10.1  C1714 VDR Interface Module Description 
The C1714 VDR Interface Module provides outputs for connection to a ship’s Voyage Data Recorder to allow 
recording of various panel events. Volt-free relay contacts are provided along with a RS422 serial port which 
conforms to IEC 61162-1. The serial data output conforms to IEC PAS 61162-102 – Extra Requirements for the 
Voyage Data Recorder.
