    Advices regarding Starter Battery Fischer Panda recommends to use a normal starter battery. If the generator is required for extreme winter conditi- ons, the starter battery capacity should be doubled. It is recommended to regularly charge the starter battery by a suitable battery-charging device (i.e.
  • Page 67: Starting Generator- See Remote Control Panel Datasheet

    The Panda Generator 8. Switch the land electricity/Generator switch to zero before starting or switching off all load. The generator should only be started when all load have been switched off. The excitation of the generator will be suppressed, if the generator is switched off with load connected, left for a while, or switched on with extra load, thus reducing the residual magnetism necessary for excitation of the generator to a minimum.

  • Page 81: Possible Cause: Exhaust Duct

    Installation Instructions pression rings will start to corrode. These effects have to be discussed with an engine expert. It will cer- tainly be reasonable to immediately inject plenty penetrating oil through the intake stack and to slowly turn the engine with the starter motor.) The coolant can reach the exhaust area via the exhaust duct as well as via the coolant feed.
  • Page 82: The Volume Of The Exhaust Water Collector

    Installation Instructions Fig. 5.4.5-1: Installation area of the exhaust water collector 5.4.5.1 The volume of the exhaust water collector The exhaust water collector must be measured so large, that it can take the entire amount of water flowing back from the exhaust duct. The amount of water depends on the ducts’ length (L) and its cross section. While the diesel engine is running, coolant is continuously injected into the exhaust system and is carted outside with the emissions by the exhaust gas pressure.

  • Page 84 Installation Instructions 5.4.5.2 Position of the water collector Important Note! The ideal position of the water collector would be in center underneath the generator. Only in this position it is assured that the water level can not change drastically in tilted position by the water collector moving out of the center line.
  • Page 85 Installation Instructions Tilted position 30 degrees Fig. 5.4.5.2-3: Tilted position 30 degrees The distance of the water level, even in ideal position, changes in a way that only 458 mm distance remain. So the critical distance is under-run already. Tilted position 45 degrees Fig.
  • Page 86 Installation Instructions 5.4.5.3 Example of the installation of the water collector off-center and possible effects: The following pictures are primarily relevant for an installation of the generator with the water collector on sailing yachts. A change in the mounting position caused by tilted position does not have to be reckoned concerning motor yachts.
  • Page 87 Installation Instructions Tilted position 30 degreed Fig. 5.4.5.3-3: Tilted position 30 degreed The distance between the hydrostatic head and the critical point at the exhaust elbow is only 216 mm. This means that in a tilted position of 30 degrees you already face the highest risk of sea water sloshing into the com- bustion chamber.
  • Page 88: 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 Fischer Panda, which exercise both functions of a "exhaust goose neck", and the water separation. With this "exhaust/water separator" the cooling water is derived over a separate pipe.
