All passenger ships and consecutively all other SOLAS ships, according to their size, which are
constructed on or after 1 July 2002 are to be equipped with voyage data recorders (VDRs) for a perma-
nent acquisition and storage of all actual ship data from audio recordings, navigation- and machinery
sensors.
VDRs enable accident investigators to review procedures and instructions in the moments before, during
and after an emergency and help to identify the cause of any accident.
This part helps to project a VDR, used as a voyage data recorder. The following chapters describe a
standard configuration. A project-specific configuration can comprise additional components.
2.1 Design of the VDR 4350
The VDR 4350 consists of the following main modules:

• Core
• Audio2net
• MicroVCA003
• NMEA2net
• VDR 4321 (MR8) as Final Recording Medium (FRM)
• Data Collection Unit (analogue and digital signals)
The following additional or alternative components are available:
• Remote Control Panel
• Longterm Recording
• ISDN Router
• Replay System with electronic chart system (ECS) and Realtime Monitor

The VDR 4321 (MR8) module is available in two different versions:

• Version 1: H103.001 or H103.002.
This versions is without web interface. The configuration occurs via network settings of the Core
module exclusively.
• Version 2: H103.003 and higher.
This version contains a web interface and is listed on the input side of the Core module, like Audio2net
module and NMEA2net module. In case of using version 2 (H103.003 and upwards) the configuration
of the VDR 4321 (MR8) module has already been performed, so that no further settings are required.
Only in case of integrating the VDR 4350 or single modules of the VDR 4350 to special network config-
urations it may be necessary to switch off the DHCP functionality and to configure the VDR 4321 (MR8)
module with a static IP-address.

3 Installing the VDR 4350
This part describes all required measures for installing the VDR 4350.
After delivering of the VDR 4350 each device should be inspected for visible signs of damage. The instal-
lation of each module as well as the connections, to be performed, are described in the following para-
graphs.
All VDR 4350 modules can be mounted without vibration dampers directly on a bulkhead or in a rack.
The mounts should be stable enough both to carry the weight of the modules and to prevent the gener-
ation of resonant frequencies.
3.1 Electronics Units
Dimensions, weights, spaces required for service and maintenance and special installation instructions
are stated in the outline drawings and installation drawings (see Appendix on page 127) of the corre-
sponding unit. In general, the following points also apply:
• The lifetime of the components of all electronics units generally decreases with increasing ambient
temperature; it is therefore advisable to install such units in air-conditioned rooms to ensure low
humidity and a temperature below 30°C. If there are no such facilities - e.g. deck house or space near
or below the water line - these rooms must at least be dry, adequately ventilated and kept at a suitable
temperature in order to prevent the formation of condensation inside these units.
• With most electronic units, cooling takes place via the surface of the casing.
The cooling must not be impaired by partial covering of the unit as a result of insulation (if any) of the
room (the wall on which the casing is mounted), or by installation of the unit in a confined cabinet.
Furthermore, the distance from the ceiling and the floor or from a unit situated underneath must be at
least 500 mm and on the right and left side at least 100 mm.
• For service purposes, a power socket (220/230V AC) and adequate lighting are necessary in the
vicinity of each electronics unit.
• In the area of the wheel house, the distance of each electronics unit from the magnetic standard
compass or the magnetic steering compass must not be less than the permitted magnetic protection
distance.
This distance is measured from the centre of the magnetic system of the compass to the nearest point
on the corresponding unit concerned and shall be indicated on the electronic unit.
• When selecting the site for a unit, the maximum cable lengths have to be considered according to the
notes in the cabling documents (remarks, cable list).
• The accessibility for maintenance and service (stated in the outline drawings or installation drawings)
must be considered.
• When a unit is being installed, the base, floor or bulkhead must be checked to ensure that it is flat and
stable in order to avoid twisting of the unit when the fixing screws are tightened, because such twisting
could impair mechanical as well as electrical or electronic functions. Any unevenness should be
compensated for by means of spacing-washers.

• The grounding screws of the units must be connected to the body of the ship (ground); the wire used
should have a cross sectional area of at least 6 mm2.
Aboard a vessel with a fibreglass network (GRP), a grounding network with a high conductance - taking
into consideration the working frequencies of the other equipment - must be provided in order to achieve
satisfactory EMC (electromagnetic compatibility).
ED3302G152 / 00 (2009-08) 39
G4_03.fm / 27.08.09
VDR 4350
Technical Manual
• In the interests of safety during maintaining or servicing, the shipyard should provide a common
isolating switch or circuit breaker (in conjunction with a contractor, if necessary) for all interconnected
equipment.
• Transportation damage, even if apparently insignificant at first glance, must immediately be examined
and be reported to the freight carrier. The moment of setting-to-work of the equipment is too late, not
only for reporting the damage but also for the supply of replacements.
• The commissioning and first set-to-work of the system has to be done by technician authorised by
SAM Electronics GmbH.
• After hand-over of the equipment in good operating condition to the customer, the Acceptance Test
should be filled in completely and then forwarded to SAM Electronics GmbH, as proof of such
fulfilment. It is important that these requirements be fulfilled in order to avoid the risk of losing the
warranty.
3.2 Wiring
This chapter contains information about wiring and grounding.

CAUTION
Device damage from short-circuit!
Incorrect wiring may result in short-circuit.
A short-circuit check after installation is advisable!
Cable types, cable data, maximum cable length, special instructions for cable laying and connection
details are defined in the cabling documents of the corresponding equipment (consisting of schematic
diagram, remarks, cable list and connection diagram).
In order to ensure proper functioning of the equipment, the cable types should be selected according to
the cable lists. The designations for the cables are based on the German Standards DIN. Therefore cable
types as well as Interface connections should be discussed and agreed with SAM Electronics GmbH if
they are not equal to German DIN Standards.
In general, the following points must be taken into account:
• For the cables inside the cabinets, an extra length of 1 metre is necessary at each end. If the height
of the unit exceeds 0.5 m, an extension by 1 m plus the height of the cabinet is necessary.
• The cables must be marked by the electrician at both ends with the cable numbers corresponding to
the connection diagrams documents.
• Where necessary, particular cable glands - marked with letters and/or numbers - are assigned to the
cables. The identification letters and numbers are stated in the connection diagrams; they are either
fixed to the unit or can be seen from the outline drawings.
• All cables should be kept as short as possible, especially coaxial cables to minimize attenuation of
signal.
• All outdoor installed connectors (e.g. on coaxial cables) should be waterproof by design to protect
against water penetration into the cable.
• Coaxial cables should be installed in separate signal cable channels/tubes and at least 100 mm away
from power supply cables. Crossing of cables should be done at right angles (90°). Coaxial cables
should not be exposed to sharp bends, which may lead to change the characteristic impedance of the
cable. The minimum bend radius should be 5 times the cable’s outside diameter.
• It must be ensured that all cables - including their screens - are passed into the units in continuous
lengths and are not terminated before reaching the destination equipment. This is not valid for the use
of cable glands with grounding inserts.

G4_03.fm / 27.08.09
VDR 4350
Technical Manual
• In the case of a unit whose cable inlet consists of a hole with brackets attached on the inside and
outside, the cable must be dressed.
• With multicore cables, it is useful to strip down and lace the single wires according to the terminal
sequence.
• Receptacle-type cable terminals included in the delivery must be crimped to the connecting leads by
means of a suitable pair of AMP pliers. If a terminal board of a unit has no tabs for the above
mentioned receptacles, other suitable cable terminals must be used.
• Existing cable grippers in the units must be used.
• All cable connections must be carefully checked after completion of the cable work and all cable
screens must be grounded via the shortest possible connections - if not stated otherwise in the cabling
documents/connection diagram.
• All cables must be secured by means of suitable clamps (pull-relief) before entering the units.
• When soldering stripped coaxial cables to connectors, it must be ensured that the central conductor
and the screening do not produce a short circuit.
• It must be ensured that cables do not block any moving parts within a unit.
• Stuffing tubes exposed to the open air must, without fail, be sealed with compound.
• Power leads must be protected by slow-blow fuses according to their cross section.
Use ship cables like:
• 2x2x1,5 FMGCG for power supply of core module
• 2x2x1,5 FMGCG for power supply of of other modules
• 2x2x0.75 FMGCG for serial communication wires
• S(UTP) 4x2 AWG26/7, e.g. Unitronic Etherline-H Flex Cat. 5 4x2x26AWG, Art.-Nr. 2170299 (from
LAPP Kabel) for network communication wires
• S(STP) 4x2 AWG23/1, e.g. UC600 SS23/1 4P CAT7 FRNC-B (from Draka Multimedia Cable GmbH)
for network communication wires.
Grounding
Grounding is important for EMC purposes as well as for protecting people’s lives.
The purposes is covered by the standard grounding of the system’s housings to the ship’s metallic struc-
ture (bolted or welded). Regardless of the type of ship’s grounding (e.g. star pattern or ground plane
pattern), no potential difference should be measurable between two different ground connectors. Potential
differences cause compensation currents on the cable shields. If the ship has no metallic structure, all
conductively connected metallic parts form an artificial ground.
• All ground connections should be as short as possible.
• If possible, different units should be connected to individual ground connectors.
• Whenever possible, metallic housings should be screwed or welded directly to the ship’s metallic
structure.
• If a safe grounding contact is not ensured, additional conductors are necessary.
• All ground connections should have a low RF-impedance, and should be resistant against vibration
and corrosion.
• Grounding conductors on an open-air deck must be made of corrosion-protected steel, and inside the
ship they must be made of copper.
• The grounding should be done in such a way that the connection can be inspected in a convenient
manner.

EMC Purposes
The shields of all cables must be connected at both ends if no other instructions are given.
ATTENTION
Connect the screen of the coax cables correctly. If the screen is connected to the terminals
only, the signals might be disturbed.
The screen of the coax cables must be connected to the cable glands (if they have grounding
inserts) or cable entries of the housings and to the appropriate terminals.
Protective Ground
All removable metallic parts of the housings are grounded by means of separate, flexible cables to the
main structure of the housing. It is important to connect this ground-cable again after parts have been
dismounted or exchanged.
Maximum Cable Length
Ethernet LAN
The Ethernet LAN twisted pair cabling (100BaseT) must not exceed a length of 100 m.
Multidata Cable to FRM
The maximum length of this cable is 60 m.
Cable to Microphone
The Microphones could be connect to the VDR 4350 while using a 2x2x0.75 FRNC ship cable or while
using a 8x0.68 Ethernet STP cable. The maximum length of this cable is 100 m.
Cable to serial interfaces
The maximum length of the cable is 400 m, but this depends on the signal level of the transmitter. The
data are sent over a 1x2x0.75 FRNC ship cable.
Video cable
The signals from the Radar are transmitted using a DVI respectively a DSub cable. The maximum length
of this cable is 5 m.

Fig. 3-8 Control Panel
The Remote Control Panel has a dimension of 193x89x70 mm (including wiring). Place the Remote
Control Panel into the related console cut-out (178x74 mm).
In case of implementing the VDR 4350 into systems with no possible free input of the central bridge alarm
system the Remote Control Panel is needed to display the VDR 4350 main alarm. Since a powered-down
VDR 4350 should also signal an alarm, the supply voltage for the alarm unit must be provided independ-
ently and not be supplied from the VDR 4350 itself.
In case of battery operation of the Core module, the Remote Control Panel has to be supplied with power
in the first few minutes, to indicate main power failure. Therefore, the Remote Control Panel has to be
supplied with switchable power from two different power sources. The power line of the Remote Control
Panel contains a relay with two contact pairs. The first source is a 24V/DC source independent from VDR
4350 with a highest availability on board, like the power source for nautical equipment. The second power
source is the internal battery buffed 24V/DC source of VDR 4350 itself, see Figure 3-10.

3.6.1 Position of the Microphones
Place the microphones so that all voice communication at or near the main control station, the radar
screen, the chart tables and in the bridge wings can be collected. The microphones should also register
in- and outgoing signals from intercoms and public address systems as well as any acoustic alarms from
equipment mounted on the bridge.
In the bridge interior the microphones are installed in the ceiling. In the exterior locations, install the
microphone units out of spray and wind in order to reduce unwanted noise.
Place the microphones as far as possible from loudspeakers, ventilation ducts, neon tubes and other
sources of acoustic interference.
For indoor and outdoor operating one microphone type is used. Outdoor microphones are installed in the
wing console. If no wing console is existing the microphones are delivered with housing. In this case
place the housing splash-proof.
Indoor microphones are mounted fix.
In order to ensure a satisfactory acoustic quality, install the microphones, which are mixed into the same
channel within a minimum distance from each other. The minimum distance between the microphones is
the distance, between the voice source and the mounted micro, multiplies with three. Do not exceed a
maximum distance of 4 metres between voice and microphone.

Note the MAC-address from PCB housing for further commissioning.
The VDR 4321 (MR8) module, as final recording medium (FRM) with special protective properties of data,
is an integral part of the VDR 4350. The module is developed for using with the VDR 4350. The VDR
4321 (MR8) is made of two parts. The upper part contains the processor PCB board and can be retrieved
from the vessel. The bottom part remains on board after ship is lost.
The upper part, the case, is closed in itself. It contains the insulating material and the recording medium,
the flash and the processor PCB board. The flash will be salvaged and analysed in case of an accident.
Both parts are connected by dint of a clamp.
The VDR 4321 (MR8) has a total dimension of 342x320x374 mm and a weight of 17.9 kg. It is coated
with an orange-coloured reflective foil, in addition, bounded with a reflective adhesive tape all around,

ATTENTION
During the installation, protect the base plate and the top force against humidity.
Before relocking control the device by a sight check concerning an orderly status and the
existence of the drying agent, same as the fit of o-ring seal.
The following extract from IEC 61996 defines the location of the VDR 4321 (MR8) module.
“The protecting capsule has to be placed near the bridge in the exterior deck-area, to maximise the plau-
sibility of preservation and salvage of data after an accident. The capsule has to be fixed afar from hemp
rope or similar and other possible impediments, but as near as practically possible at the ship's axis.
Criteria to be considered in appointment of the optimal position have to enclose the following, but are not
confined of:
• distance from fuel or other potential conflagration sources
• distance from probable dangerous sources of mechanical damage
• adequate environment for continuous operation
• accessibility to copy recorded data and for routine-maintenance
• alleviation of removing and salvage under water by divers or ROV's. There has to exist an unblocked,
clear space around the capsule to make a diver or ROV able to work.”

4 Commissioning a VDR 4350
General
The VDR 4350 is a modular system. The configuration of the modules has already been performed by
SAM Electronics GmbH, so that from customer side no further settings are required.
The commissioning of the VDR 4350 takes place via web interface. Commission the modules NMEA2net
and Audio2net one after the other. The Remote Control Panel does not need this fall-back level, because
it can be parametrised directly.
CAUTION
Using another port than port 8 to connect a service notebook or devices, which are not config-
ured, make sure that the port is disconnected to power supply.
Otherwise the device or service notebook could be damaged.
CAUTION
Do not apply AC line voltage to any terminal.
This may result in damage to the devices.

4.4 Commissioning the VDR 4321 (MR8) Final Recording Medium
The VDR 4321 (MR8) module is available in two different versions.

• Version 1: H103.001 or H103.002. This versions is without web interface. The configuration occurs
via network settings of the Core module exclusively.
• Version 2: H103.003 and higher. This version contains a web interface and is listed on the input side
of the Core module, like Audio2net module and NMEA2net module. In case of using version 2
(H103.003 and upwards) the configuration of the VDR 4321 (MR8) module has already been
performed, so that no further settings are required.
This version registers to the VDR 4350 configuration automatically. It is not necessary to enter the
MAC-address to network configuration of the Core module.
The automatic configuration occurs first with connection and start on the VDR 4350:
• commissioning
• replacement of the protected capsule
• replacement of the Core module
• reset to defaults of the Core module
The automatic configuration occurs in following steps:
• after all connections are done, start the system
• the VDR 4321 (MR8) module gets a dynamically allocated IP-address by DHCP
• the VDR 4321 (MR8) module connects itself to the Core module and enters its MAC-address to the
VDR 4350 configuration
• 3 minutes after system start the Core module checks the network parameters in the VDR 4350
configuration
• after changing the parameters the network configuration of the operating system will be updated
• VDR 4350 does not identify the VDR 4321 (MR8) module. The VDR 4350 switches off the VDR 4321
(MR8) module ca. 4 minutes after start and switches on the module 3 minutes later
• the FRM performes a restart. The correct MAC-address is now recorded in the network configuration
of the Core module. Therefore the defined IP-address for the FRM is assigned to the VDR 4321 (MR8)
module via DHCP.
• the data transfer from Core module to FRM is working now
• eventually existing error will be reset
Only in case of integrating the VDR 4350 or single modules of the VDR 4350 to special network config-
urations it may be necessary to switch off the DHCP functionality and to configure the VDR 4321 (MR8)
module with a static IP-address.
The web interface can be used for following functionalities:
• displays the actual state of the VDR 4321 (MR8) module
• reinitialisation of the data volume if required. Attention! This will delete all stored data on the VDR
4321 (MR8) module.

5 Troubleshooting and Repair
5.1 Preventive Maintenance
5.1.1 Rechargeable Battery
Replace the rechargeable battery at least every 4 years.
5.1.2 Recorded Data
Carry out a check of the recorded data every month or more frequent.
Carry out a check of the emergency backup function in the same frequency as the other simulated emer-
gency procedures on board of the vessel (e.g. fire fighting, …).
These checks should be documented briefly.
5.2 Troubleshooting of the Core Module
NOTICE
Do not replace fuses on the indication board for connected modules during operation. For
this purpose disconnect the modules from the power supply.
The configuration structure XML is locally storable. So it is possibly to save the configuration of the VDR
4350 via file and to recover when required. Also it is possible to send the configuration structure XML by
the client access (already implemented during the present generations of the VDR 4350). This is inter-
esting for remote access with low bandwidth and high costs.
