Netwave NW-6000 VDR |
Product description |
|
-
The Netwave NW-6000 VDR has a versatile design. It can be installed
in
a 19” rack
or can be supplied in a bulkhead mounted casing. It can
either be
placed inside
the navigation console or against any flat
surface.
Because of
its Power-Over-Ethernet
design, cable running is
reduced to the minimum.
-
The benefit is faster (and therefore more economical) installation and ease
of service.
Because of the special design, the Netwave VDR can easily be
adapted for any type of
newbuilding installations as part of IBS, or being used
to replace older VDR solutions.
-
Contrary to most other systems on the market, NetWave’s NW-6000 VDR
system
architecture is unique in the fact that the various components throughout
the ship
are interconnected by means of one single Ethernet cable, Both Power
and Data are
provided over this very same single cable, eliminating the need for
extensive and
complex, and therefore costly, cabling requirements.
Compared to other VDR systems,
cabling costs are typically reduced by 50%!

Netwave NW-6000 S-VDR |
Product description |
|
-
Netwave’s Simplified VDR technology is scalable to support both
system
requirements
based on the same foundation components but
designed with
ease of installation
and particularly retrofit installation
requirements in mind.
-
In 2004 amendments to Regulation 20 of SOLAS Chapter V introduced
a requirement
for a simplified version of a VDR – to assist in casualty
investigations,
cargo ships,
when engaged on international voyages.
S-VDRs are equally relevant in terms of data capture of operational
activity
on board
the vessel, but an S-VDR is required to collect less
information.
-
Essentially, both systems collect and protect data of incidents or
events
on board for a
minimum of 12 hours of uninterrupted recording.
Both devices require bridge microphones, radar video and VHF audio
to capture
navigational data but the full VDR has additional
compulsory channels to be
recorded,
for example echo sounder,
propulsion, water tight doors, fire detection.
