VSS-V2 Technical Manual

A100K11209 v.1.4

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.

1.2  System Characteristics

• Easy to operate

• 

Input for remote muting of the amplifier circuit when the vessel’s 

own horn is activated

• 

Noise cancelling with DSP filtering

• Manual dimmer control

• Sector indication by use of 8 LEDs

• Input for four directional microphones

• The microphone unit is weatherproof and for bulkhead mounting 

outside, on top of the wheelhouse

• 

Web interface with two different login types. One for reading 

the system status and one for access to settings and system 

parameters

• Output for voyage data recorder

• 

Override function to hear the unfiltered sound from the microphone 

unit

• Able to connect 4 slave panels

1.3  Reading Distance 

According to requirements in IEC 62288,  are both master panel and 

slave panel readable from a distance of 1 meter.
