Doppler log

JLN-740
High accuracy speed and distance log

www.jrc.am
Features
The JLN-740 series is a single axis water SDME compliant with
the IMO MSC.96 (72) standard, required on all internationally
voyaging ships exceeding 300 GT. Boasting never-before-seen
accuracy for speed measurement, the JLN-740 is also installed
with our company’s proprietary bubble detection function, which
informs you when measurement accuracy is impaired due to air
bubble contact.

• Highly accurate speed and distance log • Advanced interfacing

• Color touch display • Various accessories available
• Proprietary bubble detection • Various remote displays
• Intuitive operation • Supports remote maintenance
• Precise navigation during berthing • BAM compliant alert handling

The units feature a color LCD touch display for the main and sub displays, allowing you to view
important information and adjust brightness on all displays from a single location.

Precise ship speed tracking

The JLN-740 series utilizes digital signal processing, which, coupled with optimizations to
existing speed measurement waveforms and the reliability of ship bottom mounting, has
resulted in water speed measurement with accuracy up to 0.03kn or 0.3% in all models
(measured at fixed speeds)

That accuracy of information allows for highly fuel-efficient speeds, which means faster voyages
with less waste. Along with improved speed measurements, the series also has greatly improved
ship speed tracking, relaying all the information you need for precise navigation during berthing.

Touch operation
With just one physical power button, the 5-inch color main display and 6.5 and 8.4-inch for the remote
displays are operated by touch operation. The touch screens can be easily read during daylight but also
in darkness, with excellent clarity, even when viewed from a wide angle. All displays feature dimmable
backlighting and have a graphical user interface is logical, easy to use and consistent throughout. All
displays are designed for the industrial environment found onboard of ships, ensuring years of problem
free operation.

Cost-effective operation
The doppler speed log is also available with a cost-effective
4.5-inch display with the main data displayed in large characters
of easy reading. In addition that the display is fully dimmable and
has backlit keys, it features dual LED backlight (white and orange)
making it easy to operate in various light settings on the bridge.

Remote support RMS

The JLN-740 supports the JRC original Remote Maintenance System (RMS), one of the core elements
of JRC’s customer operations support philosophy. With the VDR connected through LAN, the JLN-740
doppler log can be monitored from shore using JRC’s FB or GX satellite communications system. This
allows a cost-effective determination of the operating status, software version installed but also firmware
can also be updated through J-Marine Cloud.
Bubble detection
A long-unsolvable problem with doppler-based water
speed measuring systems was reduced accuracy
from bubbles making contact with the measuring
device on the bottom of the vessel. The JLN-740
series detects when bubbles contact the transducer,
and using proprietary technology from JRC alerts
you of reduced measuring accuracy via the display.
Confirming the source of the issue typically requires
visually examining the device on the bottom of the
ship. However, onboard air bubble detection allows
you to skip unnecessary preventive maintenance.

Distribution processor
This speed log incorporates a highly reliable interfacing field. You can easily
connect a wide range of additional equipment to optimize your configuration. A
second display, smaller remote displays and analog indicators are just a few of
the possibilities. The JLN-740 can also output the measurement information to
radar and ecdis.

Signal processor
The transducer room has a quite bad environment with regard to vibration
and humidity, therefore, before signal is distributed to various equipment, the
transducer is directly connected to the processor, minimizing loss of signal
and extending cable length to hundreds of meters.
 Transducer
The transducer is compact and constructed of light weight moulded rubber, to
minimize the effects on aeration, which allows stable and accurate operation.

Gate valve
Using an optional gate valve transducer allows for long-term cost saving and
easy maintenance as dry docking is not necessary.

IMO compliant
The JLN-740 series is designed according to the latest IMO regulations on all internationally-voyaging
vessels exceeding 300 GT and meets the standards for the IEC environmental test standards. When
used with JRC’s satellite log JLN-720, ships exceeding 50,000 GT will meet the requirements for IMO
MSC.334(90).

IMO Environment
v MSC.96(72) v IEC 60945 Navigation and radiocommunication equipment 2002

JRC is continuously developing and evaluating new products, based on future IMO requirements that
will contribute to your future safety and navigation at sea.

Snap on mounting
Our standard main touch screen display and two remote displays
feature our famous and unique snap on flush mount system,
making it possible to fit the display without tools. The display
can easily be pushed into the frame and kept in position by a
click/spring system. As a result, a minimal amount of screws or
mounting bolts are visible and allows for easy maintenance.

System diagram
The JLN-740 is available in four configurations. For large vessels, we have a four-unit setup enabling
data sharing of radar, ECDIS and other navigation equipment and for smaller vessel a three-unit setup.
In both unit configurations, you can choose from a high quality color touch display or a cost-effective
black and white display.
