Alarm Example:
3.3 Acknowledging alarm
If an Alarm is present in the S-VDR/VDR, the BAU will sound the alarm tone. To stop the alarm
tone, press the ACK button.
After any alarm the system should be monitored to see whether the alarm has been automatically
cleared or persists in the system. As long as the ERROR LED is lit, an alarm is present in the
system.
An alarm in the system will be automatically cleared when the condition for the alarm disappears.
When all alarms are cleared, the ERROR LED will turn off and the display text will return to show
remaining incidents available.
3.4 Purging the alarm list
Pressing the PURGE LIST button will purge the alarm list of alarms where the alarm condition no
longer exists. If the condition for the alarm reappears, the alarm will sound again.
3.5 Incidents
In case of an incident, the crew of the vessel is required to save data onto the S-VDR/VDR backup
disk drive for later analysis.
The Danelec S-VDR/VDR contains a backup disk drive with data capacity for 3 incidents. When an
incident is saved, the S-VDR/VDR automatically stores the last 12 hours of recorded data on a
protected area of the backup disk drive while continuing to record new data.
When 3 incidents have been saved, the backup disk drive becomes full and no more incidents can
be saved. It is therefore important, after an incident has been saved, to extract data from the incident
onto another media (PC, CD, etc.) and delete the stored incident from the backup disk drive.
It is not recommended to use the save function as a form of backup for internal use. If backup of
recording for internal use is needed, the data should be extracted through the S-VDR/VDR web
interface as described in chapter 7.
Note:
Saved incidents can only be deleted by a certified Danelec Marine technician.30 days after the
incident was saved the write protection will be removed and the incident can be overwritten.
