VSS-V2 Technical Manual

A100K11209 v.1.4

Installation & Configuration Procedures

4.1  General

For proper installation and operation of the VSS-V2 system, we 

recommend reading this section thoroughly together with technical and 

connection drawings.

 

L

Zenitel has experienced that certain types of ships have a too high 

ambient noise level in the area where the microphone unit is installed. 

This means that installing the microphone in such an area will 

degrade the performance of the system. Zenitel therefore highly 

recommends performing noise measurements before the installation 

to make sure the ambient noise level does not exceed 70dB in the 

area where the microphone is to be mounted.

 

L

In order to comply with DNV ship requirements, the procedures in 

this section have to be followed strictly.

4.2  Mounting

4.2.1  VSS-V2 Master Panel & VSS-V2 Slave Panel

The panels should be flush or bulkhead mounted in a normal and 

ventilated indoor environment with a temperature of m55 ºC. 

The Master Panel is normally mounted in the Bridge control panel. 

Make sure that there is sufficient space for cables and maintenance.

4.2.2  VSS-V2 Microphone Unit

The effectiveness of the system depends on the microphone installation. 

The location of the unit outside the wheelhouse is critical due to the 

ship’s velocity, wind and vibrations.
Normally, the microphone unit is mounted outside, on top of the bridge.

Precautions: 

Background noise & Feedback

  

For best performance, the unit must be placed as far away from noise 

sources as possible. This allows for the detection of signals from longer 

distances.

 

Undertake noise measurements before the installation to make sure 

the ambient noise level does not exceed 70dB in the area where the 

microphone is to be mounted.

 

Mount the Microphone Unit according to 

Figure 1 Microphone 

Mounting Guidance

 on page 12.

 

Do not mount the microphone where vessels own typhoon will 

exceed 100-110dB when activated. This will cause the microphone 

unit to temporary malfunction in microphone check signal. This may 

cause permanent damages to microphones mounted in unit.

 

Do not mount the microphone too close to regularly opened doors or 

windows near the Master panel / Slave panel in order to prevent the 

system from oscillating due to acoustic feedback.

 

Mount the microphone in the correct direction - front is marked
