Totem Plus VDR 2014 – Voyage Data Recorder

Totem Plus VDR 2014 – Voyage Data Recorder

The Totem VDR 2014 is a state-of-the-art Voyage Data Recorder that fully complies with the latest International Maritime Organization (IMO) requirements.  The Totem VDR 2014 incorporates essential features mandated by the IMO, including a float-free capsule, 48-hour data storage in both the protective fixed capsule and float-free capsule, and a separate audio track for outdoor microphones. It also records data from various ship systems such as ECDIS, radars, AIS, and inclinometer, ensuring comprehensive data collection for analysis and investigation purposes. One of the notable advantages of the Totem VDR 2014 is its remote maintenance capability facilitated by the Totem Cellular Router (TCR). This innovative feature minimizes the need for onboard visits by technicians, resulting in reduced maintenance costs for vessel owners. Additionally, the VDR offers a conning display on its monitor, eliminating the need for a separate redundant display system.

The Totem VDR 2014 provides convenient means for extracting stored data through USB, DVD, and LAN interfaces, enabling easy access to recorded information. Its 19″ monitor ensures clear visibility of recorded items, facilitating monitoring, replay, and diagnosis. Furthermore, the VDR offers high-quality single-channel recording for every microphone and VHF, with 10 independent channels available as standard. Equipped with a built-in Siemens S7 PLC, the Totem VDR 2014 allows seamless integration with a wide range of binary or analog inputs, enabling the readout of non-NMEA systems. This enhances the system’s versatility and compatibility with diverse onboard equipment.
