The JRC JLN-740A is an IMO type-approved, single-axis (Speed Through Water – STW) Doppler Speed Log designed for commercial vessels above 300 GT. The “A” model designation denotes the 4-unit system configuration (incorporating a dedicated Distribution Processor unit alongside the signal processor, main display, and transducer) intended for expanded sensor output distribution across bridge networks.
Operating on a 2 MHz dual-beam pulse Doppler frequency, the JLN-740A utilizes digital signal processing to deliver high-precision speed tracking (down to 0.03 knots or 0.3% error at constant speeds). It features JRC’s proprietary bubble detection technology, which automatically monitors and alerts bridge staff if aerated water/bubble interference reduces speed measurement accuracy.
Key Features & Operational Capabilities
-
Dual-Beam 2 MHz Doppler Engine: Uses high-frequency pulse Doppler beams to measure Speed Through Water (STW) with enhanced response rates during low-speed berthing maneuvers.
-
Proprietary Bubble Detection: Continuously checks transducer face contact; flags aeration warnings on the display to eliminate false maintenance checks caused by hull bubbles.
-
4-Unit Expanded Architecture (Model A): Includes the NQA-7040 Distribution Processor, providing ample serial, analog, and pulse outputs for ECDIS, Radar, VDR, and slave repeaters.
-
Color Touch Screen Display (Option/Standard): Available with a 5.1-inch color touch-panel LCD display (NWZ-510SDW) or standard 4.5-inch monochrome display, offering intuitive night dimming and operational modes.
-
JRC RMS Compatibility: Integrates with JRC’s Remote Maintenance System (RMS) via LAN for remote health diagnostic reporting.
