Consilium VDR F2 - much more than a VDR
Easy retrieved data
The recorded data in the Consilium VDR F2 is easily retrieved from the unit’s storage devices and can be used for many types of analyzing, for instance after incidents and accidents.
With remote playback (optional) the data can be downloaded and viewed directly from the office via
any Internet connection. If required, an onboard wireless live connection to the VDR can be used as
an additional source of centralized information for the crew.
Flexible
The VDR F2 is based on a modular platform which easily can be adapted to any type of installation and extended if new requirements appear. This makes the F2 very suitable for both new buildings and
retrofits as well as for system integrators and suppliers of integrated bridge solutions.
User friendly
The system status is monitored and easily operated through a small size colour display. Full operational test including radar image check is performed with a simple user interface in the control unit. The USB port on the display can be used for fast and simple backup of recorded data.
Reliable
The VDR F2 is based on a platform designed by Consilium, in order to fulfil our own high demands
of quality and reliability. The hardware design is based on long experience from the marine industry and its functionality is well proven in use during operation on a large number of vessels all around the world. The VDR F2 system doesn’t includes any moving parts ensuring a minimum of service and maintenance.
Consilium Remote Monitoring
In order to provide a safe and efficient VDR system, Consilium has developed a remote monitoring
solution for the F1/S1 and F2 VDR generations. With the Consilium Remote Monitoring solution
Consilium VDRs can be accessed from shore for diagnostics, change of configuration and SW upgrades. This offers numerous benefits for the user in regards of cost efficiency, reduced aintenance and increased safety.
