 PRODUCT SUMMARY #1/1

Sound Reception
System (MSR-9200A) An acoustical electronic navigational system (MSR-9200A) For
totally enclosed bridge space.

- E 400 Sound reception system

401 The Sound reception system (SRS) shall be capable of detecting sound signals from ship whistles operating in the audio band 70 Hz - 820 Hz whilst
suppressing wind and mechanical noise within this band as well as frequencies outside this band. The SRS performance shall endure microphones being
located in a position having an ambient noise level of 70 dB(A).
402 The SRS shall have means for muting of audio signals up to 75 dB(A) to adjust for more severe ambient noise levels in rough weather. If the means
provided for muting involves mechanical adjustment by the operator the pertinent UID shall indicate the muting threshold in steps of no more than 3 dB(A).
403 The SRS shall include filters suppressing background noise from wind and own ship/s machinery letting only sounds having a characteristics reckoned to
be a ship’s whistle pass through.
Guidance note:
Sufficient noise suppression can normally only be obtained by digital filtering techniques.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
404 The SRS shall be capable of determining the approximate direction to the source of the sound signal.
The SRS shall as a minimum indicate the source of the sound signal being to port or starboard side and forward
or abaft of the beam.

Sectors of ambiguity

S

405 The accuracy of the determination of the applicable quadrant shall be within ±5º.
Guidance note: The sectors of ambiguity (s) along the longitudinal and transversal axis of the ship shall either be insignificant (<10º) or be determined and
indicated as separate directions (sectors). If a higher resolution than the 4 sectors is provided, (typically 4n where n = 2, 4, etc.), then the accuracy
requirements applies analogous to the separation of the available directions (sectors).
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
406 The resolution of direction to the source of the sound signal shall not be lesser than the four quadrants plus the four sectors of ambiguity.
Guidance note: If a dual axis display (e.g. a CROSS or 4 LEDs) is used for visually presenting the direction to the signal source then two axes or two LEDs
should be used to represent the accurate quadrant. When the direction to the signal source is within the longitudinal or transversal sectors of ambiguity only
one axis or LED shall lit to enhance the perception of the direction by the user.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
Guidance note: If an SRS makes use of 4 microphones located in a defined configuration comparing the signal time delay involving the two signals
(microphones) on the same axis this time difference is a function of the direction of the incidence of the signal and will approach zero when the axis of
incidence is near normal to the axis of the microphones. The accuracy with which the SRS can determine the time delay will determine the sector of ambiguity.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
407 The sound reception display shall give a clear visual indication of the direction for at least the duration of the sound signal plus 2 seconds. The direction
(or quadrant) shall be clearly readable by day and by night on a distance of not less than 2 meters.
408 The loudspeaker(s) should be installed so that incoming sound signals are audible at all working positions inside the wheelhouse for which the OOW has
been assigned tasks.
409 The microphones shall be installed away from noise sources and in lee of strong wind and otherwise abide by the instructions of the manufacturer.
410 The system shall be muted upon activation of own ship’s whistle and outdoor PA-system.
411 Sound intensity in the wheelhouse: It shall be possible to adjust the sound intensity level (volume) of the loudspeaker.
412 The volume knob of the loudspeaker shall have a mark of the position where the sound level in the wheelhouse is alike the sound level at the outdoor
listening post.
Guidance note: The OOW shall be able to set the sound intensity of the reproduced signal measured 1 m from the loudspeaker(s) in 2

the wheelhouse (with all bridge windows and doors closed) to the same level as the sound intensity that is measured outside the wheelhouse at a location
