Location
The DCU is normally located in the engine room due to
the number of cables and wires from the engine sensors
and to reduce electrical noise levels, which might else
result from long cable stretches.
The DCU should be mounted at about eye level and the
user should have easy access to all buttons on the panel.
The DCU may be mounted on the engines supporting
structure provided shock absorbers are used either
between the structure and the engine, or between the
structure and the DCU. The DCU shall not be mounted
directly onto the engine due to vibrations.
The DCU should be mounted so that easy access to the
cable connections at the back is ensured. This might for
instance be accomplished by mounting it in a cabinet with
a hinged front panel.
