VDR 4340 - Voyage Data Recorder

S-VDR 4330 - Simplified Voyage Data Recorder

The VDR is designed for interfacing all

common bridge Systems and ship
sensors. Analogue and digital signal
inputs can be easy adapted to specific
ship requirements.
The VDR is able to record up to 4 radars.
For downloading of data s a USB
memory stick is preinstalled. As an
option, a removable harddisk can be
fitted for long time data storage.
The VDR 4340 and the SVDR 4330 are
manufactured on the same hardwareand software components.

VDR Features
Easy to install

- Compact, lightweight unit, easy to

move and install
- Easy and convenient system
configuration and commissioning
by client terminal computer
Low hardware cost
High reliability and stability
- With embedded operating system
on flash disk, no harddisk failure

Flexible and extendible

- Easy to expand interfaces through

adoption of USB cascade components
- Different customers requirements
satisfied through optional components and modules
The VDR meets all requirements of the
IMO resolution 861(20) and the performance test standards of IEC 61996
and has EC Type Approval.
