The Panda Generator Thermo-switch at exhaust connection If the impeller pump drop out and deliveres no more raw water, the exhaust connection becomes extremely hot. 98/83° C Fig. A.3.8-3: Thermo-switch at exhaust connection Thermo-switch at the endshield The generator bearing is equipped with an oil thermoswitch, which switches the engine off if the oil temperature becomes to high.
The Panda Generator Oil pressure switch In order to be able to monitore the lubrica- ting oil system, an oil pressure switch is built into the system. The oil pressure switch is on the back of the engine (next to the DC-alternator).
Page 38
The Panda Generator Oil dipstick At the dipstick the permissible level is indi- cated by the markings "maximum" and "minimum". The engine oil should be never filled up beyond the maximum conditions. Fig. A.3.9-2: Oil dipstick Oil filter The oil filter should be exchanged with an oil change.
The Panda Generator A.3.10External components External fuel pump The Panda generator is always supplied with an external, electrical (12V of DC) fuel pump. The fuel pump must be always installed in the proximity of the tank. The electrical connections with the lead plan- ned for it are before-installed at the genera- tor.
Sample picture Tips regarding Starter Battery Fischer Panda recommends normal starter battery use. If an genset is required for extreme win- ter conditions, then the starter battery capacity should be doubled. It is recommended that the starter battery be regularly charged by a suitable battery-charging device (i.e., at least every 2 Months).

The Panda Generator A.4.3 Starting Generator - see remote contrrol panel datasheet A.4.4 Stopping the Generator- see remote contrrol panel datasheet A.4.5 Starting the Generator by a „Failure bypass switch“ There is a "pressure switch" on the operation side above the power relays. Faults (e.g. caused by overheating) can be manually overcome by means of this switch.
Generator Failure B. Generator Failure B.1 Tools and Measuring Instruments In order to be able to manage disturbances while driving, the following tools and measu- ring instruments should belong to the equipment kept on board: • Multi-meter for voltage (AC), frequency and resistance •...
The voltage range of the power stations normally lies between 200 and 240 V (100 - 130 V in the 60 Hz version). In some countries even substantially larger tension deviations are being called "normally". The Fischer Panda generators are aligned that they keep these default values during normal load.
(the monitor will also shut down the on-board grid automatically when the generator is stop- ped). Such a relay with contactor can be obtained from the installator or as a complete unit from your Fischer Panda dealer. B.3 Setting the Speed Governor of the Actuator The speed of the generator is determined by two independent settings;...
Generator Failure B.3.1 Setting the maximum upper speed setting 1. Remove the plug from the electrical input for the actuator. 2. Loosen the counter nuts of the speed governor screws with a combination wrench SW 10. 3. Connect a voltmeter with a range up to 300 Volts AC to the AC Output of the AC Control Box. 4.
Page 47
Generator Failure B.3.2 Setting the normal speed settings Setting the lower speed limit 1. Remove the plug from the electrical input. 2. Loosen the counter nuts against each other by means of two combination spanners SW 10. 3. Connect an electrical voltmeter in the range up to 300 Volt AC to the AC Control Box output. 4.
Generator Failure B.3.3 Greasing the trapezoidal thread spindle on the speed actuator (The speed setting of the trapezoidal thread spindle must be regularly greased. Only high tempe- rature-resistant grease (up to 100 °C) may be used. The end of the nuts must also be smeared with grease.
Generator Failure B.3.4 Consequences of a continual overloading of the Actuator If the generator is overloaded the voltage falls on account of a not adequate motor power under the nominal value. The actuator stays at the upper keystroke and tries to rev up the diesel engine. An internal regulation limits the current to the actuator, nevertheless a longer overload can damage the winding of the actuator.

Generator Failure Checking the generator voltage limitation The mechanical voltage limitation must be checked regularly. 1. Switch off all consumers. 2. Disconnect the plug of the actuator. 3. Connect an electrical voltmeter. 4. Start the generator. 5. Turn the actuator to the lowest limit point by hand. The max. voltage is 260 V (130 V). 6.
Generator Failure B.4.2 Checking the Capacitors ATTENTION: If the capacitors are to be checked, make sure that the capa- citors has been discharged. A visual check can give information on whether the capacitors are defective: - Dielectric leak? - did the capacitor become longer? The capacitors can be tested with a multi- meter.
Generator Failure B.4.3 Check the Generator Voltage The following steps must be taken, in order to test whether the stator winding generates sufficient voltage: 1. The following steps must be taken, in order to test whether the stator winding generates suf- ficient voltage: 2.
Generator Failure B.4.5 Check the Windings for Short Circuiting Ensure that the generator has been switched off and cannot be inadvertently switched on. Dis- connect the wires to the battery for this. 1. All wires in the junction box or - if necessary - in the circuit distribution box must be disconnec- ted.
Generator Failure B.5 Generator provides no voltage B.5.1 Rotor Magnetism Loss and "Re-magnetising" ATTENTION! “Safety Instructions” on Page iv In the case of asynchronous generators, the generator cannot independently increase voltage after standing still, or, if it is switched off under full load. This is because the rotor has lost its remaining magnetism.
Generator Failure 1. Fuel solenoid valve 2. Fuel injector 3. Ventilation screw Fig. B.6.1-1: Fuel Solenoid Valve B.6.2 Re-start with Failure Bypass Switch The start-failure bypass switch enables an immediate restart facility of the generator, should it cut out, even if this was caused by over-heating. There is normally a requirement to wait until the motor has cooled down to the correct temperature.
Generator Failure This period can be reduced by pushing the button on the front of the generator. The generator can be started by means of the remote control as long as the button is depressed. The switch/ button bypasses any faults allowing the generator to run. Before depressing the button, a manual check of the oil dip stick must be carried out to determine whether the generator has sufficient oil, as it is possible that the oil pressure switch causes the generator to cut out.

Installation Instructions D. Installation Instructions D.1 Placement Since Panda generators have extremely compact dimensions, they can be installed in tight locati- ons. Attempts are sometimes made to install them in almost inaccessible places. Please consider that even almost maintenance-free machinery must still remain accessible at least at the front (drive belt, water pump) and the service-side (actuator, dipstick).
Installation Instructions D.2 Generator Connections Connect all electrical wires within the capsule tightly to the motor and the generator. This is also the case for fuel lines and cooling water lines. The electrical connections MUST be carried out according to the respective valid regulati- ons.
Installation Instructions 01) external expansion tank 02) external vent valve Fig. D.2-2: Generator Connections D.3 Cooling System Installation - Raw Water D.3.1 General Information The genset should have its own raw water (coolant water) inlet and should not be connected to any other engine systems.

Installation Instructions D.5 Water Cooled 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.
Installation Instructions D.5.2 Exhaust / Water separator In order to reduce the noise level of the generator unit to a minimum, an optional exhaust outlet muffler can be mounted next to the thru-hull fitting. Additionally there is a component at Fischer Panda, which acts as both an "exhaust goose neck", and water separator.
Installation Instructions 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 fulfils the same function. If the "Super silent" exhaust system were installed correctly, the generator will not disturb your boat neighbour. The exhaust noise should be nearly inaudible.
Installation Instructions Example of an unfavourable installation: - Water lock not far enough below the highest level of the generator - Distance water lock to exhaust/water separator too large Fig. D.5.3-1: Expample for an Unfavourable Installation D.6 Installation of the Fuel System D.6.1 General References Inside the generator capsule itself, there is the fuel filter installed (exception: Panda 4200 and 4500).
Installation Instructions D.6.3 Connection of the Fuel Lines at the Tank Lead the return fuel pipe connected to the day tank to the floor The return pipe connected to the tank must be dropped to the same depth as the suction pipe, if the generator is mounted higher than the tank, in order to prevent fuel running back into the tank after the motor has been switched off, which can lead to enormous problems, if the generator is switched off for a long period.
Installation Instructions D.6.5 Ventilating Air from the Fuel System Normally, the fuel system is designed to vent air itself i.e. as soon as the electric starter motor starts; the fuel pump starts working and the fuel system will be air-vent automatically after some time.
Installation Instructions D.7 Generator 12 V DC System Installation The Panda generators from 8.000 NE upwards have their own dynamo to charge a 12 V starter battery. It is recommended to install an additional starter battery for the generator. The generator is then independent from the remaining battery set. This enables you to start the genset at any time with its own starter battery even if the other batteries are discharged.
Installation Instructions The Panda generators 8000 to 30 are equipped with various DC-relays, which can be found under the terminal strip. The various relays have the following tasks (also see the DC circuit diagram) 1. Starter motor relay 2. Pre-glow relay (glow plugs) 3.
Installation Instructions D.8 Generator AC System Installation ATTENTION! Before the electrical system is installed, READ the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS of this manual FIRST! Be sure that all electrical installations (including all safety systems) comply with all required regulations of the regio- nal authorities.

Fuel pump Fig. D.8.2-1: Installation AC-Box / distribution panel separate connected A power source selector switch must be installed between the generator (or if applicable, AC-Control box) and the ship's electrical supply system.
Page 100
Installation Instructions The cam-type switch must have 2 poles, so that "MP" and "phase" can be switched off. If a 3-phase current system is also installed with the option of supplying from either the generator or shore power, an additional switch must be installed to keep these systems separate. An alternative to a manual rotating switch is an automatic power relay.
Installation Instructions D.8.3 AC Control Box with VCS and ASB The required capacitors for the excitation of the generator are located in the AC-Control box, as well as the electronic control for voltage/speed regulation (VCS) and the starting current re- inforcement (ASB).
Installation Instructions D.8.4 VCS Voltage Control All Panda generators from Panda 8000 upwards are fitted with the electronic voltage control "VCS" as standard. The VCS controls the generator voltage and motor speed. A actuator on the injection pump can increase the engine speed by up to 8%. If the generator is run without load, the voltage should be 231V with a frequency of approx 48.5 to 49Hz.
Installation Instructions D.8.5 Jump Start at High Starting Current (Booster) Additionally, the automatic start booster is located on the circuit control board. The starting cur- rent is increased by connecting a second group of capacitors (C2), if the voltage drops below a pre-set voltage.

Tables E.4 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.
Use a mixture of water and antifreeze. The antifreeze needs to be suitable for aluminium. The antifreeze concen- tration must be regularly checked in the interests of safety.
