If the Fischer Panda 12 mini PMS Digital generator control panel only shows a small green light and will not start, one possible issue could be that the fuel solenoid valve is not open or the fuel line is not properly primed. The manual mentions that if the unit doesn't start, the pipe union nut may need to be unscrewed to allow air to escape, then the unit restarted. Once started, the pipe union nut should be tightened again. This suggests that air in the fuel line or a closed solenoid valve could prevent the generator from starting.

Page 6 Upgrades Far advantages: By your full information Fischer Panda technicians can give you fast assistance, since 90% of the disturbances result from errors in the periphery. Problems due to errors in the installation can be recognized in the apron.
Page 7: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions The electrical Installations may only be carried out be trained and tested personnel! The generator may not be taken into use with the cover removed. The rotating parts (belt-pulley, belts, etc) must be so covered and protected do that there is no danger to life and body! If a sound insulation covering must be produced at the place of installation, then well-placed signs must show that the generator can only be switched on with a closed capsule.

Mode of Operation of the Generator A.3 Operation of the generator with additional units A.3.1 General references The Panda generator is arranged that the operation of additional gensets, which are flanged on directly to the front cover of the generator, is possible. If such gensets are intended, this - if possi- ble - should be considered with the order of the generator.

Page 32: De-Aerating Of The Coolant Circuit / Freshwater
Maintenance Instructions B.6 De-aerating of the coolant circuit / freshwater Special notes for the ventilation of the cooling system If the cooling water is drained or if other air should have arrived into the cooling system, it is necessary to de-aerate the cooling system. This de-aerate procedure must be repeated several times: ATTENTION ! Before opening the de-aerating points the generator must be stagnant !!!
Page 33 Maintenance Instructions Fill in cooling water into the cooling water filler neck. If it is to be recognized that the cooling water level does not fall anymore (with cold cooling water the cooling water levelmust cover the sheet metal in the exhaust elbow), close the filler-cap and the cooling water screws and start the generator.

Page 48: Monitoring The Generator Voltage
Generator Failure Overloading the Generator with Electric Motors With the operation of electric motors it must be considered that these take up a multiple of their rated output as starting current (six to tenfold). If the power of the generator for the engine is not sufficient, the voltage in the generator breaks down after switching on the engine.

Page 53 Generator Failure Voltage control check procedure: 1. Switch off load. 2. Disconnect the power to the actuator. 3. Turn the actuator spindle manually to check if an adjusting nut is jammed. 4. Turn the actuator spindle manually to check if the adjusting nuts allow smooth spindle opera- tion.
Page 54: Vcs By-Pass Facility
Generator Failure C.3.5 VCS By-Pass Facility If there is a problem in the VCS which cannot be cured (e.g. awaiting parts), the generator can be run safely and normally with the VCS generator output monitor disconnected. The engine speed can then (if necessary) be adjusted as already described to produce the required voltage and the generator will run normally.
Page 55: Low Generator-Output Voltage
Generator Failure C.4 Low Generator-Output Voltage If the produced alternating voltage is too low, switch the load off, in order to relieve the generator. Mostly the problem already solved. If the output voltage is still too low, even if all load is switched off, the generator runs without load, you can assume one or more condensers are defective.
Page 56: Checking The Generator Voltage
Generator Failure Should a steady sound or no sound have to be heard, the capacitor is defective and must be replaced. In order to go surely that the capacitor has still its full capacity, use a capacity measuring instrument. The capacitors, which not achieve the imprinted capacity value at this measurement, should be exchanged as fast as possible.
Page 57: Checking The Coil(S) To Short-Circuit
Generator Failure C.4.5 Checking the coil(s) to short-circuit In order to check the coils for short-circuit, first all lines, which lead to the electrical system, must be interrupted. This happens on the power terminal box of the generator or, if available, in the electrical system junction box.
Page 58: Generator Provides No Voltage
Generator Failure C.5 Generator provides no Voltage C.5.1 Rotor Magnetism Loss and "Re-magnetizing" .ATTENTION! See “Safety Precautions” on Page vii. With asynchronous generators it can be the fact that the generator can not build up indepen- dently voltage after longer service lives, or, if it were switched off under full load. The cause lies in the fact that the rotor lost its remainder magnetism.

Energized to stop By pressing the „OFF“-button on the remote control panel the stop solenoid is supplied with voltage and operate, through this the injection nozzles resets to zero position and the generator stops.
Page 60: Dirty Fuel Filter
Generator Failure Damage to starter motor The starter is fitted with a free wheel or axial rotating spring cog, which prevents the starter being driven externally by means of the motor. The free wheel will be heavily worn, if the starter still operates, thereby causing damage to the springs, roller bearings or cog teeth.

Installation Instruction D.5 Watercooled Exhaust System By injecting the outlet raw water into the exhaust manifold, the exhaust gases are cooled and the noise emissions from the exhaust system are reduced. D.5.1 Installation of the standard exhaust system The generator exhaust system must remain completely independent and separate from the exhaust system of any other unit(s) on board.
Page 75: Exhaust / Water Separator
Installation Instruction D.5.2 Exhaust / water separator The exhaust/water separator In order to reduce the noise level of the generator unit to a minimum, an optional exhaust outlet muffler mounted next to the thru-hull fitting can be installed. Additionally there is component at ICEMASTER, which exercise both functions of a "exhaust goose neck", and the water separation.
Page 76: Installation Exhaust/Water Separator
Installation Instruction D.5.3 Installation exhaust/water separator If the exhaust/water separator was sufficiently highly installed, a goose neck is no longer neces- sary. The exhaust/water separator fulfills the same function. If the "Supersilent" exhaust system were installed correctly, the generator will not disturb your boat neighbour. The exhaust noise should be nearly inaudible.

Page 101 Tables E.5 Engine oil Engine oil classification Operating range: The operating range of an engine oil is determined by SAE class. "SAE" is for the union of American engineers (Society of Automotives Engineers). The SAE class of an engine oil only informs over the viscosity of the oil (lar- ger number = more viscous, lower number = more highly liquidly) e.g.
