CAPSULE Screen 

 

The CAPSULE Screen is where the status of the Final Recording Medium may be found. In the event 
of an error with any of these the status of the image background will turn YELLOW and, on the MEU, 
the red FAULT LED will illuminate. 
 
If either the Fixed Capsule or the Float Free Capsule give a caution the option of trying to re-map the 
capsule by tapping the relevant icon. If after a few attempts then there may be a more serious issue 
requiring authorised attendance. 
 
The X2 system has three final storage devices 

– a Fixed Capsule, a Float Free Capsule and a 1TB 

SSD Long Term Recording Medium (LTRM)  
 
The fixed and float free capsules operate in the same manner as a network hard disc drive. They are 
connected to the system’s internal network via the six-way connector on the Terminal Board. 
 
Each capsule will store a minimum of 48 hours data on their internal memory which will overwrite itself 
on a first in first out basis (FIFO). 
 
The LTRM will store a minimum of 30 days of data and the regulations state that it should be located 
such that access to the drive is not possible without the use of tools. 
 

 

 
Also displayed within this page are the ULB (Underwater Locator Beacon) expiry date and the float 
free capsule’s HRU (Hydrostatic Release Unit) expiry date. 
 
If the ‘Only One Capsule’ option is selected then only the selected capsule will be displayed
