5 Handling unresolved alarms
If an alarm persists in the S-VDR/VDR and is not cleared by itself or if the OPT report indicates
problems (DM100 VDR only), it must be assessed whether the alarm is critical and requires
support/service or whether it is due to an issue on board the vessel not related to the S-VDR/VDR,
but affects the data recorded by the S-VDR/VDR.
For example, if the radar connected to image channel 1 on the S-VDR/VDR is switched off, alarm
“080 VIDEO VD01 input” will appear. When the radar is switched on again, the alarm will
automatically disappear. If the radar was not switched off and the same alarm appears, it indicates a
connection or hardware problem. In this case, service is required.
Some alarms may take a while to disappear from the system, even though the condition that caused
the alarm has been corrected. On all systems with a BAU, pressing the “Purge List” button will
clear the alarms from the system immediately and the alarm will only reappear if the condition for
the alarm still exists. On systems with a BCP, this possibility does not exist. This means that the
system must be monitored if an alarm remains after the condition has been corrected.
In the event of an alarm that requires service, contact one of Danelec Marine’s agents. A list of
agents can be found on the Danelec Marine web page:
