The Panda Generator Oil drain hose The Panda generator is equipped that the engine oil can be drained over an drain hose. The generator should be always installed therefore that a collecting basin can be set up deeply enough. If this is not possible, an electrical oil drain pump must be installed.
The Panda Generator 4.4 Operation Instructions 4.4.1 Daily routine checks before starting 1. Oil level control (ideal level: 2/3 of maximum). AtTTENTION! OIL PRESSURE CONTROL! True, the diesel motor automatically switches off when there is a lack of oil, but it is very damaging for the motor, if the oil level drops to the lowest limit.
The Panda Generator 4.4.2 Starting Generator - see remote control datasheet 4.4.3 Stopping the Generator - see remote control datasheet 4.4.4 Starting the Generator by a „Failure bypass switch“ There is a "pressure switch" at the terminal block. Faults (e.g. caused by overheating) can be manually overcome by means of this switch.
Installation Instructions 5. Installation Instructions 5.1 Placement 5.1.1 Placement and Basemount 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 5.2 Generator Connections - Scheme The generator comes supplied with all supply lines (i.e. electric cables, fuel lines etc.) already connected to the motor and generator. The supply lines are fed through the capsule's front base panel and are shielded at the capsule inlets with water-proof grommets. All electrical connections, cable types and sizes must comply to the appropriate regulati- ons.
Installation Instructions 5.3 Cooling System Installation - Raw water 5.3.1 General References The genset should have its own raw water (coolant water) inlet and should not be connected to any other engine systems. Ensure that the following installation instructions are complied with: Avoid galvanic corrosion For the avoidance of galvanic corrosion the chapter "Service instruction for marine gensets (cor- rosion protection)“...
A repair is then very expensive. Replacement impeller and also a spare pump should always be on board. The old pump can be sent back to Fischer Panda, where it is then economically overhauled completely. 1. Raw water filter 2. Water cock 3.
Installation Instructions 5.3.5 Installation below waterline If the generator can not be attached at least 600mm over the waterline, a vent valve must be installed into the raw water line. With location beside the "midship line" a possible heeling must be considered! The water hose for the external vent valve at the back of the sound cover splits on the pressure side of the pump and at both ends in each case extended with a connec-...
Installation Instructions 5.4 The Freshwater - Coolant Circuit 5.4.1 Position of the external Cooling Water Expansion Tank The Panda generator is normally sup- plied with an additional, external cool- ing water expansion tank. This tank must be installed in such a way that its lower edge is at least 500mm more highly arranged than the upper edge of the sound cover.
Installation Instructions 5.4.2 Ventilation at the first filling of the internal cooling water circuit 1. Fill up the external cooling water expansion tank with coolant. ATTENTION: „maximum fill level = „max.“-mark. The cover of the external expansion tank temporary must be opened. Fig.
Installation Instructions 4. Start the generator After filling the generator this must be started. During this first phase of start-up, the generator may not be loaded. Switch the generator off after max. 2 minutes of operation! 5. Repeat the steps 1-4 till no air comes out of the vent screw at tthermostat housing. 6.
Installation Instructions 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. 5.5.1 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.
Additionally there is component at Fischer Panda, which exercise both functions of a "exhaust goose neck", and the water separa- tion. With this "exhaust/water separator" the cooling water is derived over a separate pipe. The- reby the exhaust noises at the exterior of the yacht are strongly decreased.
Installation Instructions 5.5.3 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.

In addition the exhaust gases are soot-blackened (environment). The full rated output of the generator is primarily intended for brief use. As fatigue strength should be calculated in the interest of a long life span of the engine 70% of the nominal load.

Generator Failure Is the main supply connection ok? Check polatrity! Does DP+ (VCS ON) lie on clamp 6 of the plug with 6 pins? Fig. 7.2.1-3: Terminal 1-6 on VCS Checking the fuse on the VCS printed cir- cuit board. Fig.
Generator Failure 7.2.2 Fuel Solenoid Valve and Stop solenoid For start problems the possibility of an error exists with the solenoid for engine stop or fuel sole- noid valve, which both effect affect simultaneous on the fuel system. 1. Fuel solenoid valve The fuel solenoid valve is located in front of the injection pump.
Generator Failure Stop solenoid for engine stop Fig. 7.2.2-2: Stop solenoid 7.2.3 Dirty fuel filter If the fuel filter is dirty change the filter ele- ment. For replacing the filter element see section 6.3.1, “Replace of the fuel filter” on page 89. 01.
Generator Failure 7.2.4 Fuse on control panel board It is possible that the fuse on the control circuit board of the control panel is defec- tive. Replace the fuse if it is defective. 01. Fuse on control panel board (630 mA, slow-blow) Fig.
Generator Failure To prevent such a shut down period the generator can be started in the normal way while pres- sing the Failure bypass button is depressed. This by-passes any faults thus allowing the genera- tor to run. Before pressing the bypass button and starting the generator, a manual check of the engine oil level must be carried out as it is possible that the oil pressure switch caused the generator to cut out.
Tables 8. Tables Troubleshooting GENERATOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE TOO LOW If the generator delivers less than 12V current ("undervoltage"), there can be various reasons for this: Cause Solution Generator is overloaded. Reduce the electrical load. (Switch off load) Motor is not reaching the rated rpm. Refer to "motor faults"...
Page 114
Tables MOTOR TURNS OVER BUT DOES NOT START Cause Solution Stop solenoid valve not opening. Check wire connections and circuitry to solenoid valve. (ref. DC wiring diagram: Relay K2, Fuse) Fuel pump does not operate. Check fuel-filter and pump: clean if necessary. Lack of fuel.
Page 115
Tables DROP IN THE SPEED OF THE MOTOR Cause Solution Too much oil. Drain oil. Lack of fuel. Check fuel supply system: - fuel filter, renew if necessary - check fuel pump - check fuel lines (bleed if necessary) Lack of intake air. Check air intake paths.
Page 116
Tables SOOTY, BLACK EXHAUST Cause Solution Generator is overloaded. Check electrical load and switch off unnecessary load. Insufficient intake air. Check intake air filter; clean if necessary. Fuel injector nozzles faulty. Replace injector nozzles. Valve clearance incorrect. Readjust valve clearance to correct value (refer to Kubota-manual).

Tables 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.
