1 Functional Overview
1.1 System Function
The VINGTOR VSS-V2 Sound Reception System is a navigational aid
system required on ships with enclosed bridges. The system enables
the officer in charge of the navigational watch to hear sound signals and
determine their direction.
The system conforms to SOLAS regulation HSC Code, ISO 14859 and
DNV 845.50 (6/2012) type approval programme.
One weatherproof microphone unit with four directional microphones is
mounted on top of the wheelhouse and connected to the VSS bridge
panel.
By use of the microphone unit, the VSS-V2 system will detect the
direction of the incoming horn signal and activate the corresponding
LED at the VSS-V2 front panel. Depending on the signal measured
at two adjacent microphones, additional directions between those
microphones can be measured.
