System Overview Totem VDR Block Diagram

The VDR Protective Memory Capsule • Contains 2 Gb flash disk, Ultrasonic location beacon, 2 handles, and 1 cable connection socket. • Stores data of the last 12 hours on a final recording medium inside the PMC. • Special storage capsule protects the final recording medium. • Designed to withstand the extreme shock, heavy impact, high pressure and heat, which could be associated with a maritime incident. VDR on board of a New Building • Easy installation on deck by 2 simple 300 mm welding.

VDR - Main Unit Cabinet • Cabinet contains Main Unit computer (PC), 15” monitor, keyboard, mouse and UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply). • PC contains CD-W for saving data on a CD (e. g. saving non catastrophic events). • UPS backup provides at least 2 hours continuous recording following a blackout. • Keyboard is locked inside the cabinet only authorized personal using a password can operate it. • Lower portion of cabinet, reserved for cables and terminals, provides easy installation and maintenance.
