When SHIPDC appears here, it indicates that the 110/220V power has been cut off, and the SVDR system is
powered by the emergency power of the vessel. We can press ACK FLASH to stop flashing, press Mute to stop
buzzing and search for the causes. First, check if the power supply is still charged with electricity, and the
connection is good or not. If the connection is good, after plugging in the main power supply, the Remote Alarm
Panel will indicate AC power supply. In case of emergency, in order to save PDC data, it is necessary to press both
ACK FLASH and TEST buttons at the same time until backup 01 appears on the screen, and the data of latest
12 hours will be saved in the big Backup Disk forever. After successful backup, BACKUP 01 will appear on the
screen. SYSTEM OK indicates that the system is working normally.

2.3PDCconnecterror
When the PDC Connect Error appears, please remove the failure according to the below steps
1 Check the lamps status.
Switch off the power and check the N1-N5 lamps status. If the N2 lamp is light, please format the PDC
directly.

2 N2 lamp is off or the format fails.

2-1. Check the cable
If the N2 lamp is off and the cable is normal, please change the PDC.
Please first check the PDC plug type, which is used on Fixed PDC.

If the PDC plug is new type as above picture. Please check the voltage between the plug 5 and plug 6, which should
be the DC24V.
MCU Plug-------------------------------------------PDC Plug
Plug1-------------------------------------------Plug1
Plug2-------------------------------------------Plug2
Plug3-------------------------------------------Plug3
Plug4-------------------------------------------Plug4
Plug5-------------------------------------------Plug5

Gateway set as 192.168.0.1. Then connect the MCU and the laptop with download cable.
Please note that THE PDC CABLE MUST BE REMOVED AND THE wftpd32.exe MUST BE RUNNING.
Then please switch on the power of the MCU. If the PDC Connect Error is not shown on the RAP, it proves the
MCU works normally.
If the MCU is damaged, please continue the step 2-3 Check the MCU.
2-3 Check the MCU
2-3-1 If the PDC Connect Error is still shown on the RAP after step 2-1 and 2-2. Please check the A9 terminal in

the MCU. The voltage is DC24V between the PDC-5 and PDC-6 on the terminal.

2-3-2 This is the sister board, which is the processor board for the SVDR. Please note the network interface.

Please check whether the network interface connection is tight. If the connection is good, please check the PDC
plug and network interface wires.
This is the PDC plug. Please note the black wire (foot 6) and the yellow wire (foot 5), which should be connected
to the DC24V power. The PDC plug is connected to the A9 terminal. They are power wires. The blue wire, purple
wire, red wire and orange wire are used to transfer the data.

Please take out the CF card socket PCB. The processor is under the CF card socket PCB.
Please take out the blue wire, orange wire, red wire and purple wire of PDC plug from the A9 terminal. And then
take out the blue wire, orange wire, red wire and purple wire from A10 terminal. But the PDC plug power wires
should be connected to A9 terminal. Please connect them according to the following instruction. All are finished,
please switch on the power.
