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
display, engine control, monitoring, alarm, parameter setting and
