CALIFORNIA Proposition 65 Warning Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. The electrical Installations may only be carried out be trained and tested personnel! Manufacturer declaration in terms of the machine guideline 98/37/EG .

Safety Instructions 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.

For safety however, the capacitors have to be discharged (short circuited) prior to carrying out any work on the AC-Control box. CAUTION! Do not touch the capacitor contact terminals! Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter B: Generator Operating Instructions Page 25...
It is important that every person who operates the generator is informed of this situation. This is practically the only handling error that can be made on board that can lead to fatal consequences for both generator and operator.

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...
(For temperatures below - 8°C check whether there is winter fuel) 7. Check circuit- voltmeter, to test whether there is AC voltage and is within the tolerance range (Frequency and voltage). Page 28 Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter B: Generator Operating Instructions...
(or even no voltage) since the stator windings do not have the chance to reach full excitation. Electrical units which are switched on in this condition could possibly be damaged (special caution should be practised with electric motors to avoid burnout). Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter B: Generator Operating Instructions Page 29...
An oil drainage hose is fitted in the sound cover for changing the oil. This is fed through the capsule to the outside. Open the pass-through cover at the sound cover for the oil drain hose. Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions Page 33...
Page 38
The oil drainage screw is then closed again and the hose again stored in the sound-insulated capsule. The oil filter could be loosen by a tool (oil- filter strap) Page 34 Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions...

The new oil is filled here. With the help of the engine oil dipstick the oil level is too examined. The prescribed filling level may not exceed the „Max“ mar- king. Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions Page 35...
The de-aerating process has to be rerun- ned several times. Open de-aerating screw at the cooling water pump. Open de-aerating screw at the thermostat- houing Open de-aerating screw at the watercoo- led silencer. Page 36 Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions...
Page 41
Please wait until the temperatures raise more and check if the fan will activate. It makes sense to, once again, repeat the de-aerating procedure after a few days, in order to ensure that remaining air bubbles have been finally removed. Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions Page 37...
Try again to start the unit. After the unit has started the pipe union nut has to be tightened again. Page 38 Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions...
The arrow on the filter housing indicates the direction of the fuel flow. A clogged filter causes a decreased power output of the generator Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions Page 39...
Open the combustion air housing by loo- sen the clamp at the cover. Loose the wing bolt and lift the frame that holds the air filter. Change the air filter (MANN C2039). Page 40 Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions...
We suggest to stand by the according service-packet. Loosen the fixing screw above the alter- nator. Loosen the fixing screw below the alterna- tor only a little bit. Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions Page 41...

Stretch the v-belt by pulling the alternator back. The v-belt should be able to be pressing approx. 1cm with the thumb. Tighten the fixing srews above and below the alternator. Page 42 Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions...
100% if it is properly designed. If the inductive load (i.e. E-Motor) is more than 20% of the generator nominal power, a compensation is necessary.

If the adjustment is finished the plug of the actuator must be re-connect for operation. Re-connect the connections if the electrical supply lines in the AC-control box were also be dis- connected. Page 46 Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter D: Generator Failure...
Check the electrical fuse (miniature slow-to-blow fuse 1,6A) on the control printed circuit board if the actuator will not turn at all. Change fuse here (1,6A slow to blow) Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter D: Generator Failure Page 47...

4. If the motor react on the turn by manual strongly (the motor can normally hold with the fingers) the drive will be working faultless. If there are nevertheless faults in the voltage control there is a fault in the control VCS. Page 48 Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter D: Generator Failure...
If the generator does not produce any voltage while the diesel drive engine is running, the suspected cause lies outside the generator capsule. - electrical load not switched off prior to start - short circuit somewhere in electrical system - electrical overload Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter D: Generator Failure Page 49...
An unusually warm capacitor is also a sign that it is faulty or near the end of its life span. Page 50 Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter D: Generator Failure...
"beeps" when the selector is set to continuity and the end probes are contacted together. Checking Switch the multimeter to „Continuity: acou- stic signal“ and touch both capacitor termi- nals with the meter end probes. Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter D: Generator Failure Page 51...

This can lead to faster deterioration of the capacitors. ATTENTION! Do not contact the capacitor. Before working on the System read the Section "Safety instructions" in this Manual. AC Output Terminal box 230V/400V-50Hz Page 52 Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter D: Generator Failure...
To measure coil resistance a meter capable of measuring low resistances (Milli-Ohm resolution if possible) accurately. The measured resistance values should be close to the same between the following terminals: L1-N, L2-N, L3-N. Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter D: Generator Failure Page 53...
MEGA-meter with a high test voltage If you find any anormality, when doing this test, please ask your Fischer Panda dealer. If the measured resistance values deviate from each other significantly, then there is probably a short within the coils.
(otherwise, it is very DANGEROUS TO LIFE!) Initializing the magnetic field in the windings through exter- nal current from a 4,5 - 9 volt battery. (No car-battery !) Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter D: Generator Failure Page 55...

Decisive for the success of this procedure is that sufficient water enters to internal coolant pump, so that the coolant pump can function. The coolant pump cannot draw water as long as there is air in the casing. Panda 14.000 NE PVK-U S00420 - Chapter E: Installation Instructions Page 75...
