Dimensions TAD1351GE also includes advanced facilities for diagnostics and fault tracing
Not for installation – The instruments and controls connect to the engine via the CAN
SAE J1939 interface, either through the Control Interface Unit
(CIU) or the Digital Control Unit (DCU). The CIU converts the
digital CAN bus signal to an anolog signal, making it possible to
connect a variety of instruments. The DCU is a control panel with
1391 display, engine control, monitoring, alarm, parameter setting and
diagnostic functions. The DCU also presents error codes in clear
text.
– Sensors for oil pressure, oil temp, boost pressure, boost temp,
coolant temp, fuel temp, water in fuel, fuel pressure and two
speed sensors.
