1. MOUNTING
1.1 Data Collecting Unit VR-7010
Mounting consideration
Select a mounting location, keeping in mind in 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 φ10 coach bolts (local supply).
2. Two eye bolts are attached at the top of the unit to hoist the unit onboard. Remove
them after the installation.
3. Attach two cosmetic caps (supplied) to eye bolt holes.

1.2 Data Recording Unit (DRU)
The protective capsule 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 follow-
ing an incident. The capsule shall be positioned clear of rigging and other potential ob-
structions and as near to the center line of the ship as practically possible.
Mounting consideration
Criteria to be considered when assessing the optimum position shall include but not
be limited to the following:
• separation from fuel or other potential fire sources;
• separation from probable sources of the mechanical damage;
• operational environment for continued serviceability;
• accessibility for routine maintenance;
• 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;
• in case of float-free recording medium, minimization of the risk of obstruction after
release;
1.2.1 Fixed data recording unit VR-7020
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 in 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 en-
trance faces downward.
• The float-free DRU should be equipped with a buoyant lanyard suitable for use as
a tether to life craft, etc. The buoyant lanyard should be so arranged as to prevent
its being trapped in the ship’s structure.
• The float-free DRU should be marked with the ship’s call sign, serial number, MMSI
number (if applicable), 15 Hex ID, and battery expiry date before installation.
• Select a mounting location considering the cable length of this unit.
The cable between the float-free DRU and junction box (VR-7022F) should be 1.8
m or less.
Note: The float-free DRU may also be used to fulfil the requirements for one piece of
equipment (of two), which is capable of transmitting distress alert to shore from or near
the navigating bridge of the ship. Under such conditions the float-free DRU should fulfil
the following additional requirements with regards to location/installation:
• 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 fulfil the require-
ment if accessible by stairs.

Mounting
1. Release the snap pin and remove the cover from the mounting bracket.
2. Fix the mounting bracket with the supplied installation materials.
3. Apply the silicone grease to the mounting holes to prevent corrosion.
The silicone grease is supplied with the float-free DRU.
4. Apply the silicone grease between the docking module and storage module, then
reattach the storage module.
Confirm that the there is no space or foreign material between the storage module
and docking module.

Recording the expiration date of the battery and hydrostatic release unit
After installing the float-free DRU, record the expiration date of the battery (inside the
float-free DRU (capsule)) and hydrostatic release unit.
• Battery in the float-free DRU
Calculate the expiration date of the battery from the year and month of packing. The
year and month of packing for the battery is written on the sticker at the side of the
capsule.
Calculate the expiration date as follows;
Year and month of the installation ≤Year and date of packing + 1.5 years:
The expiration date is the year and month of the installation + 5 years.
Year and month of the installation > Year and date of packing + 1.5 years:
The expiration date is the year and month of packing + 6.5 years.
Cut out the expiration date from the sticker supplied with the float-free DRU, then
attach the sticker to the side of the capsule.
Record the expiration date to the table in section 3.2.

The expiration date of the hydrostatic release unit is the year and month of the in-
stallation + 2 years. Cut out the expiration date from the sticker at the side of the
hydrostatic release unit.
Record the expiration date to the table in section 3.2 and the sticker on the side of
the bracket (see the figure below) with a magic marker.
Attaching the SOS placard
The SOS placard is supplied with the float-free DRU. The SOS placard provides the
procedure for how to remove the capsule from the float-free DRU manually. Attach the
SOS placard to the conspicuous bulkhead or handrail near the float-free DRU.
Cut out the number
below “2016.”
Cut out the number
below “JUN.”
Example: When the expiration date is June 2016.
