The Panda Generator Heat exchanger Separates the raw water system from the freshwater system. Fig. B.3.2-3: Heat exchanger Ventilation valve A siphon must be installed if the generator sinks below the water line because of the rocking of the boat, even if it is only for a short period of time.
The Panda Generator B.3.3 Components of Cooling System (Freshwater) Cooling water filler neck The cooling water filler necks situated at the water-cooled manifold are only used, when the generator is initially started. Since the generator is normally already filled with cooling water, these compo- nents are only by the user, if repairs are to be carried out.

The Panda Generator Ventilation valve generator housing The ventilation valve on the generator housing should occasionally be opened for control purposes. Standing machinery should principally carry out ventilating. Fig. B.3.3-7: Ventilation valve generator housing Water pipe engine After the cooling water has flown through the generator housing it is lead to the engine.
The Panda Generator B.3.4 Components of the fuel system External fuel pump The Panda generator is always supplied with an external, electrical (12 V 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 gene- rator.
Page 27
The Panda Generator Injection nozzle If the engine does not start after the venti- lation, the fuel injection line must be de- aerated individually. Fig. B.3.4-4: Injection nozzle Glow plug The glow plug serve the pre-chamber for the heating with cold start. The heat-treat fixture must be operated, if the tempera- ture of the generator is under 16°C.
The Panda Generator B.3.5 Components of combustion air Air suction openings at the sound cover The sound cover for the marine generator is provided at the front side with drillings, through which the combustion air can inf- lux. It must be consistently paid attention that the generator is installed in such a way that no water can arrive into the proximity of these air openings.

The Panda Generator Actuator for speed regulation The generator voltage is determined by progressive speed control through "VCS" in conjunction with the speed actuator. Speed increases with increasing load. Fig. B.3.6-4: Actuator Generator power terminal box At the top of the generator is the power terminal box.
The Panda Generator B.3.7 Sensors and switches for operating surveillance Thermo-switch at engine The thermo-switch at the engine serves the monitoring of the generator tempera- ture. All thermo-switches for the genera- tors from Panda 6.000 upward are two- pole and laidout as "openers". Fig.
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. Fig. B.3.7-4: Oil pressure switch Failure bypass switch The failure bypass switch offers the possi- bility of starting the generator if the electri- cal control switched off due to an error in the cooling system by overheating.

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 con- ditions. Fig. B.3.8-2: Oil dipstick Oil strainer The oil strainer should be cleaned every 500 operating hours.
The Panda Generator B.3.9 External components AC-Control box For the operation of the generator a AC- Control box is necessary. This AC-Control box contains electronics for the VCS con- trol as well as different monitoring ele- ments and the capacitors necessary for the excitation of the generator.

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 B.4.2 Daily routine checks before starting 1. Oil Level Control (ideal level: MAX). 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 B.4.3 Starting Generator 1. If necessary, open the fuel valve. 2. If necessary, close the main battery switch. 3. Check if all the load have been switched off. The load is switched off, before the generator is switched off. The generator is not to be started with load connec- ted.
The Panda Generator B.4.4 Stopping the Generator 1. Switch off load. 2. If the load is higher than 70% of the nominal load, the generator temperatures should be stabi- lised by switching off the load for at least 5 minutes. At higher ambient temperatures (more than 25°C) the generator should always run for at least 5 minutes without load, before it is switched off, regardless of the load.
Installation Instruction C. Installation Instruction C.1 Placement C.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 Instruction C.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 Instruction C.3 Cooling System Installation - raw water C.3.1 General References The genset should have its own sea 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 aggregates (corrosion 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 Instruction C.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 hee- ling must be considered! The water hose for the external vent valve at the back of the sound cover splits on the pres- sure side of the pump and at both ends in each case exten- ded with a connecting nipple by a hose end.
Installation Instruction C.4 The Freshwater - Coolant Circuit Fig. C.4-1: Freshwater Circiut - Scheme C.4.1 De-aerating at the first filling of the internal cooling water circuit 1. For the preparation of filling the following steps are to be undertaken: a. Open the cooling water cap on the housing of the water-cooled exhaust elbow union, Seite 46...
Page 47
Installation Instruction b. Ventilation valve on the generator hou- sing, 2. Filling the cooling water circle a. Fill in the prepared mixture (cooling water with anti-freeze protection accord- ing to the intended mixture) at the filler neck at the housing of the water-cooled exhaust elbow union slowly so long, until cooling water leaks at the de-aerating screw of the thermostat housing.
Installation Instruction 3. First de-aerating The cooling water circuit of the generator must be de-aerated now by multiple repeating of the de-aerating procedure. During the entire procedure the external cooling water expansion tank remains opened (i.e. the cap must be removed). After the first stopping of the the generator wait about one minute until the air in the cooling water can be drop off and raise to the highest point (ventilation point).
Installation Instruction C.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. C.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 Instruction C.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 52
Installation Instruction Example of an unfavorable installation: - water lock not deeply enough under the hights level of the generator - distance water lock to exhaust/water separator too largely Seite 52 Panda PMS 5000LPE_Operationinstruction.R04 - Kapitel C: Installation Instruction 21.10.08...
Installation Instruction C.6 Fuel System Installation C.6.1 General References Inside the generator capsule itself, there is the fuel filter installed (Exception Panda 4500). Addi- tional fuel filters (with water seperator) must be mounted outside the capsule in easily accessible places in the fuel lines between the tank intake fuel pump and the diesel motor's fuel pump. Generally forward and return fuel flow pipes must be mounted to the diesel tanks.
Installation Instruction C.6.2 The electrical fuel pump Electrical fuel pump With the Panda generator is usually supp- lied an external, electrical fuel pump (12V DC). The fuel pump must be installed close at the fuel tank. The electrical con- nections are preloaded at the generator with the lead planned.
Installation Instruction C.6.4 Position of the pre-filter with water separator Additionally to the standard fine filter a pre- filter with water separator must be installed outside of the sound cover in the fuel sys- tem line. (is not included in delivery.) C.6.5 Bleeding air from the fuel system Normally, the fuel system is designed to bleed out air itself i.e.
Installation Instruction C.7 Generator 12V DC System-Installation The Panda has its own dynamo to charge a 12V 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.
Page 57
Installation Instruction 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 Instruction C.8 Generator AC System-Installation ATTENTION! Before the electrical system is installed, READ the “Safety first” on page 6 of this manual FIRST! Be sure that all electrical installations (including all safety systems) comply with all required regulations of the regional authorities. This includes lightnening conductor, personal protection switch etc.
Installation Instruction C.8.2 Installation AC-Box / distribution panel separate connected 1. Generator 4. Distribution panel 2. Battery 5. Remote control panel 3. AC-Control Box 6. Fuel pump 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 60
Installation Instruction 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 Instruction C.8.3 AC-Control box with VCS and ASB In the AC-Control box the needed capacitors for the excitation of the generator are placed as well as the electronic control for voltage/speed regulation VCS and the starting current reinforcement ASB. The AC-Control box must be connected with the conductions (high voltage and low-voltage) to the generator.
Installation Instruction C.8.4 VCS-voltage controll 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 servo motor 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 Instruction C.8.5 Jump start at hight 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.
Strict separation of the generator from 12V ship mains, that means earth free installation of the 12V system (generator installation and general ship mains).

Mode of Operation of the Generator D.1 Mode of Operation of Operating Surveillance Internal monitoring switches The generator is equipped about failure switches, which are indicated on the remote control panel, and also about failure switch, which switch-off the generator automatically without indica- ting a failure in the remote control panel: The remote control panel supervised the following values.
Page 66
Mode of Operation of the Generator Thermo-switch at exhaust connection If the impeller pump drop out and delive- res no more raw water, the exhaust con- nection becomes extremely hot. Fig. D.2: Thermo-switch at exhaust connection Thermo-switch in the generator coil 1.
Mode of Operation of the Generator D.1.1 Regulation of the generator voltage by the VCS The output voltage of the generator is permanently measured by the VCS (approx. 20 times per second!). As soon as by a consumer the voltage is affected, the speed regulation provides to adapt to the changed power demand by appropriate change of the engine speed.
If such engines are to be operated, contact the techni- cian of Fischer Panda, in order to find suitable measures, which work against the high starting current and/or layout the generator for the higher starting current.
Mode of Operation of the Generator D.3 Operation of the generator with automatic start If the generator set were set up far away from the location of the remote control panel that the user cannot hear surely, whether the generator starts, a automatic starting option (accessories) should be installed.

Maintenance Instructions Oil strainer The oil strainer must be cleaned every 500 opeatiing hours. Open the oil filler neck After opening the cap of the oil filler neck the new oil is refilled. Please wait instant, before measure the oil level, the oil must set off in the sump.
Maintenance Instructions E.3 Checking the water separator in the fuel supply The pre-filter with water separator has a cock at its lower surface, with this cock the downward sunk water can be discharged. This is simply possible, water is heavier due to its density than the Diesel.
Maintenance Instructions 3. After the fuel pump has been running 3 to 4 minutes because the failure bypass switch has been pushed down the bleeding screw of the solenoid valve has to be unscrewed. When ope- ning the screw one has to carry on pushing the switch.
Maintenance Instructions Change the air filter mat and close the cover again. E.4 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.
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 ventilation valves and start the gener- ator.

Maintenance Instructions E.7 Coolant connection block at generator housing Monitoring of the coolant connection block as sacrificial anode At all raw watercooled aggregates the coolant connection block at the side of the generator hou- sing must be well controlled. This coolant connection block is manufactured from a special alumi- num alloy and serves also as sacrificial anode.
Maintenance Instructions E.8 Conservation at longer operation interruption E.8.1 Measures on preparation of the winter storage 1. Rinse raw water circuit with an anti-freeze solution, even if this contains a corrosion protection means. The raw water inlet must be removed at the water cock. Over a hose connector the anti-freeze protection mixture is to be sucked in from a container.
Maintenance Instructions E.8.1 Measures on preparation of the winter storage (Forts.) 16.Check cooling water connection block at the generator housing on traces of corrosion and if necessary renew. (only such traces are to be considered, which refer to clear "blossoming" of the material.
Generator Failure F. Generator Failure Tools and measuring instruments In order to be able to manage disturbances while driving, following tools and measuring instruments should belong to the equipment on board: • Multimeter for voltage (AC), frequency and resistance • Measuring instrument for inductance •...
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.
Generator Failure Adjusting Instructions for the Spindle of the actuator There is an independent regulation devices for the speed range of the generator. Limited upward and downward: With the regulation nuts at the spindle of the actuator left and right of the spindle nut. After all work at the components of the speed regulation is done the adjustment of the limitation must be checked.
Generator Failure 1. Adjusting nut for upper speed limitation 2. Adjusting nut for lower speed limitation 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.
Generator Failure F.3.3 Effects of a overload to 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.
Page 92
Generator Failure Steps to check the voltage control by a disturbance: 1. Switch off all electrical consumers. 2. Disconnect the plug of the actuator. 3. Turn the actuator manually to check if the adjusting nut is jamed to the limit stop points. 4.
Generator Failure Low Generator-Output Voltage If the produced alternating voltage is too low, switch the consumers off, in order to relieve the generator. Mostly the problem already solved. If the output voltage is still too low, even if all con- sumers are switched off, the generator runs without load, you can assume one or more conden- sers are defective.
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.
Generator Failure F.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.
Generator Failure Generator provides no Voltage F.5.1 Rotor Magnetism Loss and "Re-magnetizing" .ATTENTION! “Safety first” on Page 6 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.
Generator Failure Fuel solenoid valve F.6.2 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/but- ton 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.
Tables G. Tables G.1 Troubleshooting GENERATOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE TOO LOW For 50Hz versions: less than 200V For 60Hz versions: less than 100V Cause Solution Generator is overloaded. Reduce the electrical load. (Switch off consumers) Motor is not reaching the rated rpm. Refer to "motor faults"...

Tables G.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.
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.
