3. Installation guideline
The planning and installation shall be carried out in the following steps:
- Determine which shipboard equipment (sensors) need to be connected, considering the
relevant IMO resolutions.
- Determine which ports from the various units (adaptors) are required to acquire the data
from these sensors.
- Determine where the units are to be positioned to minimize the cable length between them.
- Carry out the physical installation, interconnect the units by means of an Ethernet cable.
- Maximum length of Ethernet cable is 100 m.
Maximum length of cable between digital microphones < 15 m up to a total of max. 100 m.
Maximum length of cable between Audio Hub and an analogue microphone is 150m.
- Check for external power requirements (i.e. 24V for video module).
- VDR is provided with ample grounding points. Please ensure that these grounding points
are being used according standard installation practices.
- Power the VDR and name the recording channels which are to be recorded.
- Enter the compulsory vessel data.
- Name the recording channels.
- Adjust the video settings.
- Check the recorded data against the settings by means of the replay software.
- Complete the file downloads as per the Annual Performance documentation and the
commissioning report and send this to the manufacturer to obtain valid certificates and
warranty. This information provided should at least contain:
o Overview drawings of the Bridge/wheelhouse
o Wiring connection drawing from sensors with identifiers
o Configuration files
o Data samples as per documentation
o Photographs of installed units and cabling/connections
o Vidchan files (Video configuration when video module is applied)
o NW6000-90 VDR Commissioning PT and TA Certificates
o TRON40 programming report
