on the VDR.
A standard non-modular compact SIU has 8 serial interfaces, 8 analog interfaces and 64 digital
interfaces. A modular SIU also exists which can be configured to have other combinations of
interfaces. The SIU must be installed indoors. It must be connected to the DAU with an Ethernet
cable up to 100m long.

2.2 Maximum number of supported interfaces
If needed, additional equipment may be used to make larger or non-standard configurations. The
maximum number of supported interfaces for a VDR is listed below:
Type of input
Maximum configuration
Ethernet interfaces*
7 on DAU
Serial inputs
40 (12 on DAU + 3 modules)
Analog inputs
32 (2 modules)
Digital inputs
128 (8 modules)
Audio inputs
14 (10 on DAU + 4 on RAI )
Video inputs**
4 (2 RVIs)
* For configuration of the VDR, acquiring network data and acquiring image data.
** The VDR records up to 8 image tracks. Four of these tracks may be used for recording images acquired by a Remote
Video Interface (optional equipment).

3 Operation
3.1 Bridge Control Panel
The BCP is the primary user interface for an installed operational VDR. It serves two purposes:
•Alarm (caution) display
•Interface for initiating VDR self-test (Operational Performance Test)
3.1.1 Alarm display
The VDR will generate an alarm message (caution) if a system error is detected. An alarm message
will be displayed on the BCP and the yellow caution indicator will be illuminated. No audible alarm
will be generated and alarms should not be acknowledged. Alarm messages will be cleared and the
caution indicator turned off when the cause of error is resolved.
3.1.2 Self-test – Operational Performance Test
An Operational Performance Test (OPT) of the VDR must be carried out regularly, and always after
service and maintenance which may affect the operation of the VDR. An OPT is best done while
the vessel is en route and all navigation equipment is switched on. A service agent must be
contacted if the OPT report shows problems which cannot be fixed by the master on the vessel.
Click on “F2” and follow the instructions in order to carry out an OPT.
3.1.3 Setting the display brilliance level to default
Pressing the DIM bottom for 5-7 seconds will restore the display brilliance level.

4 Operation of the DM100 DAU
The door to the DAU must be locked after the VDR has been installed and is operating normally.
