Type 500 to DCU 305 R3 (LT)
Introduction
It is possible to re-wire from an existing installation that uses the type 500 series of
the Auto-Maskin engine panel to the newer DCU 305 R3 (LT) panel.
This document outlines the necessary steps for a successful transfer. It should
however not be seen as a complete guide.
Careful consideration must be taken with all wiring changes and all new sensor
configurations.
Carefully consult the installation manual for the DCU 305 R3 (LT) panel.

Magnetic Pickup Unit

The DCU 305 R3 must have an RPM signal from a magnetic pick-up, preferrably
installed on the flywheel.
The pickup used on the 500 panel may be used with the DCU 305 R3 (LT).
Example configuration
Below is an example of configuration of a switch channel, made in the Rudolf R3 for
the DCU 305 R3 (LT), for the Autostop channel Oil Press.
The sensor wires shall be moved from wire terminals 4 (27) on the 500 panel, to
terminals 7 (29) on the DCU 305 R3 (LT) panel. Terminal 7 is the switch channel #1
input, and terminal 29 is the 0 V reference for the sensor.
Note! The Broken Wire Detection option requires a 10k ohm ¼ watt resistor installed
over the NO switch.
Configuration software
The Rudolf R3 software can be downloaded here.
