The battery terminals must be protected against accidental short-circuiting. Inside the Fischer Panda generator capsule, the positive battery cable must be routed so that it is protected from heat and vibrations by means of an adequate conduit/protective sleeve. It must be installed so that it does not come into contact with rotating parts or such that heat up during operation such as pulley, exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, and motor itself.
Page 26 Check the battery near vibrating components regularly for chafing and insulation defects. ATTENTION! For battery charger generators (Fischer Panda AGT-DC)! Prior to installation, verify that the voltage of the battery bank complies with the output voltage of the generator.

Installation Instructions 6.2.2 Preparing the base - placement Since Panda generators have extremely compact dimensions, they can be installed in tight locations. 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 6.4.3 Installation of the through hull fitting in Yachts - scheme It is good practice for yachts to use a through hull fitting Fig. 6.4.3-1: Position of the through hull fitting with an integrated strainer. The through hull fitting (raw water intake) is often mounted against the sailing direction to induce more water intake for cooling.
Page 61 Installation Instructions Contact Fischer Panda for further information. Never change the impeller for many years, without NOTE: exchanging the old pump. If the sealing ring is defective within the pump, raw water runs into the sound cover of the genset. A repair is then very expensive.

Installation Instructions certainly be reasonable to immediately inject plenty penetrating oil through the intake stack and to slowly turn the engine with the starter motor. The cooling water can reach the exhaust area via the exhaust hose as well as via the cooling water feed. 6.8.1 Possible cause for water in the exhaust hose 6.8.1.1 Possible cause: exhaust hose If the cause is the exhaust hose itself, the following points are to be checked at the hose:...
Page 73: The Volume Of The Waterlock
Installation Instructions Fig. 6.8.2-1: Installation area of the waterlock 6.8.3 The volume of the waterlock The waterlock must be measured so large, that it can take the entire amount of water flowing back from the exhaust hose. The amount of water depends on the hoses’ length (L) and its cross section. While the diesel engine is running, cooling water is continuously injected into the exhaust system and is carted outside with the emissions by the exhaust gas pressure.
Page 74 Installation Instructions Fig. 6.8.3.0-1: Volume of the waterlock If there are any doubts, a verification can easily be made by temporarily using a clear-sighted hose (1) as exhaust hose. In that way, the cooling water level can be checked very easily. Fig.
Page 75: Ideal Position Of The Waterlock
Installation Instructions 6.8.3.1 Ideal position of the waterlock Important Note! The ideal position of the waterlock would be in center underneath the generator. Only in this position it is assured that the water level cannot change drastically in tilted position by the waterlock moving out of the center line.
Page 76 Installation Instructions Fig. 6.8.3.1-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 6.11.3.1-3 The distance of the water level, even in ideal position, changes that only 458 mm distance remain. So the critical distance is under-run already. Fig. 6.8.3.1-4: Tilted position 45 degrees Tilted position 45 degrees - Fig.
Page 77 Installation Instructions Summary: The preset minimum height of 600 mm must be regarded unconditionally and is only valid if the waterlock is mounted in its ideal position in center underneath the generator. A higher position is highly recommended if it has to be reckoned with tilted positions of 45 degrees.
Page 78: Example Of The Installation Of The Waterlock Off-Center And Possible Effects
Installation Instructions 6.8.3.2 Example of the installation of the waterlock off-center and possible effects: The following pictures are primarily relevant for an installation of the generator with the waterlock on sailing yachts. A change in the mounting position caused by tilted position does not have to be reckoned concerning motor yachts. Here it is only necessary to regard that the volume of the waterlock is measured so large that it can take the entire amount of water flowing back, and at the same time, maintains the minimum distance of 600 mm.
Page 79 Installation Instructions Fig. 6.8.3.2-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 6.11.3.2-3 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 combustion chamber.

Page 81: 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 through-hull fitting. Additionally there is a component at Fischer Panda, which acts as both an „exhaust goose neck“, and water separator.

Installation Instructions 6.11.3.2 Example of the installation of the waterlock off-center and possible effects: The following pictures are primarily relevant for an installation of the generator with the waterlock on sailing yachts. A change in the mounting position caused by tilted position does not have to be reckoned concerning motor yachts. Here it is only necessary to regard that the volume of the waterlock is measured so large that it can take the entire amount of water flowing back, and at the same time, maintains the minimum distance of 600 mm.
Page 92 Installation Instructions Fig. 6.11.3.2-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 6.11.3.2-3 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 combustion chamber.
Page 93 Installation Instructions B) Installation distance between waterlock and the generator’s center line 1000 mm Fig. 6.11.3.2-5: waterlock, 1000 mm next to center line Fig. 6.11.3.2-6: Tilted position 15 degrees Tilted position 15 degrees - Fig. 6.11.3.2-6 The distance is, contrary to the original 600 mm, only 327 mm. This is very close to the critical point already. 18.12.15 Kapitel/Chapter 6: Installation Instructions - Seite/Page 93...

Generator Faults Fig. 8.5.0-11: Wiring diagram DVS - 230 V + 400 V / 50 Hz 8.6 Overloading the generator Please ensure that the generator is not overloaded. This must be considered, especially with regards to multi power generators. In this case the extra load including the electrical performance can be considerably greater than the drive performance of the motor, which can eventually lead to a damaged motor.
Page 187: Monitoring The Generator Voltage
„normally“. The Fischer Panda generators are aligned that they keep these default values during normal load. With high load or overload it can occur that the voltage drops on 190 V (95 V in the 60 Hz version) and partly still more deeply.
Page 188: Generator-Output Voltage Is Too Low
Generator Faults 8.7 Generator-Output Voltage is too low If the AC generated is too low, then the consumers should be disconnected, one after the other, in order to reduce the load on the generator. Generally the problem is then solved. The frequency should be checked, if the output voltage is correct after the consumers have been disconnected.
Page 189 Generator Faults Checking Fig. 8.7.1-3: Capacitor checking Switch the multimeter to capacitor measuring and connect the meter end probes to the capacitor terminals. Measure capacity of the capacitor. Check all capacitors in the electrical cabinet Test each capacitor by touching the multimeter (set on capacitor measuring) probes on the capacitor terminals: measure the capacity of the capacitors.

Generator Faults (Note: The current arises from the rest magnetism of the rotor, which induces a voltage in the winding). 8.7.4 Measuring the Ohm Resistance of the Generator Windings If a short circuit could not be found by using a multi-meter, then the windings parts of the generator must be checked by means of an Ohmmeter that is suitable for low resistance values.
Page 192: Measuring The Inductive Resistance
Generator Faults 8.7.6 Measuring the Inductive Resistance An Ohm measurement of a winding does not always give reliable information concerning the state of the winding. If there are resistance irregularities between the windings parts, this is a sure sign that the winding is defective. This means the opposite cannot be concluded.
