FOREWORD
A Word to the Owner of the VR-7000/7000S
Congratulations on your choice of the FURUNO Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) VR-7000/Simplified Voyage Data Recorder (S-VDR) VR-7000S. We are confident you will see why the FURUNO
name has become synonymous with quality and reliability.
Since 1948, FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for innovative and
dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global network of agents and dealers.
Your equipment is designed and constructed to meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless properly installed and
maintained. Please carefully read and follow the operation and maintenance procedures set forth
in this manual.
We would appreciate feedback from you, the end-user, about where we are achieving our purposes.
Thank you for considering and purchasing FURUNO equipment.
What is a VDR?
A VDR records various data and events encountered aboard ship. The purpose of the VDR is to
help investigators locate the causes of marine incidents.
The revised SOLAS Chapter V requires the installation of VDRs on passenger ships of 150 GT
and above on all voyages and other ships of 3000 GT and above on international voyages and for
newly built ships on and after 1 July, 2002.
The basic VR-7000/7000S consists of a Data Collecting Unit (DCU), a Data Recording Unit
(DRU), a Remote Alarm Panel (RAP), a video LAN converter, a sensor adapter and microphones
to record bridge audio. A Junction Box (JB) is optional. The DCU contains the Data Processor
Unit, interface modules and backup batteries. It collects data from sensors as required by the IMO
and IEC standards. The DCU processes the incoming data and information in the order of occurrence while old data is overwritten with new data for storage in the DRU for 48 hours. The batteries
supply power to the DCU to record bridge audio for two hours in case of a ship’s mains power
failure.
The flash memory in the DRU stores the data coming from the DCU. All essential navigation and
status data including bridge conversation, VHF communications, and radar images are recorded.
The data can be retrieved by using playback software for investigation after an incident.
The Fixed DRU* components are embodied in a protective capsule. The capsule ensures survival
and recovery of the recorded data after an incident. An acoustical pinger helps locate the Fixed
DRU underwater.
The capsule of the Float-free DRU* is stored in the bracket. When the Float-free DRU sinks to
depths of up to four meters, the capsule automatically comes off from the bracket then floats on
the sea surface. At the same time, the capsule starts to transmit 406 MHz signal for locating the
position of capsule and 121.5 MHz signal for homing for at least 168 hours.
*: Select one for VR-7000S.

If ship’s mains power source (100-230 VAC) and emergency source fail, the VR-7000/7000S continues to record bridge audio for two hours from backup batteries.
Continuity of storing data
The VDR should be provided with power to store data for over 48 hours (for Fixed DRU and Floatfree DRU) or over 720 hours (for long term device of the DCU) on a first-in, first-out basis. Recording is terminated only under the following conditions:
• During essential maintenance while the vessel is in port.
• When the vessel is laid-up.
Data Collecting Unit
The DCU mainly consists of a Data Processor Unit and Power Control Panel. The DCU includes
batteries with a lifetime of approximately four years. The DCU collects the data from various sen-

sors radar/ECDIS and records them in the Fixed DRU, Float-free DRU and internal long term device.
Recording interval of data and audio is as follows:
• Radar/ECDIS video signal: every 15 seconds
• Bridge and VHF audio: real time
• 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.
No. of pcs Storage time Video signal channels recorded at the same time
1 SSD (512 GB) 720 hours Up to 5 channels*
2 SSDs (1 TB) Up to 6 channels*
*: The recording interval for 3 channels is 15 seconds, which is compliant with IEC61996-1 Ed.2
and IEC61996-2 Ed.2. Other channels record a maximum of four video signals at intervals of 15
seconds, using the time-division method.
For VR-7000S, there are four save areas (Area1, 2, 3, 4) in the long term device(s). Each area
can record data for 12 hours.
Data Recording Unit
Fixed DRU
The Fixed DRU is housed in a highly visible protective capsule which can withstand a fire of
1,100°C for one hour and deep-sea pressure of 6,000 m.
The underwater acoustic beacon (pinger) on the capsule automatically transmits 10 ms pulses at
37.5 kHz for at least 90 days when it is submerged in water. The expected life of the beacon battery is three years.
Float-free DRU
The capsule of the Float-free DRU has the same functionality of an satellite EPIRB (Emergency
Position-Indicating Radio Beacon). The VDR data is recorded in the storage module at the bottom
of capsule.
The DCU feeds the VDR data to the bracket of the Float-free DRU through the LAN cable, then
the bracket feeds the data to the capsule by wireless communication.
The capsule of the Float-free DRU is stored in the bracket. When the Float-free DRU sinks to
depths of up to four meters, the capsule is automatically released from the bracket then floats to
the sea surface. At the same time, the capsule starts to transmit 406 MHz signal for locating the
position of capsule and 121.5 MHz signal for homing for at least 168 hours.
Note: Select fixed DRU or float-free DRU for VR-7000S.
Data items to be recorded
Note: If the sensor data is input to the DCU through an external unit (sensor adapter, junction box,
etc.), the input of the sensor data is delayed because of the communication lag between the DCU
and external unit.

1. 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 navigator, Loran-C receiver or other EPFS or INS available on standard serial interface. The source
of data is identifiable on playback.
Speed (water and/or ground): Speed through the water (STW) or speed over the ground (SOG)
is recorded. The resolution is 0.1 kn. Transverse speed is also indicated when available on board.
Heading (true, magnetic): Heading is recorded to a resolution of 0.1°. The data is labeled G (gyrocompass), GPS, GLONASS, MAG. If heading information is not available in IEC 61162 format,
an appropriate interface may be necessary.
Depth (echo sounder): Depth under keel up to a resolution of 0.1 m as available on the ship is
recorded.
Alarms: The status of all IMO mandatory alarms is recorded individually with ID number and time
stamp. Audible alarms from the alarm units are stored simultaneously by the bridge audio microphones.
Rudder order/response: Rudder order and response angles are recorded up to a resolution of
1° as available on the ship. The rudder information is recorded. If more than one rudder is provided, the circuitry can be duplicated.
Engine order/response: The DCU obtains the engine order and response from the engine telegraph or direct engine control. The engine parameters with shaft revolution and ahead/astern indicators are recorded to a resolution of 1 rpm.
All order and response from bow, stern, thruster, tunnel thrusters and controllable pitch propellers
shall be recorded.
Hull openings, watertight doors: Digital and serial signals can be input individually. The data is
stored with time stamps.
Accelerations and hull stresses: The DCU obtains signals from appropriate hull stress and response monitoring devices. The inputs are recorded individually and stored with time stamps.
Wind speed and direction: The DCU obtains the signal from appropriate wind speed and direction sensor. The inputs are recorded individually and stored with time stamps. The wind speed resolution is 1 unit (1 kn, 1 m/s, etc.). The wind direction resolution is 1°.
VDR alarm output: If, as an option, such messages are sent then the appropriate sentence formats are ALF and ALC.
Radar/ECDIS data: Radar/ECDIS image is recorded in the Fixed DRU, Float-free DRU and long
term device via the LAN or the video LAN converter. Range rings, EBLs, VRMs, plotting symbols,
radar maps, parts of SENC, voyage plan, and other essential navigational indications are included
in the recorded radar image. Own ship’s mark and position (latitude and longitude), course, speed,
voyage plan, and other essential navigational indications are included in the recorded ECDIS image. One complete picture frame is captured at intervals of 15 s. Scanning may be interlaced or
non-interlaced.
