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 forexample 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 concentrateon 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 shortspace 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, becauseof the improved cooling. Panda generator demonstrated its superiority in several tests by renowned institutes andmagazines during the past years. The patented VCS (voltage Control System) means it can meet all demands includingmotor 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 themajority 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 invarious 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 manytimes for many uses, that they meet the demands in quality of yachts and vehicles, and offer space and weight savingof 50% compared to slow running generators.

In addition to the Panda series, Icemaster also supply the super compact high-tech sound-insulated battery charginggenset 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 forthis compact construction. This alternator replaces a separate shipboard generators (constant 230 volts AC with up to3500 kW from the main machine)

ICEMASTER GmbH, 33104 Paderborn, reserves all rights regarding text and graphics. Details are given to the best of our knowledge. No liability is accepted for correct-ness. Technical modifications for improving the product without previous notice may be undertaken without notice. Before installation, it must be ensured that the Pictures,diagrams and related material are applicable to the genset supplied. Enquiries must be made in case o doubt.

CALIFORNIA

Proposition 65 Warning

Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause cancer,

birth defects, and other reproductive harm.

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 determinedthat 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 respectivesystem. 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 theresponsibility 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 resultfrom errors in the periphery.

Problems due to errors in the installation can be recognized in the apron.

Safety Instructions

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 andbody!If a sound insulation covering must be produced at the place of installation, then well-placed signs must show thatthe 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 ofthe respective regional authority must be adhered to. Only an electrician may carry out installation of the electricalconnections for safety reasons.

Protective Conductor:

The generator is „earthed " as standard (The centre and earth are connected by means of a bridge in the generatorterminal box). This is a basic safety function, which offers basic safety as long as no other component has beeninstalled. 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”. Thebridges 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 ensuredthat 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 ACcontrol box must be disconnected in order to avoid the boat capacitors being activated. The minus pole of the batteryought 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 exchangedor 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 meansof 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 forthe generator. The connection neck forthe raw water connection is shown on theleft hand side. The cross-section of theintake pipe should be nominally largerthan 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 seavalve, then you must expect the impellerto be destroyed after a short period oftime. It is recommended to store severalimpellers on board as spare parts.

Fig. A.3: Raw water impeller pump

Heat exchanger

Separates the raw water system from thefreshwater system.

Fig. A.4: Heat exchanger

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 .Theexhaust connections must be regularlychecked for signs of corrosion.

Fig. A.6: Raw water injector nozzle

The Panda Generator


A.2.3 Components of Cooling System (Freshwater)

Cooling water filler neck

The cooling water filler neck is situated atthe water-cooled manifold and only used,when the generator is initially started.Since the generator is normally alreadyfilled with cooling water, these compo-nents are only by the user, if repairs are tobe carried out. Topping up with coolingwater may only carried out at the externalcooling water compensation tank. Notethat the water level in the cooling watercompensation 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 heatexchanger from the water-cooled manifoldby means of the pipe shown in the dia-gram.

Fig. A.8: Freshwater backflow

Ventilation pipe

The ventilation pipe at the water-cooledexhaust manifold leads to the externalexpansion tank. This pipe only serves asa ventilation pipe, if both pipes are to beconnected to the external expansion tank(ventilation pipe and intake pipe).

Fig. A.9: Ventilation pipe

The Panda Generator


Hose connection pieces for the exter-nal expansion tank

The external expansion tank is connectedby two hose connections. The connectingpieces shown here serves as constantventilation for the water-cooling system.

In case the external expansion tank isconnected with two hoses, the system willventilate itself. In this case, additional ven-tilation is only necessary when the gener-ator is initially filled, or if the cooling wateris not circulating.

Fig. A.10: External expansion tank

Heat exchanger

Separates the raw water system from thefreshwater system.

Fig. A.11: Heat exchanger

Cooling water connection block

The cooling water is fed to the generatorand drained via the cooling water connec-tion block. The cooling water connectionblock consists of an aluminium alloy,which can behave like a sacrificial anode.

Fig. A.12: Cooling water connection block

The Panda Generator


Cooling water pipe

The Panda Generator


Ventilation screw cooling water pump

The ventilation screw above the coolingwater pump casing may not be opened,whilst the generator is running. If thisoccurs by mistake, air will be drawnthrough the opening. Extensive ventilationof the whole system is then necessary.

Fig. A.16: Ventilation screw cooling water pump

Ventilation screw thermostat housing

The ventilation screw on the thermostathousing should occasionally be openedfor control purposes. Standing machineryshould principally carry out ventilating.

Fig. A.17: Ventilation screw thermostat housin

Water-cooled exhaust manifold

The manifold is cooled by means of theinternal cooling system (freshwater). Thecooling water filler necks on the casing ofthe manifold may not be opened. Thesecooling water necks are only required tofill the motor with cooling water in cases ofrepair. The normal cooling water controlsmay only be carried out at the externalexpansion tank.

Fig. A.18: Water-cooled exhaust manifold

The Panda Generator


A.2.4 Components of the fuel system

External fuel pump

The Panda generator is always suppliedwith an external, electrical (12 V of DC) fuelpump. The fuel pump must be alwaysinstalled in the proximity of the tank. Theelectrical connections with the lead plan-ned for it are before-installed at the gene-rator. Since the suction height and thesupply pressure are limited, it can besometimes possible that for reinforcementa second pump must be installed.

Connecting pieces for the fuel pipe

1. Fuel intake

2. Fuel backflow

Fig. A.20: Fuel connections

Fuel filter with water separator

A consequential filtering of fuel is especi-ally important for all marine systems. A finefilter, which is firmly attached to the insideof the sound insulation capsule for themarine version, is supplied on delivery, andloose for other makes. In all cases a furtherpre-filter with water separator must beinstalled. See directions for fuel filter instal-lation.

Fig. A.21: Fuel filter with water separator

The Panda Generator


Fuel solenoid valve

The fuel solenoid valve opens automati-cally if „START“ is pressed on the remotecontrol panel“. The solenoid closes, if thegenerator is switched to „OFF“ position. Ittakes a few seconds before the generatorstops. If the generator does not start ordoes not run smoothly (i.e. stutters), ordoes not attain full speed, then the causeis fore-mostly the solenoid.

1) Fuel solenoid valve2) Ventilation screw solenoid valve3) 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 forthe heating with cold start. The heat-treatfixture must be operated, if the tempera-ture of the generator is under 16°C. Thisis practically with each start the case. Theheat-treat fixture may be held down alsoduring start and favoured the starting pro-cedure.

The Panda Generator


Stop solenoid for engine stop

Some model are additional equipped withan stop solenoid. The generator is stop-ped by the co-operation of the stop sole-noid immediately after switching off. Theadjustment of the stop solenoid mustalways be checked, in order to be surethat the stop lever can move also duringthe 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 generatoris provided at the back side of the soundcover with drillings, through which thecombustion air can influx.

It must be consistently paid attention thatthe generator is installed in such a waythat from down no water can arrive intothe proximity of these air openings. (mini-mum distance 150 mm)

Fig. A.26: Combustion air intake

Air suction housing with 12V DC charge control

The shown air suction housing shows the12V DC charge control (pos. 2) at theexterior. This charge control is to be chek-ked, if the 12V DC voltage is not correct.

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

Air suction housing with air filter set

The figure shows the air filter element inthe air suction housing. However thereturn pipe of the crank case exhaustflows also into the air suction housing, itcan be faced with older generators and/orwith engines on high running time that oelvapors affect the air filter. Therefore ancheck is advisable once in a while.

Fig. A.28: Air filter set

Combustion chamber intake elbow

The figure shows the induction elbow atthe combustion engine. At the front of thisinduction elbow you can see the hoseconnection between air suction housingsand induction elbow. The air filter must bechecked, if this hose pulls together at ope-ration.

Fig. A.29: Combustion chamber intake elbow

Exhaust elbow

On the back of the engine is the water-cooled exhaust elbow. On the top side thepipe union for the internal raw water cir-cuit is to be seen and the filler neck for thecooling water. This cooling water fillerneck is used only at first filling. Control ofthe cooling water and if necessary refilltakes place at the external cooling waterexpansion tank.

The Panda generator is equipped that theengine oil can be drained over an drainhose. The generator should be alwaysinstalled therefore that a collecting basincan be set up deeply enough. If this is notpossible, an electrical oil drain pump mustbe installed.

Note: Lubricating oil should be drained inthe warm condition!

A.3 Operation manual

A.3.1 Preliminary remark

Tips regarding Starter Battery

Fischer Panda recommends normal starter battery use. If a genset is required for extreme winterconditions, then the starter battery capacity should be doubled. It is recommended that the starterbattery 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.

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, ifthe oil level drops to the lowest limit. Air can be sucked in suddenly when the boat rocks in heavy seas, if the oillevel is at a minimum. This affects the grease in the bearings. It is therefore necessary to check the oil level dailybefore initially running the generator. The oil level must be topped up to the maximum level, if the level drops belowthe 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 generatorfront cover .

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 largeexpansion 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-openedbefore 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 theraw 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 certainlypossible that the raw water impeller pump will produce leaks, depending upon the situation. (This can be causedby sand particles in the raw water etc.) In this case, immediately exchange the pump, because the dripping waterwill 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 incase 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 screwsmust 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 willbe 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).

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-switch „ON/OFF“ (Position 2 on control panel).

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

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

After the automatic pre-glow phase the engine starts.The electric starter may only be used for a maximum of 20 seconds. Thereafter, a pause of, at least, 60 seconds isrequired. If the genset does not immediately start, then the fuel intake should be checked to ensure it is flowing fre-ely. (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 withoutload, before it is switched off, regardless of the load.

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

4. Activate additonal switches (Battery switch, fuel stop valve etc.).

NOTE: Never switch off the battery until the generator has stopped.

5. If necessary, close sea cock.

B. E-Tec Remote control panel

The remote control panel is equipped with some monitoring functions, which increases the operational safety ofthe generator. A failure message is shown over contacts which are normaly closed. If a connection is intermittedtriggers this a failure message.

There are two different displays:

1) The „Engine view“, which shows you the engine relevant datas like temperatures.

2) The „Generator view“, which shows you the generator relevant datas like voltages.

To Start the Engine:

1.) Press the „Standby“-Switch (02) - the LED below the button has to come up.

You should see a display that looks like the one beneath.

2.) Press the „run/stop“ button (06) (after the automatic pre-glow phase the engines starts)

The LED below the button blinks during the start procedure, when the engine has started the LED flashes con-stant.First the generator runs in idle-speed for the predefined period.Than the engine runs up to the normal rotation speed.

The first panel get the „Adress 0“.

The second panel get the „Adress 1“

To store this settings press the button„Select Save“.



An failure override button enables an immediate restart facility of the generator, should it cut out, even if this wascaused by over-heating. There is normally a requirement to wait until the motor has cooled down to the correcttemperature. 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 for10 seconds. When the button is pressed again during the 10 seconds, 10 seconds will be added to the remainingtime. 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 thegenerator has sufficient oil, as it is possible that the oil pressure switch causes the generator to cut out. If it hasbeen ascertained that the reason for the motor cutting out is overheating and not lack of oil, the generator can berun 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 immediatecheck 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. Thegenerator 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.

„Alarm Mute“ to acknowledge

again „Alarm Mute“ to deactivate all sensors and

„Motor Start“ to restart the engine
