DM100 L-VDR G2

Servicing and repairing shipboard electronics can be time consuming and expensive. There are the complicated logistics of scheduling a service call and finding a properly trained technician – sometimes from a remote port. Then there is the question of whether the technicians have the correct spare parts on hand and can complete the repairs in time to meet the ship’s sailing schedule.

Now there is a way to save time and money, while eliminating in-port delays, thanks to the new SWAP solution from Danelec. With SWAP technology^TM, all system software and configuration, as well as programming data, is automatically saved on a hot-swappable memory card that can easily be removed from the old unit and inserted into the new one. Relocating the repair from ship to shore saves hours of time in re-installing software and re-programming the unit.

• Saves time by enabling onboard repairs to be accomplished in a matter of hours, not days
• Saves money by reducing man hours for service calls
• Protects valuable shipboard data on a hot-swappable memory card
• Keeps ships on schedule, eliminating in-port delays for repairs

VDRConnect is a web-based remote access service available with Danelec Marine VDRs. As a value added interface, VDRConnect allows selective transmission of data from the VDR via satellite to the home office without being limited by satellite capacity onboard vessels. Remote access provides a wide range of benefits for control, safety and optimization, in addition to reducing costs and the environmental effects of travel by removing the need for technicians to visit a ship in person for some service issues.

VDR Explorer playback software runs on any PC and can provide real-time monitoring and replay of recorded data. It can be presented in a wide variety of both graphical and numerical ways, and is extremely easy and user-friendly to customize and operate. VDR Explorer can be synced with the Danelec IP Video Interface (IPVI) to review time-stamped CCTV footage alongside recorded VDR data.
