For updated information, please contact your dealer. 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.
The DCU 305 R3 LT is identical to the DCU 305 R3 with the exception that the LT version is without CAN bus capability. The DCU 305 R3 LT has the physical CAN bus port, but there is no support for CAN bus internally.
The DCU 305 and the RK-66 is part of the standard delivery that makes a complete system. The other items are optional. Remote panel The optional RSP 305 Remote Panel can be added any time, as it communicates directly towards the DCU 305 R3, and is self- configuring. Page 8 (44)
For safety reasons, no parameters are adjustable without using the configuration tool Rudolf. No settings are necessary in the DCU 305 R3, nor in Rudolf, to connect and use the Rudolf program. Just connect the cable between your laptop PC and port P3 on the control unit.

Connect the two cables between the RK-66 and the control unit. The RK-66 wire terminal unit Now, connect the rest of the wires and complete the installation by connecting power to the supply inputs. Terminals 1 and 2 are for the start battery supply, and terminals 3 and 4 are from the auxiliary supply.
20V. 12V supply installations The DCU 305 R3 is a 24V system, but can be used in 12V systems using an external DC/DC converter. The configuration in Rudolf must be switched to fit a 12V system.
Pickup sensors Connect the pickup 1 between terminal 5 and 6. Please verify that the signal strength is between 2.5-30Vpp. Note: The pickup cable must be shielded to ground, not to 0V. Two pickups If two pickups are being used, connect the second pickup to terminal 65 and 66.

Channel Broken Wire Backup on Warning, Alarm and Detection possibility Shutdown Shutdown possibility channels 7-12 Note: Do not connect +24V to the switch inputs! All input switches must be connected via its corresponding wire terminal to 0V, not to ground. Please see the schematic drawing page 35. Connecting the Switches Connect the warning, alarm and/or shutdown switches according to the project documentation and drawings.
Example: a wire break detection installation on switch channel 1 should have a switch connected between terminal 7 (channel 1) and terminal 29 (0V reference) The 10k resistor must be connected across the switch, not across the terminals 7 and 29. Analogue Input Channels The control unit has five industrial-standard 4-20mA inputs.
Page 17
Note: Analogue channel one only, can be configured as a 0 channel. The dipswitch J12 inside the unit must be set as follows: 0-20mA / 4-20mA 0-10V Please note that this is applicable for analogue channel one only! Default setting is 0 20mA / 4-20mA.
Minimum cable curve is 8x the cable diameter (ie it should not be bent too sharp). It must not be deformed in any way. On the DCU 305 R3 port P10, CAN_H is pin 7 and CAN_L is pin 2. No other pins should be connected. The shield should normally be connected at one end only, but in certain installations with a long cable it may be favorable to connect it at both ends.

(which is common), each should have a 120ohm resistor connected at the end. The DCU 305 R3 has a 120ohm resistor internally. If the DCU is not at the end of the bus, a “CAN-card without J1” must be ordered and fitted.
Miscellaneous connections Please also refer to the schematics, page 35, for the following connections. Remote Start Remote Start works as the local Start Button. Connect terminal 31 to terminal 30 to engage. Remote Stop Remote Stop works as the local Stop Button, except it is immediate Connect terminal 32 to terminal 30 to engage.
The automatic fuses on the RK-66 module The RK-66 wire terminal card has six automatic fuses. Fuses F1, F2 and F5 are used by the DCU 305 R3 to secure internal circuits. These fuses are of type Raychem Polyswitch™ type RXE090.
Rudolf R3. You may use these settings and skip this chapter entirely. Overview In the (unlikely) event of failure in the DCU 305 R3 main microcontroller, the built-in backup system will detect this, and activate the common alarm output relay.

See the Appendix page Error! Bookmark not defined. for details. MS is the most significant value whereas LS is the least significant value.
The DIP-settings are for selection of the shutdown channels. All of the channels 1-6 that are configured as shutdown must have its corresponding DIP set to ON. In the example below, channels 1, 2 and 6 are set as shutdown channels.
Alarm text Comment Overspeed Engine running faster than the overspeed setpoint. Engine Stopped Engine stopped for no known reason. Engine failed to stop 60 seconds after issuing the stop command, the engine has still not stopped. Start Failure Engine failed to start after the last start attempt. Pickup failure Unable to read the pickup signal while engine is running.
Overspeed test This section describes how to enter the RPM Test mode. In test mode, the Overspeed Setpoint (typically 1725 rpm) is reduced to Nominal Setpoint (typically 1500 rpm). Note: The actual setpoints may vary from the above example. Consult the Rudolf configuration.
In addition to the nine relays found on the RK-66 terminal board, an optional relay unit may be connected. The optional MK-14 unit, which add 14 relay channels to the DCU 305 R3. The function on each relay is configured using the configuration tool Rudolf R3.
Page 28
Available signals to the relay unit These are all the available signals in the DCU 305 R3 that can be routed to any of the relays on the relay cards. Relay K7 and K9 on the terminal card RK-66 are configurable in the same manner.

Analogue unit AK-6 The analogue unit AK-6 connects directly into the DCU 305 R3. Another six 4-20 mA channels are then available in the control unit, to make a total of 11 channels. The unit has two 15-pin D-SUB connectors. One connects directly to the control unit.
Page 31
Connections The fifth analogue input on the RK-66 unit (terminal 27 and 28) becomes the first analogue input on the AK-6 card. If there is a connection at terminal 27 and 28 on the RK-66 card, move these to terminal 1 and 2 on the AK-6 card. Consider the following table when using the AK-6 analogue expansion unit.
In addition the DCU 305 R3 has the J1939 CAN bus communication protocol built-in. On the DCU 305 R3 port P10 is dedicated to CAN communication. For further description, please see installation manual for DCU 305 R3.
