Powering, Recording
On the power control panel in the DCU, turn
on the AC SUPPLY MAINS, DC SUPPLY
MAINS and BATTERY BACK-UP switches in
this order. Confirm that the NORMAL LED on
the power control panel and RAP lights. The

and backup HDD.
Stopping Recording
RECORDING MAY ONLY BE TERMINATED
IN THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES:
• During essential maintenance purposes
while the vessel is in port.
• When the vessel is laid-up.
To stop recording, turn off the BATTERY
BACK-UP, DC SUPPLY MAINS and AC
SUPPLY MAINS switches in this order. DO
NOT turn off the system by the main
breaker while the BATTERY switch is on. If
this is done, the system operates on the
batteries. The system stops after running on
batteries for 2 hours.
If an Incident Occurs
1. Press the SAVE button on the RAP until the SAVE LED (yellow) starts flashing.
• The SAVE LED (yellow) starts flashing and shortly thereafter lights. Then, recording to
the current memory area in the backup HDD in the Data Collecting Unit is stopped and
recording to another memory area starts. The memory in the backup HDD is divided
into four areas.
If you press the SAVE button on the RAP, one recording area stops recording. If you
press the SAVE button four times, all four areas stop recording. If you pressed the
SAVE button, consult a FURUNO dealer to restore the HDD after an investigation of
the incident is completed by the authorities.
• Recording at the Data Recording Unit continues.
Note: Do not press the SAVE button except when an incident occurs.
2. Press the ACK button on the RAP to silence the alarm buzzer.
3. Bring the backup HDD with you when leaving the vessel if possible. Do not turn off the
power.
1) Open the DCU with the key.
2) Pull the knob on the HDD holder to open it (see previous page).
3) Disconnect the IEEE1394 cable connected to the HDD.
4) Take out the HDD.
