Kentec S737 Voyager Data Recorder Interface PCB
Kentec S737 Voyager Data Recorder Interface PCBThe S737 Voyage Data Recorder VDR interface circuit board is installed in close proximity to the Syncro AS Marine fire control panel. It is powered from the panels Auxiliary 24volt supply output. When any fire faults disablement or panel control operations take place their details are passed to the VDR equipment over a RS485 2 core shielded cable connection.The VDR interface uses NMEA 0183 standard message format. The messages will include detection device address zone and event type up to 82 characters total. The Syncro AS Marine panel does not monitor the link to the VDR but sends a heartbeat message at 30 second intervals. This heartbeat message allows the VDR system to monitor and report any failures in the data connectionKey FeaturesNMEA 0183 message formatRS485 data connection to VDRHeartbeat sent every 30 secondsSmall board profilePanel poweredLow current consumptionPlease Note consideration must be taken as to the loading on the main panel.
