qualified personnel. A person using this material is assumed to have 
basic knowledge in marine systems, and be able to carry out related 
electrical work. 

Work on the boats low-tension circuit should only be carried out by 
qualified and experienced persons. Installation or work on the shore 
power equipment 

must only

 be carried out by electricians authorised 

to work with such installations. 

It is the sole responsibility of the installer to ensure that the 
installation work is carried out in a satisfactorily manner, that it is 
operationally in good order, that the approved material and 
accessories are used and that the installation meet all applicable rules

Assumptions 

This document describes the DCU 305 R3 and DU 305 R3 LT, and it 
will commonly be referred to as the 

DCU

 or the 

Control Unit

When referring to voltages, we always assume DC-voltages. When 
referring to AC-voltages it will be mentioned explicitly. 

 

About the DCU 305 R3 and DCU 305 R3 LT 

In general 

The DCU 305 R3 is an electronic control unit for control and 
monitoring of diesel engines used as propulsion engines or gensets. 

Switches and senders from the engines are connected to the control 
unit on the wire terminal card RK-66.
