The JRC JLN-740N is an IMO type-approved, single-axis Doppler Speed Log designed specifically for commercial vessels requiring standard output distribution. The “N” designation denotes the 3-unit system configuration—omitting the extra distribution processor found on the “A” model—making it a streamlined, space-saving solution for bridge consoles that interface directly with standard navigation networks.
Operating on a high-frequency 2 MHz dual-beam pulse Doppler frequency, the JLN-740N measures Speed Through Water (STW) with extreme precision ($\pm 0.03\text{ knots}$ stability). It incorporates JRC’s proprietary bubble detection system to continuously check transducer face contact and alert operators if aeration interferes with tracking accuracy.
Key Features & Operational Capabilities
-
Streamlined 3-Unit Architecture (Model N): Consists solely of the Main Display, Signal Processor, and Transducer Unit—reducing overall system footprint and cable routing requirements.
-
Dual-Beam 2 MHz Doppler Technology: Uses high-frequency ultrasonic beams to achieve fast, stable speed measurements during both high-speed transit and low-speed berthing maneuvers.
-
Integrated Bubble Detection: Monitors signal return quality in real time; warns bridge officers if aerated water/hull bubbles compromise accuracy to prevent false system fault troubleshooting.
-
Color Touch Screen Interface: Features the optional NWZ-510SDW 5.1-inch color touch-panel LCD display (or standard 4.5-inch display) with customizable day/night color schemes and intuitive touch menu navigation.
-
JRC RMS Ready: Compatible with JRC’s Remote Maintenance System (RMS) over LAN for remote health status monitoring and preventative maintenance reporting.
