Installation
Installation covers panel location,
wiring and first power-on.
Panel location
This section gives basic guidelines for
installing the different panels.
DCU 210E
The panel is normally located in the
engine room for a number of reasons.
The main reasons are:
Local operation and overview.
Minimize cabling requirements
and cost from sensors to panel.
Reduce of electrical noise levels
resulting from long cables.
DCU 208E
This panel is also normally installed in
the engine room, close to the engine.
Unlike the DCU 210E and the RP
210E/220E the DCU 208E is installed
on a din-rail.
The panel does not have a user
interface and is normally used in
unmanned engine rooms.
A RP 210E/220E remote panel is used
to bring the signals from the engine
room to a monitoring site, e.g. bridge
or wheelhouse.
RP 210E/220E
The RP remote panel is normally
located at a remote place away from
the engine room, but it can also be
used in the engine room.
Compatible panel series
Note that the 200 series panel can be
used together with the 400 series
panels.
For instance can a RP 210E/220E
remote panel be used to monitor a
DCU 410 engine panel.
General
Panels with a screen should be
mounted at about eye level and the
user should have easy access to
operate the panel.
Ensure easy access to the rear wiring.
The panel 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 panel
enclosure.
