Headway HMT 100

Voyager Data Recorder Headway HMT 100 also known as the marine "black box", performs the function of collecting and storing all critical navigation information. This information is extremely important for analyzing the events taking place on board the ship, regardless of their scale.

System components:

Main Control Unit (MCU):

• It runs on the Vxworks operating system, which is famous for its stability and adaptability.
• With a power of 25 watts and no need for ventilation, the unit is designed to prevent dust pollution.
• It has a variety of PNP interfaces, providing ease of configuration and debugging in real time, which simplifies data loading.
• The system stands out for its reliability, does not require constant attention and is able to work in extreme conditions.
• The components are manufactured using high-quality materials, guaranteeing a long service life.
• Support is provided through an extensive global network of service centers.

Main and Backup power supply units (PSUs):

• They automatically adjust to a voltage of 110/220 V and a frequency of 50/60 Hz.
• In case of disconnection of the main power supply, the system can switch to a 24 V backup power supply.
• In case of power loss, the system is supported by batteries for up to two hours to record sound, while the batteries can last up to three years without replacement.

System Error Testing and Notification Unit (RAU):

• Monitors the VDR system using audio and visual signals for notification.
• The LCD display makes it easier to diagnose and fix errors.
• The backup function allows you to save data for up to 12 hours for playback, with the ability to create up to 30 copies.

Microphone:

• It has an integrated design, aesthetic appearance and is easy to install.
• It is equipped with a self-diagnosis function to ensure the continuity of sound recording even in case of damage.
• It is capable of transmitting sound over considerable distances.

Data playback software:

• Intuitive user interface, easy to install and operate.
• The online playback function allows you to monitor the status of the main devices on the bridge.
• Facilitates the process of extracting and analyzing data from a secure capsule.
• It can be used for educational purposes, providing access to all recorded data.

Secure Data Capsule (Reliable Protective Data Capsule):

• It is produced using modern technologies and is available from a limited number of manufacturers.
• Complies with the IEC61996 standard, withstanding extreme conditions, including high temperatures and pressure at depths up to 6000 meters.

Free floating protected capsule (Float-Free Protective Data Capsule):

• Includes S-VDR and GMDSS satellite beacon data for location determination.
• It floats up after falling into the water, which makes it easier to detect and extract it.

Additional features:

• Data is transmitted via Ethernet.
• The hard drive has a capacity of 2 to 9 GB.
• The built-in GPS beacon operates at frequencies of 406 and 121.5 MHz.
• The batteries ensure the operation of the system for at least 7 days.
• The kit includes an automatic decompression device and a hook for capsule extraction.
