OPERATION Overview The VR-7000/7000S consists of a Data Collecting Unit (DCU), Data Recording Units (Fixed DRU and Float-free DRU), Remote Alarm Panel (RAP), Video LAN Converter, Sensor Adapter and bridge microphone units.
The VDR system continuously stores data for 48 hours onto the Flash Memory in the capsule, erasing the oldest data stored as new data is recorded. IEC sentences: when received. Analog and digital data: every second For VR-7000, you can select one or two 512-GB SSD(s) as internal long term device(s). When selecting one SSD, you can add another one using an optional SSD kit later. OPERATION Date and time: Date and time are obtained from an external GPS navigator referenced to UTC. When an external GPS navigator is not available, a signal is recorded with a built-in clock in the DCU. Ship’s position and datum used: Latitude, longitude and datum are obtained from a GPS navi- gator, Loran-C receiver or other EPFS or INS available on standard serial interface.
OPERATION The channel number and resolution can be recorded is shown in the table below. Input method No. Of pcs Resolution/Max. Channel number Inputs through 1 SSD (512 GB) UXGA (1600×1200): 2 ch + Full HD (1920×1080): 1 ch the video LAN 2 SSDs (1 TB) UXGA (1600×1200): 2 ch + Full HD (1920×1080): 1 ch +. VR-7017, however, this is not abnormal. Note 2: If the VR-7000/7000S system fails to start, it may be restarted.
Note 3: Do not turn off the DCU power for 30 seconds after the power is turned on. Recorded data can be corrupted.

OPERATION 1.3.8 How to execute SAVE function for recorded data (only for VR- 7000S) If marine incidents occur, record the data, which are recorded to the capsule, to area1 (or 2, 3, 4) in the long term device(s). When all areas are used, the memory for the oldest area is automati- cally overwritten with the new memory in order from the oldest area. OPERATION How to Release the Capsule from the Bracket of the Float-free DRU in Emergency Situation In an emergency situation, release the capsule from the bracket of the Float-free DRU to remove the capsule if possible. Note 1: Do not drop the capsule from a high place. Note 2: Do not release the capsule other than in an emergency situation or maintenance.
OPERATION After picking up the capsule After picking up the capsule from the sea, dry it with a towel. When the capsule is dried, its lamp stops flashing. Pass the capsule to the investigating authorities through the search and rescue team. MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance is important to maintain performance.
This chapter contains maintenance instructions to be followed to obtain optimum performance and the longest possible life of the equipment. WARNING NOTICE ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive Do not open the DCU cover. Sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment. MAINTENANCE Maintenance of the Float-free DRU The capsule of the Float-free DRU transmits the signal similar to the distress signal of a satellite EPIRB. Therefore, trouble to the search and rescue authorities may occur if the capsule acciden- tally transmits the signal.
If accidental transmission occurs, stop the transmission and inform the search and rescue authorities of the accidental transmission. MAINTENANCE the VDR can retain the data of the latest 10 minutes. If more than 10 minutes passes after re- leasing the capsule, the data of 10 minutes before the capsule is returned to the bracket is lost.
At this time, the communication error with the Float-free DRU appears on the remote alarm pan- el. MAINTENANCE. Do not use force to reattach the capsule and bracket cover. Also, confirm that there is no space or foreign material between the storage module and docking module (see figure below). If the capsule is not seated in the bracket correctly, the communication error occurs on the remote alarm panel after 10 minutes and the capsule may transmit the signal because that the elec- trodes are shorted by water. MAINTENANCE Maintenance point Result Normal self Do the self test as follows: test Note: Hold the capsule by its handle during the test. This keeps foreign material away from the silicone grease on the capsule, and keeps the an- tenna of the capsule away from metallic objects or human body.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance point Result Extended self The extended self test involves both the normal self test and GPS test. Do test (normal the extended self test as follows: self test and Note: The extended self test reduces the lifetime of the battery. Do this test GPS test) once every three months.
MAINTENANCE test is conducted by a engineer authorized by the Ship’s Electric Installation Contractors’ Associ- ation of Japan. 2.2.3 Shore-Based Maintenance (SBM) The capsule of the Float-free DRU has the same functionality of an satellite EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon).
So, it is required to conduct the Shore-Based Maintenance (SBM) within five years from installation or previous SBM. If the fuses for the DCU have blown, replace them with the specified fuses (see page AP-3 for the fuse location). If the fuses blow again after replace- ment, contact a FURUNO agent or dealer. Have a qualified technician replace the fuse for Video LAN Converter and Sensor Adapter. MAINTENANCE Consumable Parts You can check the lifetimes of the consumable parts on the RAP screen (see 'Life Parts List' on page 11). Contact your dealer to replace the consumable parts. Unit Name Type Interval Indication on the RAP VR-7010 Battery CY1-1487-01.
MAINTENANCE Self Test The self test checks the ROM, RAM, connection, program no., keyboard, LCD performance and buzzer. The user can do the tests to help the service technician in troubleshooting.
How to open the test menu Press the TEST key on the RAP to show the test menu. Self Test LCD Test Buzzer Test. MAINTENANCE LCD test 1. Open the test menu. Use the cursorpad ( or ) to select LCD Test then press the ENT key. Each press of the ENT key changes the LCD pattern in the sequence shown below. Green Blue 16 tones of red.
MAINTENANCE Verification of Recording Function of the Long Term Device Verify the long term device recording function at the annual inspection and when repairing or maintaining the VDR or sensors connected to the VDR. The verification requires the Live Player V5. TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter provides information on possible causes of problems you may experience with your VDR.

Probably a dumb question, but I have not updated the software on my vx2 in quite some time and I am having the slow redraw rates using the new C-Map charts. Does the latest update include all the previous so that if I install 4.01 it will inlcude the fix for faster redraw times?
I have copied the files on the SD card and am ready to update (though nervous about screwing something up) but just want to make sure this will alleviate the issues. Member Posts: 1 Joined: Thu Oct 20, 2011 12:50 pm. Jupiter- The update will contain all the previous enhancements or corrections and will take care of the redraw problem with the new C-Map charts. If you followed the software download instructions and you follow the upload instructions it is highly doubtful you will mess anything up. However it is recommended that if you have a large number of waypoints, routes, or marks you might consider saving them on a separate SD card before you do the software upgrade. This is just a safety step in case something goes wrong, such as a loss of power, during the upgrade. But ordinarily all of your points will be retained.
Let us know how it worked out. Pat- Go to and under the products tab click on Previous Products. Then click on NavNet 1. From there find the model you have and select it. Under the software tab you will find our history that will tell you what changes/improvements have been made from your current version. You might find that your unit is already up to date or that a newer version does not add anything for your uses. If you wish to precede with an upgrade I strongly recommend that the unit be sent in to Furuno at our Camas facility and let us do it.
Unfortunately the NavNet One is not as easy as with the VX2 model. If you read the update instructions I believe you will agree.
If you wish to attempt this on your own please contact our technical service department for assistance.
