1. MOUNTING
1.1 Data Collecting Unit VR-7010
Mounting consideration
Select a mounting location, keeping in mind the following points:
• Locate the unit away from heat sources.
• Select a location where the shock and vibration are minimal.
• Locate the unit away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Make the maintenance space shown in the outline drawing for maintenance and
checking purpose.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the unit is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual to prevent
interference to a magnetic compass.
• Select a mounting location considering the length of the cables to be connected to
this unit.
The cables connected the units shown below should be 50 m or less.
• Select a location where the surface is flat. If it is not flat, insert a number of washers
between the unit and the mounting location as necessary.
• Select a location that is strong enough to support the weight of the unit.
• The cable entrance of the unit should face downward.
• Fixed DRU • Float-free DRU
• Microphone • Waterproof microphone
• Remote alarm panel
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.

Mounting
Install the data collecting unit (DCU) on a bulkhead.
1. Fasten the unit with four M10 bolts or 10 coach bolts (local supply).
2. Two eye bolts are attached at the top of the unit to hoist the unit onboard. Remove

1.2 Data Recording Unit (DRU)
1.2.1 Fixed data recording unit VR-7020
The fixed DRU shall be sited in the vicinity of the bridge on the external deck area of
the vessel so as to maximize the probability of its survival and recovery following an
incident.
Mounting consideration
Select a mounting location, keeping in mind the following points:
• Select the mounting location considering the facilitation of underwater removal and
retrieval by both divers and ROVs. There should be a clear unobstructed space in
the vicinity of the capsule to allow an ROV or diver to work.
• Locate the unit as near to the center line of the ship as possible.
• Locate the unit away from fuel or other potential fire sources.
• Locate the unit away from probable sources of the mechanical damage.
• Make the maintenance space for maintenance and checking purpose.
Mounting
To install the fixed DRU, do the following:
1. Verify that the fixed DRU mounting base lines up with the hull mounting holes. Re-
fer to the figure on the next page for the fixed DRU mounting base template pat-
tern.
2. Ensure the paint around the bottom of the mounting holes on the fixed DRU and
hull mounting brackets is removed.
3. Apply the silicone sealant (S-8400W, supplied) around the mounting holes on the
fixed DRU and hull mounting brackets.
4. Install three lock washers (supplied).
5. Insert bolts through the hull mounting brackets.
6. Fix the fixed DRU with the supplied installation materials.

1.2.2 Float-free data recording unit VR-7021F
Mounting consideration
Select a mounting location, keeping in mind the following points:
• The float-free DRU should, with greatest possible probability, float-free and avoid
being caught in railings, superstructure, etc., if the ship sinks.
• The float-free DRU should be located so that it may be easily released manually and
brought to the survival craft by one person. It should therefore not be located in a
radar mast or any other places which can only be reached by vertical ladder.
• Fix the float-free DRU vertically on the bulkhead or
handrail so that the cable entrance faces downward.
Ensure that the steel hull or plate where the bracket is
mounted is completely flat. If it is uneven, the capsule
may not make good contact with the docking module.
• Confirm that a buoyant lanyard is attached to the cap-
sule correctly. The buoyant lanyard (for tethering to life
craft) is attached to the capsule of the float-free DRU.
The buoyant lanyard must be attached to the capsule
correctly to prevent its being trapped in the ship’s struc-
ture when the capsule is released.
• The float-free DRU should be marked with the ship’s call sign, serial number, MMSI
number (if applicable), and 15 Hex ID before installation.
• The cable between the float-free DRU and junction box (VR-7022F) should be as
short as possible.
• Locate the unit 5m or more away from the VHF antenna.
• Locate the unit away from the equipment that generate the magnetic field.
• Ground the unit by connecting the ground plate
to the ship’s body with the hex. bolt.
• Apply the silicone grease between the docking
module and storage module to prevent water
from entering (see the figure on the next page).
After applying the silicone grease, do not release
the capsule from the bracket other than the main-
tenance. If you release the capsule, apply the sil-
icone grease again when reattach it.

• Do not bend the cable base of the float-free DRU. Also, do not damage the cable.
• Do not bend and/or twist the cable excessively to secure the cable. Ensure a mini-
mum bend radius of 80 mm.
Note: The IMO obliges that VDR-equipped ships must carry a float-free DRU. The fol-
lowing is an excerpt from the regulation. Observe the following location/installation
conditions.
• The float-free DRU must be installed in the vicinity of the navigation bridge, i.e. on
the wings of the navigation bridge. Access via vertical ladder should not be accept-
ed. A location on the top of the wheelhouse may be accepted to fulfill the require-
ment if accessible by stairs.

The silicone grease is supplied with the float-free DRU, “Item no.88237 Tron-
40VDR” is marked to the tube of the silicone sealant.
Note: Do not use the silicone grease other than the supplied silicone grease. The
silicone grease is used for the maintenance of the float-free DRU, so make a
space for storage around the DCU and store the grease on the vessel.

5. Reattach the cover and snap pin to the mounting bracket.
Recording the expiration date of the battery and hydrostatic release unit
After installing the float-free DRU, confirm the expiration date of the battery (inside the
float-free DRU (capsule)) and hydrostatic release unit, then record them to the table
in section 3.2. The expiration date is recorded during coding (see page AP-31).
• Battery in the float-free DRU
The expiration date of the battery is indicated on the sticker attached to the side of
the capsule. According to the expiration date, the numbers on the sticker are cut out
or filled with a permanent marker. For example, when the expiration date is April
2019, “2019” and “4” on the sticker are cut out or filled with a permanent marker.
After confirming the expiration date, record it to the table in section 3.2.

• Hydrostatic release unit
The expiration date of the hydrostatic release unit is indicated on the sticker at-
tached to the side of the unit or the sticker on the side of the bracket. For the sticker
attached to the side of the unit, the numbers on the sticker are cut out or filled with
a permanent marker according to the expiration date. For example, when the expi-
ration date is June 2016, the numbers below the “2016” and “JUN” on the sticker
are cut out or filled with a permanent marker.
For the sticker attached to the side of the bracket, the expiration date is recorded in
the field shown below.
After confirming the expiration date, record it to the table in section 3.2.
Note: If the expiration date is not recorded on the sticker, record it on the sticker,
referring to the sticker attached to the side of the hydrostatic released unit.
The expiration date is indicated on this sticker.
Example: When the expiration date is April 2019.
“2019” is cut out or filled
with
a permanent marker.
“4” is cut out or filled with
a permanent marker.
Example: When the expiration date is June 2016.
The number below “2016” is cut out or
