1. MOUNTING
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant
or contact spray to coating or plastic
parts of the equipment.
Those items contain organic solvents that
can damage coating and plastic parts,
especially plastic connectors.
1.1 System Overview
The basic VDR consists of
• Data Collecting Unit (DCU)
• Data Recording Unit (DRU) in the protective capsule
• Remote Alarm Panel (RAP) which indicates the status of the system remotely.
• Junction Box (JB) which can minimize the cable run and increase the number of the input
ports. (Optional supply with VR-3000S.)
• Bridge microphone (one supplied, max. 6)
• Optional VHF Interface Unit IF-5200 which combines VHF microphone and loudspeaker
lines.
The VDR system continuously stores data over past 12 hours in the DRU and removable hard
disk. Oldest data is erased as new data is entered.
The VDR operates on 100-230 VAC mains and 24 VDC power supply. In case of ship’s mains
failure, backup batteries are used for recording bridge audio for 2 hours.
A lot of sensors are connected to the VDR, in different signal types in some cases. Determine
all sensors to be connected before installation.
Note: The Data Collecting Unit, Data Recording Unit, Remote Alarm Panel and Junction Box
are sometimes referred to by their acronyms.
Data Collecting Unit: DCU
Data Recording Unit: DRU
Remote Alarm Panel: RAP
Junction Box: JB

1.2 Data Collecting Unit
The DCU is designed for on-deck or bulkhead installation, and should be mounted within the
wheelhouse. Mount it in a place convenient for connection with relevant sensors and associated
devices. For bulkhead mounting, be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the
weight of the unit under the vibration normally encountered onboard the vessel. Be sure to
mount the DCU in an area with low humidity and away from high temperature materials, as well
as an area with minimal vibration and shock.
Eye bolts are provided at the top of the unit to hoist the unit onboard. Remove them after
installation and plug eye bolt holes with supplied cosmetic caps.
1.2.1 General mounting considerations
Mount the DCU considering the following points.
• The mounting surface must be flat. If it is not flat, insert a number of washers between the
unit and the mounting surface as necessary.
• The mounting location should be away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Choose the location considering cable lengths, connection of relevant sensors and
associated devices, access to connectors and the unit’s door.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the DCU is placed too close to a magnetic compass.
Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent deviation of the compass.
• Observe the recommended service clearances shown in the outline drawing.

1.2.3 Attaching card holder to door
A card holder for convenient storage of LAN cable, IEEE1394 cable, Error code table and Data
extraction procedure on the door of the DCU is available. Remove paper from double-sided
tape on the card holder and attach it to the door at the location shown below, aligning bottom
edge of card holder with bottom edge of door.

1.3 Data Recording Unit
The DRU contains a protective capsule and it should be installed in the vicinity of the bridge on
the open deck area of the vessel. This will maximize the probability of its survival and facilitate
recovery following an incident. The DRU should be positioned clear of rigging and other
potential obstructions and as near to the centerline of the ship as possible. Constructing a
“fence” around the DRU is recommended.
1.3.1 Installation considerations
• Must be separated from fuel or other potential fire hazards.
• Must be separated from probable sources of mechanical damage.
• Must be separated at least 4m from VHF/MF/HF antenna.
• Must be installed in a place that facilitates routing maintenance and copying of recorded data.
• Must be installed where a diver or remote operated vehicle could remove and retrieve.
• There should be a clear and unobstructed area around the DRU to allow a diver or an ROV to
work.
1.3.2 Fixed-type DRU
Mounting
The DRU comes with the mounting bracket fitted. Request shipyard to construct a mounting
base for the DRU. (An example of one is shown on page 33.) On the mounting base, mount the
bracket with M8 bolts and nuts (double nuts). The gap between vibration absorber and bolt
should be at least 3 mm.

Note: If you once detach the main body from the mounting bracket, fix the main body as shown
in the figure above so that the acoustic beacon is horizontal. Then, the main body is securely
fixed by the band.
How to detach the main body
1. Remove two snap pins.
2. Remove two hinge pins.
3. Lift the release levers and detach the main body.

1.4 Junction Box
The Junction Box, optionally available with the VR-3000S, provides for connection of digital,
serial and analog equipment, and three units may be connected. The No. 1 JB has the following
channels: Eight channels of IEC 61162 (two IEC 61162-2 and six IEC 61162-1), 64 channels of
digital, and 16 channels of analog. The No. 2 and No. 3 JBs have 64 channels of digital and 16
channels of analog, respectively.
1.4.1 Mounting considerations
The JB can be mounted on a bulkhead or a deck. For bulkhead mounting, be sure the mounting
location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit. Mount the JB considering the
following points.
• Locate the unit out of sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat that can build up
inside the cabinet.
• The mounting location should be away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Choose the location considering cable lengths, connection of relevant sensors and
associated devices, and easy access to connectors inside.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the JB is placed too close to it. Observe the compass
safe distances on page i to prevent deviation of a magnetic compass.
• Observe the recommended service clearances shown in the outline drawing.
1.4.2 Mounting dimensions, mounting procedure
Fasten the unit to the mounting location with M10 bolts or ø10 coach bolts.

1.6 Microphone
1.6.1 Bridge microphone VR-5011
The bridge microphone comes with a flush mount plate. Fix
the plate with six 4x16 self-tapping screws. The microphone
covers an area about 10 m in diameter with the height of 2 m.
Six microphones can cover a maximum 60 m diameter
bridge area (including wings).

Coverage of microphone
Microphone mounting considerations, mounting dimensions
The following consideration must be taken into account to decide the location of the
microphone.
• Provide clearance around it (normally overhead in the bridge)
• The microphone is not waterproof, therefore do not install it on a wing.
• Locate away from noise sources, such as fans, motors, and loudspeakers (1 m or more from
air duct)
• Mount on a non-vibrating surface to keep noise to a minimum.
• Secure the cable to keep noise to a minimum. If the cable runs on an overhead without
securing it, the cable will pick up noise.
• Observe the compass safe distances shown on page i to prevent interference to a magnetic
compass.
• Microphones are mounted in the place(s) to pick up voices at the locations shown below.
(Complying with IEC 61996, 4.6.5.)

1.6.2 Waterproof microphone VR-3012W
The waterproof microphone VR-3012W may be mounted on a wing, and is available in
bulkhead and flush mount versions.
Mounting considerations
The following consideration must be taken into account to decide the location of the waterproof
microphone.
• Provide sufficient clearance around the unit for maintenance, etc., referring to the outline
drawing.
• Locate away from noise sources, such as fans, motors, and loudspeakers (1 m or more from
air duct).
• Mount on a non-vibrating surface to keep noise to a minimum.
• Observe the compass safe distances shown on page i to prevent interference to a magnetic
compass.
• Secure the cable to keep noise to a minimum. If the cable runs on an overhead without
securing it, the cable will pick up noise.
Bulkhead mount
1. Fasten the unit to the mounting location with M6 bolts or ø6coach screws.

1.7 VHF Interface Unit IF-5200 (option)
Mounting
Fix the unit using 4x20 self-tapping screws. Remove the cover to access to holes. When a
non-FURUNO VHF is connected to the unit, using the terminal board, remove unused wires
and connectors. Otherwise, noise problem may arise.
