Fischer Panda
FISCHER GENERATORS have been manufactured since 1978 and are a well-known brand for first class diesel generators with especially effective sound-insulation.
Fischer has been one of the leading manufacturers in respect of quality and know-how during this period.
FISCHER, as the worldwide manufacturer of modern marine diesel generators, developed the Sailor-Silent series for example and produced a GFK sound-insulated capsule as early as 1979 and the basis for new generator technology.
The companies Fischer and Icemaster amalgamated under the direction of Icemaster in 1988, in order to concentrate on the development of new products. Production was moved to Paderborn.
The amalgamation of the two qualified companies led to the development of a complete new programme within a short space of time. The aggregates developed at that time set new technological standards worldwide.
The aggregates became more efficient and powerful than other aggregates in the same nominal performance range, because of the improved cooling. Panda generator demonstrated its superiority in several tests by renowned institutes and magazines during the past years. The patented VCS (voltage Control System) means it can meet all demands including motor speed. The start-booster (ASB) means Panda generators meet the highest demands in respect of voltage stability and starting values A Panda generator, with the same drive motor, produces 15% more effective output than the majority of conventional generators. This superiority in efficiency also ensures a fuel saving to the same extent.
The 100% water-cooled Panda Aggregate are currently manufactured in the performance range from 2 to 100 kW in various versions. Fast running motors are preferred for performances up to approx 30 kW (Nominal speed 3000 rpm).
The heavier slow runners are preferred for the higher range. The fast running aggregates have proved themselves many times for many uses, that they meet the demands in quality of yachts and vehicles, and offer space and weight saving of 50% compared to slow running generators.
In addition to the Panda series, Fischer Panda also supply the super compact high-tech sound-insulated battery charging aggregate from the DC/AC Panda AGT series, which is a very interesting solution for the production of mobile power.
The new HTG-alternators ensure that a charging rate of 285 amps is achieved that was scarcely thought possible for this compact construction. This alternator replaces a separate shipboard generators (constant 230 volts AC with up to
3500 kW from the main machine)

Safety Precautions
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.
All servicing-, maintenance or repair work may only carried out, when the motor is not running.
Electrical voltages above 48 volts ( battery chargers greater than 36 volts) are always dangerous to life). The rules of the respective regional authority must be adhered to. Only an electrician may carry out installation of the electrical connections for safety reasons.
General safety references for the enterprise of a AGT generator.
With all energized systems, with which the current is more than 50 Ampère, special safety precautions must be made, in order to protect the environment of the components against fire.
It is to be ensured absolutely that at the battery a main switch in well accessible place is accommodated, so that with danger of the main switches can be separated immediately. The main switch must be however also directly at the battery installed. If this place is not well accessible, a power relay must be used instead of the main switch which can be served manually, which can be served then if necessary from different places. The switches for the power relay are to mark accordingly as main switches DC battery "with danger switch off!".
Cooling of the rectifier block at the marine versions
The retifier block is cooled with fresh water. A normal cooling of the rectifier block is therefore only possible, as long as the cooling water supply of the generator functions duly. The cooling water supply of the generator must be so furnished therefore that by a wide dirt deflector it is guaranteed that from outside no dirt can be sucked in into the line system. If this is not attainable, the supply must be secured by a flow switch or a negative pressure switch. The generator must be switched off, if the cooling water supply is impair.
The temperature safety device on the rectifier block can be regarded only as additional safety device. The temperature rise at the diods is so fast that the rectifiers can be damaged during a unique interruption of the cooling water supply. A safe protection from damage of the rectifiers is not possible by the temperature monitoring on the rectifier radiator box. Thus this can take place only by means of an appropriate external monitoring of the cooling system.
ATTENTION!
Do not connect the minus pole of the starter battery to the ground of the boat because of galvanic reason.
Warning!
Never start the generator with the battery disconnected, the rectifiers will be damaged!
CAUTION!
Contact of the electrical contacts may be DANGER TO LIVE!
10
CAUTION!
The AGT-generator is not allowed to be connected to an inverter (without batteries)!
The Inverter generates voltage peaks, which can destroy the rectifier rectifiers of the generator!
A battery must always be connected to the inverter as a capacity!
Recommended capacity at 12V
≥
240Ah at 24V
≥
120Ah
The screws at the electric rectifier may be pulled tight only with a torque wrench. Torque 6 Nm.
The battery cable must be secured at the generator and at the batteries with appropriate safety devices.
The generator is also include into the CO

Measures to the fire protection.
All construction units in the environment of energized parts, which carry more than 50 Amp., must be fire protectionmoderately secured.
All junction points at the energized parts must be examined regularly on heating up (infrared thermometers).
Safety Instrictions for the Handling with Batteries
These instructions must be noticed additionally to the instructions of the battery manufacturer:
• If the batteries are working, someone should be in your near area to help you in a case of emergency.
• Water and soap must be hold ready if battery acid corrode your skin.
• Wear eye protection and protective clothing. During working with the batteries don´t touch the eyes.
• If you got a acid splash on your skin or clothing grow it with much water and soap out.
• If you got acid in your eyes rinse them immediately with clear water until no cauterization is noticeable. Visit immediate a doctor.
• Don´t smoke in the near of the batteries. Avoid naked flames or open fires. In the area of batteries exists danger of explosions.
• Pay attention that no tools fall on the battery poles, if necessary cover them.
• During the installation don´t wear a wrist watch or arm jewels, you can create under these circumstances a battery short-circuit. Burning of the skin could be the result.
• Protect every battery contact against unintentional touch.
• Use only cyclical profoundly dischargeable batteries. Starter batteries are not appropriate. Lead-gel batteries are commended. They are maintenance-free, profoundly dischargeable and not produce gas.
• Do not charge a frozen battery.
• Avoid a batterie short-curcuit.
• Take care of a good ventilation of the battery to drain off developing gas.
• The battery connection terminals must be checked of a tight contact at least before operating.
• The battery connection cable must be carefully mounted and checked about incorrect heating at operation with load. The vibrating devices must be regulary checked about scour points and flaw in the isolation.

Raw water intake
The diagram shows the supply pipes for the generator. The connection neck for the raw water connection is shown on the left hand side. The cross-section of the intake pipe should be nominally larger than the generator connection.
Fig. A.3.1-2: Raw water intake
Raw water impeller pump
The raw water pump is fitted with a rubber impeller. This pump is self-inductive. If, for example, you forget to open the sea valve, then you must expect the impeller to be destroyed after a short period of time. It is recommended to store several impellers on board as spare parts.

Ventilation pipe
The ventilation pipe at the water-cooled exhaust manifold leads to the external expansion tank. This pipe only serves as a ventilation pipe, if both pipes are to be connected to the external expansion tank
(ventilation pipe and intake pipe).
Fig. A.3.2-2: Ventilation pipe
Hose connection pieces for the external expansion tank
The external expansion tank is connected by two hose connections. The connecting pieces shown here serves as constant ventilation for the water-cooling system.
In case the external expansion tank is connected with two hoses, the system will ventilate itself. In this case, additional ventilation is only necessary when the generator is initially filled, or if the cooling water is not circulating.
Fig. A.3.2-3: External expansion tank
Freshwater backflow
The cooling water is fed to the heat exchanger from the water-cooled manifold by means of the pipe shown in the diagram.

Ventilation screw cooling water pump
The ventilation screw above the cooling water pump casing may not be opened, whilst the generator is running. If this occurs by mistake, air will be drawn through the opening. Extensive ventilation of the whole system is then necessary.
Fig. A.3.2-8: Ventilation screw cooling water pump
Ventilation screw thermostat housing
The ventilation screw on the thermostat housing should occasionally be opened for control purposes. Standing machinery should principally carry out ventilating.
Fig. A.3.2-9: Ventilation screw thermostat housing
Water-cooled exhaust elbow
The manifold is cooled by means of the internal cooling system (freshwater). The cooling water filler necks on the casing of the elbow may not be opened. These cooling water necks are only required to fill the motor with cooling water in cases of repair. The normal cooling water controls may only be carried out at the external expansion tank.

The Panda Generator
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 planned for it are before-installed at the generator. Since the suction height and the supply pressure are limited, it can be sometimes possible that for reinforcement a second pump must be installed.

Fuel filter
A consequential filtering of fuel is especially important for all marine systems. A fine filter, which is firmly attached to the inside of the sound insulation capsule for the marine version, is supplied on delivery, and loose for other makes. In all cases a further pre-filter with water separator must be installed. See directions for fuel filter installation.

The Panda Generator
Fuel solenoid valve
The fuel solenoid valve opens automatically if „START“ is pressed on the remote control panel“. The solenoid closes, if the generator is switched to „OFF“ position.
It takes a few seconds before the generator stops. If the generator does not start or does not run smoothly (i.e. stutters), or does not attain full speed, then the cause is fore-mostly the solenoid.
Fig. A.3.3-5: Fuel solenoid valve
Injection nozzles
If the engine does not start after the ventilation, the fuel injection lines must be deaerated individually.
18.12.08
Fig. A.3.3-6: Injection nozzle
Glow plugs
The glow plugs serve the pre-chamber for the heating with cold start. The heat-treat fixture must be operated, if the temperature of the generator is under 16°C. This is practically with each start the case. The heat-treat fixture may be held down also during start and favoured the starting procedure.
Fig. A.3.3-7: Glow plugs
AGT-DC_11000_48V_PMS_eng.R01 - Chapter A: The Panda Generator Page 31
Stop solenoid for engine stop
Some model are additional equipped with an stop solenoid. The generator is stopped by the co-operation of the stop solenoid immediately after switching off. The adjustment of the stop solenoid must always be checked, in order to be sure that the stop lever can move also during the operation freely and is not under prestressing.

A.4 Operation instructions
A.4.1 Preliminary remarks
Starter Battery
Adequate batteries are installed for extreme winter conditions. Unless the generator is being run frequently for extended (over 1 hour) periods, it is recommended that the starter battery is regularly charged by a suitable external battery-charging device, at least every 2 months. A correctly charged battery is essential for low temperature starts. Below minus 35°C it will probably be necessary to connect additional batteries or DC input from a running vehicle to provide enough power to start.
Motor Oil Quality during extreme Winter Conditions
Motor oil of the correct grade for the temperatures anticipated should be used. There is advice in section F.4, “Engine oil specification,” on Page 111 on the grades which are suitable for various environmental conditions.
Auxiliary Belt Failure
After starting a generator which has been cooled to below- 35°C, wait until normal operating tem erature has been reached, then switch off the generator and inspect the auxiliary belt. Even if damage is not found, it is recommended the belt is replaced (see section C.6, “Replace of the vbelt additional DC-alternator,” on Page 85 and following).
A.4.2 Daily routine checks before starting
1. Oil Level Control (ideal level: 2/3 of max. level).
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. Air can be sucked in suddenly when the boat rocks in heavy seas, if the oil level is at a minimum. This affects the grease in the bearings. It is therefore necessary to check the oil level daily before initially running the generator. The oil level must be topped up to the 2/3 of the maximum level, if the level drops below the mark between maximum und minimum levels.
You should change the oil, regardless off the ambient temperature. See section F.3, “Engine oil
specification,” on Page 100. Engine oil amounts see section F.1, “Technical data,” on Page 93.
2. State of Cooling Water.
The external compensation tank should be filled up to a maximum of in a cold state. It is very important that large expansion area remains above the cooling water level.
3. Open Sea Cock for Cooling Water Intake.
For safety reasons, the seacock must be closed after the generator has been switched off. It should be re-opened before starting the generator.
4. Check Raw water Filter.
The raw water filter must be regularly checked and cleaned. The impeller fatigue increases, if residual affects the raw water intake.
Page 48 AGT-DC_11000_48V_PMS_eng.R01 - Chapter A: The Panda Generator 18.12.08
The Panda Generator
A.4.2 Daily routine checks before starting (Forts.)
5. Check all Hose Connections and Hose Clamps are Leakage.
Leaks at hose connections must be immediately repaired, especially the raw water impeller pump. It is certainly possible that the raw water impeller pump will produce leaks, depending upon the situation. (This can be caused by sand particles in the raw water etc.) In this case, immediately exchange the pump, because the dripping water will be sprayed by the belt pulley into the sound insulated casing and can quickly cause corrosion.
6. Check all electrical Lead Terminal Contacts are Firm.
This is especially the case with the temperature switch contacts, which automatically switch off the generator in case of faults. There is only safety if these systems are regularly checked, and these systems will protect the generator, when there is a fault.
7. Check the Motor and Generator Mounting Screws are Tight.
The mounting screws must be checked regularly to ensure the generator is safe. A visual check of these screws must be made, when the oil level is checked.
8. Switch the Land Electricity/Generator Switch to Zero before Starting or Switch Off all the Consumers.
The generator should only be started when all the 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. In certain circumstances, this can lead to the generator being re-excitated by means of a DC source. If the generator does not excitate itself when starting, then excitation by means of DC must be carried out again.
9. Check the Automatic Controls Functions and Oil Pressure.
Removing a cable end from the monitoring switch carries out this control test. The generator should then automatically switch off. Please adhere to the inspection timetable (see Checklist in the appendix).

A.4.5 Starting the generator by a „Failure bypass switch“
ATTENTION:
If the generator switches itself off at operation for temperature reasons, it must be examined immediately, which the cause is. That can be an error at the cooling system, drive belt or any error in the range of the outside cooling system. With cooling water loss: Errors locate and cooling water refill.
After the error was repaired, the lying error message (e.g. by temperature rise) can be bridged with failure bypass switch. As long as the switch is held down, the error messages are switched off. The generator can be started then over the remote control panel. If the generator switched off by temperature rise, the operating temperature can be lowered in this way by a short running time
(natural without load), so that the error message releasing switches decreases/goes back again into the starting position.

Installation Instructions
B. Installation Instructions
B.1 Placement
B.1.1 Placement and basemount
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). Please also note that in spite of the automatic oil-pressure sensor it is still essential that the oil level has to be checked regularly.
The generator should not be installed in the proximity of light walls, which can get into resonant vibrations by airborne sound. If this is not possible, these surfaces should line with 1mm lead foil, so the mass and the swinging behavior are changed.
Avoid to install the generator on a smooth surface with small mass (e.g. plywood plate). This affects in the unfavorable case like an amplifier the airborne sound waves. An improvement obtains by compound these surfaces by ribs. Also break-throughs should be sawed, which interrupt the surface. Disguising the surrounding walls with a heavy layer (e.g. lead) plus foam material improves the conditions additionally.
The engine draws its inlet combustion air through several holes in the capsule base. Therefore the capsule must be fitted with sufficient clearance between the capsule underside and the base plate (min. 12mm (½")).
The generator sucks its air from the surrounding engine room. Therefore it must be ensured that sufficient ventilation openings are present, so that the genset cannot overheat.
High temperature of the intake air decline the power of the genset and increases the coolant temperature. Air temperatures of more than 40°C reduce the power by 2% per temperature rise of
5°C. In order to keep these effects as small as pos sible, the temperature in the engine room should not be higher than 15°C in relation to the o utside temperature.
B.1.2 Notice for optimal sound insulation
The convenient base consists of a stable framework, on which the generator is fastened by means of shock-mounts.
Since the genset is "free" downward, the combustion air can be sucked in unhindered.
In addition are void the vibrations, which would arise with a closed soil.

B.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 regulations. The supplied cables are rated for ambient temperatures up to 70°C (160°F). If the cables are required to meet higher temperature requirements, they must be run through conduits.

Installation Instructions
B.3 Cooling system installation - raw water
B.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 (corrosion protection)“ is to be considered.
B.3.2 Installation of the thru-vessel fitting in Yachts
It is good practice for yachts to use a hull inlet fitting with an integrated strainer. The thru-vessel fitting (raw water intake) is often mounted against the sailing direction to induce more water intake for cooling.
For Panda generators, the thru-vessel inlet should NOT point in the sailing direction! When sailing at higher speeds more water will be forced into the inlet than what the pump can handle and your generator will overflood!
Fig. B.3.2-1: Thru/vessel fitting
B.3.3 Quality of the raw water sucking in line
In order to keep the suction resistance in the line at a minimum, the raw water intake system (i.e.
sea cock, thru-hull fitting, inlet filter, etc.) must have an inner diameter of at least 1" (25mm).
This applies also to installation components such as thru-hull fitting, sea cock, raw water filter etc.
The intake suction line should be kept as short as possible. Install the raw water inlet in close proximity to the genset.
After start-up the cooling water quantity must be measured (e.g. by catching at the exhaust). The flow rate, as well as the necessary cross section of the cooling water pipe
take from section F.1,“Technical data,” on page 93.
18.12.08
AGT-DC_11000_48V_PMS_eng.R01 - Chapter B: Installation Instructions Page 53
Installation Instructions
B.3.4 Installation above waterline
The Panda is equipped with a direct drive water intake pump mounted directly on the motor.
Since the intake pump is an impeller pump there are wearing parts which will likely require replacement after some time. Ensure that the genset is installed such that the intake pump can be easily accessed. If this is not possible, an external intake pump could be installed in an easily accessed location.
If the generator is installed above the waterline it is possible that the impeller wearout will be stronger. After the start the pump runs dry some seconds.
The raw water hose should describe a loop as near as possible to the raw water inlet of the generator (see picture below). With it the pump only sucks in air for a short time. The impeller will be lubricated by the raw water and its life time will rise.
By the installation of a check valve in the raw water inlet line, which is under the waterline, this problem can be limited a little .
It is very important to change the impeller every few month. When starting the generator you should pay attention and listen when raw water comes out from the exhaust. If this lasts longer than 5 seconds the impeller has to be changed, because he sucks to much air before raw water reaches the impeller and the impeller wears out strongly. In this case the impeller looses its function, which leads to an overheating of the engine.
If the impeller isn’t exchanged early enough, the impeller wings can break into pieces and clog the cooling circuit. Therefore it is very important to change the impeller every few month.
NOTE:
Never change the impeller for many years, without 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.
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.

2. Water cock
3. Hull inlet
Make certain that the raw water filter lies above the water level, otherwise with cleaning water can penetrate by the hull inlet.

B.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 connecting nipple by a hose end. Both hose ends must be led out outside of the sound cover to one point, if possible 600mm over the waterlinee in the midship line. The valve is connected at the highest place with the two hose ends. If the valve is blocked, the cooling water pipe cannot be ventilated after the stop of the generator, the water column is not interrupted and the water can penetrate into the combustion chamber of the engine. This leads to the destruction of the engine!

B.4 The freshwater - coolant circuit
B.4.1 Position of the external cooling water expansion tank
The Panda generator is normally supplied with an additional, external cooling 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.
If this 500mm should be fallen below, i.e. the cooling water expansion tank is lower installed, very large problems can occur with filling and ventilating.
Extend and displace the hose lines to the outside or possibly even up to the deck.
18.12.08
Fig. B.4.1-1: External cooling water expansion tank
ATTENTION! The external cooling water expansion tank may be filled only up to the lower edge of the lower tension tape (see note "max") in the maximum filling level in cold condition.
Anti-freeze
In the interest of safety, the freezing point of the closed circuit coolant should be checked on a
regular basis. Be sure that the coolant/antifreeze mixture is good for at least -15°C (5°F) and if it is possible that your genset experiences lower temperatures, for example during storage or transportation, then the entire cooling system should be drained and purged. To purge the cooling system, compressed air at about 0.5 bar (7.5 psi) is sufficient.
B.4.2 Pressure test for control of cooling water circuit
Check with the hand if a temperature difference exists whether between cooling water in-flow and cooling water return.
Feel the cooling water in-flow line at the internal cooling water pump.
Feel the cooling water return pipe either at the outlet of the water-cooled exhaust elbow union or at the side, where this pipe entry at the heat exchanger.
The temperature difference between in-flow and return is approx 10 degrees.

B.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.
B.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. The exhaust hose has an inner diameter of 40mm
(1.6") (Panda 14000 and above approx. 50mm). The water lock must be installed at the lowest point of the exhaust system. An optional noise insulated water lock can also be installed. The exhaust hose descends from the capsule to the water lock. Then the hose rises via the "goose neck" to the silencer (see drawing). The goose neck must be vertical and sit preferably along the ship's keel centre line. The exhaust system must be installed so that the back pressure inside the exhaust does not exceed 0.4 bar (6 psi) and total length does not exceed 6m (20 ft.).
Exhaust diameter see section F.1,“Technical data,” on page 93.

B.5.2 Exhaust / water separator
The 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. Thereby the exhaust noises at the exterior of the yacht are strongly decreased. Particularly the "water plash" allocate.
The water flow on the exhaust/water separator unit has an inner diameter (ID) of 30mm. If the path from the water separator to the raw water outlet is very short, the hose can be further reduced to 1" (25mm) ID.

B.5.3 Installation exhaust/water separator
If the exhaust/water separator was sufficiently highly installed, a goose neck is no longer necessary. 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. The best result is reached, if the hose line, which derive the cooling water, is relocate on a short way "falling" directly to the outlet and this outlet is under the waterline.

If the thru-hull exhaust outlet has to be mounted far from the generator, an exhaust-water separator must definitely be installed. The raw water from the separator must then run along the shortest possible path is the thru-hull outlet. For such long exhaust routes, the exhaust hose diameter should also be increased from NW40mm to NW50mm in order to reduce the back-pressure. The exhaust may have a length of over 10m (32 ft.) if the exhaust hose diameter is increased to

B.6 Fuel system installation
B.6.1 General references
Inside the generator capsule itself, there is the fuel filter installed (Exception Panda 4500). Additional 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. Do not connect the generator fuel supply lines with any other fuel lines of other diesel systems.
The following items need to be installed:
- Fuel supply pump (12V-DC)
- Pre-filter with water separator (not part of the delivery)
- Fine particle fuel filter
- Return fuel line to fuel tank (unpressurized)
The fuel supply pump should be mounted as close to the fuel tank as possible. The electric cable for the fuel pump is already installed on the generator (length 5m).

B.6.2 The electrical fuel pump
Electrical fuel pump
With the Panda generator is usually supplied an external, electrical fuel pump (12V
DC). The fuel pump must be installed close at the fuel tank. The electrical connections are preloaded at the generator with the lead planned.
Fig. B.6.2-1: Fuel pump
• Suction hight of the pump: max. 1,2m at 02, bar
• Diameter of fuel lines: section F.1,“Technical data,” on page 93.
B.6.3 Connection of the fuel lines at the tank
Lead the return fuel pipe connected to the day tank to the floor
The return pipe connected to the tank must be dropped to the same depth as the suction pipe, if the generfator is mounted higher than the tank, in order to prevent fuel running back into the tank after the motor has been switched off, which can lead to enormous problems if the generator is switched off for a long period.
Non-return Valve in the Suction Pipe
A non-return valve must be fitted to the suction pipe, which prevents the fuel flowing back after the generator has been switched off, if it is not possible to use the return flow pipe as a submerge pipe be placing it in the tank. The instructions "Bleeding Air from the Fuel System" must be read after initial operation or after it has stood still for a long period, in order to preserve the starter battery.
ATTENTION! Non-return valve for the fuel return pipe
If the fuel tank should be installed over the level of the generator (e.g. daily tank), then a non-return valve must be installed into the fuel return pipe to guaranteed that through the return pipe no fuel is led into the injection pump.

B.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. A further advantage of a separate starter battery is that it isolates the generator’s electric systemfrom the the rest of the boat's DC system, i.e. minus pole (-) is not conected electrically to Earth/Ground.
The generator is then Earth/Ground free with regard to the rest of the boat.

Electrical fuses
It is absolutely essential that the electrical system installation is inspected by a qualified electrical technician. The generator should have its own AC input electrical fuses. The fuses should be sized such that the rated current of the generator on each of the individual phases is not exceeded by more than 25%.
Data for gensets with power output greater than 30kW on request!
The fuses must be of the slow type. A 3-way motor protection switch must be installed to protect the electrical motor.
Required cable cross-sections
The following recommended electrical cable dimensions (cross sections) are the minimum requi-
red sizes for a safe installation. (see section F.1,“Technical data,” on page 93.)
B.7.3 Voltage control system - See VCS datasheet
The VCS control is used for the adjustment of the number of revolutions of the engine and thus the voltage of the generator. It belongs to the accessories and is externally attached.

C. Maintenance Instructions
ATTENTION! Before working on the System read the section “Safety Precautions,” on page 10.
C.1 General maintenance instructions
C.1.1 Checks before starting
• Oil level
• Cooling system leaks
• Visual check for any changes, leaks oil drain system, v-belt, cable connections, hose clips, air filter, fuel lines
Once a month
• Lubrication of actuator-trapezoid thread spindle
For Maintenance Intervalls see section F.3, “Engine oil specification,” on Page 100.
C.1.2 Hose elements and rubber formed component in the sound cover
Check all hoses and hose connections for good condition. The rubber hoses are very sensitive to enviromental influences. They can season fast with dry air, in which environment of muted oil and fuel steams and increased temperature. The hoses must be checked regularly for elasticity.
There are operating situations, at which the hoses must be renewed once in the year.
Additionally to usual tasks of maintenance (oil level check, oil filter control etc.) further maintenance activities are to be accomplished for marine gensets. It belongs control of the sacrificial anode (cooling water connection block) and the front seal cover at the generator.
C.2 Oil circuit maintenance
The first oil change is to be accomplished after a period of operation from 35 to 50 hours. Afterwards the oil is to be changed after 100 hours. For this the oil SAE30 for temperatures over 20°C and SAE20 for temperatures between 5°C and 20°C is to be used. At temperatures under 5°C oil of the viscosity SAE10W or 10W-30 is prescribed.
Type and amount of required oil see:

C.4 Ventilating the fuel system
Normally, the fuel system is designed to bleed out air itself i.e. as soon as the electric starter motor starts operation the fuel pump starts working and the fuel system will be ventilated after some time automatically. It is nevertheless essential to bleed the system as follows prior to the first operation (as all hoses are empty):
1. Switch the main power switch on control panel to „ON“. Functional components must illuminate.
2. Push failure bypass switch and hold tight. The electric fuel pump has to be running audibly. By moving the failure bypass switch you can hear the solenoid valve of the generator starting and stopping (when the sound cover is taken off).
Fig. C.4-1: Failure bypass switch
Page 72 AGT-DC_11000_48V_PMS_eng.R01 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions 18.12.08
Maintenance Instructions
18.12.08
3. After the fuel pump has been running 3 to 4 minutes because the failure bypass switch has been pushed down the ventilation screw of the solenoid valve has to be unscrewed. When opening the screw one has to carry on pushing the switch. To avoid fuel getting in the sound cover a piece of cloth or absorbent paper should be put under the connection. As soon as fuel is running out without bubbles the ventilation screw can be screwed in again.
Now stop pushing the failure bypass switch.
10
Fig. C.4-2: Ventilation screw - fuel solenoid valve
4. Now the unit can be started by pushing the "START"-button. The unit should start after a short while.
5. Should the unit not start the pipe union nuts of the injection nozzles has to be loosen and try again to start the unit.
After the unit has started the pipe union nut has to be tightened again.
6. Main power switch "OFF".

Fig. C.4-3: Injection nozzle
C.4.1 Replace the fuel filter
The replace of the filter depends on the contamination of the fuel, should take place at least all 300 operation hours.
Before the replace of the filter the inlet must be clamped.
Remove the hoses from the used filter and fasten them to the new filter. The arrow on the filter housing indicates the direction of the fuel flow. A clogged filter causes a decreased power output of the generator.
Fig. C.4-1: Fuel filter
AGT-DC_11000_48V_PMS_eng.R01 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions Page 73
C.4.2 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.
Fig. C.4-1: External fuel filter with water separator
C.5 Replace the air filter
Open the air suction housing by loosen the two snap fastenings and remove the cover.

C.6 Ventilating 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 ventilate the cooling system. This ventilation procedure must be repeated several times:
ATTENTION ! Before opening the venilation points the generator must be stagnant !!!
Pay attention that the external coolant expansion tank is connected with the generator by the two intended connection points.
Further it should be guatanteed that the expansion tank is attached in sufficient height (600mm) over the level of the generator exhaust elbow union.

AGT-DC_11000_48V_PMS_eng.R01 - Chapter C: Maintenance Instructions Page 75
Maintenance Instructions
Now the cooling water is only filled over the external expansion tank. This is connected by 2 hoses with the genset.
The external expansion tank should be filled in the cold condition only up to maximally
20%. It is very important that a large extension space over the cooling water level remains.
Repeat this procedure several times.
If no change of the cooling water level can be determined, the generator is started for 5 minutes.
Afterwards repeat the ventilation two - three times.
It is meaningful to repeat the ventilation procedure also after some days again to guarantee that in the system remained bubbles are removed.
The ventilation screw over the housing of the cooling water pump may be opened under no circumstances, while the generator runs. If this happens inadvertently, through the opening air is sucked in. A very complex ventilation of the entire system is necessary thereafter.
Fig. C.6-4: entilation screw - water pump
C.6.1 Draining the coolant
In principle only describes here, how the cooling water of the raw water cycle can be drained. The mixture of the fresh water circuit should not be drained in principle. See measures for the preparation of the winter storage.
The simplest and cleanest method consists of the fact to bring the external vent valve below the generator level and hold over a collecting basin. Open the valve now, the water from the raw water circuit flows downward into the container.
C.7
Replace the v-belt
for the internal cooling water pump
The relative high ambient temperature in the closed sound insulated capsule (about 85°C) can be a reason for a reduced lifespan of the v-belts. It is possible that the "softener" in the rubber compound lose their effect after a short operating time because the air in the sound insulated capsule can be relative warm and dry.
The v-belt must be controlled in a very short time interval. It can be happen to change the v-belt after some weeks because of unfavorably conditions. Therefore the control is needed in an interval of 100 operating hours. The v-belt ia a wearing part. It should be enough spare v-belts on board. We suggest to stand by the according service-packet.

C.8 The raw water circuit
C.8.1 Clean raw water filter
The raw water filter should be released regularly from arrears. In each case the water cock must be closed before. It is mostly sufficient to beat the filter punnet.
If water should seep through the cover of the raw water filter, this may be sealed in no case with adhesive or sealant. Rather must be searched for the cause for the leakage. In the simplest case the sealing ring between caps and filter holders must be exchanged.

Maintenance Instructions
C.8.2 Causes with frequent impeller waste
The impeller of the cooling water pump must be regarded as wearing part. The life span of the impeller can be extremely different and exclusively depends on the operating conditions. The cooling water pumps of the PANDA generators are laid out in such a way that the number of revolutions of the pump lies low compared with other gensets. This is for the life span of the pump a positive effect.
Unfavorably affects the life span of the impeller, if the cooling water sucking in way is relatively long or the supply is handicapped, so that the cooling water sucking in range develops a negative pressure. This can reduce first of all the power of the cooling water pump extremely that the wings of the impeller are exposed to very strong loads. This can shorten the life span extremely.
Further the operation of the impeller pump loaded in waters with a high portion of suspended matters. The use of the impeller pump is particularly critical in coral waterbodies. Cases are wellknown, which a impeller pump had so strongly run after 100 hours already that the lip seal on the wave was ground in. In these cases sharp crystal parts of the coral sand assess in the rubber seal and affect like an abrasive the high-grade steel shank of the impeller pump.
If the generator were mounted over the water level it is particularly unfavorable for the impeller pump. After the first start some seconds will pass by, until the impeller can suck in cooling water.
This short unlubricated operation time damages the impeller. The increased wear can lead after short time to the loss. (see special notes: "Effects on the impeller pump, if the generator is mounted over the waterline")
C.8.3 Replace the impeller

C.9 Additional maintenance
Furthermore in addition to the standards checks according to the manual following points of the generator have to be checked:
• automatic shut down of the generator in case off high heating temperature
This shall be done by disconnecting the thermo-switch of the heat sink. Next to the rectifier you will find a 2-pole connector. If you disconnect this connector from the opposite socket, the generator shall shut down – or, when the generator is not running you will get a signal on the panel.
Fig. C.9-1: Rectifier
Temperatures of the rectifier and heating
• Apply a thermocouple meter to the heat sink and the copper bars and monitor the maximum temperatures of the rectifier.
• With the help of the infrared thermometer you can check all the temperatures on the rectifier.
Check all the cable connections of the DC- wiring. The easiest is to touch them carefully with your finger. If they are getting warm or getting hot, these connections are poor and shall be replaced.
The temperature of the heat sink shall never exceed 95°C.
The temperature of the copper bars shall never exceed 120°C
Ensure, that a fuse next to the battery is installed in the battery line for the generator output cable.
Ensure that a battery switch is installed in the battery line. Never leave the generator behind without the cover mounted over the heat sink and capsule not closed.
Remind the customer
• to run the generator only with closed capsule.
• not to run the generator unattended
• to ask for regular service

C.10 Conservation at longer operation interruption
C.10.1Measures 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. The leaked cooling water with the exhaust is to be led back into the sucking in container. The circuit must be kept upright some minutes to guaranteed that the anti-freeze protection mixture reaches all ranges of the cooling system.
2. The concentration of the anti-freeze mixture in the internal cooling circuit must be checked with a suitable measuring instrument. The concentration must be furnished according to the lowest temperatures which can be expected.
3. Clean raw water filter and check seal.
4. Check water cock for practicability. And spray with a corrosion protection oil from the inside or lubricate with acidless grease.
5. Check all hoses and hose connectors for good condition. The rubber hoses are very sensitive to enviromental influences. They can age fast with dry air, in environment of light oil and fuel steams and increased temperature. The hoses must be checked regularly for elasticity. There are operating situations, which the hoses must be renewed once in the year.
6. Check the hose connectors at all raw water valves doubly and if possible protect them with double hose clamps.
7. Dismount the impeller of the cooling water pump and check for wear. The impeller may not remain in the pump. It must be greased with vaseline and be kept at a dark place. It can be reintragrated in the spring again into the pump, if it is in good condition. The impeller is a wearing part, it is recommended to renew it always in the spring, independently how many operating hours the genset ran.
8. Control of the vent valve at the raw water inlet. If the generator is installed below the waterline, always a vent valve is necessary. The vent valve must be checked also during the season regularly. In the winter storage the vent valve should always be disassembled, checked and greased. Hardens or got parts dirty are to be replaced.
9. Check water lock: If the generator were rinsed with an anti-freeze mixture, the antifreeze mixture can leave in the water lock. If the generator were rinsed with fresh water, the water in the water lock must be drained. Otherwise the danger exists that the collector is blown up and destroyed by ice.
10.Check the exhaust/water separator on leakage and if the hose connectors at the lower surface of the separation unit are in normal condition. (with extremely sulfureous fuels it is possible that also high-grade steel tube ends are attacked.)
11. Check all construction units at the generator inside the sound cover for leakages. If there are traces of humidity in the sound cover, the cover must be dried. Further the cause for the wetness must be surched and eliminated.
12.During the winter storage the upper section of the sound cover must be taken off, in order to avoid condensed moisture formation, if traces of humidity remain in the sound cover inside casing by leakages in the raw water circuit.

Maintenance Instructions
C.10.1Measures on preparation of the winter storage
13.The generator housing and the housing of the engine should be sprayed with a corrosion protection oil before the winter storage. This procedure is recommended also in the season. This procedure can avoid that arising and humidity marks on the surface of the aluminum construction units be noticed too late.
14.Disconnect the starter battery (positive and negative pole).
15.Lubricate the spindle for the number of revolutions adjustment device with a special lubricant
(Antiseize grease).
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. If the surface is only grey coated, this is only an indication for the fact that aluminum came into contact with condensed moisture.)
17.Use of a air dehumidifier. The best way to protect a yacht in the winter storage against damage by humidity is, to places a air dehumidifier inside the ship and locks all hatches. The devices have a hygrometer, which switches the device off, if the humidity is under the adjusted value. There is no better method, in order to protect pads, cable, electronics, wood, engines etc. optimally against any rotting by humidity.
C.10.2Initiation at spring
• Before the first start turn the engine once with the hand, in order to eliminate necessary existing corrosion beginnings in the bushing. If necessarily carry out normal engine inspection.
• Change engine oil and engine oil filters.
• Reintegrate the impeller of the cooling water pump and check pump for leakage.
• Charge starter battery of the generator, connect cables and check battery voltage.
• Start generator and check the basic adjustments of the generator such as voltage, speed regulation etc..
• Check all switching off devices for function by operational procedures.

Note:
• The „TC“ marking on the flywheel is just for No. 1 cylinder. There is no „TC“ marking for the other cylinders.
• No. 1 piston comes to the T.D.C. position when the „TC“ marking is aligned with the projection in the window on flywheel-housing. Turn the flywheel 15° (0.26 rad.) clockwise and counterclockwise to see if the piston is at the compression top dead center or the overlap position. Now referring to the table below, readjust the valve clearance. (The piston is at the top dead center when both the IN. and EX. valve do not move; it is at the overlap position when both the valves move.)
• Finally turn the flywheel 360° (6.28 rad.) to ali gne the „TC“ marking and the projection perfectly.
Adjust all the other valve clearances as required.
• After turning the flywheel counterclockwise twice or three times, recheck the valve clearance.
• After adjusting the valve clearance, firmly tighten the lock nut of the adjusting screw.

Generator Failure
D. Generator Failure
ATTENTION! Before working on the System read the section “Safety Precautions,” on page 10.
D.1 Overloading the generator
Please ensure that the genset is not overloaded. An overload in the long term can harm the engine. In addition the exhaust gases are soot-blackened (environment).
The full rated output of the generator is primarily intended for brief use.
80% of the nominal load are calculated as constant load should be in the interest of a long life span of the engine.
D.2 Starting problems
D.2.1 Fuel solenoid valve and stop solenoid
For start problems the possibility of an error exists with the solenoid for engine stop or fuel solenoid 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. It opens automatically, if the
"START"-button is pressed on the remote control panel. The solenoid valve is CLOSED when the generator main power is switched "OFF". For this reason, it requires a few seconds before the motor comes to a full halt
If the generator fails to start, runs rough, does not reach the proper RPM, or does not stop properly, the first item to suspect in most cases is the fuel solenoid valve and should be inspected first.
A check of the fuel solenoid valve by removing the plug from the fuel solenoid valve for a short period whilst in operation (first remove the small retention screw) and replace it immediately. The motor should "react immediately" by revving high.If the motor does not react sharply to the reconnection of the solenoid wire, it is a sign that the solenoid valve could be faulty.
2. Solenoid for engine stop
The solenoid for engine stop is located at the injection pump.
1. Energized to stop
By pressing the "OFF"-button on the remote control panel, the solenoid is supplied with voltage and attracts, whereby the fuel injection pump resets to the zero position and the generator stops.
2. Energized to run
This version is equipped with two solenoids an actuating and a stop solenoid. After being fed with current, the actuating solenoid attracts the adjusting lever of the fuel injection pump, through which the fuel can flow. The actuating solenoid is switched parallel to the starter motor, the stop solenoid is switched parallel to the fuel pump. The position is held by the stop solenoid as long as the generator is running.

Generator Failure
D.2.2 VCS does not work - See VCS datasheed for details
For start problems one chief cause is that the VCS doen not work. Check:
Is the shunt connection ok? Check polatrity!
Is the main supply connection ok? Check polatrity!
Does DP+ (VCS ON) lie on clamp 6 of the plug with 6 pins?
Checking the fuse on the VCS printed circuit board.
D.2.3 Dirty fuel filter
If the fuel filter is dirty change the filter element.
For replacing the filter element see
section C.4.1, “Replace the fuel filter” on page 73.
01. Filter element
This protects the injection pump. No water will go thru the filter. If water reaches the filter it will block the fuel flow even if the filter looks clean

Fig. D.2.3-1: Fuel filter
D.2.4 Fuse on control panel board
It is possible, that the fuse on the control panel board is defective. Change the fuse if it is defective.

D.2.5 Failure bypass switch
ATTENTION:
If the generator switches itself off at operation for temperature reasons, it must be examined immediately, which the cause is. That can be an error at the cooling system, drive belt or any error in the range of the outside cooling system. With cooling water loss: Errors locate and cooling water refill.
After the error was repaired, the lying error message (e.g. by temperature rise) can be bridged with failure bypass switch. As long as the switch is held down, the error messages are switched off. The generator can be started then over the remote control panel. If the generator switched off by temperature rise, the operating temperature can be lowered in this way by a short running time
(natural without load), so that the error message releasing switches decreases/goes back again into the starting position.

Engine oil specification
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 (larger number = more viscous, lower number = more highly liquidly) e.g. to 0W, 10W, 15W, 20, 30, 40. The first number shows the liquid of cold weather, the second number refers to the fluidity with heat. Complete yearly oils have usually SAE 10W-40, SAE 15W-40 etc.
Quality of oil:
The quality of an engine oil is specified by the API standard ("American Petroleum Institutes"). The API designation is to be found on each engine oil bundle. The first letter is always a C.
API C for diesel engines
The second letter is for the quality of the oil. The more highly the letter in the alphabet, the better the C quality.
Examples for diesel engine oil:
API CG Engine oil for highest demands, turbo-tested above 25°C
0°C to 25°C below 0°C
Engine oil types
SAE30 or SAE10W-30; SAE10W-40
SAE20 or SAE10W-30; SAE10W-40
SAE10W or SAE10W-30; SAE10W-40

The glow time can be interupted by pressing the enter button (for example, when the engine is already warmed up).
ATTENTION: If there is difficulty in starting - close the seacock ( Panda Marine Generators only)
If the generator engine does not start immediately and further start attempts are necessary, then the seacock MUST be closed (i.e. for ventilating the fuel lines etc.) The cooling water impeller pump turns automatically and draws cooling water as long as the motor is turning. If the diesel motor is running, the cooling water is blown out by the exhaust system gases. The cooling water cannot be pressed through the exhaust as long as the diesel motor does not run at sufficient speed. This leads to severe motor damage.
Open the seavalve as soon as the generator is started.

A.6 Error Message
The AGT Control Panel are pre-installed in such a way, that a max. operation reliability is ensured. That means,
The AGT Control Panel displays the error messages in different ways.
- appropriate LED changes from green on red (e.g. oil-press)
- general fault LED changes from green on red
- display of the error in the operating mode of the display (see …) - only if the error is set to "display only"
- display changes to delayed error display (see …) - only if the error is set to "delayed"
- display changes to the error display - only if the error is set to "emergency stop".
The appropriate settings can only be made by Fischer Panda or an authorized Fischer Panda Service Point.
For standard configuration see section A.6.5, “Error Messages,” on page 116.

General operation
A.6.1 Type of Error „Emergency Stop“
The report for this error is activated.
Fault-LED changes to red (at temperature errors or oil pressure errors the appropriate error LED )
The display changes to error display
The generator stops immediately
The external error output will be switched for approx. 5 sec. (clamp 21)
The setting "emergency stop" ensures highest security to avoid consequential damages for the generator.
A.6.2 Type of Error „Delayed“
The report for this error is activated.
- Fault LED changes to red (at temperature errors or oil pressure errosr the appropriate fault LED)
- Display changes to "delayed errors" display and starts a countdown
- Generator stops after the countdown
- External error output will be swiched.
Vehicles with Diesel Electric Drive Systems are relayed on the driving power for safe manoeuvring. If an emergency shut-down cuts off the drive (i.e. in order to protect the generator against damage), this can lead to a high danger situation for ship, crew and passengers. With the "delayed" error, the driver has the possibility to reach a safe area. A possible considerable damage to the generator is in this situation accepted by the driver.
Resetting the countdown will be reported in the error log and leads to a loss of warranty. Therefore, only use the resetting in emergency situations.
A.6.3 Type of Error „Display only“
The report for this error is activated.
- Fault-LED changes to red (at temperature error or oil pressure error the appropriate fault LED)
- Display of the error in the operating mode of the display
- Generator does not stop
- External error output will be switched.
Only for errors which do not affect the system security.

A.6.4 Type of Error „Deactivated“
The report for this error is deactivated.
- Fault-LED does not change to red (at temperature error or oil pressure error the appropriate fault LED)
- No display of the error
- Generator does not stop
All error types, which are not needed in the generator / drive configuration can be deactivated.
A.6.5 Error Messages
The following errors can be displayed:
Oil error (oil pressure error)

A.2.1 Gerneral working of the VCS
When the VCS is active (+12V on clamp 6) the VCS controls the actuator to reach the exact voltage.
The mesurement voltage is taken from the generator by an shunt which has 60mV nominal.
A.2.2 Safety instructions for the voltage control
• A broken cable in the mesurement line will be notice by the VCS and the generator will slow down and stop.
• A short circiut in the mesurement line or a wrong pol connection is not noticed by the VCS (its like that there is no voltage). The voltage control in this vase ist out of funktion. It is necessary at the installation to check the right working of the VCS and a second overvoltage protection must be installed.
• For the mesurement voltage a shieldet cable is needet, it must be less than 3 mtr long. The shield should be connected to ground at one side.
Note the safety instruction in the generator manual!
Please Note!
• Run the generator with closed sound cover only
• Recommend: install a smoke connection.
• Ask for regular service

See the safety instruction of your Generator and all other parts of your system
Electrical power: DANGER TO LIVE!
Electrical voltages above 48 volts (battery chargers greater than 36 volts) are always dangerous to life). The rules of the respective regional authority must be adhered to. Only an electrician may carry out installation of the electrical connections for safety reasons.

Battery monitor in DIN-tracks housing (RE9517)
Fischer Panda Datenblatt/Datasheet
A.2 Brief description
Automatic monitoring of a battery voltage. If the adjusted threshold for battery undervoltage is fallen below, then (e.g.
over the AGT panel RE9513) a battery charge generator is started. If the adjusted threshold for charge voltage is crossed, then the generator - at expiration of an adjustable deceleration time - is stopped.
A.3 Function
Battery undervoltage, charge voltage and delay time can be stopped over potentiometers. If battery undervoltage was recognized, this is indicated over an LED. Threshold excesses and falling below must line up min. 40s, so that a shifting process can be released. The battery monitor supplies itself from the battery which can be supervised. The exit is electrically isolated by an opto coupler from this electric circuit. As output logic element the output transistor of the optocoupler is used. Thus the output signal is polarized and the exit must be attached correctly. A wrong polarity of the exit can lead to the destruction of the battery guard, as well as attached devices!
A.4 Technical data and settings
The battery monitor is setup for a definied voltage. (i.e. 24V or 36V). It is not possible to change these voltage.

• charge conclusion delay time: 10min - 2h
• tolerance of the delay time: ± 20%
The adjusted value for charge conclusion voltage can be based on the clamp 3 against clamp 2 (minus). The adjusted value for battery undervoltage can be based on the clamp 4 against clamp 2 (minus). In each case the operation voltage per cell is measured. Absolute operation voltage can be determined, by multiplying measured voltage with the number of cells. For the measurement use only a multimeter with an impedance
≥
10MOhm, since otherwise substantial measuring errors arise.
Direction of rotation of the trimmers: Turn in the clockwise direction = larger value
By a drilling below clamp 1 is accessible with a small screwdriver a tracer, which makes it possible, for test purposes, to switch between the two switching status back and forth. This functioned however only if the battery voltage is within the adjusted borders. Outside of the limit values the battery guard cannot be affected by the tracer.

A.1 General
Starting with March 2007 the Fischer Panda generators type 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 14 has got an extra impellerfilter.
A.2 How it works
When the impeller breaks, pieces of rubber will penetrate into the cooling system. This pieces can stock in the pipes with lower diameter (such as the heat exchanger) and reduce the cooling water flow. Expensive reconstruction and cleaning of the raw water circle is necessary.
The Fischer Panda impellerfilter hold this pieces of rubber back, so they can be easely removed. The flow through diameter of the cooling water is expanded in the impellerfilter, in emergency situation (like heavy sea) it is possible to change only the impeller itself and clean the impellerfilter afterwards at a better time. an emergency stop of the generator in fact of a to low cooling water flow and an overheating will be nearly banned. The impellefilter must be cleaned after each impeller break. If you are not sure that every piece of rubber is removed at the cleaning we recommend to change the impellerfilter.
A.3 Cleaning and replacement of the impellerfilter
The battery must always be disconnected, if work on the generator or electrical system is to be carried out, so that the generator cannot be unintentionally started.
Note the safety instruction in the generator manual.
Seawater valve must be shut.
Open the generator sound cover like it is explained in the generator manual!
ATTENTION!!! Parts of the generator and the cooling water may be hot after operation
!!!DANGER!!!
