| VDR / S-VDR VR2272-B |
Fully Compliant & Type
Approved
VR2272-B VDR is fully compliant with IMO resolution A861.20, EC directive1999/35/EC,
SOLAS Chapter V, IEC 61996, IEC 61162 and IEC 60945, and EU RoHS |

AMI-GFV Marine Ltd has
continued to manufacture high quality innovative marine
electronic navigational products for many years, becoming
a leading authority in voyage data recording and interfacing
techniques.
Using cutting edge technology AMI¡¯s product
range is both reliable and adaptable to meet the customers
needs. With global logistic backup AMI¡¯s products and
services are second to none.
Spearheading the market with the VR2272
Voyage Data Recorder, the company has established an
impressive customer base including many maritime blue
chip companies.
With the new mass S-VDR retrofitting demand, AMI VR2272-B has been developed,
with its key factors of :
- pricing
- simplicity
- flexibility
The VDR/S-VDR VR2272-B solution is simplified yet highly effective and most importantly
allows great savings over that of the full VDR. |
|
| |
• |
VDR = voyage data recorder |
• |
S-VDR = simplified voyage data recorder |
• |
VR2272-B s-VDR uses the same hardware&software
as the VDR. It¡¯s the same
thing! |
• |
S-VDR just has to record less information than the
full VDR, reducing the cost of interfacing and cost of
installation. |
• |
S-VDR can use a float-away EPIRB memory
capsule as an option to fixed one. |

| IMO
Requirements on s-VDR Fitting Schedule |
|
| ¡¤ To assist
in casualty investigations, cargo ships, when engaged on
international voyages, shall be fitted with a VDR which
may be a simplified voyage data recorder (S-VDR) as follows:
¡¤ In the case of cargo ships of 20,000 gross tonnage
and upwards constructed before 1 July 2002, at the first
scheduled dry-docking after 1 July 2006 but not later
than 1 July 2009;
¡¤ In the case of cargo ships of 3,000 gross tonnage
and upwards but less than 20,000 gross tonnage constructed
before 1 July 2002, at the first scheduled dry-docking
after 1 July 2007 but not later than 1 July 2010. |

the DATA to the VDR /s-VDR |
| |
| Regulation 20 of SOLAS Chapter V on Voyage Data
Recorders (VDR), required the following classes of ships to install
VDRs by the stated installation dates: ¡¤ Passenger ships constructed on or after July 1, 2002
¡¤ Ro-ro passenger ships constructed before July 1, 2002 -
not later than the first survey on or after July 1, 2002;
¡¤ Passenger ships other then ro-ro ships constructed before
July 1, 2002 - not later than January 2004 |

The VDR, s-VDR, accepts and saves as digital data
• Ship's instrumentation such as GPS & gyro
•Bridge area audio
•Radar Picture (or AIS data)
•and stores it in the memory capsule
OPERATION
Operation requires no
action from the crew with the exception of the "save incident" operation
which saves the last 12 hours data in a file.
5 incidents can be saved.
Data
may be replayed on board or ashore. Replay software is
available to run on a PC.

| The picture above
shows four 32 channel interfaces for an alarm system,
plus a rudder angle synchro interface.

|
AMI have a remarkable range of
interfaces
| • |
KW950 E with options for gyro, log, echo sounder,
GPS, RPM. More than 60 options! |
| • |
KW910 synchro interface for gyro, telegraphs, rudder |
| • |
KW932 32 channel interface for alarm systems, fire
and watertight doors |
| • |
KW935 4 channel voltage or 4-20 mA interface. Telegraph,
rudder, thrusters |
| • |
KW909 PPI parallel port interface for intercepting
engine information |
| • |
printers, and hull stress data |
| • |
KW909 SPI for interfacing proprietary serial data
from, for example, fire alarm systems |
| • |
KW909 FM, 8 channel data combiner. 8 channels in
at 4800 and 1 out at 38400.( + daisychain! ) |

RT2048 Sailor & other VHF radio interface |
| • |
NAVTALK NMEA 0183 distribution interface. 10 channels

RADAR INTERFACING
The radar acquisition interface (RAI) connects to true
RGB compliant signals.
If a radar does not have VESA standard RGB
signals then the radar maker might be able to supply an
RGB conversion interface. An RGB conversion interface
is not part of the s-VDR but part of the radar.
If an off-the-shelf RGB conversion interface
is not available from the radar manufacturer then the s-VDR
rules allow an AIS input to be used instead. Otherwise, "You name it, we interface
it¡± |
