August, 2005 • MarineNews 23 in the aviation headset market,” says

Keith LeBlanc, Marine Product Manager at David Clark Company. “We have also produced communication intercom sys- tems for other high-noise applications, including thousands of emergency and public safety vehicles, so the marine mar- ket is a natural for our expertise.” “Commercial vessels, especially those used in the law enforcement and special operations sectors, typically take water over the bow and need to keep on target and on mission,” says LeBlanc. “In addi- tion, there are several potential sources of electrical interference in marine applica- tions that can adversely affect sound qual- ity, as well as the generally corrosive con- ditions from salt and spray.”

To meet these challenges, the Series 9500 Marine Intercom System is designed for water and corrosion resistant commu- nication solution. Master station and belt stations feature watertight RFI shielded enclosures for increased reliability.

Noise-attenuating headsets are equipped with corrosion-resistant stainless steel hardware, waterproof connectors and water-resistant, noise-canceling M-87 electret microphones to ensure clear trans- mission.

Beier Radio Offers

New Yacht System

Beier Radio has introduced a docking and maneuvering system that is designed to give yacht owners total control of their vessel. Beier Radio’s Integrated Vessel

Control System, Beier IVCS2000, pro- vides mega yacht owners and captains the most precise and safe movement for their vessel, no matter what the conditions.

While maneuvering a large yacht, the captain has many different controls to set and monitor. With the Beier IVCS2000 the captain controls his engines, rudders and thrusters automatically with the push of a button or manually with a single joy- stick control.

In many cases it will reduce the number of crewmembers required during docking.

It also reduces wear and tear on gears as it clutches from full forward to full reverse faster than any person can. In addition, owners who want to be “hands–on” can operate their yacht with as little as 15 minutes of training.

The Beier IVCS2000 interfaces all sys- tems on a vessel to one control station.

The vessel’s steering system, propulsion system, thrusters, gyro compass, annenometer and DGPS are all integrated into, and controlled by the Beier

IVCS2000. “This system was created because the marine industry was lacking a user friend- ly, service friendly and affordable sys- tem,” says Beier. “Our system, in an emergency or critical situation, can hold a vessel in a given spot at the push of a but- ton, and it can take an engine from full forward to full reverse faster and smoother than any person or any other system.”

Prior to the development of the Beier

IVCS2000, independent manual and semi-automatic control systems were the norm. The only automatic control systems were large, expensive and captain unfriendly commercial systems. Parts and components of these systems were proprietary, in addition to being very expensive, and had to be ordered, deliv- ered and installed by engineers. Previous 10 HP, adjustable from 0 to 15
