7.1 Error codes for a basic S-VDR installation
004
SYSTEM
FATAL ERROR
The VDR has encountered an unrecoverable system error. Reboot
the system. If the error persists, call for assistance. The most
probable cause is a faulty CPU board or system RAM
018
STORAGE
Storage failure
Internal software error. Reboot the system. If the error persists call
for assistance.
030
BAU
Communication error
The DPU is unable to communicate with the BAU. Check the cable
from the DPU to the BAU. Reboot the system. If the error persists
call for assistance. The most probable cause is a faulty cable, BAU
or DPU.
031
BAU #1
Communication error
Only relevant for dual BAU installations.
The DPU is unable to communicate with BAU #1 of 2. Check the
cable from the DPU to the BAU. Reboot system. Also check switch
settings on BAU #1: Switch 1 should be ON, switch 2 OFF. If the
error persists, call for assistance. The most probable cause is a
faulty cable, BAU or DPU.
032
BAU #2
Communication error
Only relevant for dual BAU installations.
The DPU is unable to communicate with BAU #2 of 2. Check the
cable from the DPU to the BAU. Reboot system. Also check switch
settings on BAU #2: Switch 1 should be OFF, switch 2 ON. If the
error persists call for assistance. The most probable cause is a
faulty cable, BAU or DPU.
036
CONFIG
Unable to save
The VDR was unable to save the configuration. Please retry. This
error is only expected to occur during configuration (installation) of
the system.
042
CONFIG
Configuration failed
The VDR is unable to find any configuration at all. Replace the
boot compact flash in the DPU (a properly made boot flash
contains a default configuration from which the system can start).
Restore a backup of the configuration.
054
ALARM
Running on battery
The system is running on battery. Both the main power and the
emergency power are absent. If there is a general power failure on
the vessel, ignore (ACK) this message, otherwise check the power
supply status in the DAU. Consult section 4.1.1for details.
056
AUDIO
Microphones failed
The microphone test failed. Force a microphone test (this is a
feature in the VDR configurator under AUDIO settings). This test
will reveal which microphone is causing the problem. Check that
the “BMU active” checkbox is unchecked for non-existing
microphones. Check the cables to the microphones reported as
faulty. Test the inputs on the audio interface module with a spare
microphone. Replace microphones which are reported faulty if no
other error is discovered.
