Fischer Panda
FISCHER GENERATORS have been manufactured since 1978 and are a well-known brand for first class diesel gene-
rators 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 gensets developed at that time set new technological standards worldwide.
The gensets became more efficient and powerful than other gensets 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 stabi-
lity 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 genset 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 gensets 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, Icemaster also supply the super compact high-tech sound-insulated battery charging
genset 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)

Attention, Important Directions regarding Operation!


1. The installation certificate must be completed when taken into use, and certified by a signature.
2. The installation certificate must be despatched within two weeks of use to ICEMASTER.
3. The official guaranty confirmation will be completed by ICEMASTER after receipt and sent to the customer.
4. A guaranty must be shown to make any claims.
Claims against the guaranty will not be accepted of the above said instructions are not, or only partially, carried out.

Manufacturer declaration in terms of the machine guideline 98/37/EG .


The generator is in such a way developed that all assembly groups correspond to the CE guidelines. If machine gui-
deline 98/37/EG is applicable, then it is forbidden to bring the generator into operation until it has been determined
that the system into which the generator is to be installed in also corresponds to the regulations of the machine gui-
deline 98/37/EG. This concerns among other things the exhaust system, cooling system and the electrical installa-
tion.
The evaluation of the "protection against contact" can only be accomplished in connection with the respective
system. Likewise among other things responsibility for correct electrical connections, a safe ground wire connection,
foreign body and humidity protection, protection against humidity due to excessive condensation as well as the over-
heating through appropriate and inappropriate use in its installed state on the respective machine lies within the
responsibility of those who undertake installation of the generator in the system.

Use the advantages of the customer registration:


• Thus you receive to extended product informations, which are sometimes safety-relevant
• you receive, if necessarily free Upgrades
Far advantages:
By your full information Fischer Panda technicians can give you fast assistance, since 90% of the disturbances result
from errors in the periphery.
Problems due to errors in the installation can be recognized in the apron.

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.

Protective Conductor:

The generator is „earthed " as standard (The centre and earth are connected by means of a bridge in the generator
terminal box). This is a basic safety function, which offers basic safety as long as no other component has been
installed. It is, above all, conceived for supply and an eventual test run.
This "earth" (PEN) is only effective, if all parts of the electrical system is earthed, and has a common “potential”. The
bridges can be removed, if this is required for technical reasons and another protection system has been installed.

The full voltage is exploited at the AC control box, when the generator is run. It must therefore be ensured
that the control box is closed and cannot be tampered with, if the generator is running.

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.

Switch off all load when working on the generator

All load must be disconnected, in order to avoid damages to the devices. In addition the semi conductors in the AC
control box must be disconnected in order to avoid the boat capacitors being activated. The minus pole of the battery
ought to be removed.

Capacitors are required to run the generator. These have two varying functions:
A) The working capacitors
B) The (Booster) capacitors
Both Groups are located in a sound cover of the genset.
Capacitors are electrical stores. There could be a residual of high electrical current at the contacts for a period dis-
connection from the circuit. The contacts my not be touched for safety reasons, If the capacitors are to be exchanged
or checked, then a short circuit between the contacts should be made so that the stored energy is discharged.
If the generator is switched off in the normal manner, the working capacitors are automatically discharged by means
of the windings. The booster capacitors are discharged by means of internal discharge resistors.
All capacitors must be short-circuited before work is carried out on the AC-Control box for safety reasons.

A.2.2 Components of Cooling System (Raw water )

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.2: Raw water intake

Raw water impeller pump


The raw water pump is fitted with a rub-
ber 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.

Fig. A.3: Raw water impeller pump

Heat exchanger
Separates the raw water system from the
freshwater system.

Fig. A.4: Heat exchanger

Page 14 Panda_8000NE_PMS_Digital_s00860_Operation manual.V01 - Chapter A: The Panda Generator 24.8.05


The Panda Generator

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. A hosepipe on the
generator casing has been produced for
this. Both connecting pieces are bridged
by a formed piece of hose.

Fig. A.5: Connection external vent valve

Raw water injector nozzle


The injection point for the marine genera-
tor water-cooled exhaust system is situa-
ted at the exhaust connection pieces The
exhaust connections must be regularly
checked for signs of corrosion.

The Panda Generator

A.2.3 Components of Cooling System (Freshwater)

Cooling water filler neck


The cooling water filler neck is situated at
the water-cooled manifold and 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. Topping up with cooling
water may only carried out at the external
cooling water compensation tank. Note
that the water level in the cooling water
compensation tank is only 20% of the vol-
ume in a cold state.

Fig. A.7: Cooling water filler neck

Freshwater backflow
The cooling water is fed to the heat
exchanger from the water-cooled manifold
by means of the pipe shown in the dia-
gram.

Fig. A.8: Freshwater backflow

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.9: Ventilation pipe

Page 16 Panda_8000NE_PMS_Digital_s00860_Operation manual.V01 - Chapter A: The Panda Generator 24.8.05


The Panda Generator

Hose connection pieces for the exter-


nal 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 ven-
tilation is only necessary when the gener-
ator is initially filled, or if the cooling water
is not circulating.

Fig. A.10: External expansion tank

Heat exchanger
Separates the raw water system from the
freshwater system.

The Panda Generator

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.16: 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.

Water-cooled exhaust manifold


The manifold is cooled by means of the
internal cooling system (freshwater). The
cooling water filler necks on the casing of
the manifold 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.

A.2.4 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. Since the suction height and the
supply pressure are limited, it can be
sometimes possible that for reinforcement
a second pump must be installed.

Fig. A.20: Fuel connections

Fuel filter
A consequential filtering of fuel is especi-
ally 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 instal-
lation.

Fig. A.21: Fuel filter

Page 20 Panda_8000NE_PMS_Digital_s00860_Operation manual.V01 - Chapter A: The Panda Generator 24.8.05


The Panda Generator

Fuel solenoid valve


The fuel solenoid valve opens automati-
cally 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
3
stops. If the generator does not start or 1
does not run smoothly (i.e. stutters), or
does not attain full speed, then the cause
is fore-mostly the solenoid.
1) Fuel solenoid valve
2
2) Ventilation screw solenoid valve
3) Magnetic coil

Fig. A.22: Fuel solenoid valve

Injection nozzles
If the engine does not start after the venti-
lation, the fuel injection lines must be de-
aerated individually.

Fig. A.23: Injection nozzles

Glow plugs
The glow plugs 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. This
is practically with each start the case. The
heat-treat fixture may be held down also
during start and favoured the starting pro-
cedure.

Fig. A.24: Glow plugs

24.8.05 Panda_8000NE_PMS_Digital_s00860_Operation manual.V01 - Chapter A: The Panda Generator Page 21


The Panda Generator

Stop solenoid for engine stop


Some model are additional equipped with
an stop solenoid. The generator is stop-
ped by the co-operation of the stop sole-
noid 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 pre-
stressing.

Fig. A.25: Stop solenoid

A.2.5 Components of combustion air

Air suction openings at the sound


cover
The sound cover for the marine generator
is normally provided at the lower surface
with drillings, through which the combu-
stion air can influx.
It must be consistently paid attention that
the generator is installed in such a way
that from down no water can arrive into
the proximity of these air openings. (mini-
mum distance 150 mm)

Fig. A.26: Combustion air intake

Drillings for combustion air at the


sound cover
Drillings at the lower surface of the sound
cover serve the admission of fresh air for
the entrance. It must be safe that no raw
water or other water can come into this
range of this openings. If air is sucked in
through these openings, water can pene-
trate also into the sound cover.

charge control
The shown air suction housing shows the 1
12V DC charge control (pos. 2) at the
exterior. This charge control is to be chek-
ked, if the 12V DC voltage is not correct.

If the cover (pos. 1) is removed, the inside
of the air suction housing becomes visible.
In these air suction housings is a filter ele-
ment. At the marine version the filter is
normally not changed. It should be chek-
ked once in a while.

Fig. A.28: Air suction housing

Air suction housing with air filter set


The figure shows the air filter element in
the air suction housing. However the
return pipe of the crank case exhaust
flows also into the air suction housing, it
can be faced with older generators and/or
with engines on high running time that oel
vapors affect the air filter. Therefore an
check is advisable once in a while.

Fig. A.29: Air filter set

Combustion chamber intake elbow


The figure shows the induction elbow at
the combustion engine. At the front of this
induction elbow you can see the hose
connection between air suction housings
and induction elbow. The air filter must be
checked, if this hose pulls together at ope-
ration.

A.2.8 Components of the oil circuit

Oil filler neck with cap


Normally the filler neck for the engine oil is
on the top side of the valve cover. At
numerous generator types a second filler
neck is attached additionally at the opera-
ting side. Please pay attention that the fil-
ler necks are always well locked after
filling in engine oil.
Consider also the references to the
engine oil specification.

Fig. A.71: Oil filler neck with cap

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.

The Panda Generator

Oil drain hose


The Panda generator is equipped that the
engine oil can be drained over an drain
hose. The generator should be always
installed therefore that a collecting basin
can be set up deeply enough. If this is not
possible, an electrical oil drain pump must
be installed.
Note: Lubricating oil should be drained in
the warm condition!

A.3 Operation instructions

A.3.1 Preliminary remark

Tips regarding Starter Battery


Fischer Panda recommends normal starter battery use. If a genset is required for extreme winter
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).
A correctly charged starter battery is necessary for low temperatures.

24.8.05 Panda_8000NE_PMS_Digital_s00860_Operation manual.V01 - Chapter A: The Panda Generator Page 39


The Panda Generator

A.3.2 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. 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 maximum level, if the level drops below
the mark between maximum und minimum levels.
The oil level of the oil cooled bearing must be checked before every start - see flow glas at the generator
front cover. Service interval 1000hrs.

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.

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 gen-
erator, 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 load.

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 circum-
stances, this can lead to the generator being re-excitated by means of a DC source. If the generator does not exci-
tate 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 automat-
ically switch off. Please adhere to the inspection timetable (see Checklist in the appendix).

The Panda Generator

A.3.3 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. If necessary, the main switch or fuse should be switched off or the load should be individually switched off.

4. Press Standby „ON/OFF“ button (Position 2 on control panel).

Control light for "Stand by" button must light up.

5. Press Generator "RUN/STOP" button (Position 06 on control panel).

After the automatic pre-glow phase the engine starts.


Control light for „Generator“ button must light up.
If the genset does not immediately start, then the fuel intake should be checked to ensure it is flowing freely. (For
temperatures below - 8°C check whether there is winter fuel)

6. Check circuit-voltmeter and frequency is within the tolerance rage

7. Switch on load.

A.3.4 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.

3. Press Generator „RUN/STOP“ button and switch off the generator.


4. Press Standby „ON/OFF“ button to switch off the panel.
5. Activate additonal switches (Battery switch, fuel stop valve etc.).
NOTE: Never switch off the battery until the generator has stopped.
6. If necessary, close sea cock.

An failure override button 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. This can last for several hours in certain circumstances, since the generator is enclosed in a sound-
insulated casing, which prevents heat loss.
This period can be reduced by pushing the „Alarm Mute“ button. By pressing the button all faults are overrided for
10 seconds. When the button is pressed again during the 10 seconds, 10 seconds will be added to the remaining
time. The generator can be started. The button bypasses any faults allowing the generator to run.
Before depressing the button, a manual check of the oil dipstick 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. If it has
been ascertained that the reason for the motor cutting out is overheating and not lack of oil, the generator can be
run for several minutes without load, so that the motor is cooled by the circulating coolant.

ATTENTION:
If the temperature is the reason for the generator cutting out when it is running under load, then an immediate
check must be made to determine the cause. It could be a fault with the cooling system, one of the fans, the air-
intake or a fault with the external cooling system.
Continual use of the starter-override switch should be avoided, while the generator cuts out during operation. The
generator must always run without load for several minutes before being switched off, so that a temperature com-
pensation occurs. Heat accumulation can cause the generator to overheat, even after ist has been switched off.
Should the overheating alarm be set off, caused by heat accumulation, after the generator has been switched off,
then this can also be bypassed using the switch.

Push:
„Alarm Mute“ to acknowledge
again „Alarm Mute“ to deactivate all sensors and
„Motor Start“ to restart the engine
