Place of installation 1.2.
Installation Instructions 1.2.3 Advice for optimal sound insulation The convenient base consists of a stable framework, on which the generator is fastened by means of shockmounts. Since the aggregate is „free“ downwards, the combustion air can be sucked in unhindered. In addition the vibrations are void which would arise with a closed capsule base. 1.3 Fig. 1.2.3-1: Generator base Generator connections Connect all electrical wires within the capsule tightly to the motor and the generator.

Installation Instructions Ventilation valve Hose clamps Fig. 1.4.2-6: Ventilation valve Fig. 1.4.2-7: Hose clamps 1.4.3 Installation of the through hull fitting in Yachts - Schema It is good practice for yachts to use a 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. Fig. 1.4.
Installation Instructions 1.4.5 Generator installation above waterline The Panda is equipped with a water intake pump mounted on the motor. Since the intake pump is an impeller pump there are wearing parts which are likely to require replacement after a period of time. Ensure that the genset is installed so that the intake pump can be easily accessed.
Installation Instructions 1.4.6 Raw water installation schema Fig. 1.4.6-1: Raw water installation schema Seite/Page 58 - Kaptitel/Chapter 1: Installation Instructions 4.12.
Installation Instructions 1.4.7 Generator installation below waterline If the generator cannot be attached at least 600 mm above the waterline, a vent valve must be installed at the raw water line. Fig. 1.4.7-1: Vent valve Possible heeling must be taken into consideration if installed at the "mid-ship line"! The water hose for the external vent valve is located at the back of the sound insulated capsule.
Installation Instructions 1.5 Installation of the cooling system - fresh water 1.5.1 Position of the external cooling water expansion tank Position of the external cooling water expansion tank Fig. 1.5.1-1: 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 500 mm more highly arranged than the upper edge of the sound cover.

Installation Instructions Seacock Fig. 1.6.1-7: Seacock Hoseclamps Fig. 1.6.1-8: Hoseclamp 1.6.2 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 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.
Installation Instructions Fig. 1.6.2-1: Installation Scheme Standard Exhaust System 1.7 .Installation of the waterlock Pay attention to the right flow direction throught the waterlock. Note!: Unfortunately, it can occasionally occur that, because of an disadvantageous mounting position of the waterlock, sea water gets into the diesel engines’ combustion chamber. This disables the diesel engine by irreversible damages.
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. 1.7.1 Possible cause for water in the exhaust hose 1.7.1.1 Possible cause: exhaust hose If the cause is the exhaust hose itself, the following points are to be checked at the hose: a) Position of the waterlock is too high.
Installation Instructions Fig. 1.7.2-1: Installation area of the waterlock 1.7.3 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.
Installation Instructions Fig. 1.7.3.0-1: 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. 1.7.3.0-2: Testing the cooling water level 1 4.12.
Installation Instructions 1.7.3.1 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. See the following pictures: Fig. 1.7.3.1-1: Ideal position of the waterlock In Fig. 1.7.3.1-1, the waterlock is mounted in center underneath the generator.
Installation Instructions Fig. 1.7.3.1-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 1.7.3.1-3 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. 1.7.3.1-4: Tilted position 45 degrees Tilted position 45 degrees - Fig. 1.7.3.1-4 In this case the water level rise so high, that the distance constitutes only 325 mm.
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. Seite/Page 70 - Kaptitel/Chapter 1: Installation Instructions 4.12.
Installation Instructions 1.7.3.2 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.
Installation Instructions Fig. 1.7.3.2-3: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 1.7.3.2-3 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. Fig. 1.7.3.2-4: Tilted position 45 degrees Tilted position 45 degrees - Fig. 1.7.3.
Installation Instructions B) Installation distance between waterlock and the generator’s center line 1000 mm Fig. 1.7.3.2-5: waterlock, 1000 mm next to center line Fig. 1.7.3.2-6: Tilted position 15 degrees Tilted position 15 degrees - Fig. 1.7.3.2-6 The distance is, contrary to the original 600 mm, only 327 mm. This is very close to the critical point already. 4.12.
Installation Instructions Fig. 1.7.3.2-7: Tilted position 30 degrees Tilted position 30 degrees - Fig. 1.7.3.2-7 The water level and the critical point at the exhaust elbow are at the same level now. If the ship is sailed in a tilted position of 30 degrees with an installation like that, the infiltration of cooling water into the combustion chamber is inevitable. Irreparable damages are pre-programmed.
Installation Instructions Fig. 1.8.0-1: Installation Scheme exhaust / water separator 4.12.
Installation Instructions 1.8.1 Installation exhaust water separator If the exhaust water separator was sufficiently highly installed, a goose neck is no longer necessary. The exhaust/ water separator fulfils the same function. If the „Super silent“ exhaust system were installed correctly, the generator will not disturb your boat neighbour. The exhaust noise should be nearly inaudible.

Generator Failure 1. Generator Failure 1.1 Personal requirements The work described here, unless otherwise indicated, are performed by the operator. More repair work may be performed only by specially trained personnel or by authorized repair shops (Fischer Panda service points). This is especially for working on the valve timing, fuel injection system and the engine repair. 1.2 Safety instructions for this chapter Also consider the general safety instructions at the first pages of this manual.
Generator Failure Oil and fuel vapours can ignite on contact with ignition sources. Therefore: Warning!: Danger of fire - No open flames during work on the generator. - Do not smoke. - Remove oil and fuel residues from the generator and floor. Contact with engine oil, antifreeze and fuel can result in damage to health. Therefor: Danger!: Danger of poisoning - Avoid skin contact with engine oil, fuel and antifreeze. - Remove oil and fuel splashes and antifreeze from the skin immediately.
Generator Failure 1.3 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 • Measuring instrument for capacity • Current absorbing clamps • Thermometer (ideal is a infrared thermometer) • Pressure device (pincer) for coolant circuit 1.
Generator Failure 1.4.1 Low generator-output voltage Before working on the System read the section “Safety first!” on Page 12. ATTENTION! If the produced alternating voltage is too low, switch the load off, in order to relieve the generator. Mostly the problem already solved. If the output voltage is still too low, even if all load is switched off, the generator runs without load, you can assume one or more condensers are defective. 1.5 Starting problems 1.5.
Generator Failure 1.5.2 Dirty fuel filter If the fuel filter is dirty change the filter element. For replacing the filter element see section C.3.1, “Replacing fuel filter,” on page 79 Fuel filter 1.

Tables 1. Tables 1.1 Troubleshooting GENERATOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE TOO LOW If the generator delivers less than 24V current („undervoltage“), there can be various reasons for this: Cause Solution PGMi is overloaded. Reduce the electrical load. (Switch off load) Motor is not reaching the rated rpm. Refer to „motor faults“ section. MOTOR DOES NOT TURN OVER WHEN STARTING Cause Solution Battery main switch is switched off. Check the position of the battery main switch, if necessary switch on.
Tables DROP IN THE SPEED OF THE MOTOR Cause Solution Too much oil. Drain oil. Lack of fuel. Check fuel supply system: - fuel filter, renew if necessary - check fuel pump - check fuel lines (bleed if necessary) Lack of intake air. Check air intake paths. Check and clean air filter (and intake muffler if installed). Generator overloaded by too many load. Reduce the electrical load (switch off load). Defective generator (windings, bearings, or other).
